Being called narcissistic

Post Reply New Topic

I often get called narcisstic, arrogant or self-entitled, both in real life and on Facebook.

There was a girl in my class who picked on me. I told her "Shut up, I hate you!". The teacher heard it and told me that "God's position is already occupied.". A few days later, I messaged the girl and told her to stop harassing me. She said that I am arrogant and I have "God syndrome".

the eff has god got to do with whether or not you hate a person?

Also, why are you messaging her about her harassing you? People who harass aren't likely to be susceptible to reason, so just tell someone else, preferrably an authority figure such as a a teacher or the like.

As for the narcissism, I think it's common for aspies of a certain stripe to come off that way. It's not really narcisssism, and the people who can't tell the difference aren't likely to be worth your time.

I get called prideful or proud often but never got called narcisstic or arrogant.

Interesting. A lot of the NTs on the AS Partners website seem to confuse AS with narcissism, and they complain that their lives have to revolve round their Aspie partners. There's probably some truth in that, in that it can end up that way, but I think that when it does, it's not because of the deliberate manipulative work of the Aspie, it's the result of the behaviour of both parties.

Whether that's got anything to do with the OP's problems at the hands of people, I don't know. One thing stands out for a mile - those people are failing to come out with their criticisms in a way that can be dealt with, instead they seem to be hiding behind glib put-downs and sweeping generalisations. Pathetic.

I got called a self absorbed sh!t / whom will die a lonely recluse miserable old man a friend to nobody once by somebody and was told to be my self / stop trying so hard to fit in by another so I'm confused two different messages but I have been told by professionals that I am pessimistic and cynical....to which I do agree to an extent.

I can see where an aspie could be called a know-it-all, and have difficulty showing empathy, which is similar to narcissists, but I think that's where the similarities end.

I was called narcissistic online a lot when I was dealing with a bad depression & kept posting about things trying to sort things out.

While this may be true, the heart of the matter is that perception is reality. If people perceive you as narcissistic, then, to them - you are. Therefore it's actually important to be consciously aware of the things you say and do in order not to come across as narcissistic or arrogant.

Yeah I can't say I wasn't back in high school, combine that with a lack of skill in everything and a weird appearance and I'd be wondering why no one had pulled the trigger on me back then.

I think narcissism is a buzzed word. Lot of people don't even know what it means so they label anyone with such. I see mommy bloggers being called that and other parents and republicans and so on. It makes me be skeptical about the word. NPD is a condition so to label anyone with it makes me not take it seriously because that many people couldn't possibly have it. it's like what people have done with the word bully and I see people do the same with the word abuse and I see sociopath being tossed around too. That is like label anyone with Asperger's who is rude or socially awkward or has a strong interest or good at math or computers and I bet that would annoy a lot of us because it would trivialize the condition and people wouldn't take us seriously when we say we have it.

Get of your high horse.loljk Girls in particular have told me stuff like that when in reality its not the case
