Am I a narcissist?

the quiz says I'm definitely sensitive but I'm constantly told on empathetic and the quiz seems to be more self deprivation than actually being empathetic

You might have a warped perception of your behavior, so asking other people to be honest with you can be helpful for figuring out if you have narcissistic tendencies. For an outside perspective from someone who's more unbiased and completely unrelated to you, you can seek professional help.

I wouldn't take the results of this quiz too seriously. Its just something to consider. Narcissism is something that you must be diagnosed with. Seek a professional opinion.

Yes it is important to take care of yourself first sometimes. But if what you are doing isn’t so harming others forget it if how you are choosing to take care of yourself is hurting people stop find another way set clear boundaries for yourself but remember to take care of people and be as understanding as you can. :3 have a lovely day

It is true that self care is important, but it must not be confused with self-indulgence. Care for yourself, to better provide those around you. Care, as in to improve your health, moral, and understanding; provide, as in to give for the sake of kind intention rather then the expectation of return. To provide for the well being your family, friends, and all those around you in any way at any scale. It is important to note that when "giving" you must find a way to do so in a healthy and logical manner, that way you are not affected in any negative way.

I don’t think it’s a bad thing necessarily, but you might hurt peoples feelings often. Also, with the sibling ones, what if someone doesn’t have a sibling, also, my sibling and I don’t really have a good relationship. We haven’t for most of my life.

honestly, I gotta say, I got empathetic. like the test said, it's a blessing, and a curse. I care about others too much, and I feel like I give everything away for their own happiness, and people still take advantage of me. so, it is good to take care of yourself. but, make sure that you care about others too, so you don't lose friends or trust.

The questions are good, but the result doesn’t fit. I know I m a “Super Empath” (Official test and more than 5 therapists told me)…after I hit rock bottom during a relationship with a narcissistic borderliner. I healed and learned to set my mental health and well being at first priority. That doesn’t mean I m “not an empath) as the result said.

I think when the person hurts you on purpose (mentally/physically) too many time that were you draw the line

You draw the line being true to your self. Then your life will unfold accordingly.... if you are not satisfied with how life unfolds go back to thinking and talking to those close to you.

Putting yourself first is not a bad thing, however, when you bring in empathy in it’s a bit different. If you decide to put yourself first regardless of having an understanding of someone else’s situation that may require more attention above you, then yes you lack empathy. You lack it because you thought yourself more valuable and disregarded their situation and feelings putting your own above all.

I wonder how does one take care of and help others if they can’t do it for themselves ? Doesn’t one need to be healed and in a half decent position to be able to help others ?

I got "total empath", but i feel like I'm selfish.

you can be focused on yourself as much as you want wikidugongweaver655.

I agree 100%. I put myself first, and then I take care of the people around me once I'm good. How is that narcissism?
