How do I know if I am a narcissist or not?

I'm trying to figure out what's 'me' versus what's a pattern that got named. I don't even have a clean name for it. I just know it keeps running the day. I'm not asking strangers to diagnose me. I am asking what the day-to-day actually looks like for people who live this. I keep finding essays that sound right and still don't change Tuesday morning. If you've been here, what actually helped — not what sounded wise, what helped.

If you feel guilty about this question, chances are you're not a narcissist. Actual narcissists rarely self-examine with genuine concern.

  I needed this today more than I want to admit.
