Anyone else suffering from NPD?

[Pulling a Sangwoo]

Since I was a kid, I always thought I was going to become something amazing in the future. I was at the top of my class, I had so much energy, and everyone knew me. I was getting opportunities for various things, and then, BOOM, everything just fell apart. I went from feeling like I was on top of the world to losing all my friends and opportunities in one year due to depression and other unfortunate circumstances. I thought I would be going places, but now look at me. Maybe I was always destined to fail, and I was just delusional. Everyone thought I was good at everything, and now I can't even face them. I'm just a lousy kid with big ambitions that seem out of my reach and it's bad. I wish I died on December 13th 2023 I wish my dad did not find me. To make thing short i used to look down on people and I used to think I was better than everyone and now looook

a lot of NPD is actually undiagnosed ADHD. You also say you were a "gifted" child now a burnt out adult, this is common among adhd who never get diagnosed and properly medicated

Narcissistic or Adult ADHD?

There seems to be a disorder for everything now. I was doing well until last year when I was 17 idk if I'm burnt out I just became depressed and stopped doing anything

Have you been diagnosed? This doesn't sound like NPD, this sounds like gifted kid burnout.

Most people with NPD don't self reflect enough to consider they have it. They don't tell people this but the transition from late teens to adulthood can be very depressing. The golden age of childhood is fading away and dreams that you aspired toward in youth vaporize. This is way more prevalent than people let on. If I can offer anything from experience, letting depression and bedrotting go on for an extended length is almost as bad as being on hard drugs. It sets a bad pattern for the rest of your life too. Hopefully you can scale bac the "big aspirations" and stay busy doing something you genuinely like. Maybe like other's said, you need to rest and regroup.

34 here, my dad said I have npd but it makes way more sense if I had adhd as I never really had grand plans nor thought I was better than other people. Just shy and afraid of interacting

But agree with above, I've tangled with depression and bedrotting after college being mostly a neet and now idk how to break through it.

Nvm after watching that video I think I might have npd after all

Maybe the lesson in all this is that you're not better than anyone else.
