• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I finally have high self esteem and think the glass is half full.I am a postive guy with a good attitude.Nothing can bring me down cause I am blindly in love with myself I think I have narcissistic personality disorder cause I am in love with myself and have all the symptoms of it. I enjoy being high and powerful and I am full of success.I look at life that way.I show no remorse cause who needs remorse to live not me.I can do without being remorseful.I can be heartless most of the times and selfish. I also think I am a sociopath cause I have all traits of antisocial personality disorder. But back to self esteem I have it very or extremely high self esteem and it feels great.

It's good that you realize that you are self centered. If your self-esteem is very high, why not use it as a tool for the glory of God? Love others and bring them to Christ with your social skills and positivity, and be sure that you do it out of love for others and not for yourself.

Thanks for the laugh and seek help immediately...

Agreed, too much self-centeredness can be narcissistic and will cause problems in your social relationships!

Either you are just feeling good and being overly boastful, Serial, or you are having a medical bipolar high. The latter could require medication to keep one from causing self much harm. If such a "high" continues I would suggest you see a physician, for it appears to be exaggerated euphoria.

Read your Bible and see the life God expects of those who know Him and are wanting to be faithful. Look up always.

Narcissistic people aren't capable of low self esteem. Narcissism is 'self love'. I don't believe sociopaths are capable of low self esteem either. It sound like their may be some bipolar issues. This is why you have the extremes in your views on yourself.
I don't often recommend medication as a first method, but in your case the extreme swings in mood may require it.
And i am referencing other posts by the same user, so my response may not make sense in light of this post alone.
