Is this an NPD thing?
Because of grandiosity I don't see other people as like "worthy" of giving me approval? Like people describe npd as like constantly seeking approval or attention and i do do that sometimes, but more often even if I was seeking it, if someone compliments me I'll feel irritated they'd think I want or care about their approval.
I get angry when people give me too much praise or whatever cus it feels like "what?! You think my ego's so fragile I actually need your worthless opinion?" (even if I was intentionally trying to get their worthless opinion)
Like people talk about having a self worth determined externally by others but I don't see people as smart enough to determine my self worth. Most people are stupid so why would I rely on them for that?
Sometimes I even get the inverse of what people intend like of someone tells me I'm bad it feeds the grandiosity and if they tell me I'm good it makes me feel worthless and defensive
But if I respect the person this flips around
What's up with that? Is that an npd thing?
