Hi
myself aged 23,male.
i feel i am suffering from depression and will be consulting someone soon.
i feel may be i am a victim of a narcissist.
Its about my best friend and i feel, he is a narcissist and i am suffering because of him.
Let me tell very clearly that this friend of mine shows lots of empathy and care. he has lots of friends,is very active in his social life.his friends generally trust him lots.he has this great ability to make them talk about personel stuff, he loves helping them and takes pride in this fact. He is voracious in making friends,getting personel with them and making them feel special.he readily talks about his problems too, though i feel that is too invoke sympathy.
But there r ppl who hate him also,may be they r jealous, i dont know.
it was he who made me his friend.. he confided that he was a victim of child abuse and it haunts him..he has some gayish traits though he is damn good in making frnds with the opposite sex..
i am really confused..it seems he is a narcissist..
wht i want to know specifically is that can ppl displaying empathy and with active social life be narcissits.. sometimes i do feel he doesnt care abt my problems though..
our relation has dropped a bit but i feel stricken..cant get him out of my mind

Usually people who are narcissist who only care about themselves.
Here is something I found that may be able to help you figure out if he is narcissist.
