I seriously think I have Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It's weird because I do recognize it and try to keep it in check so it doesn't or {hasn't thusfar} affected me in real "space" because in person you'd probably "get me" more.
I'm very animated during verbal communication so I don't
usually come off so obnoxiously, most people typically find it funny {BUT again this is in person}, so I'm guessing in cyberspace, you can't HEAR the tone behind the words so on a blank canvas it just looks like a bunch of arrogant
bull_ _ _ _.
I am who I am and I won't apologize for that, BUT please know that any advice or feedback given by all was truly appreciated by all means.
NO... NO... don't try to stop me...{
dramatic hand over face} I don't want anyone to think I feel exhiled from "the island", because I don't.
I can only be me and I'm being honest in stating that I'm not going to sit here for an hour and review my posts to make sure that I don't offend anyone and discern whether the posts appear too superior, or too arrogant.... because I'm expressing myself impromptu. I'm willing to say I can't control my thinking in this competitive world we live in today... I feel a strong desire to strive for perfection and this aloofness may come out in my form of thought which has been transcripted in these posts.
HOWEVER, with realizing in statements made by many that I come off as superior, condescending or BOTTOM LINE full of myself, I've taken a mental note to be used later in circumstances where my narcissism must be bottled.
Well Wishes, and Good Luck to you all...
Thank you for clearing the air. Thoughts do come across differently when written then in talking. This website is meant, at least to me, to help all of those involved in nursing in whatever capacity to promote a forum in which we can all lean on each other in this journey of achieving the ultimate goal of becoming an RN. I am deeply appreciative of all those who have taken the time to respond to my plethora of questions over the years. And since I have finished my first year, I feel it is important to mentor those who are about to begin their journey into NS. It is my hope that someone can take something from what I've experienced and turn it into something positive for them. Teaching is fundamental to nursing and I feel that I should give back what I have learned to the nursing community. No one can understand the complexities of NS unless they are in the thick of it or whom are already nurses. We are in the profession of caring and that extends to whomever calls upon us.
I met my mentor here on this forum a few years ago and I couldn't have been as successful as I am in NS without this wonderful and special person. We all need to feel understood and validated. We all need to feel that we can do this in spite of all the obstacles in school and at home. And that is what allnurses has done for me and I have never met any of these special souls!
So good luck to everyone in their pursuit and never give up!
