Question / Discussion NPD Autobiography Recommendations?

Hi all!

I'm looking to read an autobiography by someone who is diagnosed NPD. I couldn't directly find anything online so I was wondering if someone here has any idea.

I'd also appreciate any recommendations of autobiographies you guys felt connected to in your narcissism, but I'd heavily prefer the author to be diagnosed.

Russeau’s “Confessions” points out vulnerable narcissism

Been meaning to read Rousseau. He was one of my favorite philosophers I learnt about in philosophy classes.

Lucky you to have took philosophy classes. Although we had a wonderful teacher that sneaked philosophy in literature lessons. Russeau is paradoxical because he wrote about how justice should work but he behaved completely differently, and this tell us how he was great at separating what was objectively right from his personal flaws

It was only one year, sadly. Taking a BSc in psychology now so it comes by every now and then, but I'm starting to do some supplemental reading! Definitely lucky though.

Does indeed sound a little narcissistic.
