Do I Have Narcissistic Personality Disorder?

Every day I aspire to be successful yet I'm just sat at home on Facebook wasting precious time, just expecting that one day I will be rich and everybody will like me for who I am. I'm failing college because of it.

I wouldn't say that I was an outcast, my school experiences were not bad, I just coped with people whom I had to; to always put on a mask in front of others - to never show my emotions - yet I craved for people to see who I really was, but I was too afraid of that. I loathed those who were carefree about life, who were more outgoing than I have ever been yet always managed to get the grade, but have recently been throwing their lives down the drain. I hate them. They have had everything I wanted but I never did.

I'm just so confused. I'm aware of the reality, but my heart is set on this deluded dream. It's like I have a gut feeling that life will work out for me, but I can see from some people around me that life's not like that. I'm just set on achieving that one in a million chance of becoming that person who others will aspire to, dismissing other opportunities that will get me by in life.

    No, you're just lazy and unmotivated. Turn off the computer and go make something of your life.
