*might be a narcissist. Sorry!

(I was directed here from my post there. Hopefully you guys can shed some light on this. I'm just going to copy and paste directly from there.)

So, I'm not really sure if this is allowed on this sub. If it's not, please tell me so I can remove it! Also, please direct me to somewhere I could post this.

Here's why I'm not sure if it's allowed; it's about my friend, who has no formal diagnosis, who has no kids, and we're all in high school. It is simply a hunch me and my friends have. So, I would like an opinion (or possibly multiple) from people who have experience interacting with people who are narcissistic and could shed some light on what they think.

So, my friend, we'll call her "Josie," has some tendencies and habits that lead me and and a few of my other friends, "Nadia" and "Mark" to believe she is a narcissist. I've been binging this sub, and I've seen a lot of similarities between Nparents and Josie.

One example is "nothing is her fault, and if it is, it isn't that big of a deal."

So, the backstory behind this is as follows. Nadia is clingy, and knows that. She once asked Josie if she found her too clingy, as Josie had been hanging out with "Kathrine" more. Josie told her no, she doesn't find her too clingy. This, obviously, was not the case as she came up with a plan that involved saying she liked Nadia's crush (who likes her back, and will be from now on known as Noah) to try and destroy their friendship; and quite possibly Nadia's "relationship" with Noah too. I should note that Josie's crush, who we will call Wally, who also likes her back, okayed this plan.

Yet another friend, we'll call her Lydia, was a whistleblower. She told Nadia, who then blew up at Josie. Josie then stated that there wasn't any plan, and Lydia had made it up to destroy their (Josie and Nadia's) friendship. When other evidence came out, she backtracked, and said that she "never planned to go through with it" and "it was just a joke."

Another thing is "everything is about them/all attention is theirs."

Everywhere she goes, if a male our age even glances in her direction, she will claim he was "checking her out." If they, gasp, say hi, she claims "they like her." By the way, we live in the Midwest, where everyone says hi to complete strangers all the time, so it really doesn't mean anything. If I'm honest, she's not really that pretty, so there is that.

Another thing that has effected me especially, is the need to "one up, even in bad situations."

So, I have anxiety and/or depression I'm pretty sure. Because of this, I have quite a few panic attacks. There is a group chat with me, Nadia, Noah, and Josie. (This is because me, Nadia, Noah, Josie, Mark, and Wally all are in one friend group, but Mark doesn't have a phone, and Wally doesn't have an iPhone/Apple product to be in this group text.) If I get one, I will often go to this chat and try to talk it out. However, more often than not, Josie will text me (in one between me and her only) the morning after (because these often happen at night) and say things like "you'll be okay, you just to pray (we are all Christians, and I was already told this while it was happening anyways)." One time, she told me "you know, you need to calm down. I had it too, in fact I was having them every night, (at this point I was too, just not going to the text group every night) and I told no one. And now I'm all okay, in fact I'm better than I was before. If it happened to me, and I'm okay, surely you'll be okay too. I mean, I did have it worse than you."

So, what do you guys think? Could she be a narcissist? If you want more stories, you can ask for specific narcissistic tendencies/habits, and I'll see if there's a story. If there is, I'll either edit this post, or just reply to your comment. Thank you so much!

TL;DR- Is my friend a narcissist?
