I was speaking to a friend recently who suggested that maybe instead of curing my narcissism, it is more important for me to cure my vulnerability, which is not only a major turn-off and relationship-ruiner, but also the cause of all my ongoing depression.

If I was to summarise what I mean by vulnerability, it is the 'woe is me' spiralling thought process, the rumination about how unfair life has been (to a genius like me who clearly deserves xyz), the comparison and jealousy to everyone else who seems to have so much more than me, and my insecurity about all aspects of my looks and personality.

I wondered if anyone else had managed to overcome a lot of these vulnerable behaviours? If so, how? I am accessing therapy, but at the moment it doesn't take much to trigger all of these feelings and cause them to resurface again.
