>>6293468>the harder you try to be good, the more you'll realize you're bad and the more conflicted and fucked up you'll become.I believe that to an extent. During my narcissistic phase, I had part of the same mindset, I just lacked empathy. I didn't realize how harmful my efforts to 'be good' were. I take a lot of time to consider my actions, the ramifications, etc now.. It's lead to some paranoia (though that's always been there, desu, same with the anxiety), but with everything that I've gone through, I've become a lot more empathetic. If not for one of my friends and their family (I consider them a second family at this point), I don't know where I would be. I really don't.
