"Am I a narcissist… or is it something else?" You're the type of woman who double-checks every email, text, or conversation for signs that you hurt someone… even if they said “no worries.”

If you're a high-achieving woman spiraling over whether you're secretly narcissistic, this episode is for you. I'm unpacking the viral fear that’s gripping perfectionists, people-pleasers, and overthinkers everywhere: when OCD makes you doubt your core character.

I'll break down how moral scrupulosity OCD can convince brilliant, empathetic women that they’re toxic or worse: selfish, when nothing could be further from the truth. You'll hear the real diagnostic criteria for narcissistic personality disorder, how it differs from obsessive self-doubt, and why successful women are more vulnerable to this specific intrusive fear.

I share how this fear shows up in daily life, especially in relationships, and offer concrete validation if you’ve ever wondered: “What if I’m a bad person?” This is part one in my series on narcissism myths, OCD, and the pressure to be perfect.
