Hello, Dr. Kirk. I’m having difficulty understanding the differences between overfunctioning and narcissism. Some of the traits seem very similar, like doing tasks because you think you would be better at them, and putting someone in an inferior position to maintain superiority. Both seem a little grandiose and self-centered. Any insight on how to tell the difference between these presentations?

I have a difficult type ignoring systematic problems. I feel like I need to prevent them from happening before I get blamed. This affects me at work alot. Because I understand where this habit comes from I'm hoping I am able to stop internalizing systematic problems.
