Maybe I should take your not believing me as a compliment.
Not entirely sure what to make of the diagnosis. Maybe I should get a second opinion. From another professional.
I dont think so.

In my experience, a true narcissist doesn't care enough to seek multiple diagnosis. In fact, denial of being a narcissist is huge part of it.

Well I didn't seek the diagnosis. I was given it. I don't necessarily agree with it either.

I do have some minor tendencies/traits but they don't come close to meeting the diagnostic criteria.
Oh shit, that's denial,............... I may be in trouble.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I haven't, but if I had some serious psychological problem I probably wouldn't participate in internet forums until I got better.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
