mild self-criticism
"Well, you're certainly not a person. No, you're not specific enough to be a person. You're more like a vibe."
That line came up while I was watching Steven Soderbergh's The Limey, one of my favorite gangster films. I always worry that line, originally spoken about a soulless record producer, applies to me.
One from Rudy Rucker's Software, too: "I'm an artist without an art. I just move people's heads around."
Core worry: that I'm an unusually(?) well-hidden narcissist.

@neonNeptunian Yeah, I spent a little time hanging out on the raisedbynarcissists community on Reddit (mostly out of psychological curiosity, frankly my parents are pretty awesome n.n; ) and that seemed to be the gold standard: "If you have the self-awareness to seriously wonder if you're a narcissist, you're probably not."
