Psychology: Do I fit a category of Narcissism?

Male, 21
I was wondering if I fit a certain psychological stereotype. I'm a postgraduate student, ambitious, and I used to be rather fat during my adolescence. However I changed that around and got into fitness. I'm obsessed with training to the extent that if I go to McDonald's I will force myself to makeup those extra calories in training. I believe I'm good looking and have been told so, yet still I will have times were I completely lack self confidence. I cherish complements to fill my ego and I do unfortunately look down upon some, yet I still admire those who have achieved. I have researched narcissism and I seem to hit a few benchmarks.

I'm confident in certain situations such as work, home and places where I feel I'm control. I like to show off, expensive clothing, reputable job, motorbikes, adrenaline sports. However to me I feel like I do these things as ways to broaden my mind and social life. I need friends in my life, without social company I get bored. I get bored of girls easily as they don't have the same interests as me. For example I left my last girlfiend as she was racist to my housemate.

I enjoy relationships but I like space to do my own thing, I'm confident in the bedroom and that also fills my ego. I do a lot of stupid stuff and like to be centre of attention, Get terrorised by friends over the bad decisions I make yet I take it well.

I'm kinda just testing water and seeing if anyone could categorise me through this short intro

Narcissism is loving yourself so much to the detriment of others and you.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a personality disorder, not just vanity.

Good for you you lost the fat and discovered how being healthy benefits you.
I hope you do not feel disdain towards 'heavy' people as you know firsthand the struggle.

You did not describe narcissism nor a personality disorder.

You are probably just proud of your 'new' body. It isn't interfering with your life.

What you describe is vanity, Narcissism is a personality disorder it's about a person who because of their insecurity tries to generate, and control drama to keep people distracted from what they perceive to be their own 'fatal-flaw'.

So maybe, but it's not about what you do, it's HOW you do it.
