You want to change? Then work on it. Identify the thought patterns that lead you to be like this, and change or avoid them. Identify the things that make you be more like you want, and focus on doing them more.

What are some of the narcissistic personality traits you think you posses?

>huge fragile ego
>lack of empathy
>emotionally manipulative
>good at pretending to be interested and loving at first in order to get close to people (usually other needy people), then withdraw my affection in order to emotionally abuse them. I'll do this as long as I can get away with it before they finally walk away I go into full attack mode and tear them down as much as possible before trying to get them back into a relationship with me to start the cycle all over again
Also I'm not proud of any of this. It's quite disgusting behavior but when I'm in the mix it just feels like I'm acting out my feelings

Well, the first step to change is accepting there's a problem so props to you for identifying this. I would listen to what >>18300474 anon said. This isn't easy but you've already found the problems that you want to fix, strive to be the person you really want to be, or if not, don't hide the person you really are (being nice upfront and then being an asshole, just be an asshole from the beginning)

Yea you can change. Narcissism is a spectrum. It's not like you have it/you don't. Soo fix it and pull your head outta your ass
