What do my symptoms say about me?

Am I a narcissist?

I might have used the wrong tag it’s either that one or a discussion and opinion tag that’s right for this idk

I recently discovered what narcissism is and I extremely strongly relate to most of the symptoms or traits about it, specifically the desperation for attention/admiration, the insecurity, and the ego problem (the thinking I’m better and that other peers are worse) based on intelligence (cerebral narcissism). I also think there’s some small manipulative things as well

However I told my therapist and he pointed out that I don’t think I’m always right or incapable of being wrong and that alone makes me not a narcissist.

But I still think the other parts I do resonate with fit me better than anything else I have found so I want to know what this means for me. I am still researching and learning about it more and more but I am unsure with that so I wonder what other people think
