There’s a definition of narcissism that I like: “You and I are one, and I am the one!” So that erases you as a separate being, and doesn’t let you develop your own individuality. I note that you refer to yourself as a "girl." You are, at 32, a woman, not a girl. In therapy, I hope you can develop your individual identity separate from that of anyone else. Look for a therapist who promotes individual agency and helps you become the woman you truly are.
