Removing escape mechanisms to increase self-awareness

I have been on NoFap for around 120 days or so and have been straight edge for around a month. I think removing these distractions has made me realize that I am a narcissist. I've been thinking a lot about the way I treat people and also why I spend a lot of my time alone been single for most of my adult life (i'm 29).

I am feeling a sadness that I have not felt before and I am starting to look at my own faults for my unhappiness instead of looking at other people or the world. Narcissism is a scary thing to start realizing about yourself because it takes a massive amount of effort to try and cure yourself of it.

Has anyone else experienced greater self awareness since being on nofap and removing other escape mechanisms? I have read about people feeling very sad and also losing friends throughout the nofap process. I cut off one of my best friends recently because I realized he was a narcissist too and that we were bad for each other.

I am interested to hear other peoples experiences.
