WhatIsMyProblem

Im attempting to self diagnose :) Something is very wrong and I would like opinions . I have several of the criteria for several differnt disorders, and its becoming a challenge. ( I do intend to see a professional soon) These are the conditions I suspect and I am listing the criteria I have underneath.. any thoughts are appriciated.
Bipolar Disorder ( or some other type mood disorder)
I cant make up my mind. I make impulsive decisions and go back and forth about life altering things like if I really want to marry my fiancee.. I ahve gone back and forth at least 20 times. During this time I feel Flat... not really ever depressed.. I sleep fine all the time, and Im not really reckless.
Then, I switch to feeling on top of the world.. ten feet tall as if I could do anything.. sleeping pattern is still normal.. But its almost eurphoric, as if Im high on life. I want to initiate converations with people, I try to interact ( I normally do NOT do this due to anxiety, and people view me as cold and distant)
Narcisstic personality disorder:
I think I can do anything, I think I am very pretty, ( I actually got upset when someone rated my online profile pic as a 7 out of 10)
I think I am smarter than most everyone, I argue with my fiancee about legal issues , and he is an attorney lol and as I write this I keep thinking , I WANT to type " but I AM smarter and prettier and more capable than most" so I am justified in feeling that way... This is NOT something I am open with anyone about, It is jsut thoughts I keep to myself. I feel that I could do anything better than anyone else, if I tried.
Where does one cross a line from being confident to narcisstic? could it also just be feelings of grandiosity?
Also have a few anti social traits:
Lack of empathy, manipulative, lie alot (mostly exaggerations of my accomplishments for attention) when I hurt someone it doesnt bother me much at all.. I do feel guilt , but nothing that would stop me if it was beneficial for me, and I could do it without getting into trouble. I somehow feel that I am entitled.
Please dont bash me ... I just need some help.
