I don't think I'm a narcissistic, but I'm an aspie and there seem to be some overlapping traits.
I have a lot of trouble with cognitive and affective empathy, meaning I do not understand or relate to people.
Unlike a narcissist, I am not intentionally mean but sometimes I am because I do not understand why people get upset over things.
I do have a low tolerance for peoples sensitivities because people get upset so easily and it tends to irritate me. I have been trying to be more respectful of other peoples emotional weaknesses, even though it is very difficult for me to tolerate.
I also don't like people who don't show me respect, but I think that's pretty normal for anybody.
By the way you don't sound like somebody with clinical narcissism from your description. Most clinical narcissists are either psychopaths or very insecure people which are very different causes for arrogant self centered behavior.
Do you have narcissistic tendencies? If so, what are they?
