Jax Taylor is all about discussing his mental health these days and now, he’s come to terms with the fact he’s a “narcissist.” He started a 30-day stay in a mental health facility in July. While there, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Now, The Valley star is sharing what he’s learned about himself with listeners. In addition, Jax has been self-diagnosing some of his problematic tendencies. He shared his findings with listeners during a recent episode of his podcast.

Jax had to “humble” himself in order to dig deeper and realize he was a “narcissist”

According to comments made during his When Reality Hits podcast, Jax revealed that he had “no idea” he was a “narcissist.”

During a Q&A with listeners, Jax replied in the affirmative when asked whether he considered himself a “narcissist.”

Jax claimed to have “learned probably five new terms” regarding personality disorders that he’s “never heard” of before. “I’ve done them all for years and I had no idea,” he shared.

“I am a narcissist, yes,” the Bravolebrity continued. “I breadcrumb, I love bomb [and also] gaslighting. I’m missing some but I do all these things. I had no idea there were terms for these things.”

Jax started to “look up the definition” for certain words in the psycholocial vernacular. He found several that he feels describe him perfectly.

“So yes, I have to humble myself and say, ‘Do you think you’re a narcissist?’ And I do,” he explained. “I don’t know how I became one. [But] I do believe I’m a narcissist.”

The Vanderpump Rules alum acknowledged that these statements are only his musings, and he hasn’t been diagnosed by a medical professional.

“I am not a doctor, so I can’t say that for sure,” Jax said. “But by just looking up the definition, I have to agree.”

He continued, “And I’ve been this person for years and I had no idea. I was never held accountable for my actions for many, many years until recently — until people have had enough.”

His estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright, filed for divorce in August. Jax speculated that she became “tired of walking on eggshells.”

The reality TV star admitted that he took Brittany “for granted.” She was pushing him to seek help for is anger issues for years, and Jax told listeners he was “sad” it took him “this long.”

“Brittany has been asking me to do something like this for a very long time and I just come from a background where we just really don’t ask for help,” Jax shared.

Most importantly, Jax is “hoping” to better himself for his three-year-old son Cruz. He wants to “break that cycle” when it comes to parenting. However, Brittany doesn’t want to share custody.

“If he needs help, he can ask,” the Bravolebrity said of his son.
