Am I a narcissist or just schizoid? Can narcissists get to be better people?

...See more hello! i will give a brief introduction of myself and explain the issue. my dad was diagnosed with schizophrenia, but he could possibly be schizoid or narcissist, I'm not sure. the town where he lives has poor psychiatry support. i inherited his illness and also have a narcissistic mother (i think she is narcissistic because she wants people to pity her and she deprived my sister and i from privacy in our childhood, and was overprotective. ) i see a therapist since i was 7 and had many diagnoses before. I'm loving in a bigger city now with my girlfriend and my current psychiatrist diagnosed me as schizoid. i never told him before how jealous i am of my colleagues who get promotions or attention at work though. i never told him how i get resentful for not getting attention and how i make everything about me. i do things in order to get things back as a reward and i constantly seek approval. is this narcissistic personality disorder? am i "just" schizoid? are schizoids narcissistic? am i a bad person? do i ever do something without second intentions? can I be a honest person? am i acting all the time? do narcissistic people get better from narcissism with treatment? i feel like I'm wrong. i wish I was good or that i could get to be good one day. thank you for reading
