Re: Narcissism and low self esteem

Not really. Narcissism is way more than just talking about yourself all the time. A narcissist does have a warped version of self-esteem in that they're obsessed with getting attention, adoration, and praise from others (what's termed "narcissistic supply" or just "supply" for short). And to impress people into giving them the supply they want, they'll talk themselves up to be way more accomplished and famous than they really are.

But on the flip side, narcissists also don't think the standards they judge others by apply to themselves. They'll hypocritically attack people they see as rivals for the very same behavior they engage in (projection). They'll judge other people far more harshly than themselves for the same actions. They view themselves as too special and important to be subject to the same rules as everyone else. They will actively punish friends, lovers, and family members whom they feel aren't giving them enough supply.

True Narcissists -- rather than just insecure people who exhibit a couple narcissistic traits -- really do have an artificially high opinion of themselves, and feel entitled to take whatever they want and crush anybody who gets in the way.

Yeah. There's a huge difference between healthy narcissism -- being proud of your accomplishments and talents -- and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Everyone has engaged in a healthy narcissistic trait or two, and yeah, people who constantly talk about themselves could be doing it as overcompensation. I've known a few.

But having NPD is a whole other ballgame. People with NPD are toxic and abusive because they genuinely believe they're more special than the rest of us, which means they're entitled to treat people like crap and get away with it.
