To the logician all things should be seen exactly as they are, and to underestimate one's self is as much a departure from truth as to exaggerate one's own powers." - one of my favorite Sherlock Holmes quotes. <br />The issue with narcissistic personality disorder is that it involves a false perception of the self, so being justifiably confident/arrogant doesn't not make one a narcissist (or as I explain it to people, I'm not a narcissist, I'm merely objective...).<br />Besides that, everybody is selfish (they just don't realize it), it's just the stuff they value that differs (for example, if keeping a certain person as a friend would make them ultimately happier than getting their way in a particular situation, they'll choose that).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210388101857664942noreply@blogger.com
