While the unrealistic goals can lead to setbacks, they can also be a good thing. Realising that everything we set out to do is likely to be impossible allows us to prepare a safety net, but ambition does lead to abnormal development, and considering ourselves to be one of a kind, the best at everything, and so on, certainly doesn't hurt our progess, as long as we keep a healthy sense of self-irony.

Having dealt with a rather narcissistic husband, I honestly don't believe that they think some things they set out to do are impossible. If they are unsuccessful, it's not their fault. It's the fault of everyone around them for not being supportive enough.

Yes, I've been affected by narcissism and there's no freakin' way I'm going to support the behavior and say it's acceptable, because it's not.
