Sam Vankin (the guy in the video) has wrote very detailed analysis of narcissistic experiences which are amazing reads and really help nail points down that one may have been wondering for a long time.
A self-aware narcissist is the first step forward in trying to make sure you don't hurt those around you. Most narcissists are intelligent and will be able to look at the "disorder" with an open mine. You start to truly reveal to yourself and understand your flaws and your strengths, and starts you on a journey of some soul-searching.

I think like any mental health disorder, some Narcissists are aware and some aren't. I am self-aware. So what?
I don't even understand why this whole debate is such a hot topic for "nons", seems misguided. Why waste your time debating whether or not your spouse/parent/whoever is aware of how much of a jerk they are to you and start thinking about what to do to protect yourself from someone who's clearly toxic to you?
