I used to accept myself, but it wasn't enough for others. They found fault with my flaws and pointed them out, now I doubt myself because of it, and have insecurities.
You can love and accept yourself, but sometimes it's not good enough for others. If they find fault with you, they find fault with you, no matter how you see yourself.

If you can't accept your flaws you can't expect other people to accept them. As long as your self worth is dependent on others approval, you will be trapped.
Easier said then done, I know...
As for the post on narcissists not being insecure and actually being psychopaths, this is not at all true, by the version of narcissism I use it by the dsm version. Of course there are narcissists who do terrible things... But this notion of narcissism is completely false.
