[QUOTE=ValentinaVVV;4746077]Interesting article, thanks for posting that. I think that some level of narcissism is just a part of basic human survival instinct, if you never think of yourself then you're going to end up dead before your time. It's really that simple, some level of narcissism is just necessary and it doesn't mean it's at all pathological. I've met people with a hefty dose of what I would call "healthy narcissism", the difference between them and those I've met with NPD is night and day.
