It depends why they worry about being narcissistic.
If people worry that their self-absorption will have a negative impact on themselves, that's narcissistic.
If they worry that their self-absorption will have a negative impact on other people, then it's not.

I do feel like my self absorption is ruining my life and so I care about its impact on myself... but I also tell myself I care about other people and that I'm empathetic and don't want to hurt them but I'm worried that is just masking the worry that they will leave Me and I'll be alone forever :/
