At first glance, it seems that any overly confident person is a narcissist.
However, in reality this is not the case, and one should not confuse healthy egoism with narcissism.
The first thing to note in order to learn how to differentiate between these concepts is that narcissism is a personality disorder.
Whereas healthy egoism is inherent in all people who have respect for themselves and their interests.
Egoists know their desires, while narcissists only want attention
People with narcissistic personality disorder mostly act only to gain admiration from others.
People with healthy self-esteem have a good understanding of what they really want and how to get it.
Egoists can fall in love, but narcissists cannot.
People with a deviant narcissistic mindset do not care about their other half, because for them it is just a function.
Egoists are capable of compromising or helping their lover.
Egoists are successful in any environment, while narcissists depend on people
People with healthy self-esteem do not need to constantly assert themselves through the attention of others. Therefore, solitary work will suit them.
Narcissists, in turn, always need an audience and spectators to receive emotional nourishment.
