Can you have too much self-esteem?

Of course. When you have too much self esteem you are a narcissist. When it has progressed to an inflated sense of your own importance and a deep need for admiration, a convistion that you are superior to others and have little regard for other people's feelings then you may have narcissistic personality disorder.Of course.

If one is horrified because he just realized he was a narcissist does this contradict his own verdict of being a narcissist?

If one has narcissistic tendencies and characteristics then later in life when those are totally entrenched in one's character, even with self knowledge, my psychiatrist informs me that it is impossible to change them. She says that one has to learn strategies to deal with them. Surely, if one of the characteristics of a narcissist is to have a 'false self' then one is only creating a further 'false self' albeit with hindsight and awareness. Awareness of narcissistic characteristics is terrifying, and confusing, and I would question anyone that has not queried their own motives, or realised that they behave differently from others, at some point in their lives. Sometimes I feel that self knowledge is not always a good thing.


Does self-esteem affect how you deal with conflict?

It can, definitely. Someone with low self-esteem might be quicker to dismiss their own ideas and accept someone else's interpretation of a situation, even if it is unfair and to their detriment. Someone with high self-esteem might be more willing to stand up for themselves.

How can one save an inverted narcissist from the wrath of a covert narcissist?

The question is ... why bother trying? People are held responsible for their own actions and I wouldn't touch this one with a 10 foot pole. Don't bother trying because you won't get through to either of them. Sorry Marcy

What is a benign narcissist?

A benign narcissist is someone who achieves their self-serving goals in ways that don't damage other people. They don't typically try to use, exploit or control those around them for their own ends. A typical narcissist, however, works from the mindset of: "I win, and I don't care if you lose," or, "Your loss is my win." Everything with a typical narcissist is a zero sum game and they are impossible to have long term relationships with because they exploit the insecurities of others around them to feed their own egos.
