The quick answer is "Yes." But generally, Narcissism is exactly what you are describing: the narcissist is not secure so he or she must overcompensate so as to attempt to prevent others from questioning these shortcomings. The narcissist is unsure of his or her worth, so must work to prove to others that he or she is a person of value.
