There’s a lot of talk about narcissism in the world today. Some people think narcissism is a bad thing, while others see it as a sign of self-confidence and strength.

So, what’s the truth? Are narcissists evil, selfish people who only care about themselves? Or are they just misunderstood? In this blog post, I will bust 8 common myths about narcissism and provide you with the facts!

1. Myth: Narcissists are evil, selfish people who only care about themselves.

Fact: While narcissists may have some selfish tendencies, they are not inherently evil or bad people. In fact, many narcissists are actually quite charming and charismatic. They may be intensely self-focused, but that doesn’t mean they don’t care about others.

2. Myth: Narcissists are always in need of attention and admiration.

Fact: While narcissists often enjoy getting attention and admiration, this is not always the case. Some narcissists may actually avoid being the center of attention, preferring to stay in the background.
