The Narcissist in Your Life: 5 Steps to Identifying and Healing Yourself from Toxic and Narcissistic Relationships (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781073696383)

High self-esteem is a precious trait; however, some people take it a bit too far.

Growing up, we've all been encouraged to believe in ourselves. Our parents would tell us that we're special, unique and that we can beat anyone at anything. It's all done with good intentions to build our self-confidence. Having healthy self-esteem is what powers us to take risks and weather the challenges we face in life.

The problem occurs when that healthy self-confidence gets warped and distorted into something extreme; Narcissism.

Explained briefly, narcissism is when someone admires themselves to the point that they don't care about anyone else. They always need to be the center of attention. This is based on the belief that they are better than everyone else they know and as such deserve constant praise or acknowledgment.

In the narcissist's mind, he isn't the greatest thing since sliced bread; he is the sliced bread.

Such an exaggerated sense of self-worth has a detrimental impact on the people around them. It results in emotional abuse and daily degradation of the other person's self-esteem.
