You are 100% correct, we ALL are a little bit narcissistic, it comes in our DNA, and is a part of our self-preservation instincts, IMO.
However...
Well, lets just say that the concept of "balance" is lost on many people...

Let's just say I am underwhemed by some on AFF and in life. I do think a little narcissism is healthy but some take it to extremes. Like Mark, I am not naming any names, but THEY know who THEY are!

How disappointing, here I thought it was all about me.
Ironically, the soda holder, that is holding my can of Sierra Mist Free, freely proclaims that "It's All About Me" ! ;)

You can always tell the narcissim of some who post claiming to be Dr's, just to get a little respect they don't deserve.
