True, but I've known a couple narcissists personally, and it always looked to me like this is where it starts, i.e. that everything else springboards off of this.
The two narcissists I know are actually very smart intellectually, but that causes them to think they're smarter than everyone else about everything, and about a lot of things neither is as smart as they think they are. One of them is one of my sisters, and I've excluded her from my life because I don't want to deal with the drama and conflict she generates.
