Self love and self confidence is must for everyone but narcissism is bad it will not allow us to appreciate others achievements and also not allow to accept our own faults or mistakes.

Hi sheero!

Sometimes self confidence is being mistaken as narcissism and people who have a greater level of self confidence end up being narcissists but it can also be defined as when a person is too much admiring something it could end up being narcissist

Thank you for sharing your view Shivani. I agree with you, too much of anything is good for nothing.We should have self confidence but no overconfidence which makes us a narcissist.

Hi Moana,

As Helana said when self-confidence become overconfidence, self-love become narcissism
