An important distinction to make is that the word "narcissist" is used here as an abbreviation of the pathology called "narcissist personality disorder". The word is sometimes applied in common talk to anyone considered "vain" or "too obsessed with oneself". But there is a certain amount of narcissism that every normal human being has, and it's a healthy, necessary trait. It is only when it becomes dysfunctional and damaging to others that it turns problematic.

Another common misconception is that many victims of narcissists, due to the manipulation techniques they are under (projection, gaslighting, devaluation, guilt tripping...), often tend to wonder if it might be that they are the narcissists themselves. A general rule of thumb is that if you're concerned that you could be a narcissist, then you're not, as narcissists are by definition incapable of any self reflection or self criticism.
