You might be wrong on that one there, Jeh, people with NPD are very....very self aware of their shortcomings and limitations - sometimes they're even hypercritical. This is what leads them to project a false self in the first place, and the maintenance of that false self and the fragility of their contact starved true self is what leads to sociopathy.......or so the theory goes. The narcissism, in npd, refers to their love of that image - not their love of self. They'll protect the image to their own (and others) detriment...which is how it manifests as a disorder. Deep rooted feelings of worthlessness and depression in addition to substance abuse are par for the course with individuals who receive the diagnosis. People don;t generally self medicate because they think everything is just peachy.
People routinely confuse being an asshole with narcissism, and run of the mill narcissism with the disorder on the spectrum of sociopathy. I suppose it's an honest mistake, I imagine it's difficult to distinguish between them alot of the time.
