The Benefits of Healthy Narcissism: What Experts Say.

Experts say that there is a form of narcissism that is actually beneficial to your day-to-day life, known as "healthy narcissism." Healthy narcissism occurs when you’re on the middle of the spectrum, enough to get us to accomplish our goals, but not so much that we trample over others and become rigidly self-focused. Signs of healthy narcissism include being able to be alone, regulating self-esteem, coping when you don't get your way, not needing to be admired, self-caring, truly experiencing your feelings, being goal-oriented, and knowing you deserve respect and that others do, too.
