Narcissism is not an easy personality trait to deal with. Especially if you don't know what to look out for, or if you don't understand why the narcissist is acting the way they do. Many people who are initially dismissed as "selfish" actually turn out to be narcissists. These are people who typically focus too much (or in some cases - entirely) on themselves because they believe they are superior to others.
