Narcissism is, apparently, the next big thing.
The word is being bandied about frequently at the moment to describe a certain personality. Boris Johnson is an obvious example. Perceived as an arrogant, pushy womaniser, he often attracts the tag. But is he a narcissist?
He might be – he certainly appears to have the characteristic inner well of neediness. But a true narcissist is much more than someone who simply seems full of him- or herself.
Everyone has a streak of narcissism. We need self-interest and self-confidence
