In one section, it is stated that people high in narcissism have high self-esteem, have positive self-perception and are relatively worry- and gloom-free. In another section, it states that people high in narcissism have fragile self-esteem, are easily threatened, and are more likely to interpret the behavior of others as abusive and threatening.

Clarification or further explanation is necessary. Relying on individuals high in narcissism to self-report can be extemely problematic and likely accounts for many contradictions regarding this topic. Acknowledgement of this would a helpful addition to the article. Studies now suggest there is a pervasive lack of self esteem in these personalities, as well as a very negative self-perception that many of them intentionally work to conceal.
