I love myself, says the narcissist. He looks at himself in the mirror and affirms: I love myself. I love myself.
Self-help books and internet gurus teach the importance of loving oneself. You must not question yourself, you must not criticize yourself. No matter what you have done, you must love yourself. You must believe in yourself. You must trust yourself. You must have self-confidence and self-esteem. You must love yourself.
