There's clearly a differentiation between a narcissist in someone who is narcissistic. A narcissist is the embodiment of A dysfunctional egotistic being. It can often be misconstrued as someone who appears to be narcissistic. The one who appears to be narcissistic is someone who carries the trait of narcissism. The fine line between the two is the opportunist which is the one that is operating from a narcissistic standpoint. The other one is the embodiment of a disorderly lifestyle which is the viewpoint of a narcissist. My goal is to articulate the difference between the two in order to spread awareness of narcissism rather than the confusion that most have displayed throughout social media.
