Is egotism really so bad?
There's also very often a double standard, particularly with narcissists. Those who adhere to any form of ideological egoism need to live up to what they preach themselves, which includes not expecting or asking others to take into consideration or respect their own needs, show understanding or make any kind of accommodations for their disabilities, difficulties, mistakes etc.
I only noticed one person here on the forum who shows consistency in this way.

Can't help but wonder who...I find some people use humility to actually avoid confronting their own egoism. To feel morally superior to others. This is also toxic.
Confronting the truth about oneself is never easy.
