Narcissists appear happy to call others narcissists, whilst not recognising their own narcissistic behaviours... Such is life, and life is not without its little ironies.
IMHE - One can be free from suffering, without being narcissistic because past suffering remains in the present as a necessary reminder that suffering is unnecessary. This is not perfectionism, as is found in narcissistic thinking, but realism based on hard shadow work and the process of recovery.
"Suffering is necessary until you realise it is unnecessary."
- Eckhart Tolle
