"Narcissism has been long been associated with the notion of entitlement, which typically suggests a lack of empathy, a feeling of superiority and a tendency to overreact to criticism. "

From an article where a mother is reflecting on why her own children will have nothing to do with her now.

Conclusion - parents/current culture led to the raising of Narcissists.

What is the opposite of Narcissist?
 
What's the opposite?

A devout Christian.

Seriously. Think about that.

Not self seeking, not a boaster in themselves, somebody who isn't walking around saying how great they are, one who doesn't rejoice in wrongs but rejoices in the truth, is giving of what they have to help others in need (not want)...
 
"What is the opposite of Narcissistic?"

Antonyms: humble, modest, altruistic, magnanimous, selfless.

Narcissism basically defined;
If your search for perfection requires the use of a mirror.....you're a narcissist.

If you spell "perfection" as... p-u-r-f-e-k-s-h-i-n .....you're either a redneck, or a recent university graduate?

I'm not surprised at all by the survey. Dyjital appears to be correct, Christians (Utah) tend to be less narcissistic.
