Let me give you a tip to help in distinuishing people with a good self esteem from a narcissist: people with a high self-esteem don't need to talk about themselves; rather, they'll show interest in you and will try and be helpful in order to create a relationship.
Narcissists, on the opposite, are mainly focused on themselves and will try to impress you, in the attempt to gain both your admiration and your compassion; if they don't get any of these, they'll become frustrated quite quickly and might react in a sarcastic, rough, or aggressive way.
Narcisissists often end up attracting mainly people whose self-esteem is quite low, or people who experience feelings of guilt, creating a co-dependent relationship.
Instead, when self-esteem is adequate, who enounters a narcissist can spot very early in a relationship that personal feelings are dismissed and emotional needs are not being met, despite all the fascination and charisma that a narcissist might trigger.
