Inevitably, when you have ongoing interactions with a narcissist, you learn that these individuals do not operate with positive intentions toward you.  So should you fear the narcissist?  Dr. Les Carter answers, yes and no.  You should have a healthy fear that prompts you to use realistic care and caution.  But, then he explains that they too harbor much fear, and it comes from an underdeveloped sense of Self.  That being the case, you need not fear their attitudes and pronouncements about your character.  Balance is key.
