As far as I remember, Sam Vaknin is a psychopath himself. Didn't he produce the documentary "I, Psychopath"? So I am skeptic if his description is more about how a narcisst wants to be seen by others or perceives himself rather than what a narcisst actually is.
Sam Vaknin is very unique in that he is a Self-Aware Narcissist which is why he is the worlds leading authority on the subject. He is not a psychopath and only used that term for a short while and now no longer uses it.

I have read his website, it is very interesting and apparently he is in a functional relationship.
