    1. Interesting question and point, John. I go into this a bit in my book Character Disturbance. Some see all the aggressive personalities as a variant of the narcissistic type and one major theorists puts both narcissists and all the various aggressive types in the unhealthily “independent” category i.e. folks who didn’t develop a healthy balance between their need and regard for others and their concern and advocacy for themselves.
