Can you like yourself too much?

While most people struggle with even having enough self-esteem, there are some people out there who actually have too much of it. It may seem hard to believe that it's even possible to like yourself too much, but it is. Appreciating your own good qualities and self-worth is one thing, but thinking that you're absolutely "perfect" is something else altogether. Too much self-esteem can lead to negative traits such as self-tolerance, entitlement, victimhood and narcissism -- and the attitude that others are simply there to give.

According to the article on eDiets healthy self-esteem comes not from loving yourself, but from genuinely loving others. Do you agree?
