what’s the difference of behaviors between a person with npd and just an asshole? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

That's definitely not true. Narcissism is a personality disorder like any other. If it's worked on and treated it can be fine.

There are no mental disorders that inherently make someone a bad person.
