Studies show that narcissistic people can sometimes be psychologically healthier than other people.
研究显示，自恋的人有时在心理上比其他人更健康。
Five studies, published in 2004 in the journal Personality Processes and Individual Differences, looked at some benefits of narcissism. Hundreds of people participated.
2004年，《性格养成与个性差异》刊登了五项有关自恋益处的研究，有数百人参与其中。
Results showed that narcissists tended to be less depressed, lonely, anxious, and neurotic, and reported greater well-being than people who scored low on narcissism.
结果显示，自恋者往往更不容易抑郁、孤单、焦虑、神经质，他们的幸福感比不自恋的人更强烈。
"High narcissists may be socially callous, but that is no reason for them not to be psychologically healthy. To use a far-fetched metaphor, the mind of a narcissist is like a sports utility vehicle. It is great to be in the driving seat, but fellow motorists must watch out, lest a collision with this mobile fortress demolish their more humble hatchbacks."
“高度自恋的人可能冷酷无情，但是他们不会心理不健康。打个牵强的比喻，自恋者的心理就像是一辆运动型多用途汽车（SUV），坐在驾驶座上的感觉很好。但其他司机必须要小心避免和这座移动堡垒发生碰撞，毁掉自己更加低调的小轿车。”
Being moderately narcissistic seems to protect against social anxiety.

Narcissistic adolescents and young adults tend to be more satisfied with life than their peers.

Being slightly narcissistic is linked to having strong relationships, according to studies.
研究显示，轻度自恋和稳固的感情关系有关。
In "Rethinking Narcissism," Harvard Medical School psychologist Craig Malkin gives a definition of healthy narcissism: being able to move "seamlessly between self-absorption and caring attentiveness."
哈佛大学医学院心理学专家克雷格·马尔金在《反思自恋》一书中给“健康自恋”下了定义：能够在“专注自我和关怀体贴之间无缝切换”。
Malkin and a colleague developed the Narcissistic Spectrum Scale, on which two key indicators of healthy narcissism are responding "no" to the statements, "I like to dream big, but not at the expense of my relationships" and "I can rein myself in when people tell me I'm getting a big head."
他和一名同事研发了“自恋指数谱”，其中“健康自恋”的两个关键标志就是“两个不”：“我喜欢远大的梦想，但不会以我的感情关系为代价”、“当别人说我自以为是时，我可以控制自己”。
If you do score high on healthy narcissism, Malkin writes, you're likely to have an easy time giving and receiving emotional support, and to enjoy closeness and emotional intimacy.
马尔金写道，如果你的“健康自恋”得分很高，那么你可能很容易给予或获得情感支持，并且享受亲密关系。
