It’s the difference between a covert narcissism that has so effectively camouflaged itself that one might not even be conscious of their own condition vs. an overt form that has become so effectively accepted into one’s psyche that whatever innate personality that may have been there before succumbing will have ended up so minimized or sidelined that it may never be able to exert any effect on one’s words/actions/ideas ever again, and the result is the more uniform/typical set of behaviors/actions, thought patterns/perspectives, and/or language that they employ to describe their experiences/beliefs.
Similar in the narcissism aspect but very different manifestations (My current interpretation)
