Every narcissist is an asshole, but not every asshole is a narcissist

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.

That's a fair and valid point

My asshole is definitely not a narcissist.
