Are STS individuals narcissists?

[Anders]

I guess service-to-self is similar to narcissism. But there can be degrees of STS as I see it. If I have a very narrow sense of self, then that's more similar to narcissism than if I have a more inclusive sense of self that at least includes some other people and groups.

Also, there can be narcissists with a very polished facade of acting service-to-others. One approach is to start from STS and then expand the inclusion of others as the self. Then there is less risk of developing a fake facade of altruism. And when everybody is included as the Self, then it becomes service-to-others!
