self-love

self-love

regard for one's own well-being and happiness (chiefly considered as a desirable rather than narcissistic characteristic)

Anytime labels are created, it signifies pathology or out of the norm or mean. Self love is self love, not narcissism. When you love yourself here in narcissism, it is not healthy love, it is covering over insecurities by being more perfect than anyone else, and highlighting that pathologically.

Segue: Everyone is depressed at times but not pathologically depressed, no label here to apply.
