Narcisissim is solipsism without an escape hatch.

If an infant is on fire and runs screaming through the room, a solipsist may put down his book and help. A narcissist cannot.

Unless the narcissist digs himself as a hero. Then he may ostentatiously (and incompetently) save the child and take all the attention. Oh, poor thing burned his hands when the rug he was beating the infant with caught fire.
