Narcissim Vs Egoism

I have always been wondering about how and when to use the two commonly confused terms - Narcissim and egoism. Are these two words being used interchangeably ? The answer is a bit cynical and confusing. Literally, both almost have the same meanings while narcissim is a broader term which includes self-proclamation, bragging and exagggeration of one's achievements and many more. Egoism on the other hand is more of being self-centered. Over the ages, Philosophers and Pshycologists have been studying  these various facets of human emotions and have been proposing theories. I don't want to dig deep into theoritical aspects of these two terms and rather looking forward to discover and study them within my favourite Homo sapiens.
