As someone who has worked as a scrum master, your characterization strikes me as reasonable! And yes, that's something that TLP talks about that didn't make it into my condensation: one reason narcissism is so corrosive is that it can become a self-reinforcing vicious cycle where you don't connect with people because you're too focused on your own identity, then you want to connect but suspect that they're just as fake and insecure as you, so you reject their attempts, which makes you more isolated and focused on your identity, and so on. I think a focus on "but what am I/are they actually doing?" is so important.
