Are people born or made narcissistic? Is it generic? How can it be overcome?
In: Biology
Licensed counselor. Personality disorders tend to be a little more made (nurture) than born (nurture). I specialize in personality disorders and have experience with treating narcissism (clinical, diagnosable). One of the shortcuts to getting some healing and movement for this disorder is to scrap your idea of why you want that person to change. They’re not going to be motivated in the same way you are… that doesn’t mean they cannot be motivated to be pro social or adapt to a relationship or be kind. It functions more as a maintenance issue than a cure, also. It is workable and likely will remain something to monitor and work on throughout their lives, like a chronic biomedical condition.
