perhaps get some therapy to learn how to manage their actions, maybe...just maybe there is hope.

 

 

The problem with these types of folks is that they very rarely end up sat in front of a therapist because inevitably at some point in therapy a person has to be able to see that they themselves have some negative traits, things to work on and are entirely responsible for their own life. Narcissists have a retardation of responsibility and accountability; they will deflect or deny even in instances of very overt abuse like violence. I would not be opposed to the DSM reclassifying Narcissism as a developmental disorder since their sense of responsibility, empathy and emotional intelligence are all retarded but obviously I know that would be considered by many quite a controversial opinion.

That's a very good point, Ethel! I agree with you completely. 

 

It's sad to see today's society rampant in it. I guess a lot of it is learned through social media too.

I feel for the younger generations.
