It comes across as one of those statements that say “people don’t change”. I say bull.
I too, don't believe that people cannot change. Unfortunately, it looks like with NPD- the chance for change is extremely low for some reason. I don't know. Most IC's won't even treat it...and treatment is usually aimed at educating family and friends in dealing with the NPD individual.
Perhaps it is the absence of empathy. Even though they know the harm they cause by their behavior...they really don't feel badly about it. They know they should feel bad- but they really don't FEEL it.
But I am typically in agreement with you Eric.....for NPD- I am just basing this statement on everything that I read but don't have many real life experiences to back it up.
