Did you know that narcissists share the same brain abnormalities as psychopaths regarding their inability to feel remorse or compassion?
Narcissists are also a close second to psychopaths on The Dark Triad.
When we first started learning about narcissism, most of the material we encountered was clear about how dangerous narcissists are and how detrimental it is to be in relationships with them.
But now, much of the material about narcissism is leaning more towards the “self-aware” narcissist or the “vulnerable” narcissist, comparing narcissists to their targets, comparing their inner wounds, and claiming that there are ways to make things work with a narcissistic individual.
But, toxic relationships don’t suddenly become healthy. People aren’t coming forward with the success story of the decade because the narcissist they know has suddenly had The Divine Epiphany and is deeply remorseful about their wicked ways.
If narcissists are truly evolving and becoming ‘self-aware’, why aren’t we seeing any real-life examples of improved behaviors and relationships?
If psychopaths cannot be rehabilitated due to their brain abnormalities, it only makes sense that narcissists cannot be rehabilitated, either.
You can read all day about how narcissists are improving with therapy or some other modality, but the neuroscience cannot be denied.
Narcissists cannot learn or develop empathy. Just like psychopaths, all they can do is pretend.
