I went to my therapist once and said "I have terrible news, according to this book on narcissism, 8 of the 13 symptoms apply. I'm totally one. How can I fix it? Is it fixable?"
And she smiled and said..."a real narcissist would never ask that."
- variable11 7y agoYeah, but it's not a binary thing, it's a continuum. It's perfectly possible for someone like you, the OP, myself, others reading this to have strong narcissistic tendencies but to be self-aware enough to want to change and not be a complete malignant narcissist, the kind who destroy lives and end up on true crime podcasts.
