\nToday, in the search bar, I began with the word “can.” Just from that, the first recommended search was “can a narcissist ever change?” As I pondered that result, three notions took me:<\/p>\n
\nOf all the answers people could be seeking, the fact that “can a narcissist ever change?” is so prominent surprises me because it’s not an answer you can count on in your case. Even if a narcissist could change, the one you know may not.\n<\/p>\n
The humour comes from the idea that, apparently, so many people feel they are coping with narcissists. I don’t know many people, but over the years have known quite a few; of those, I’d say very few were narcissists. Have people been hiding their narcissism from me? If so, that’s disappointing.<\/p>\n
I’m reassured that people still ask “old” questions. The challenge of coping with narcissism is age-old, and in a way I’m glad it’s not going away. During my life, I’ve seen much change, including much for the better. However, I’m not anxious to see more, at this point.<\/p>\n
\nBTW: I’d say that a narcissist can<\/em> change, but few ever do. Moreover, if they do, it’s likely gradual, so of little help to someone who needs change now. Such is my experience, anyway.<\/p>\n Best of luck going forward:)<\/p>\nJack of Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Self-tutoring about psychology: the tutor wades into a subject of great interest.
