The Question:
Do people have a choice not to head towards narcissism? Can they choose to handle things differently before they become a full-blown narcissist, or are they just destined to be that way?
The Answer:
Yes, they do have a choice—but it's important to emphasize how incredibly hard that choice is.
Narcissists can choose to change, but they're often so far behind in their ability to self-assess and be honest with themselves about their motives that introspection feels like speaking a foreign language. Choosing a different path means they have to dismantle a defense mechanism they've relied on for their entire lives.
