Men or women who by chance end up marrying a narcissist cannot expect a long and happy family life.
As in any situation, such people have two options. In this case, it is a divorce, or consolation in the popular truth - "you'll get used to it, you'll fall in love."
Can a narcissist overcome himself, become a normal person and a caring husband or understanding wife? Here's what the experts say.
Who is a narcissist?
This is a person for whom the feeling of his own importance is at the forefront. He does not doubt his own exceptionality and does not think about the opinions of others. That's in short.
Narcissism and Age
Research conducted by foreign scientists shows that narcissists return to normal with age. After all, the wisest King Solomon said: "Everything passes, and this will pass."
By the way, more than fifty scientific papers are devoted to this topic.
An analysis of these studies, coupled with new data, showed that as the years go by, narcissists develop qualities such as responsiveness, empathy, and kindness.
But if you're dealing with a confirmed narcissist who was raised to be a narcissist from an early age, then things are bad.
How about dealing with it yourself?
Scientists have no answer to this question yet.
Most likely, the narcissist needs to start by acknowledging his worst sides.
Things will go faster if people around you intervene. They should stop reacting to the egoist's antics.
And those around you also need to be able to protect personal boundaries when communicating with a narcissist, and then, perhaps, over the years, your chosen one will change for the better.
