I haven't misunderstood anything. We are talking about narcissistic personality styles. They don't change. Yes, healthier adults have some flexibility, and can grow with experience. Narcissistic personalities are rigid. They can't self reflect. Whether you call it relative stability or stasis doesn't matter in the context of thia discussion. A narcissistic person is not going to have a watershed moment in response to a life crisis and all of a sudden decide to take accountability for their bad behaviour. They will continue to falsely identify other people as the problem, because it conflicts with their false sense of self and grandiosity.
