Yes, I made a blanket statement that is inaccurate regarding personalities in general. So your point is correct. But I don't really care if healthy personalities change much. I get along with them fine. I was thinking of the NPD (undiagnosed but obvious over 35 years of observation) person and the BPD person (formally diagnosed) I've known. I really don't believe NPD people improve their condition. The changes always revert to the normal. I just don't want people to believe in a false hope that these people actually change. And no, no one can facilitate that change except a therapist specialising in those conditions. And the improvements are marginal, if they occur at all (most of them just blame others, reject a diagnosis and find new narcissistic supply). Most therapists would suggest disengaging with them. If you beat your head against that wall, you will lose your sense of self and waste years.
