Why Narcissists Can't Pull Out of Their Narcissism

Narcissists struggle to disengage from their narcissistic behaviors due to their low self-awareness. Their inability to see their faults or receive constructive feedback stems from a victim mentality, attributing problems to external factors. This shields them from introspection and fosters a belief that the world mistreats them. They interpret criticism as an attack, demonstrating adversarial thinking and an aversion to uncertainty.
