Most professionals agree that narcissists can\\u2019t change.\\xa0

\\xa0I don\\u2019t believe that\\u2019s true. I believe narcissists can change.

\\xa0Today, I want to share with you why I disagree, the three caveats of narcissism, and the guidelines that will help you determine if your narcissist is redeemable.\\xa0

\\xa0This isn\\u2019t based upon statistical information or popular psychology, but rather my own opinion and experience.\\xa0

\\xa0I\\u2019ve seen a lot of narcissists in my day.\\xa0

\\xa0I\\u2019ve experienced first-hand personally and professionally the damage that a narcissist can do to your physical, emotional, mental, and even your spiritual health. In many cases, there can be lifelong side effects.\\xa0

\\xa0For me to make such a bold contradictory statement, let me break down, informal levels of narcissists, and help you determine if your narcissist is redeemable, or beyond hope.

3 (Informal) Types of Narcissists: Ignorant, Arrogant, and Malignant

\\xa0

The ignorant narcissist is typically unaware of their destructive behaviors. They are likely emotionally immature and have not been taught properly.\\xa0

\\xa0

This doesn\\u2019t excuse their behavior, but there\\u2019s some hope here, with a big \\u2018if\\u2019 attached (and we\\u2019ll get to the if in a moment.) Think of these ignorant narcissists as children.\\xa0

\\xa0

The arrogant is another level up. This narcissist recognizes their wrongdoing, yet continues to make decisions that only work in their favor.\\xa0

\\xa0

Arrogant isn\\u2019t limited to the overt narcissist. Arrogant simply describes the lack of care that a person has regarding their actions.\\xa0

\\xa0

This narcissist likely knows exactly what they\\u2019re doing and doesn\\u2019t care unless it impacts them.\\xa0 More on that in a moment.

\\xa0

The malignant narcissist is the most troublesome of all. This narcissist is solidified in their beliefs that life is all about them and they will trample anyone in their way and they don\\u2019t care who it impacts. These people are highly abusive and derive pleasure from hurting others.\\xa0

They will stop at nothing to lie and manipulate to get what they want.\\xa0

\\xa0

While many people in narcissistic relationships jump to the assumption that their narcissist is malignant, please understand that this is a very, very small percentage of the narcissists out there.

\\xa0

Now that we\\u2019ve broken the levels of narcissism down, let\\u2019s look at how likely your narcissist is to change.

\\xa0

There\\u2019s hope IF\\u2026

\\xb7\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 Their life is impacted in a negative way.\\xa0

\\xb7\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 There\\u2019s a risk that they\\u2019ll lose something that\\u2019s important to them. For example, your love, time, affection, money, companionship, etc.\\xa0

\\xb7\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 They are an ignorant or arrogant narcissist.\\xa0

\\xa0

Remember, narcisissts are very self-centered individuals. They only care what\\u2019s in it for them.\\xa0

This is where your boundaries can prove helpful.

\\xa0

They will often fall in line, albeit reluctantly, if there is a great risk of loss for them.\\xa0
