writes:I like this girl but I think she is very narcissistic. She expects people to do things for her and often they do because of her looks. She is not very empathetic and gets upset when people criticize her or if they have problems with anything she does. A friend of mine said he studied this is college and he believes that a narcissist is somebody who has been deprived of real love and so loves themselves because they do not trust others to love them. I am wondering if I love this narcissistic woman if she will change. Do you think love can change her or will she always be a narcissist? Reply to this Question

Rather they come from all walks of life and there is little evidence that their upbringing affects them. Physically attractive narcissist's stand out because people focus on their looks, but check in on any given day on a Jerry Springer show and you will see full narcissism in full bloom with little in the looks department to shore up their attention seeking behavior.
Elements of a narcissists personality first become evident at a very early age, due to biological or genetic factors. By the time that a person hits their late teens, the disorder is almost certainly permanent.
Narcissist's have only a shallow range of emotions and lack guilt. They often see themselves as victims, and lack remorse or the ability to empathize with others. Narcissist's play on the fact that most of us are trusting and forgiving people and the warning signs are always there; it’s just difficult to see them because once we trust someone, the friendship becomes a blinder.
One thing is certain. They will never change and they don't get better with age.
