"Narcissism Declines with Age but Never Fully Disappears, Study Finds"

New research shows that while narcissistic individuals develop greater compassion with age, they never fully lose their inflated sense of self-importance. A study of over 37,000 people indicates that narcissism is a stable personality trait, with those who were more narcissistic as children remaining so into adulthood, despite some mitigation of traits over time. Understanding how narcissists mature is crucial for developing interventions to reduce their potential for harm.
