How often in life do you realize that you need to make a big change in the way that you have been doing things? Do you realize that you need to make a drastic change to yourself and your worldview? These moments don’t come along every day, and they can be frightening in many ways.
As we grow up into adulthood, we get entrenched in our beliefs and our way of interacting with others and the world. We form habits, for good or for ill, that determine a lot of our behavior.
This weekend, I got an email from someone who read my book, A Narcissist Destroyed my Life: How do I Rebuild?
I have gotten emails from readers before, but this one was surprisingly different. This email was from someone who realized they may be a narcissist, wanting to change.
This was heartening to me, and a bit surprising, as rarely do narcissists want to change.
Wanting to change is the first step towards effecting change in our lives. The more we want to change, and seek out proper assistance, the more likely we are going to be able to make a change that will stick in the long run.
If you know someone who is a narcissist and wants to change, or are yourself, you can check out my new blog post:
I just realized I’m a Narcissist, what do I do?
For anyone else who has been raised by narcissists or in a relationship with one, this is to let you know there is hope. A narcissist can change if they really want to get help. Empathy can be learned. There is a hope that someone can get better, but only if they really want to.
So take heart. Even a narcissist can want to change and get better!
Hope you all have a great week, and if you have any questions, feel free to message me!
Thank you,
