The Myth of Changing a Narcissist: Treating Cruelty With Kindness

It is a painful reality to accept that no amount of kindness or love will change a narcissist’s fundamental nature. While it is natural to hope for transformation, real healing comes from understanding that you deserve healthy, reciprocal relationships.
