The trouble with narcissists

One problem with narcissists is that they almost always wind up failing rather miserably.

But if you found yourself bothered by a person always talking about how wonderful they are, remember that their future may not be bright.

'In the long-term, what tends to happen is that narcissistic people mess up their relationships, at home and at work,' Twenge said. Though narcissists may be charming at first, their selfish actions eventually damage relationships.

It's not until middle-age they may realize their lives have had a number of failed relationships. 

And even if they recognize something is wrong they may have a hard time changing.
'It's a personality trait,' says Twenge. 'It's by definition very difficult to change. It's rooted in genetics and early environment and culture and things that aren't all that malleable.'

And the other problem is that there are more narcissists than ever, and we are creating them on purpose: Study shows college students think they're more special than ever...even those that can't read or write and barely study
