19:20Now PlayingLife transforming insight requires the involvement of cognitions, emotions, motivations, and actions. The more intelligent the person is, the smoother and more integrated the person is.
The problem with narcissists is that they are cathected (emotionally invested) in their disorder and are motivated to perpetuate it. This cathexis precludes any other dynamic.
Narcissists are also denied access to positive emotions and this impairs their reality testing and ability to decode environmental cues.
Consequently, disabled yet delusional they are, narcissists are loth to exit their comfort zone. They are hurt-averse and control freaks. Their grandiosity and perfectionism (performance anxiety and fear of failure) obstruct any benefits which may be conferred by insight even when self-awareness and introspection are intact.
