 @GingeRenee Honestly, I don't know, but faith compels me to believe it's possible. I know psychopathy/sociopathy is not, as this has a physical element (brain structures).
Narcissism, at its heart, is driven by belief and lack of taking responsibility.
In my late teens, I think I was on the path to full-blown narcissism (vulnerable, not grandiose), but I got help and support that began correcting my thought patterns. It's only the past 2 years or so that I'm finally purging the last really narcissistic thoughts. I'm now 43.
Coincidentally, my life is also much better - the more I took responsibility for what was going on, the happier and more successful I became. We all have ego and a little narcissism, of course, but pathological narcissism is destructive to yourself and everyone around you - only really good looking people can ever get away with it (Amber Heard, Justin Trudeau...)
So, is it curable? If it's caught young enough or the treatment is extreme enough, maybe it is? But does society have the stomach to treat narcissists the way they need to be to be cured? Almost certainly not.
