Wouldn’t You Agree? #8
Q: What’s a simple way to tell the difference between a neurotic, narcissistic and healthy personality?
A: Say to them, “Maybe you’re just a tad too negative.” The neurotic will feel hurt, the narcissist will go ballistic and the healthy personality will say, “Can you give me an example?”

Mark, you have it down, and I thank you for your pithiness. Unfortunately, mental health is not learned from even wise articles. Adults change for only two reasons – excellent psychotherapy, which is rare and trauma.
I have seem people grow and learn through reading, especially by reading literature, but no one alters character by reading. That takes love or grief.
