Why Narcissists Struggle with Deep Regret and Responsibility

So I will attempt to break it down into pieces to make it as easy reading as possible.

Is it possible for someone with narcissistic personality disorder to genuinely feel remorse and seek forgiveness for their emotional abuse?

No.

Therefore narcissists, especially ‘Christian’ narcissists probably cannot be saved.

We have to go much much deeper, to understand the meaning of repentance, then how it relates to narcissism, then how that creates the whole problem with narcissists. Because you see, this isn’t as simple as it looks. There are deep spiritual implications behind and following all this.

So let’s begin.

What is repentance?

Repentance is change of mind or attitude.

What Is Repentance?

Repentance involves recognizing that you have thought wrongly in the past and determining to think aright in the future. The repentant person has “second thoughts” about the mindset he formally embraced. There is a change of disposition and a new way of thinking about God, about sin, about holiness, and about doing God’s will. True repentance is prompted by “godly sorrow,” and it “leads to salvation” (2 Corinthians 7:10).
