Narcissists don’t learn from their mistakes because they don’t think they make any
When most people find that their actions have resulted in an undesirable outcome, they tend to rethink their decisions and ask, ‘What should I have done differently to avoid this outcome?’ When narcissists face the same situation, however, their refrain is, ‘No one could have seen this coming!’ In refusing to acknowledge that they have made a mistake, narcissists fail to learn from those mistakes, a recent study has found.
