10. Narcissist/Borderline cases are notoriously difficult to treat

N/Bs don't think there's anything wrong with them. It's everybody else that needs fixing.

N/Bs think they're smarter and better than any psychiatrist alive, and it's too bad they don't listen to N/B's genius theories. If they'd follow N/Bs advice they could cure the world.

N/Bs don't believe anything anyone else says, even if it's meant to help. If N/B doesn't
like it, whatever is said to him about his condition is an evil lie, and the person who said it is the enemy FOREVER.

In treatment,(which rarely happens short of a court order) N/Bs forget all the progress they may have made from session to session and therapist has to start over from the beginning, trying to convince N/B that he has a problem and it hurts others. He doesn't care about others getting hurt, that's their fault for not being more like N/B. They are the sick ones.

(yup, dealing with that too long in my personal life!)
