Grandiose Narzissten neigen dazu, eine verminderte neuronale Sensibilität für Fehler zu zeigen. Es ist möglich, dass dies der Mechanismus ist, durch den Narzissten sich weigern, sich selbst zu korrigieren, und so ihr positives Selbstbild stärken.

>Two studies of students in the U.K. revealed that individuals with pronounced grandiose narcissism traits tended to show blunted neural activity in response to errors. It is possible that this is the mechanism through which narcissists resist correcting themselves, bolstering their positive self-views. The [paper](https://doi.org/10.1111/jopy.70036) was published in the Journal of Personality.

>Narcissism is a personality trait characterized by grandiosity, a strong need for admiration, and a tendency toward self-centeredness. Two major forms of narcissism are grandiose and vulnerable narcissism. Grandiose narcissism is marked by confidence, extraversion, and exhibitionism, whereas vulnerable narcissism involves defensiveness, insecurity, and hypersensitivity to criticism.

>Individuals high in narcissism tend to be very interested in seeking status and recognition. They often appear charismatic and competent to others. However, they tend to struggle with empathy and prioritize personal gain over collective welfare. Because of this internal contrast, narcissism is linked to both short-term social success and long-term relational instability.

>In leadership contexts, narcissistic individuals may make bold, visionary decisions but also take excessive risks. Theoretical models suggest that narcissists either mask underlying insecurity or maintain a robust self-view through cognitive distortions and avoidance of negative feedback.

In theory, evolution should have removed these people from humanity, but for some reason it doesn’t seem to be doing so.

Wonder where the holdup is?

That’s just a fancy way of saying what we already know.
