The Very Essence of the Narcissist

They fear the truth, avoid advice, and dislike change. Their ability to confess their flaws is nonexistent which is the reason they do not change or grow emotionally or spiritually. 

These people remain toddlers in their way of thinking until they repent to become born again. It is only through Christ that anyone has a completely changed mind that leads to a completely changed character. 

Those who remain spiritual toddlers will believe anything that fits with their fleshly desires.

1 Corinthians 14:20 "Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature.

Ephesians 4:14-15 "So that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,"

Hebrews 5:12-13 "For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child."

The only way to grow, change and learn great lessons is to confess sin openly as it arises and resolve not to repeat the offense again, by seeking Christ for cleansing from it. 

1 John 1:9 "9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

The solution to worldly pride is always Christ!
