<p>A close question to what I am trying to ask is <a href="https://psychology.stackexchange.com/questions/9970/is-there-scientific-evidence-that-narcissists-cannot-be-treated">Is there scientific evidence that narcissists cannot be treated?</a>.</p>
<p>I was wondering what are the eventual consequences of being a narcissist? Is there any study that has been carried out in this perspective?</p>
<p>What I am looking for in fact is, if untreated, how narcissism would manifest itself as a chronic personality disorder. Do we have any understanding of how narcissism would progress like a behavioral disorder?</p>

The term *progress* makes it sound more like a disease process than a personality disposition or set of coping mechanisms. Is the focus here on the change in the condition, or the change in circumstances and relationships?

Ideally both (in the condition as well as circumstances & relationships) would be good.
