Can a narcissist develop as an adult? Is narcissism always the parents' fault? What could cause someone to become a narcissist later in life? Today we are covering reasons that someone might become a narcissist as an adult, including acquired situational narcissism, among other possibilities.
Research published in 1996 points to a condition that is referred to as transient, temporary, or short-term narcissism. And even before 1996, psychologists often recognized something they called "reactive narcissistic regression," which meant that when someone was dealing with certain issues, they might end up going through a sort of temporary narcissistic phase where they'd behave like a toxic narcissist until their issues were resolved.
And, according to what I've found in this and other published research papers, these types of temporary narcissism can also be triggered by certain other conditions. For example, traumatic brain injury (TBI) has often been linked to narcissistic behaviors and antisocial traits in people who had not previously displayed them.
