Anybody can become a criminal in the wrong circumstance or with the wrong decision making. A narcissist does not mean that that individual is a criminal though. Many narcissists are law abiding citizens that struggle every day with their mental health and their personality which creates these rigid patterns of behavior that make them very difficult to have interpersonal relationships with. But being somebody that is hard to get along with and somebody that you wouldn't want to have a relationship with necessarily do to their tendency toward manipulation and abuse that's emotional, they're just have a higher susceptibility to that type of relationship where they are doing that kind of thing It doesn't necessarily mean that that individual is abusive They just have a higher likelihood of being abusive. It's the same with criminality. There are great large number of narcissists that would never consider committing a crime, but the entitlement and the grandiosity aspects, if those traits are high enough in that individual narcissist then they could have a higher susceptibility or a higher likelihood of becoming a criminal. It's all still very individualized and based in terms of that person's overall personality and their traits in general. It's not one size fits all that all narcissists are criminals, it's some people are criminals who happen to be in narcissists.
