It's impossible to help someone who does not want to be helped. A truly narcissistic person will mostly likely see nothing abnormal about their behavior, thoughts, and feelings. A different question would be, how can you cope with someone in your life who you believe is narcissistic? A possible answer is to silently understand that their perception of reality differs from your own, and accept that. ANSWER It is not possible to help a N, because as far as they are concerned they are the best thing in the world and are not SICK, something is wrong with the rest of the world not them.

How do you help a narcassist get help?

How do you help a narcissist?
The question is help them how? Refer them to counseling, but they don't want to be fixed, though you may want to fix them to be a 'normal' person so you can keep a relationship with them. If you are a lay person and in a relationship with a narcissist, you cannot help them. Just by the nature of your relationship and the pathology of a narcissist, things will get ugly, it will be at your expense and there will be no change in the narcissist. A good therapist will be the one to help a narcissist, but it takes a great deal of work on the part of the narcissist, a commitment to healing, only they don't see themselves as 'broken' or anything wrong with them, so an honest introspective communication with a therapist is rare. It's so hard to understand. Leaving them is best for you though and isn't that sad that that is also the way to help a narcissist, because they are sucking your goodness from you and using it to buoy themselves. So sad.
