人年纪一大，就会听到有人说——“我已经很久不听新歌了”、“现在这玛丽苏/杰克苏电视剧能看？”、“xx后都是这样的吗？”、“现在这些明星我一个也不认识。” On average, negative forms of narcissism — willfulness and hypersensitivity — declined with age, while the more positive feeling of having control over your life increased as people got older. 从平均数来看，消极的自恋形式——任性和超敏反应——随着年龄的增长而减少。不过，随着年龄的增长，那种对生活有掌控感的更为积极的感觉则会增加。 The researchers also found some outliers: Some people just stayed narcissists. Some people declined really dramatically and became quite humble people. Others didn’t change much at all, suggesting that narcissism might be a lifelong condition for them. 研究人员还发现了一些极端值：有些人就是会自恋到老。虽然有部分被试的自恋特质急剧减弱，老了之后变成了相当谦卑的人，但还有些人就是一点也没有变，这表明高度自恋可能伴随他们一生。
