More Narcissists Are Men Because They Were Forced To Be

As things change, we will see the number of female narcissists rise

I had a great chat with a friend today, she’s a very successful female lawyer – and she is the only woman in her firm. Although many women are lawyers now, there are still more men.

In the states, roughly 37% of lawyers are female and in Canada that number is even closer to 50/50. So, I felt like this is a perfect high achieving profession to examine.

I also come into contact with many lawyers on a regular basis because of my occupation – a real estate agent and company owner. I have to say, most people don’t like lawyers. They consider them to be narcissistic, arrogant, and oftentimes — straight up assholes.

People are always asking me to refer them to a good lawyer who isn’t an arrogant prick – and I have to say, that request is a challenge. I only have a select few I can refer to who don’t fall into that category.

So this question has sat in my mind for years…

Do narcissists become lawyers or do lawyers become narcissists?

I would normally say, both. But I’m starting to think the latter might be increasingly true.
