Depends on how your narcissism manifests jn your day to day life. Im in the same situation and tend to express mine by not thinking about others’ time, consistently trying to be “right” in conversations, and in general monopolizing interactions to make myself look better than the people i’m with.

To fix those, ive started making a calendar of all events in the lives of ppl around me (with notifs so i am constantly reminded that other people have lives and interests), am making a conscious effort to be more diplomatic in conversation and hold my tongue, and hype other people up if im in front of someone new

Definitely not! Perhaps that of young kids but an adult personality is developed through live experiences and one does NOT have the same experience as one’s parents

Not necessarily. There are some factors that are, but a personality is not genetically heritable
