If you think everyone can just choose how they feel you've obviously never faced any real problems.

No one can choose how they feel, that's the problem. You have to do a whole bunch of stuff that's really hard in order to improve your mood, which is why even people in therapy often don't improve.

Exactly. If no one can choose how they feel, why do you accuse me of it?

You can change how you feel if you want to badly enough, you can't just choose to do it automatically. It takes time and willpower. But you and every other narcissist on the planet fears change pushing them out of a place of familiarity and comfort more than you fear anything else.
