Narcissists Aren’t Faking — You Are
Alright, let’s cut through the fluff
You might think the Narcissist is hiding something when they first reel you in, but that’s not quite it.
So…what’s really going on?
They’re not pretending — they genuinely believe the fantasy they’re living in. When you get tangled up with a narcissist, you’re just stepping into their world of illusion without even realizing it.
Narcissists can’t see the middle ground
To them, you’re either perfect or a total mess — same goes for how they see themselves. This is because their whole object relations (the ability to see people as complex, with both good and bad traits) is broken. It’s a pretty sad situation when you think about it, but don’t feel too bad for them just yet.
From a young age, they’ve been made to feel worthless and unlovable. But since the human mind is built, in some facet, on self-preservation, they build this “false self” — a perfect, shiny version they want everyone (including themselves) to believe in.
It’s all smoke and mirrors to hide the shame buried deep down. And after a while, they’ve spun this web of delusion so tight, they start buying into…
