We discuss the true nature of narcissists, who are not the confident people with big egos that one might imagine. Instead, they suffer from a distorted sense of reality, an inability to reality test, and a deep-seated shame and insecurity that they try to protect with a compensatory grandiosity. They require constant 'narcissistic supply' in the form of attention, validation, and emotional reactions from others to fuel their fragile sense of self. Narcissists also struggle with fears of rejection, exposure, abandonment, and retaliation, and they engage in a constant internal dialogue of self-abuse and self-justification. #narctok #narcissist #abuse #trauma #manipulation
