If you're new here I have NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) and I've been in therapy for the last 8 years learning how to deal with it and live a better life. From the start I've offered you the rare POV of a diagnosed narcissist but NOW I'm switching it up a little bit. I'm interviewing others that are dealing with their own mental health journeys and those that have dealt with toxic relationship dynamics as well. I'm still sharing my POV just sharing others as well.

As a diagnosed narcissist, I’m breaking down why "the light" in you is exactly what attracts a predator and how your empathy was weaponized against you. Stop feeling like a victim and start understanding the value you have that they tried to claim as their own.
