How to deal with a narcissist?
Narcissists can be incredibly alluring and magnetic. They excel at presenting a fantasy, attractive self-image that appeals to others.
We are drawn to them because of their outward confidence and lofty aspirations, and the more empathic, the more attractive the appeal is.
It’s simple to get sucked into their web and believe that they would satisfy our needs to feel more significant and alive. However, it’s only a fantasy and an expensive one at that.
How to prevent narcissistic personality disorder?
Because the underlying etiology of narcissistic personality disorder is unknown, there is no proven method of prevention.
