- How can we distinguish between the true abuser and the victim when both parties exhibit toxic behaviors? Examine the complexities of identifying the dynamics in abusive relationships.
- How do narcissists manipulate others into believing they are the victim? Explore the strategies used to garner sympathy and support while concealing their abusive behaviors.
- Do narcissists ever question if they themselves are narcissistic? Discuss whether narcissists introspect on their behavior and self-image.
