It Was Never Real
05/29/20 • 22 min
People with narcissistic personality disorder create a false self and live in an illusion, an imaginary world filled with magical thinking. They are incapable of authenticity, intimacy, and real human emotions. They are often quite skilled at creating a false self, but sooner or later the mask slips off and the true composition of the narcissist is revealed. It is a devastating moment that will be imprinted on you forever, but we must accept reality and be careful to stay firmly grounded in it.
