Narcissism is a learned defense mechanism…your reactions to them is also YOUR learned defense mechanism…
Our first experience with a Narcissist is usually from a caregiver…that’s how we learn to trust the wrong people…and thus experience several through our lives until we wake the hell up…after a lot of agonizing similar relationships.
The intention behind both of your reactions is what creates the difference between the 2 of you… They are doing it for their own selfish benefit and you are doing it for survival.
The difference in the intentions makes ALL the difference…
A BIG difference…
