    Decoding Narcissism: Beyond the Mirror's Reflection

    Best quote from Decoding Narcissism: Beyond the Mirror's Reflection

    “

    Narcissism isn't one-size-fits-all; it's a pervasive pattern where people become objects to serve a lead character's needs rather than actual human beings with their own experiences. While understanding its origins can help us have compassion, it doesn't mean we have to tolerate abuse or manipulation.
