“S”, a new friend of mine was in an abusive relationship for three years, and she didn’t even know what was happening to her.

Her boyfriend was not aggressive. He was not a drunk nor did he do drugs. He did not beat her. She felt safe with him, until her left for another.

When she came to me to talk about what happened I was shocked. What she told me about her relationship raised all the red flags of narcissistic abuse, but same as many others, she did not know what was happening to her.

People with Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) have an inflated idea of themselves and a need for lots of attention from other people — WebMD

“S” was shocked when her boyfriend left her. He said as he broke up with her, “you do not fulfill my intellectual needs anymore”. What a load of bull s***.

That person assumes the title of author and claims to be a life coach, a philosopher, and many other flashy titles that he brandishes so lavishly on his social media accounts.
