This guide will be your starting point for getting to know, analyzing, and managing this oppressive problem of narcissism and its abuse.

I am the narcissist. I am chock full of wickedness. You think that you can have realistic expectations of me, but I will do whatever I can do to throw you off your game. I love devouring empaths.
