Summary
Narcissists, being fully committed to the False Self, want you to assume they are the ones with the answers, when in fact, they are deeply insecure. In this episode, Dr. C responds to questions he has received from listeners for the purpose of showing you some of the many ways narcissists display their inner tension. They can't come to terms with their hidden insecurities, but you can stay disentangled when they attempt to drag you into their dysfunction.
