Summary

It's extremely difficult to get close to a narcissist. When I say "close" I don't mean physical closeness, I'm referring to emotional closeness. A lot of narcissistic people have a fear of letting people get emotionally close to them for a few different reasons. I go over a few in detail in the video but 1 of the main reasons is fear. Abject fear that if you get too close to me, then you will be able to hurt me in some way. They may think or feel this way because something happened to them in their youth that may them no longer trust people to get close to them.

Welcome my channel! If this is your first time seeing my face or hearing my voice, my name is Lee and I am a self aware narcissist. I have narcissistic personality disorder ( NPD ) and I've been in therapy for my personality disorder since 2017 and it has definitely changed my life because without it, I would have lost everything. The point of these videos is to help bring awareness from the other side of the narcissistic *buse spectrum. All my videos give perspective on why many narcissists do what they do and the possible different reasons behind them. The victims and survivors get validation and the Narcissists (those that are willing) get to see that you can get help and that you are not alone.

Thank you so much and lets HEAL together
