Summary

What happens when a narcissist is finally alone? As a diagnosed narcissist, I’m getting raw about how my own mind attacks me the second the "audience" leaves. Today, we’re discussing why narcissists have a negative default setting, why silence feels like a death sentence, and how we use external validation (supply) as a shield against intense self-hatred. If you’ve ever wondered why your toxic partner couldn't be alone or why they constantly needed to be the center of attention, this is the internal reality they are running from. Join me for this deep dive into the "Internal Bully" of NPD.
