One of the worst personality traits to have is narcissism, especially for people who genuinely care about a narcissistic person because it will never be a mutual relationship. When someone lives with a narcissist, it could lead to a severe condition called Narcissistic Abuse Syndrome. This occurs when you spend a significant amount of time with someone with narcissism, and it starts to seriously affect the person’s self-worth, confidence, and even sanity. When a narcissistic partner plants negative thoughts in their partner’s head, such as repeatedly pointing out flaws or failures, this person can genuinely start to believe all of these things about themselves and have a hard time determining what is true about themselves and what is not. This emotional manipulation causes repeated abuse to their partner, similar to PTSD. Take this: Are you suffering from narcissist abuse syndrome quiz to find out.
