Narcissistic people operate through secrecy and compartmentalisation.
You’ll rarely, if ever - see the full picture because different relationships are used to meet different emotional or social needs.
One person may be used for validation.
Another for sympathy.
Another for status.
Another for control.
Many people around them end up being manipulated or emotionally exploited.
That’s why different people often experience completely different versions of the same person.
The persona shifts depending on what they want from the individual in front of them.
Over time, this creates relationships built more on usefulness than genuine connection.
Which means everyone is being exploited for what they can get from them.
And yes… I do mean everyone.
