The narcissist's life is also a fevered dream. They create a larger-than-life confabulation of wonder and awe with a childlike view of the world that is both precious and tyrannical. When you step into their world, nothing will ever be the same.
Imagine a narcissist on a relentless quest, much like Don Quixote chasing windmills. In this episode of N.A.R.C.

The discussion dives into the 'epic hero quest' of the narcissist, exploring their unyielding pursuit of an idealized narrative that often leads to heartbreak and confusion for those around them.

She paints a vivid picture of their perpetual chase for perfection, and how it impacts their relationships and self-perception. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the elusive and often destructive nature of narcissistic behavior.
With her signature blend of empathy and expertise, Prajinta offers listeners valuable insights into the illusory worlds of narcissists, making sense of their seemingly incomprehensible actions.
