Narcissism is brutal. The person always want attention and never gets enough attention. He has to be the center of attention and will do anything to get it: new clothes to admire, new trip to talk about, and new projects to affirm.
If Aaron’s family is not talking to him, then that is a strong statement. Brutal.
If Olivia is narcissistic, then it would take 5 minutes of talking to her to find out.
Most people don’t ‘really’ know what a narc is and how they are pure poison in families. I have been narced and I know all too well. And it is probably very difficult for a person that hasn’t suffered at the hands of a narc to truly grasp a narc’s brutality.
