Imagine being in a life-or-death situation where lying could save your life—it’s all about survival, right? For narcissists, survival isn’t about protecting their physical body but preserving something they cherish just as much: their fragile, inflated self-image.
Picture their self-worth as a shiny balloon—big and eye-catching, but dangerously delicate. Here’s how this “balloon” fuels their lies:
- To stop it from deflating – They seek constant admiration and attention to keep their ego puffed up.
