In the end, narcissists are obsessed with image, but ironically, the very tool they use to showcase their fantasy becomes the archive of their downfall. The camera holds receipts, memories, and shadows. It does what narcissists fear most: it documents the truth they cannot delete.
You may doubt your memories and second-guess what you felt, but go back. Look again at the pictures—look with the eyes of someone who now sees clearly. Look at the photos from before the discard: the tension in your jaw, the sadness in your eyes, the lifeless smile on their face, the possession in their touch. The truth was always there. The camera saw it before you did, and it never looked away.
And that is what you have to remember. With that, let’s bring this episode to an end. Thank you so much for listening. I will talk to you in the next one. Until then.
