On-screen text

Do you know why being with a narcissist is weird? He'll let his own house fall apart while ensuring the rest of the world sees him as a hero. He'll show up for strangers, coworkers, friends—anyone who feeds his ego. Always helpful, always appearing like "the good guy" from the outside. People praise him and wonder how anyone could ever have an issue with him. But behind closed doors, it's a different story. Cold, dismissive, emotionally unavailable. He will train you not to rely on him by making you feel bad for just asking the basic needs. He will do below the bare minimum but he will shame you for not exhausting your resources for him. And call you ungrateful whenever you communicate you have to leave for good. The people who love him the most—get the worst version of him.
