Narcissists are selfish, self-absorbed, deceitful, and incapable of empathy, but one of the most dangerous things about a narcissist is how easy it can be to fall for them. They’re usually incredibly charming, eloquent, intelligent, and charismatic when you first meet them. But don’t be fooled by the mask they show you – a narcissist’s kindness never lasts. A narcissist will take everything you have to give and demand more without ever giving back anything in return. And the worst part is, they make you want to do it! they're such experts at manipulating people that you may not even realize it when they’re doing it to you! So, we've made this video to expose the common mind games and manipulation tactics narcissists use!
