Covert/vulnerable narcissism

[Hahacrazy]

I am usually not the one to self-diagnose, but I really do believe that I have this kind of narcissism. It describes me almost to a t. Can anyone else relate? I am sure many of you have this as well. I probably developed this as a defense mechanism from taking shit since my adolescence and struggling to fit into the post-secondary normgroid lifestyle.

Sam Vaknin has great videos about this:

unironically think I've had this since I was 6 years old

it's just abused dog syndrome tbh it's not as cool as it sounds
