**Narcissists don’t live in a normal or real world—they live in their own made-up world of fantasies, lies, delusions, and deceit.** Anyone who has any part in their scripted reality *must* accept—or better yet, worship—the narcissist. If they don’t, they are deemed crazy, punished, or even destroyed. The narcissist is a strict dictator who makes up *all* the rules and laws but follows none of them.

The only standards in a narcissist’s world are double standards. All of the narcissist’s indiscretions and sins *must* be forgiven and accepted without question, but you must be absolutely perfect at all times. Your role is clear: you are a servant, caretaker, or clinically, a source of supply. Your purpose is to feed their ego and maintain their false image.

Adoration and adulation must be given to the narcissist constantly, but once you’re caught in their lair of abuse, none is ever given in return. In *their* world, abuse is how they reward your love. You *must* accept their abusive ways, or else you are labeled wrong, troublesome, derelict, or even insane—and ultimately discarded.

This is not a world where a healthy, normal, loving person with empathy can survive. It will destroy your belief system, erode your self-worth, shatter your connections, ruin your well-being, damage your health, and change you forever. Escaping this toxic realm is not just necessary—it’s vital to reclaim your identity and heal your soul.
