Anyone Can be Manipulated by a Narcissist

Anyone can be manipulated by a narcissist. It has nothing to do with your level of intelligence, or how many degrees you have. Victims of narcissistic abuse often feel stupid for allowing themselves to be taken advantage of by narcissists. We are not taught to protect ourselves from these predators. We are also not taught the nature of who we are dealing with. Most of us didn’t know people like this existed. We were completely unprepared to deal with this insidious manipulatory abuse.
