The document lists warning signs of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) in relationships. It states that people with NPD seek attention, empathy and adulation from others. They idealize their target at first through intense focus and feeling "chosen". However, their interest is just a pretense to get supply. Over time, devaluing begins privately, causing confusion. Victims feel sorry for the person with NPD and blame themselves for the abusive behavior, while the abuser denies responsibility. The cycle of abuse, manipulation and gaslighting leaves victims questioning their own reality.
