Great article for me to read. I just want to let fellow readers know that recovery is possible and it isn’t easy and it takes a long time. Hang in there! Today, E. B. addressed the cringe-worthy truth that we ourselves are also narcissistic. I had come to that conclusion sort of myself about myself. I’ve been following and reading Johnson long enough to trust her hard-won wisdom, so thank you, E. B., because now I can earnestly look at that part of me.
