Accept the vulnerability, and you can combat the shame and resultant narcissism. And she's got some suggestions about how to do that which may be helpful, may not.
Thank you that answer was most useful vulnerability and shame lie underneath the false- self - makes a lot of sense and accounts for a lot - I am just trying to find out about my partner who is NPD. But nobody on this forum seems very keen to help - I keep saying I am no enemy - I love my partner and want to understand as much as possible.
