Good morning (or afternoon or evening) everyone,
Yesterday I read this brilliant quote by Sam Vankin, don't know if you have heard of him or what you think, that NPD was an extreme form of PTSD.
That was the most sane description of NPD I have heard of yet.

Sam Vaknin, self-proclaimed narcissist and author of the book, ‘Malignant self-love‘, describes the narcissist as a traumatized person who suffers from abandonment issues, anxiety and post traumatic stress disorder. He even goes as far as to suggest that the narcissism is a severe reaction to trauma, a form of PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) that mutated into a personality disorder.

I'm subscribed to Sam Vankin's youtube channel and intend to start watching more of his videos, I've seen a few.
Does anyone else resonate with the idea that NPD is an extreme form of PTSD?
