A narcissist isn’t simply one who celebrates successes and needs praise like air to breathe, they are also the exhausting energy drainer, the silent sufferer, or, in the worst-case scenario, the psychopath. How can we recognize narcissists, what are their motives, and how can we protect ourselves from them?
