Definition:
Narcissist ke andar do layers hoti hain — ek false self (jo perfect, superior, charming dikhta hai) aur ek true self (jo insecure, ashamed, aur vulnerable hai). Wo har waqt false self ka mask pehne rehte hain taaki unki asli feelings kabhi saamne na aayein.
Example:
- Samne wo confident dikhte hain: “Main sab kuch sambhal sakta hoon,” lekin andar se dependent hote hain validation pe.
- Jab criticism milta hai to unka mask girta hai — rage, withdrawal, ya breakdown hota hai.
