Number 3: A narcissistic victim shows people-pleasing behaviors.
They do their best to establish trauma bonds and codependency with their victims. As a result, narcissistic victims tend to constantly ask for their abuser’s validation to realize their worth.

If you think you can do something to help narcissistic victims, cope with their trauma, please do so.
