Episode notes
Two Masks: Public Charisma, Private Cruelty
- Narcissists often act differently in public versus private, revealing two masks: a polished public persona and a cruel private self.
- This split shows they usually know their behavior is wrong and manage appearances to avoid accountability.

- Recognize breadcrumbing and deprivation as deliberate relationship patterns rather than isolated lapses.
- Stop trying to 'fix' the narcissist and accept that small crumbs are not enough; seek therapy and outside comparison to see reality.
Feeling Grateful For A Birthday Text
- Ramani recounts people feeling thrilled when a narcissist merely says "happy birthday" because they've learned to value crumbs.
