Nobody should have to live in an emotionally abusive relationship. Unfortunately, persons who are narcissistic are often difficult to recognize, particularly at the greatest levels of wealth and social prominence. Living with a narcissistic spouse may lead to a condition known as narcissistic abuse syndrome, in which a person’s self-confidence and mental health are significantly harmed. In this article, we’ll discuss the indicators and symptoms of narcissistic abuse, focussing on the most affected among us – the privileged and rich.

When compared to the general population, they are significantly less likely to display traits such as superiority complexes or a sense of entitlement.

In order to maintain a connection with a narcissist, other people must pay him or her in the form of narcissistic supply.
