Quotes 

“Not everybody who’s divorcing a narcissist knows that the person is narcissistic.” - Dr. Rachna Buxani-Mirpuri 

“A lot of narcissistic characteristics are reinforced by society.” - Dr. Rachna Buxani-Mirpuri 

“Narcissism inherently comes from insecurity, insecurity brings shame, and shame takes a form of rage.” - Dr. Rachna Buxani-Mirpuri 

“There is no way to have a healthy relationship with a narcissist.” - Dr. Rachna Buxani-Mirpuri 

“I think it takes a lot of self-reflection to ask yourself what you are really longing for in friendships and in general. Ask yourself what gives your life meaning, what gives your life purpose, and what makes you feel happy and fulfilled out of your interpersonal relationships.” - Nikki Spo  

“The boundaries you set are really for yourself and not for them.” - Nikki Spo 

“You have to not exist to be a part of these narcissistic relationships.” - Dr. Rachna Buxani-Mirpuri
