The Reluctant Narcissist

“You don’t have to be the narcissist to get trapped in the pattern. You just have to be addicted to being chosen.”
Book Launch Presale

You’re not crazy. You’re not too much.

You’ve just been stuck in a cycle of needing to feel enough.
Enough to be loved. Enough to be admired. Enough to never be left again.

This isn’t a story about someone else’s narcissism.
It’s a raw look at how the need for control, validation, and being liked can quietly destroy the intimacy we crave.
