A narcissistic system cannot tolerate people whose strength comes from:
-internal coherence
-reality-testing
-self-regulation
-accountability
-truth that stands on its own
Those qualities don’t submit. So they must be recast as dangerous.
That’s why genuinely healthy people often feel like they’re in a backwards reality in these environments—because they are. The value system is inverted.
And that inversion is one of the clearest markers of a socially narcissistic culture.
