Victims of narcissistic abuse need to learn a certain sense of self-love and self-compassion, self-acceptance, which can be difficult because, ultimately, if they didn't have a blueprint, if they didn't have parents or people around them who were compassionate and loving, how are they supposed to learn this skill of self-love and compassion?
