reading The Last Psychiatrist on narcissism and it’s 100% gaslighting
every sentence is designed to break down the reader's self-trust

look at this cheap parlor trick
he 'catches you out' because you're trying to be good (taking on the frame that narcissism is bad), and then because you're trying to figure out what's good instead of already knowing it (ie agreeing with him), he calls you selfish & a bad parent

he sends you into a meta spiral, causing you to question your motives and very ability to make your own judgements (because according to him that's narcissistic)
lmao "looking-- right back at you" WHAT A SHOCKING SURPRISE I WILL CHANGE MY WAYS IMMEDIATELY TELL ME WHAT TO DO O WISE ONE I DONT WANT HER LOOKING AT ME
^he takes 5 paragraphs to obliquely say "the story is about you".
it's designed to make you *feel* you're a piece of shit, not merely think it
it's a neg: lowers your self-value in order to substitute his own
