Is it Possible for a Smart Person to Fall for a Narcissist?

Falling for a Narcissist has nothing to do with intelligence.

Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with your IQ or how smart you are. Some of the most intelligent people in the world can lack self-awareness. And if you lack self-awareness, you are vulnerable to falling for the manipulation of a Narcissist.

The problem is most people who get involved with a Narcissist aren’t educated in Narcissistic abuse. Many never heard of Narcissism, or the understanding of Narcissism wasn’t correct.

Narcissism goes far deeper than staring at their reflections in water or the mirror. Actually, it has more to do with the manipulation and emotional pain they unleash on the unsuspecting victims.

Yea, maybe you have dated an asshole or a cheater, but to date, a Cluster B Personality, AKA, Narcissist, is like walking into a new dimension. And when you first arrive, it is the most beautiful experience you’ve ever had! One that you never knew existed.

You will be pinching yourself to check and see if this is all a dream. You will be asking yourself, “How is this person single?” And oh boy, will the answer come to you quickly if you stick around long enough.
