\"\"Why do some people defend the very person causing harm? Is it loyalty or fear or even dependance? There is always a reason behind it even if the victim themselves is unaware or fully aware of what they are doing.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Enablers of narcissists are the people that defend them and even eventually start adopting the traits of the narcissist without even knowing they are doing it. They may even become narcissists themselves just for sticking up for someone’s behavior repetitively.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

This article is intended to show you how enablers of narcissists even happen, how it plays out for enablers of narcissists, and what we as victims can do to protect ourselves from the enablers of narcissists.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

I want you to find a survival guide for defending yourself against the enablers of narcissists as well as the narcissist themselves. I don\u2019t want you to base your journey on theory alone, I hope you can use my experience as well for your learning journey.<\/span>
