Our values form our identity, so they are important for knowing who we are. To associate with a narcissist calls for compromise to ones value system. Constantly I hear victims say that they became someone who they did not recognise any more. When I ask them why that was, they invariably answer that they had to live by the narcissists values if they were to survive, not to do so was too unsafe.

The narcissist lives through a False Self, and to survive the victim begins to live through that false self with them. But it is a high price to pay, because it is like a death to oneself to do so. You become like Echo, a shadow of your former self, someone who became a mere whisper of herself.

If you do not know who Echo is, you can read an article I wrote on the myths of Narcissus.
