EP 20 - The Storyteller: Narcissist's Playbook

Paglalarawan

Claire's Story Part 2 - In Sam's own words and explicitly stating he is speaking about himself, he tells his audience that "only severely mentally ill, broken, damaged traumatised women will succumb" to his psychology and sexuality. Succumb means to lose the determination to oppose something, accept defeat. It can also mean to die or suffer badly from an illness. The illness in this story is Sam's Vaknin's sick mind. After more than a month of video calls grooming a woman who'd reached out for help in a suicidal state, Sam had sexually assaulted her in a hotel room and then manipulated her to stay. He was in her head, making her wrong for wanting to leave and then quickly triangulating her with another women - a similar, but far superior and more successful one. The custom-made trap was set and Claire's disintegration began.
