Interview with a Narcissist

Diagnosed. Unfiltered. Disturbingly honest.

“People say narcissists wear a mask… I am the mask.”
‪@Thenamelessnarcissist‬

In this gripping, no-bullsh*t conversation, I sit down with Jacob Skidmore — better known as The Nameless Narcissist — one of the very few people clinically diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) who talks about it publicly.

What follows is not a redemption story or a TED Talk on empathy. It’s a raw, uncomfortable, and deeply revealing exploration of what it feels like to live inside the mind of someone pathologically wired to perform, calculate, manipulate — and yet still ache to be seen.

We talk about:
• The moment he realized he didn’t feel like a “real person”
• The emptiness behind the ego
• Practicing facial expressions to look human
• The addictiveness of admiration
• Why even vulnerability can feel like manipulation
• Whether narcissists can actually change

Whether you’re a survivor of narcissistic abuse or someone trying to understand this disorder from the inside out, this episode is going to be challenging.
