Beware: the Narcissism Bandwagon
Madonna, Kanye West, Miley Cyrus, Donald Trump…if you're active on social media, you will have read, at some point, that the one thing all these celebrities have in common is that they're all narcissists. And, according to many relationship-and-love-focused social media pages and blogs, narcissists are everywhere, and you have probably known or even been in a romantic relationship with one.
