Are you wondering if the person on the other end of your messages might be a narcissist? Narcissists have a way of manipulating and controlling others, even through texts. In this article, we’ll break down five key signs that could indicate you’re texting with a narcissist, based on insights from top attorney and bestselling author Rebecca Zung.
