 Because they know that you will be easier to deceive. They know that they will be able to manipulate you longer if you are naive to who and what they are. And don’t think this necessarily is someone who hasn’t been exposed to narcissistic abuse. Most times, the target will have been exposed to narcissistic abuse typically in childhood but will be unaware of this fact.

 Many times, a person who has not been exposed to narcissistic abuse will know something is wrong and the person who has been exposed to narcissistic abuse will not know because that is what they’re used to.

6. Financially responsible or successful.
