About Karl Prime
I was the hero of a story that didn't exist - except in my head.
For most of my life, I lived as a version of myself that was carefully curated, high-status, and entirely hollow. I operated under the name Karl Prime, but the "Prime" part was a lie. It was a mask I used to navigate the world, to win every argument, and to ensure that I never had to feel small or "average."
I’ve spent a lifetime treating people like "objects" for my own supply, gaslighting to protect my ego, and building a world where my reflection was the only thing that mattered.
Why this site exists
This isn't a redemption arc designed for clicks. This is a digital audit.
I realized that the only way to move from a "False Self" to a "True Self" was through brutal, public honesty. I’m documenting my journey of recovery not because I’m a hero, but because accountability is the only antidote to narcissism.
On this site you will find
The Weekly Audit: A transparent log of my narcissistic slips, my triggers, and the actual work I’m doing in therapy.
Decoding the Mind: An inside-out look at why narcissists do what they do, explained by someone who is actively fighting those same impulses.
The Path to Empathy: My attempt to learn how to be human—one boundary, one apology, and one honest conversation at a time.
Who this is for
- The Fellow Narcissist: If you are tired of the war, the lies, and the loneliness, you aren't alone. I’m doing the work. You can too.
- The Survivor: I am not your abuser, but I have been an abuser. I hope my transparency helps you understand the mechanics of the person who hurt you, so you can stop blaming yourself for their choices.
- The Curious: For anyone trying to understand the intersection of personality disorders and the possibility of genuine change.
The Goal
I don't want to be "Prime" anymore. I just want to be real.
I am Karl Prime, and I am finally reclaiming the man behind the mask.
