Sie sprach sachlich und mit Bedacht Themen an, die viele Menschen im Lande bewegen. Aber plötzlich war sie eine Exotin im Metier. Die Reaktion war ein linker "Shitstorm", leider Normalität heutzutage. Die Politikjournalistin Julia Ruhs ist Reporterin beim Bayerischen Rundfunk sowie Kolumnistin für Focus Online.

Narcissist. It’s a buzzword tossed around too freely, watering down its meaning. Too few people know that a true narcissist dishes out abuse to their prey so diabolical and insidious that it gets its own label – “narcissistic abuse”. This abuse often doesn’t include physical injury, making the wounds invisible and hard to prove or explain. Victims are often empathetic, loyal individuals—perhaps even someone you know or love.
