When does the narration of my personal traumas become an exercise of narcissism?

POOR GUY is a performative autoethnography that explores narratives of self-fashioning and identification while questioning trauma-plots and victimhood. It is a quest for nuances and complexities of the desire to be seen, heard, and understood, as well as the tension between vulnerability and exhibitionism. This performance challenges the moral dichotomy between victims and perpetrators, while navigating the intersection of personal and political storytelling. POOR GUY is a narcissistic project that questions a narcissist world, using the same weapon.
