Explain why your friend's relationship with Nick, a narcissist, is like chocolate cake
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The chocolate cake model, a model of relationships that start off well and end poorly, originally developed to explain relationships with narcissists such as Nick. Imagine you have the choice of eating either chocolate cake or broccoli. You think for about half a second and then make a move for the chocolate cake. The cake tastes so good, and you get a big sugar rush that makes you feel like you are soaring with the eagles. Unfortunately, 20 minutes later the inevitable crash to earth occurs. You feel empty and lethargic—and you ask yourself why you ate the stupid chocolate cake in the first place. The broccoli would have produced a different outcome: You would not have had any rush, but 20 minutes later, you would not have had a massive crash. Instead, you would feel healthy and think, "I eat right and take care of myself."
