128. Picking Up On Toxic Signals In Real Time - Real Story

from Decoding Narcissism, Manipulation And Toxic Ideas, with Frederik Ribersson · host Frederik Ribersson

I noticed a series of strange signals before things get really weird - but I reacted calmly: I was prepared, this time. I'd started speaking with a woman at the hotel gym. I noticed some weird comments. Each, taken individually, didn't mean much, but together should have alerted me.I was going to have dinner and she tagged along. During the dinner, she attempted to switch on Drama Mode and play victim. But instead of apologise or reassure her, I debunked her claims, calmly. Here are the signals I picked up on, and some thoughts around such (bizarre) interactions. Some might remind you of situations you've been in. Maybe you can imagine if you would have reacted like me, or differently, and you'll see different options.I hope you find this helpful (and possibly entertaining).
