Episode 13 - Learning About Narcissism and Dealing with Narcissistic People

Today’s episode takes a deep dive into narcissistic personality styles — what they look like, how they show up, and how they affect those around them.We unpack the behaviors often practiced by narcissists, including systematic invalidation, minimization, manipulation, rage, betrayal, and gaslighting — all mixed with periods of warmth or normalcy. This unpredictable cycle can leave others feeling confused, doubting their own experiences, and questioning reality. Recognizing these patterns is key.The hosts explore moderate narcissism, which is actually the most common form. Traits may include a sense of self-importance, entitlement, arrogance, envy of others, and the belief that others are envious of them.They also share personal encounters, discuss the impact these relationships can have, and offer insight into how to respond. Sometimes, the healthiest approach can mean no longer engaging at all.Be sure to follow us on Instagram:www.instagram.com/gratitudeandattitudeVisit our website gratitudeandattitude.life to request a topic for our next episode.And most importantly, remember to take things lightly while doing life deeply!#podcast   #narcissism #narcissist #gratitudeandattitude  Medical Disclaimer for PodcastThe information provided in this podcast is for general informational and educational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
