Episode 15: Understanding Narcissism

In this episode of Almost Oblivious, we dive into the complexities of narcissism, exploring the difference between narcissistic tendencies and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). We discuss how narcissism can play a role in abusive relationships, the myths surrounding it, and why the term is often overused. Abuse isn’t limited to romantic relationships—it can come from family and friends too. Join me as we break down the nuances of narcissism, empower survivors, and invite listeners to share their stories to help others feel less alone.
