Episode 290 - Shame and The Mask of Narcissism

Welcome back to In Sanity: A Piece of Mind. I this episode, going to talk about shame and the narcissist.Most of us picture someone loud — bragging, taking over every conversation, never admitting they're wrong. But narcissism isn't loving yourself too much. It's the opposite. It's what a person builds when they can't stand to look at the real, ordinary version of themselves.Narcissism is the cope used when someone can't tolerate the gap between their real, ordinary, flawed self, and the fantasy self they have created, and need to believe is real. We will discuss two types of narcissism and how they operate from the same egocentric premise.Join me this week, take a good hard look at yourself, and see if you can't diagnose a bit of narcissism in your own life.
