Narcissist or Not? Decoding Red Flags in Dating Apps & Texts (with Dr. Jenny Young)

Ever ignored a gut feeling on a date because you wanted to "give him a chance"? In this episode, I'm sharing a conversation from Breaking Free from Narcissistic Abuse — host Dr. Kerry McAvoy sits down with Dr. Jennie Young, a PhD linguist and creator of the viral Burned Haystack Dating Method, to break down how the words men use in dating profiles and early text messages expose who they really are before you've ever met in person. Dr. Young holds a PhD in rhetoric and discourse studies, specializing in critical discourse analysis — the study of how language reveals what people don't want you to know. In this episode, she shows you how to spot manipulation, love-bombing, and red flags in dating apps and texting before you invest your time and heart. If you're rebuilding trust in your own instincts and want practical tools for reading between the lines in online dating, this episode is for you.
