Narcissist or not, If someone treats you consistently with disrespect or keeps you on a toxic rollercoaster of emotions, you need to walk away, no need to give them a label. My initial minimalist quest, was actually a reaction to a series of unhealthy relationships. And decluttering my life has decluttered my mind. Which has had a positive impact on the relationships which I choose to have in my life. Loved today’s video.
I grew up with a narcissistic father. I learned how to not react to anything, almost ever. It was the only way to piss him off since he was always looking for a reaction. Now it’s just part of who I am so it leaves people thinking I never care about anything. I actually care about a lot but I don’t show much emotion for people to see. I learned how to save all my reactions for later when I’m in private. I am pretty good at communicating so I am able to say “I’m so excited for you” or “I’m sorry” but I’d bet people don’t believe me since I have to make an effort to show the emotion to go with my words. I hope this makes sense.
Wow. Another combo often seen is the empath and the narcissist, because the empath feels the need to help the narcissist and possesses the qualities the narcissist is lacking (the empathy), so they feel they can take advantage of that. I'm possibly borderline personality (my therapist doesn't want to pigeonhole me into a diagnosis when I have a history of all kinds of abuse) empath and I've dated a few narcissistic men. The point about how narcissistic people would never wonder if they're narcissistic is spot on. My last narcissistic situationship said something along the the lines of, "If there's anything you don't like about me, I hope you don't tell me," AFTER him pointing out what he thinks I "should" fix about myself.
I can see my son in this! 😢 from being small he needed and received mental health support, but sadly that stopped when he turned 13 ! I see how he treats his girlfriend and us and even took him to the doctors but we were just fobbed off
I have learnt through coaching how to deal with a narcissist boss..respond but dont react..do not feed them what they need..know that they are the problem not you...when you give them nothing they cant handle it and you will crush them..
Dear Joshua and Ryan, Just food for thought, have you ever heard of HG Tudor, a Narcissistic Psychopath? He is a master at No Contact (NC) and an interview with him would pair well with Livingroom Conversations S2 • E6. How do you get rid of toxic people? Thank you for all you do!
I’m so annoyed that people label themselves primarily being an Empath but the truth of it is yeah u may be an Empaths but most Empaths are codependent they have been abused and many have CPTSD symptoms. It’s unfortunate the thing is what I’m learning about is standards and boundaries
This sound like my GF but I give her credit she’s trying to change but I doubt it...this woman uses me like a cheerleader or self esteem boost she thinks I don’t know but I do

Self-protective energy-saving, after it was used as ammunition against you. I relate.
I can relate to absolutely everything Lori said .... great conversation.

ive been thinking why u guys didnt make just 1 social media to share ur content? what a minimalism.
Interesting idea!
This sound like my GF but I give her credit she’s trying to change but I doubt it...this woman uses me like a cheerleader or self esteem boost she thinks I don’t know but I do
Question is why do u allow it?
شكرا
This therapist - Lori Gottlieb is a train wreck. She is not qualified to give anyone advice on dating or relationships.
