I want to share this info on Narcissism bc I’ve found this woman’s podcasts to be incredibly helpful for understanding the deep motivations behind the disorder.
This is a conglomeration of many of her best pieces. If anyone is struggling with this issue right now, (and it seems this a HUGE issue that’s being exposed as the energies shift) I think you’ll find this to be very useful.
G/Knowledge is power.

Important bit of understanding about narcissists. They don’t fall in love with themselves. In fact, most actually loathe themselves.
They fall in love with their reflection.
The reflection they see in the mirrors all around them is what they become obsessed with.
How they appear is what matters. To others, yes, but most importantly to themselves.
It soothes their deep seated belief that they are not worthy. Not good enough. Very, very not OK.
The people they abuse are not actually people to them. They are mirrors; simple tools to use to examine their own reflection. And when the mirror no longer shows them what they wish to see, they will break it.
Or try to.

Another thought on the narcissism stuff…
If you haven’t been through this personally, it’s very unlikely that you actually understand how it works.
And I’m not saying that to be a dick. I just want to point out that it’s a COMPLICATED issue and if someone is dealing with it, especially in its Covert form, it’s very confusing and destabilizing.
A lot of folks are tossing around the buzzwords lately: “narcissist”, “gaslighting”, “narcissistic supply”, etc. And it’s clear that a lot of the time, it’s just being used as some kind of adjective to describe someone’s behavior but the person is not fundamentally “a narcissist” with the full-blown disorder.
Please understand that this disorder is rooted in DEEP shame, fear and trauma and is not at all what it appears to be on the surface. That’s not to make excuses for the behavior, but to point out just how deep-seated and dangerous it is to underestimate these people. We don’t need to fear them, but actually understanding the dynamic can be very helpful. And Healing.
If you are trying to help someone else through this issue, but you haven’t ACTUALLY experienced it, please consider listening to the info I’ve posted above and searching this channel for narcissism, narcissists, NPD etc.
You may be doing more harm than good without realizing it 🫶
