It starts with a backhanded compliment. Then, a guilt trip when you see your friends. Suddenly, everything is your fault, and they are never wrong. If this sounds familiar, you might be seeing the early patterns of narcissistic abuse.

In today's episode, we're taking the blinders off. We are talking about the "mask slip"—that moment when the charming partner turns into a controlling critic. We cover the pain caused by inconsistent behaviour and the confusion it creates.

We break down the specific behaviours that create a toxic cycle:

Inconsistency: The "Damned if you do and damned if you don't dynamic.

The Blame Game: Why they never take responsibility for their actions.

Control & Isolation: How they slowly separate you from your support system.

Constant Criticism: The steady erosion of your self-esteem.

The most important lesson? You cannot change a narcissist's behaviour, no matter how much you love them. But you can change yourself. Tune in to learn how to spot the red flags, trust your gut, and take the first small steps toward reclaiming your reality.
