Let's examine 6 ways we can tell if someone is toxic (for us) but observing how we are reacting unconsciously to them.  Instead of debating how and why someone is toxic or is a narcissist, how about we observe how our body reacts?

It is possible that our body is telling us EVERYTHING we need to know about the situation - and whether or not it is working out for us.

In this video, I share 3 symptoms related to our body, and 3 related to OUR behaviours.

By putting the focus back on US, we empower ourselves and avoid senseless debates.

After all, if a relationship is NOT working out for us, it isn't working our, regardless what the reasons are!

And learning to listen to ourselves (again? For a change?) is liberating!

We know that narcissists are *like* vampires, but what if they actually literally were vampires (minus their ability to turn into bats - although we don't really know what they do when we are not looking...)?  

Maybe, if we knew that they sucked away our energy, drained our focus and life, and ultimately attempted to turn US into undead, maybe then we would be more careful around vampires? I mean narcissists.  

Maybe, if we took seriously tales that warn us of the monsters inside of us, maybe then we would be less vulnerable to attacks by these monsters?  

Maybe the Vampire stories are warnings that we did not heed.  

And maybe, if we see the commonalities between narcissists and vampires, we will learnt to take the threat of narcissists more seriously, so that we can beat narcissists, escape from narcissists and - last but not least - heal from narcissists?

Be it with narcissists (or other people), this common mistake makes us more vulnerable to being easily manipulated.  But once we're aware of it, it's much easier to avoid making it - even though it may be uncomfortable. But what is the alternative? More pain and manipulation?
