E389 | The Truth About Narcissism: 4 Types You Need to Know (and How to Navigate Them)


Listen Later

These days, it feels like everyone is calling someone a narcissist.

Ex-partner? Narcissist. Difficult boss? Narcissist. Confident stranger on Instagram? Must be a narcissist.

The term has been thrown around so loosely that it’s lost its meaning—and worse, it’s become a lazy way to avoid reflection or real understanding.

In this episode, we cut through the noise and get to the core of what narcissism really is—and what it isn’t.

You’ll learn:

  • Why narcissism exists on a spectrum—and why we all have narcissistic traits
  • The difference between clinical, subclinical, and just human behavior
  • The 4 distinct types of narcissism you’ll likely encounter in life or work
  • How narcissistic traits show up in covert, communal, and even “insecure” ways
  • Tactical ways to respond to each type—without losing your mind
  • Why spotting narcissism in yourself isn’t something to fear—but something to work with
  • If you’ve ever struggled to deal with someone manipulative, overly self-focused, or exhausting to be around…

    Or if you’ve ever wondered “wait… am I the problem?”—this one’s for you.

    Don’t forget:

    You’re never going to get better at dealing with challenging personalities—or improving your own communication—unless you actually come practice it in a hands-on setting.
