A narcissist thrives in certain environments when their needs are met. When things go awry, and their needs are not met, or they have been ousted, they will not be happy campers. 

In this episode, we are going to explore the biggest fears of a narcissist, which are the very things they don’t want you to ever do or act on or heaven forbid, even have knowledge of.

A narcissist thrives in environments where their needs are met, their image is protected, and their control goes unchallenged. But what happens when that illusion starts to crack?

In this episode, we explore the eight things narcissists fear most—their true kryptonite. These are the actions, realizations, and boundaries they hope you never discover, because each one threatens the carefully constructed world they’ve built.

We unpack:

• Why criticism—even mild—can trigger rage and retaliation
• How catching on to their games threatens their entire façade
• The deep fear of exposure, and how they scramble to avoid it
