Ep. 71 Do Not Engage with a Narcissist


Listen Later

Are you emotionally exhausted from trying to communicate with someone who never seems to truly hear you? If you've been in a relationship with a narcissist, you've likely discovered it's one of the most frustrating and confusing dynamics you'll ever experience. In this hard-hitting episode, host Lynn Nichols delivers some essential truths that could save your sanity and your life.

The brutal reality: Narcissists are emotional vampires who extract your life force to fuel their own existence. They don't just dismiss what you have to say—they literally cannot process it due to their complete lack of empathy. This isn't about being selfish or self-centered; it's about a fundamental neurological inability to care about anyone but themselves.

In this no-holds-barred episode, you'll discover:

  • Why narcissists are skilled actors who don't truly care about you
  • The shocking brain science behind their complete lack of empathy (zilch, nada, none!)
  • How they dominate conversations and redirect everything back to themselves
  • The manipulation tactics they use to undermine your confidence and reality
  • Why their interest in you is always superficial and conditional
  • The hard truth about why they will never change

Lynn breaks down the 7 key reasons why engaging with a narcissist is completely futile, including their need for constant validation, conversation dominance, gaslighting tactics, and emotional manipulation. You'll learn to recognize the red flags of someone who never asks genuine questions about you because they simply don't care.

This episode delivers hard truths with compassion. If you're questioning whether someone in your life is a narcissist, this episode will give you the clarity you need to stop wasting your energy on someone who sees you only as narcissistic supply.

Bottom line: Run for the hills. Go no contact. Your emotional well-being depends on it.
