In this captivating podcast episode, I delve into the intriguing topic of narcissism and explore why some individuals like yourself find people with narcissistic traits attractive. Throughout the episode, I focus on the fragile sense of self that narcissists possess and how they employ self-inflation as a defense mechanism. Together, we examine the underlying reasons for this attraction, such as the allure of perceived success and the glimpses of vulnerability that narcissists reveal. We also explore the early stages of a relationship with a narcissist, where grand gestures and attention create an enticing façade. I encourage you to reflect on your own experiences and question the true basis of your attraction. By gaining a deeper understanding of these dynamics, this episode aims to shed light on the complexities of relationships with narcissistic individuals and empower you to navigate healthier connections.
