In this episode of Narcissist? I’m Asking for a Friend, Karen and Tyler dive into the complicated relationship between addiction and narcissistic behavior. They unpack why people who aren’t true narcissists may act narcissistic when struggling with alcohol or drug addiction—and how to recognize the difference. Together, they explore practical ways to respond with wisdom and boundaries when addiction masks itself in narcissistic patterns, and what hope looks like on the other side of healing.
