About this episode
The episode discusses the characteristics of narcissism, the harm it causes, and personal experiences with narcissistic abuse and self-improvement.
Narcissism is a set of behaviors that are centered around an inflated sense of self to the point of grandiosity. These individuals often think highly of themselves, are very self-absorbed and can be very controlling and manipulative. But the reality is that they are hurt people who have built an entire personality and identity around the pain they carry. In this episode, co-hosts Ali and Tiarra discuss narcissistic characteristics and the harm it causes. Narcissists have received a really bad reputation in the eye of public opinion, and the stigma creates misunderstanding around what the condition truly is. Tiarra shares her experiences in dealing with narcissistic abuse and neglect, and what it has taken for her to explore these destructive behavioral patterns in herself. These patterns of behavior have led to things like perfectionism, a need for control, and self-sabotage. But as long as you are self-aware, you can do something when it comes to changing your worst behaviors. eui6x3hz For more guidance and tips for your own self-improvement journey, follow The Goddess Vibration podcast on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.
