#21 - Are You a Target? Signs You Might Be Vulnerable to Narcissistic Abuse

SUMMARY

In this episode we explore why some people may be more vulnerable to being in relationships with those with narcissistic tendencies and how that vulnerability often stems from early family dynamics, personality traits like people-pleasing or high empathy, and a lack of strong boundaries. But we also discuss how no one is immune: narcissists often use slow, calculated manipulation tactics that can affect even the most self-aware person. We unpack the traits commonly found in narcissistic behaviors, how these dynamics develop over time, and what it takes to build the resilience and awareness needed to protect yourself without losing your compassion.
