Description

“Narcissist” is everywhere online — but what if you’re wrong? What if your partner isn’t toxic, just unavailable… or simply unhappy?

In this raw episode, we explore the difference between true narcissism and relationship incompatibility, asking:

  • How do I know if my partner is a narcissist or just emotionally shut down?
  • Am I unfairly labelling them to make sense of my pain?
  • What red flags point to real narcissism?
  • What if my needs aren’t being met, but they’re not abusive?

If you’ve ever doubted your judgment or questioned whether you’re “making them the villain,” this episode will help you sort clarity from chaos.

Stage: Bad Relationship.
