A Narcissist's Underdeveloped Conscience

A Narcissist's Underdeveloped Conscience

Your conscience is that inner voice reflecting your values and morality.  Ideally it would be developed in the context of empathy and respect.  Narcissists, however, tend to lean toward one extreme or another regarding matters of the conscience.  They can be very rigid or they can be very loose.  Either way, relationships suffer.  Dr. Les Carter will break this down for you in this challenging topic.

The Trait That Eventually Reveals Covert Narcissism

The Trait That Eventually Reveals Covert Narcissism

Initially when you encounter a covert narcissist, you can be impressed by their seeming normalcy or charm. Living behind the veneer of the False Self, they have learned how to play the game of looking nice. But over time, one trait keeps showing up that alerts you to something more sinister. Being defined by selfishness and control, this pattern will let you know that you are in the presence of an unhealthy person.

When Narcissists Refuse To Accept Your Boundaries, Featuring Dr. Jamie Zuckerman

When Narcissists Refuse To Accept Your Boundaries, Featuring Dr. Jamie Zuckerman

Narcissists are threatened by you being distinctly you.  This means they predictably use distorted thinking when you declare that you deserve respect, that you should be able to follow your own plans.  Our guest, Dr. Jamie Zuckerman, explains how essential it is to know the intentions of narcissists as you then determine inwardly how you will proceed with your plans, with or without the narcissist's consent.

What Dominant Narcissists Don't Want You To Know

Many narcissists make it their task to establish dominance and power.  Dr. Les Carter explains, though, that such an effort is driven by many unresolved issues they don't want to reveal.  Even when they refuse to come to terms with who they really are, you can learn to see through their facade, determining to respond with a very different mindset.

Why Do Narcissists Have To Be So Right?

Why Do Narcissists Have To Be So Right?

A common identifier of narcissism is the inability to receive input, as well as a refusal to tune into others' feelings and perceptions.  Dr. Les Carter explains that behind such a pattern is a deeper issue...Narcissists have declared themselves to be the keepers of truth.  They must be right.  The more you can see through a narcissist's need to lord over you with their version of false correctness, the less inclined you will be to fall prey to their domination tactics.

Narcissists Are Defined By Psychological Laziness

Narcissists Are Defined By Psychological Laziness

A hallmark of the mature personality is the willingness to take responsibility for who you are.  Mature people understand that every stage of life presents challenges, and they welcome the process of introspection as they determine how to wisely respond.  Narcissists, however, refuse to do the hard work of finding insight and making adjustments.  Instead, their psychological laziness prompts them to look outwardly toward you, requiring you to adjust so they can feel satisfied.  Dr. Les Carter contrasts healthy introspection to a narcissist's shallowness, and encourages you to take the more fulfilling path.

Why Are Narcissists So Combative?

Why Are Narcissists So Combative?

The longer you engage with narcissists, the more they illustrate how internally conflicted they are.  But instead of using healthy introspection, they turn outward as they try to make you responsible for their personal turmoil.  Dr. C discusses this phenomenon by emphasizing that you are not required to enter into their combative games.  Instead, you can resolve to be a person who lives with well conceived initiatives despite their inability to reciprocate.

Why Narcissists Cannot Grow

If you are a healthy person, you know you are a work in progress.  You seek input.  You contemplate insights.  You embrace accountability.  Dr. Les Carter reminds you that such an approach is anathema to narcissists who instead will thwart others' efforts to discuss improvements.  As a result, they persist in all sorts of maladaptive behaviors.

Why Do Narcissists Need You As A Foil?

Why Do Narcissists Need You As A Foil?

In the best case scenario, as you build relationships, you will be honest about your strengths and your weaknesses.  Narcissists, however, are schemers attempting to establish superiority, and are not interested in honest relationships.  In fact, their posturing is done for the purpose of setting themselves up as the gold standard, with you being the less-than-adequate one.  That way, when the relationship eventually crumbles, you become the foil.

How To Interpret A Narcissist's Anger

How To Interpret A Narcissist's Anger

On the surface, narcissists can appear decent or cooperative, but that falls apart when tension and anger arise inside relationships.  Dr. Les Carter explains how narcissists carry many internal, dysfunctional patterns that show up in moments of conflict, so it is essential to know what you are up against.  Pulling back the curtain, he explains how to interpret a narcissist's blustery, non-cooperative moods so you don't make the mistake of assuming responsibly for their mismanagement of anger.

Central to the pattern of narcissism is an ongoing attitude of entitlement.  Dr. Les Carter breaks down this topic by explaining the many ways this trait impacts the narcissist's interactions with you.  As you clearly understand the lack of common sense associated with their entitlement, you can choose to step away from the "requirements" the narcissist wishes to impose.

Should You Fear The Narcissist?

Should You Fear The Narcissist?

Inevitably, when you have ongoing interactions with a narcissist, you learn that these individuals do not operate with positive intentions toward you.  So should you fear the narcissist?  Dr. Les Carter answers, yes and no.  You should have a healthy fear that prompts you to use realistic care and caution.  But, then he explains that they too harbor much fear, and it comes from an underdeveloped sense of Self.  That being the case, you need not fear their attitudes and pronouncements about your character.  Balance is key.

Covert Narcissism And Gaslighting Go Hand In Hand
