Often, when we think of narcissism, we think of a guy who is arrogant, seeks admiration, talks and thinks of only himself and lacks empathy or care.

This is a classic view that causes many women to overlook what's going on in their relationships, so I wanted to identify the 5 types of narcissism that might be happening so that you don't feel crazy if someone in your relationship doesn't quite fit the classic idea, but you know something's going on.

In this episode, I expand on the five ways that narcissism can be exhibited are:

1. Overt
2. covert
3. antagonistic
4. communal
5. malignant.

And I explain how those behaviors show up in relationships.

Narcissism is growing in our society. We simply have more narcissists than we did 50 years ago and as a result it is very likely that you have come in contact with or are in a relationship with one.

It’s even more important to note that we all - yes, every one of us have traits of narcissism, which is really just an Ego State. That can make understanding it even more confusing.

because everyone is diagnosing those with whom they may be in conflict with- and especially their Exes, it’s important to get an idea of what is NOT narcissism.

In this episode, I give a run down of what a narcissist is and give 9 examples of common misconceptions of behaviors that do not necessarily indicate narcissism.

I also explain why trying to figure out it if you are in a relationship with a narcissist is the biggest waste of time and what you should do instead.
