The Narcissistic Paradox: Why We Keep Calling It Them When It Is Also Us!!!

Today's episode is not about narcissists. Today's episode is about the narcissistic paradox: the fact that we keep saying the problem is them when the issue also lives within us—in our attachment wiring, our nervous systems, our culture, our spiritual cravings, and our private incentives. Because let’s stop pretending: if narcissists caused the entire problem by themselves, then they would not keep getting invited back into our lives. People do not merely “run into” egocentric partners. People orbit them. People stay. People explain. People spiritualize. People romanticize. And then people act surprised when the outcome matches the design.
