Why "I'm Sorry" is a Death Sentence to a Narcissist.

Have you been waiting months, or even years, for a simple, genuine apology? As a diagnosed self-aware narcissist, I’m here to tell you why you might be waiting for something that is physically and psychologically impossible for a narcissist to give.

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the "Narcissistic Injury." To you, an apology is a way to heal a wound; to me, an apology is a total surrender of power. I explain why admitting fault feels like a "death of the ego" and why we would rather double down on a blatant lie than offer you the closure you deserve. If you’ve been struggling with the "Non-Apology" (like "I'm sorry you feel that way"), this episode will help you understand the mechanics of the narc-brain so you can stop seeking validation from the person who hurt you.

In this episode, we break down:

• The Ego Armor: Why saying "I'm sorry" feels like being physically exposed and defeated.

• The "Winning" Mindset: Why relationships feel like a zero-sum game where an apology equals a "loss."

• Decoding the Fake Apology: How to recognize blame-shifting, justifications, and "regret" vs. "remorse."

• Closure Without Them: How to give yourself the apology they never will, so you can finally break the trauma bond.

Stop waiting for them to take accountability. Take your power back by understanding their limitations.
