If you're new here I have NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) and I've been in therapy for the last 8 years learning how to deal with it and live a better life. From the start I've offered you the rare POV of a diagnosed narcissist but NOW I'm switching it up a little bit. I'm interviewing others that are dealing with their own mental health journeys and those that have dealt with toxic relationship dynamics as well. I'm still sharing my POV just sharing others as well.

Long before I started speaking online about toxic relationship dynamics, I had to make the incredibly painful decision to cut off one of my best friends because of the toxic relationship he refused to walk away from.In this video, I share that personal story and break down the emotional toll of watching someone you care about choose toxicity over friendship. We discuss why your advice isn't landing, how being the "caretaker" enables the cycle, and why setting boundaries with a struggling friend is sometimes the only way to protect your own sanity.
