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.

You’ll learn how a narcissist’s lack of genuine empathy gets replaced with cold calculation, why both their “kindness” and their cruelty often have hidden motives, and how this shows up in real‑life relationships. Lee also shares practical scripts for communicating with a narcissist, framing requests so they see a benefit, and protecting your energy so you don’t get stuck trying to “understand” them into changing. If you’re dealing with a toxic partner and wondering why they do what they do, this video will help you see the pattern clearly and stop taking their behavior so personally Book a Coaching Session: [ ⁠⁠⁠https://link.me/mentalhealness⁠⁠⁠ ]🔥 My Books: [ ⁠⁠⁠https://a.co/d/2WNtdKJ⁠⁠⁠ ] 🎙 Listen to the Mental Healness Podcast: [ ⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@mentalhealnesspodcast?si=AVcJfHa16HZReqHL⁠⁠⁠ ]","meta_description":"Every narcissist quietly asks themselves one core question before they do anything for you: “How does this benefit me?” In this episode, clinically diagno…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":791,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-mental-healness-podcast-526019/episodes/the-one-question-every-narcissist-asks-before-they-do-anything/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-mental-healness-podcast-526019/the-one-question-every-narcissist-asks-before-they-do-anything.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
