This episode discusses narcissism in men and how it manifests in everyday life. Grandiose narcissists are the most stereotypical type, characterised by an inflated sense of self-importance and a constant need for validation and attention. Vulnerable narcissists, on the other hand, have a fragile sense of self-worth and are easily hurt by criticism. High functioning narcissists are more subtle, often coming off as confident and charming but still have a need for narcissistic supply. The speaker concluded by stressing the importance of understanding these different types of narcissism in order to identify and address any issues that may arise.

People pleasing and high functioning narcissism are closely related and it can be difficult to spot the narcissistic traits in high functioning narcissists. They are often successful and charming and present themselves as likable and empathetic people. They are highly skilled at manipulating and exploiting people for their own needs and desires. An example of a high functioning narcissist could be a successful businessman who is well liked by his colleagues but manipulative and exploitative in his personal relationships.

This podcast is not intended for people to diagnose others but to help listeners understand the traits of narcissism, so that they can navigate through certain situations in a work or family environment. Narcissistic men often have a sense of entitlement, believing that they are above others and deserve special treatment. The purpose of this podcast is to help people better understand the people around them and how to address certain mental health aspects they may come across.
