Dr. Deniz Ahmadinia | Trauma Specialist on Instagram: "Emotional immaturity and narcissism may look similar, but they exist along a spectrum. Both can stem from deep-rooted shame and unmet emotional needs, often originating in childhood. Emotional immaturity typically arises from unresolved pain, a lack of emotional regulation skills, and an inability to process emotions in a healthy way. It can involve guilt, shame, or a lack of empathy, but emotional immaturity still leaves room for growth and change when self-awareness is developed. On the other hand, Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) sits at the extreme end of this spectrum. NPD involves a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, a need for admiration, and a complete lack of empathy. Narcissists often use defense mechanisms like manipu

Tonie Nicole Lopez on Instagram: "Wake up people pay attention and educate yourself:What would cause a narcissistic collapse, and what does that look like? narcissistic collapse comes when a narcissist’s false self briefly meets their true self, and the two shake hands. in other words, they’re trapped and there’s no way to get out of whatever you’re accusing them of. it may look like you have them on the run, but look again. they will never admit they’re wrong. They will never admit to whatever you’re accusing them of. so instead, they shut down. I used to call it going into a “coma”. My ex would stare off into space with a blank look on his face. He would stop responding to me completely. At this point, it felt like he was “fading”. He would completely shut down. This always happened

Julie Menanno on Instagram: "Sometimes those with avoidant attachment can appear to have a lack of empathy when that’s not usually the case and the problem is with communication. Since narcissism is in part defined by a lack of empathy, the two conditions can be lumped into the same category…..But they are not the same thing. Is there overlap? Sure. Everybody has an attachment style, so it stands to reason that one’s attachment style will overlap with all sorts of other “labels.” Anyone with narcissism (or other personality disorders) will have an insecure attachment style, but the VAST majority of those with insecure attachment are not narcissistic. Same is true with the association between BPD and anxious/disorganized attachment. Here are some differences between narcissism and avoidant

Anyone Anywhere on Instagram: "@jon_saves_relationships 🚩 This is what a narcissist really does 🚩 A narcissist will make you believe that your reactions are the problem, not their actions. They manipulate situations to avoid accountability, making you question your own responses. 😔 They can’t see anything wrong with their behavior because their world revolves around themselves. 🌍 Often, they believe they deserve more, and when life doesn’t meet their expectations, they direct their anger and frustration at you. 💥 It’s all about blame-shifting and making you feel responsible for their dissatisfaction. #CouplesTherapy #RelationshipAdvice #SaveYourMarriage #HealthyRelationships #TherapistTips #mynarcissist"
Tony Overbay, LMFT on Instagram: "Can narcissists show integrity? - This new episode will be out later this week on The Virtual Couch Podcast youtube channel- subscribe to stay tuned and I hope you find it helpful! - Narcissists, people with narcissistic traits, and emotionally immature people struggle with integrity because it requires self-reflection- which is a threat to the narcissist- who is operating from a false self. - The false self is like this delusionally “perfect” mask the narcissist created long ago as a defense mechanism. It’s an identity they’ve built to present themselves as impressive, in control, or above reproach. Why do they do this, you might ask? - It all goes back to childhood. At a young age, they learned that showing vulnerability or weakness was not safe
