"If someone is truly ignorant of their actions, they won't hide their behavior."
In this episode, Cynthia Bailey-Rug tackles a challenging question that many have faced: is the person hurting you doing so out of ignorance or malice? With her personal anecdotes and thoughtful reflections, Cynthia dives into the murky waters of narcissistic behaviour and its impact on relationships. She shares her own experience with her mother-in-law, who initially seemed naive but later revealed more sinister motives. Cynthia's journey of understanding helps to untangle the confusion between ignorance and malicious intent.
You'll find the discussion both relatable and enlightening, especially if you've ever been caught in the web of narcissistic abuse. Cynthia explains that truly ignorant individuals won't hide their harmful behaviour because they don't recognise it as wrong. On the other hand, those acting with malice will go to great lengths to conceal their actions, especially in front of people whose opinions they value.
The episode offers practical advice on identifying the true nature of someone's actions, encouraging listeners to trust their instincts when something doesn't feel right. Cynthia emphasises that a person who genuinely doesn't know they're causing harm will change their behaviour once made aware, whereas a malicious person won't. Cynthia's insights are delivered with compassion and clarity, providing valuable guidance for anyone grappling with similar issues.
If you're seeking understanding and support in dealing with difficult relationships, this episode offers a fresh perspective that might just resonate with your own experiences.
