The Gentleman Narcissist: Lessons from the Blind Man on the Beach
The narcissist is so gifted in being able to intuitively sense what it is that his victim wants more than anything else, and then they provide that to hook them, they hook them and then reel them in.
Ever met someone who seems too good to be true? In this episode of N.A.R.C. Troopers, host Prajinta Pesqueda unpacks the concept of the 'Gentleman Narcissist'—those charming, courteous individuals who use their charisma as a weapon. They may seem perfect on the surface, but their real aim is to draw you in for their own gain.
Prajinta likens them to a 'blind man on the beach,' a metaphor that reveals how these narcissists, much like someone who has never seen color, lack a true self and must mimic others to feel complete. This episode dives deep into the tactics these individuals use, such as mirroring and future faking, to manipulate and control their victims. Prajinta shares practical advice on recognizing these behaviors and finding your own voice amidst the chaos.
If you're looking for a clear lens to understand narcissistic abuse and actionable steps for recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt guidance.
