The moment they try to relax, all the dark emotions they’ve buried start to surface, causing them immense discomfort.
Ever wondered why narcissists can't seem to relax? In this eye-opening episode, Danish Bashir, a certified clinical trauma specialist, dives deep into the restless psyche of narcissists. Danish explains that narcissists are constantly on the move because they cannot face their suppressed traumas and insecurities. The moment they try to relax, all the dark emotions they’ve buried start to surface, causing them immense discomfort.
This leads to an addiction to distractions and instant gratification, whether it's through buying new things, seeking attention, or indulging in other compulsive behaviours. Danish breaks down how this relentless need for distraction translates into chronic fatigue for those who live with or love a narcissist. If you’ve ever felt exhausted by trying to keep up with a narcissist’s pace, you’re not alone. Their inability to rest not only drains them but also impacts everyone around them.
They often ridicule others for needing rest, labelling them as lazy or unmotivated. Danish also touches on how the threshold for excitement in a narcissist's nervous system is set so high that they constantly need new and chaotic stimuli to feel satisfied. This makes them dopamine junkies, always chasing the next high. While this episode provides a lot of insight into why narcissists behave the way they do, it also offers comfort and understanding for those affected by such relationships.
Danish’s candid discussion helps you grasp the reasons behind a narcissist's constant need for activity and how it affects their loved ones. If you’re dealing with a narcissist in your life, this episode is a must-listen to help you understand their behaviour and find ways to cope. Why should you listen? Because understanding the root of these behaviours can be the first step towards healing and reclaiming your peace.
