When you see these manifestations of their illness, beware! They are warning signs that need attention.
Have you ever felt uneasy around someone but couldn't quite put your finger on why? In this episode of N.A.R.C. Troopers, Prajinta Pesqueda breaks down four subtle yet telling signs of manipulation used by individuals with Cluster B personality disorders. These include Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), Anti-Social Personality Disorder (sociopaths), Psychopathy, and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
If you've encountered the smirk, the stare, the sulk, or the silence, you might be dealing with someone who follows a disturbingly common playbook of emotional manipulation. Prajinta explains how these behaviors serve as red flags. The smirk is often an unconscious reveal of their manipulative intentions. The stare is a tool to make you feel small and insignificant. The sulk seeks to draw out your sympathy and attention, while the silence punishes you for perceived wrongdoings.
Recognizing these signs can be crucial in understanding and navigating toxic relationships. The episode doesn't just stop at identifying these tactics. It dives into how different types of narcissists employ these manipulations in varying ways. For example, mid-range narcissists might lean heavily on sulking to get what they want, whereas greater narcissists are more calculated, using these behaviors to extract emotional fuel from their targets.
Prajinta collaborates with mental health professionals and includes personal stories from survivors, offering a well-rounded perspective on these manipulative tactics. Whether you're directly affected or trying to support someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights into recognizing and dealing with these red flags. Tune in to learn more about how to protect yourself and make informed decisions on your journey to recovery.
