"If someone's not even capable of giving you that [belief], that is not someone who is your person."
How can someone possibly believe that charming, charismatic person could be a narcissist? This episode of The Shiftshow with Adriana Bucci tackles the complex and isolating experience of being a survivor of narcissistic abuse. Adriana dives into why it feels like no one in the narcissist's circle believes you, and why it's crucial to focus on your own healing journey.
Narcissists are masters at manipulation, often targeting only a select few for their abusive behaviour while maintaining a facade of kindness and charm to others. This selective abuse leaves victims isolated and doubted by those around them, as people often fall for the narcissist's act. Adriana explains the roles of 'flying monkeys' and enablers—those who unwittingly or willingly support the narcissist's narrative, making it even harder for victims to find validation.
She stresses the importance of recognising these dynamics and understanding that those who can't offer basic belief and support are not your people. While it may feel lonely, Adriana assures listeners that there are communities of survivors who understand and can provide support and validation. With her characteristic bluntness and a touch of humour, Adriana offers listeners valuable insights into protecting themselves from toxic relationships.
Her advice is clear: focus on finding people who genuinely have your back and understand what you've been through. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with the fallout of narcissistic abuse and seeking understanding and community. Remember, you deserve to be believed and supported.
