A narcissist remains in a constant mode of crisis. The only difference here is that this crisis becomes more evident as they age.
Ever wondered if your narcissistic partner is going through a mid-life crisis, or if it's something more sinister? In this episode, Danish Bashir, a Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Professional, sheds light on the confusing intersection between mid-life crises and narcissistic behaviour. He explains how narcissists might exploit the concept of a mid-life crisis to manipulate and control their victims further.
Danish breaks down the typical signs of a mid-life crisis—such as lack of confidence, irritability, and a need for constant stimulation—and contrasts these with the more alarming traits of narcissism that worsen with age. He points out that while a mid-life crisis is often temporary, narcissism is a lifelong condition that becomes more apparent as the narcissist loses their sources of ego-boosting 'supply'.
This episode is filled with real-life examples and practical advice to help you distinguish between the two, ensuring you don't fall into the trap of excusing abusive behaviour as a mere phase. If you've ever found yourself questioning whether your partner's erratic behaviour is due to a mid-life crisis or something more, this episode will provide the clarity you need. Tune in to understand how to protect yourself and continue your journey towards healing.
