It's really expensive to be happy when around a narcissist.
Ever wondered why a narcissist gets so riled up when you laugh? In this episode, Danish Bashir, a narcissistic abuse recovery professional, unpacks the unsettling reality behind this behaviour. Drawing from his personal experiences, Danish explains how narcissists, like his own father, often suppress their victims' joy because they can't experience it themselves. Narcissists might belittle, shame, or even physically harm their victims to stifle laughter and other genuine expressions of emotion.
Danish recounts his childhood, where laughter was met with severe punishment, leading to a lifetime of emotional suppression and social awkwardness. He emphasises that this jealousy stems from the narcissist's deep-seated insecurities and inability to connect with their own emotions. By controlling their environment rigidly, narcissists aim to create a stoic atmosphere where no one can show vulnerability. Danish encourages survivors to reclaim their joy and laugh freely as a vital step in their healing journey.
His heartfelt message is clear: it's time to break free from the chains of emotional suppression and rediscover the simple pleasure of laughing out loud. Ready to reclaim your laughter? Dive into this episode and start your healing journey today.
