Intimacy and Narcissism: Why the Two Rarely Mix

Episode Overview

  • Narcissists avoid intimacy due to fears of abandonment and shame
  • They lack empathy and view love as a tool for gaining supply
  • Intimacy threatens their need for control in relationships
  • Their distrust and paranoia hinder genuine emotional connection
  • Understanding their perspective provides validation for survivors of narcissistic abuse
Intimacy is not a word in their vocabulary. It is an alien concept they only know how to use against you.
Why do narcissists shy away from intimacy? In this episode, Danish Bashir, a seasoned expert in narcissistic abuse recovery, dives deep into the heart of this perplexing issue. Danish unpacks the fears and insecurities that drive narcissists to keep emotional closeness at bay. You'll learn about their need for control, the shame they carry, and how their version of 'love' is far from what most people experience.
By exploring the lack of empathy and their constant quest for validation, Danish helps listeners understand why intimacy feels so alien to narcissists. This episode isn't just about identifying these behaviors; it's about offering survivors the clarity and validation they need. If you've ever felt confused or hurt by a narcissist's avoidance of closeness, this episode will shed light on those dark corners.
Tune in for a compassionate and insightful look into the complex world of narcissistic relationships and take another step on your path to healing.
