Ever wondered why narcissists seem to be constantly on the move? In this episode, Danish Bashir, a Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Professional, dives into the peculiar behaviour of narcissists and their aversion to staying at home. Narcissists are driven by sensations, much like children excited about a trip to Disneyland. However, unlike innocent kids, narcissists are propelled by malevolence and an insatiable need for stimulation. Staying at home forces them to face themselves, something they dread.
Instead, they seek external validation and excitement to distract from their inner emptiness. Bashir explains that this constant need for new experiences and admiration is a coping mechanism for their deep-seated insecurities. He also distinguishes between extroverts and narcissists, clarifying that not all outgoing people are manipulative. The episode touches on different types of narcissists, including those who stay home but remain distracted through video games or social media.
