Narcissism and Impression Management, Why They Fool Everyone
About this episode
Why do narcissists seem so charming in public yet so cruel and manipulative in private? In this video we look at how narcissists use impression management to fool entire rooms of people. We explore why they make such powerful first impressions, how they use charisma, flattery, stories, and confidence to reel people in, and why so many of us fall for it again even when we know better.
Narcissistic people need validation. They need an audience. They shape a public persona that looks kind, witty, confident, and altruistic. Behind closed doors the mask drops. If you have ever wondered why everyone else seems to love the narcissist while you carry the wounds of their sarcasm, put downs, and emotional manipulation, this video will help you understand the two faces of narcissism.
You will learn about narcissistic supply, public vs private behavior, transactional charisma, and why narcissists are experts at reading social cues and crafting exactly the image they want others to see.
If you have ever questioned your reality or felt confused by how easily others fall for the narcissist, this insight will help you make sense of what you lived.
