Self-focussed Friends: What's Actually Within Your Control With Carly Taylor
About this episode
In today's world, it's easy to get caught up in labeling others as narcissists, but most of us are not qualified to diagnose. On today's Mojo Monday, Carly explores a more common phenomenon: friendships that are one-sided, where the other person consistently focuses on themselves and struggles to genuinely take an interest in yours.
Carly delves into Stoic philosophy, drawing from the teachings of Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus, to offer practical advice on how to navigate these types of friendships so they don't drain your energy.
