Hey, it's Mal and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast. Everyone, today we have a killer episode. What are we talking about? Only public enemy number one, narcissism. What I've done is I've brought on the world's leading expert on narcissism to talk about this topic with all of us because you know what? We have to hear about it. We got to understand it and most importantly, we got to know how to protect ourselves from it because here's the truth. Narcissism, it's everywhere. And so here's what I've done. I have asked a friend of mine, Dr. Romany, who happens to be the world's leading expert on the subject of narcissism. She is so fascinating to listen to because not only has she studied narcissism, been in academia for over 20 years teaching about it. She's a best-selling author. She's the host of the podcast Navigating Narcissism. And I am so excited for you to learn everything that she is about to teach us today. So without further ado, welcome, Dr. Romany. It's so good to see you and thank you. So what is narcissism? Narcissism is a person who has a lack of empathy and I'm going to talk about or performative empathy, which I'm going to get to in a minute. Okay, so but they have inconsistent or low empathy. They're very entitled. They're arrogant. They're egocentric. They're chronically validation and admiration-seeking. They need to be in control all the time. They are poorly emotionally regulated, prone to strong shows of rage. If they're frustrated or disappointed or aren't getting in their way, they're very easily provoked and very thin-skinned. If anyone gives some feedback or criticism, they just rage very quickly. They can't regulate themselves at those times. They're very pretentious. They tend to be very superficial. I mean, the list goes. It's that kind of stuff. Narcissism, I find to be an absolutely fascinating topic. I believe that when you understand what it is and what it isn't and when you have tools, all of a sudden, there is a light at the end of the tunnel that you're walking down and you realize you're not crazy. You're around somebody who's making you believe you are. Correct. That's beautifully put. And I agree with you in a way what it is. I'm hoping to give people a guide to what they're dealing with and not an accusatory, "You're bad. I'm good way." But in more of this may not be good for me. So let's start at the beginning because people are fascinated by the topic of narcissism. The word is now thrown around all the time. Okay. So I even want to go to step zero from step one here to say narcissism is not a diagnosis. Okay. Wait, what? It's not everyone's like, "Don't diagnose people." I'm like, okay. I roll up to someone. I said, "If I called you stubborn, would you tell me I'm diagnosing you?" They're like, "No. If I told you you were agreeable, would you tell me I'm diagnosing you?" No. Then why are you saying narcissism is a diagnosis when it's not? It is a personality style, just like agreeableness, just like introversion. All of those are personality styles. Nobody's getting themselves all the be in the bonnet when we see those other things. Wait a minute. I thought that this was like a diagnosis. See,
