Fashitsho Podcast | Episode 13: "Spotting a Narcissist: Understanding Narcissistic Behavior"
Narcissistic behavior leaves a trail of emotional destruction that can take years to heal from. Have you ever bent over backward for someone only to have them act like you did nothing at all? Or dealt with a person who never—not once—admitted they were wrong about anything?
DJ Cornbread tackles this frustrating reality head-on, breaking down why narcissists can be so incredibly damaging to our mental health and relationships. Drawing from both personal experience and clinical understanding, she explains how these self-centered personalities operate—constantly shifting blame, refusing accountability, and somehow always positioning themselves as the victim regardless of their actions.
"You can feel like you went above and beyond to the moon and back," she says, "and they'll still find something lacking." This impossible-to-please nature creates unbalanced relationships where one person gives everything while receiving minimal appreciation or reciprocity in return.
The episode dives into the clinical aspects of Narcissistic Personality Disorder while providing 14 specific warning signs to watch for, including fantasies of greatness, exploitative behavior, and manipulation tactics like gaslighting. Whether you're currently dealing with a narcissistic friend, partner, family member, or coworker—or simply want to protect yourself from these relationships in the future—this raw, unfiltered conversation offers both validation and practical wisdom.
Ready to stop blaming yourself for a narcissist's behavior? Listen now, and learn why setting boundaries isn't just suggested—it's absolutely necessary for your wellbeing. Share your experiences in the comments; we're building a community that understands exactly what you're going through.
