- Narcissism is an interpersonal maladaptive style, not a clinical disorder, characterized by traits like egocentrism, grandiosity, and lack of empathy.
- The narcissistic relationship cycle includes love bombing, devaluation, discarding, and sometimes hovering to show dominance.
- Effects of narcissism include initial confusion, self-blame, and eventual hopelessness, leading to regret, rumination, and euphoric recall.
- Vulnerable individuals include those with empathy, rescuer tendencies, and those from narcissistic or happy families, facing transitions or rushed relationships.
- Strategies for navigating include therapy, acknowledging pain, accepting feelings, and journaling.
- Resistant strategies involve understanding one's nervous system, healing, setting boundaries, resisting enablers, embracing solitude, and mindfulness.
- Rewriting narratives involves shifting focus, understanding influences, embracing authenticity, revising old narratives, considering forgiveness carefully, thriving after abuse, and sharing experiences to help others.
