8 Essential Traits to Seek in a Partner After Narcissistic Abuse
Empathy is an essential ingredient of a deep connection and you cannot miss having that with someone. And if this is missing, the relationship is incomplete.
Starting to date again after experiencing narcissistic abuse can be daunting. In this episode, Danish Bashir, a seasoned expert in narcissistic abuse recovery, breaks down eight crucial traits to look for in a potential partner. Danish emphasizes the importance of patience and consistency—narcissists often rush things, so a partner who takes their time is a good sign. Respectfulness is another key trait, as narcissists typically disregard boundaries.
Danish advises being cautious of partners who might use your personal information against you. Empathy and selflessness are fundamental for a deep connection, while healthy dependence on each other fosters mutual support. Physical affection is important, but if it dominates the relationship, it’s a red flag. Danish also highlights the significance of honesty and long-term compatibility. This episode offers practical advice for anyone navigating the dating world post-abuse, helping you build healthier and more fulfilling relationships.
