Is the Narcissist Truly Happier with Their New Partner?
Episode Overview
Narcissists' initial happiness in new relationships is often a facade. Narcissists use manipulation to maintain their supply of adoration. Focus on your own healing journey rather than the narcissist's new relationship. Surround yourself with supportive people to aid in your recovery. Understanding narcissistic behaviour can help you move forward.
