We elevate billionaires, we elevate people on the basis of Instagram followings, but what we don't do is elevate people who do really good, simple work in their communities, people who are working with children in high-risk communities that have special needs. But we would rather elevate somebody who makes a billion dollars because they're lucky that that doesn't add up and that definitely fosters this epidemic.
Ever wondered if someone in your life might be a narcissist or even a psychopath? In this eye-opening episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', host Paul Gilmartin chats with clinical psychologist and author Dr. Ramani Durvasula. They dive into the complexities of these personality disorders, shedding light on how to spot the signs and protect yourself from toxic relationships. Dr.
Durvasula doesn't hold back as she explains how childhood emotional neglect, social media, and our culture at large contribute to the rise of narcissistic behavior. She highlights how society often rewards superficial qualities like Instagram followers or net worth, inadvertently fueling an epidemic of narcissism. One key takeaway from this episode is the importance of teaching children how to handle disappointment. Dr.
Durvasula warns that failing to learn this crucial skill can lead to adults who resort to harmful behaviors like substance abuse or self-harm when things don't go their way. The conversation also delves into the chilling power dynamics in narcissistic relationships. Narcissists often feel entitled to control others, showing little regard for the damage they cause. Recognizing these red flags is essential for anyone caught in such a toxic web. Throughout the episode, Dr.
Durvasula offers practical advice and resources for those seeking more information. Her book, 'Don't You Know Who I Am?', along with other recommended readings and videos, provide deeper insights into these troubling personality traits. Whether you've dealt with toxic relationships or are simply curious about these complex personalities, this episode offers valuable knowledge and support. Tune in for a candid discussion that could help you better understand and navigate the challenging behaviors of narcissists and psychopaths.
