They don't deserve to be put through that hell because they're already going through hell. They don't care about that at all. What do they care about? To make you run again. It's like a toy that was running, that was performing well as per their wishes, and suddenly the batteries are dead, so they're kind of beating it, trying to make it move again, but it's not.
Picture this: you're feeling under the weather, expecting a bit of TLC from your partner. But instead, you're met with a baffling mix of indifference and self-centered theatrics. In this episode, Danish Bashir dives into the unsettling reality of how narcissists react when their partners fall ill. Rather than offering support, they often turn the situation into a twisted competition for attention and sympathy.
Danish, a seasoned Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Professional, breaks down these behaviors, explaining why narcissists feel the need to overshadow your suffering, sometimes even pretending to be sick themselves. This episode isn't just about understanding these disturbing dynamics; it's about validating your feelings and experiences. If you've ever felt abandoned and emotionally isolated while battling an illness, Danish's empathetic approach will resonate deeply.
He shares personal anecdotes and professional insights, making this episode a beacon of understanding for anyone grappling with the emotional toll of narcissistic abuse during illness. Tune in for a compassionate exploration that offers both solace and practical advice on reclaiming your space to heal.
