The Fragile Ego: Why Narcissists Dodge Accountability
Narcissistic people see you as their subordinate. Once that's happened, any attempt by you to hold them to account is viewed by them as a break in the chain of command. In short, they have no respect for you.
Ever wondered why narcissists squirm at the thought of being held accountable? In this episode of 'Narcissistic Abuse Rehab', host Manya Wakefield dives into the perplexing behavior of highly narcissistic individuals when they're confronted with their actions. Manya sheds light on the concept of narcissistic fragility and how it fuels their avoidance tactics.

The episode also explores the black-and-white thinking of narcissists, who categorize people as either entirely good or completely bad. When their dominance is questioned, they often resort to narcissistic rage, inflicting psychological harm to protect their ego. Manya encourages listeners to share their own stories and emphasizes the importance of self-care in the journey to recovery.
