Narcissists are like animals—they do it anytime, anywhere, without caring who is watching.
Why do narcissists walk around naked? It’s a question that baffles many who have experienced narcissistic abuse. In this eye-opening episode, Danish Bashir, a Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Professional and Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, dives deep into the perplexing behaviour of narcissists who exhibit shamelessness despite being extremely shame-avoidant. Danish explains how narcissists often disregard physical boundaries, walking around unclothed in their homes without any concern for their partners or children.
This isn't a one-off occurrence but a deliberate act that reflects their moral corruption and lack of respect for others' boundaries. Through personal anecdotes and client stories, Danish illustrates how this behaviour is part of a broader pattern of control and manipulation. One client shared her distressing experience of her partner coming home and immediately disrobing until the next morning, dismissing her concerns with gaslighting and counter-questioning.
Another example involved a narcissist bathing in front of his children, leaving the door open, showcasing a complete disregard for the impact on their developmental process. Danish highlights that narcissists’ actions often leave survivors feeling confused and violated, as these individuals twist basic principles into something entirely different to maintain control. The episode underscores that narcissists are fully aware of their actions and their effects on others—they simply do not care.
Danish invites you to reflect on your experiences and share them to help other survivors feel less isolated in their healing journey. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the bizarre and often distressing behaviours of narcissists and seeking validation for their own experiences.
