I think our culture needs some general awareness and “antibodies” against Narcissism, and emotional manipulation in general. People seem generally unaware of, and as a result easily manipulated and controlled by people with these behaviors. I only became conscious of it after reading a book about communication where I learned how emotional manipulation worked- and then realized I was in a relationship with someone doing this to me, and had been completely oblivious for years.
Once I understood how it works, I can easily spot people including politicians using these quite simple manipulation techniques, and I feel quite stupid for not figuring it out on my own at a younger age.
- pizza 2y agoWhat's the book?!
- _yb2s 2y ago“When I say no I feel guilty” which is about assertive communication, which is essentially the opposite of emotionally manipulative communication. Also the blogger “The Last Psychiatrist” has good information on Narcissism.
