Heal Play Love University- Why Do Narcissists Talk So Much Hint It's NOT About Control
Is talking a form of control? Why Do Narcissists Talk So Much (Its NOT About Control) Heal Play Love University #controlfreak Narcissists talk a lot. A lot.
They engage in soliloquies on the regular and bore people to tears with long stories about themselves.
Then, there are the lectures. Oy! The lectures!
It's commonly thought that this happens due to premeditated tactics of control. But what if it's not always about control? (I mean, it definitely could be about control much of the time. Don't get me wrong.)
But, what if it's something else? What if the narcissism is an attempt to manage fierce anxiety or is a manifestation of anxiety? Would we respond differently?
Would we have more compassion? I don't know, honestly. It's a maddening habit, regardless. I’m just trying to explore the possibilities here.
