Doctor Ramani.
Welcome back to call her daddy.
Thanks, Alex.
It's nice to see you again.
So good to see you again.
To remind everyone you are a clinical psychologist and the go to expert when it comes to narcissism.
Today I want to talk through how to differentiate a healthy relationship from a narcissistic relationship in dating.
Before we dive in, what are some common misconceptions you hear regarding narcissism?
So the common misconceptions are things like, this is someone who's in love with themselves.
They're really vain.
This is just somebody who's just all about the selfies and the likes that they're super confident.
Those are the things that we hear.
So it's really kind of all we do is we focus on the superficial part of it or the kind of attention seeking part of it, and we miss all the rest of it.
Because people will often think, why are you so bothered by someone who just wants a lot of attention or just likes to wear really nice shoes?
And by making it that kind of superficial, kind of mirror gazing person, we miss a lot.
Yeah, that's really helpful, because I think sometimes, like, someone will look at a singular trait that does not mean someone is narcissistic if they are just selfish.
Like, that's not just singularly the thing.
