Navigating Narcissism

Narcissists thrive on conflict and manipulation, often baiting others into emotional battles. They create a dynamic where jealousy can flourish, using it to control and provoke their partners. Understanding the difference between normal and pathological jealousy is crucial, as it reveals deeper emotional stakes in relationships. Embracing feelings of jealousy can indicate investment in the relationship, while a lack of jealousy may signal detachment.
