8 Signs of a Circular Conversations from Hell, Part 2

<p>Being trapped in a circular conversation with a covert narcissist is dreadful!! It is the loneliest place on earth. You feel completely destitute and isolated. If you have ever experienced this, you know what I am talking about.</p> <p>In these two episodes, I address and describe 8 signs of these circular conversations. Here is a quick list of those signs:</p> <p>1. You find yourself teaching an adult about basic communication skills and basic human emotions.</p> <p>2. You find yourself thinking, “If I could just find the right words, then he would stop treating me this way.”</p> <p>3. These conversations are antagonistic and combative, verbal competitions.</p> <p>4. There is no resolution in these conversations.</p> <p>5. They switch the topic constantly, keeping you on the defense.</p> <p>6. They play the eternal victim.</p> <p>7. You walk away thinking, “What in the world just happened?”</p> <p>8. They use the silent treatment inside the conversation, holding you in an intense silence and in knots.</p> <p>In the episodes, I go into detail explaining each of these signs. Learning what they are and how to identify them helps a victim make sense of what is going on and plan a way out of the entrapment. In a future episode, I will address strategies to avoiding circular conversations, as well as exiting them once they get started.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/covertnarcissism/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/covertnarcissism/support</a>
