91: Don't Rely on Labels

I was having a conversation with my friend the other day about what narcissism is and breaking it down. <p>She then started listing people and trying to figure out if they were a narcissist or not.</p> <p>This put me on alert because it was almost as if she was deciding if they were toxic, if they were worth her energy, based on her assumption of them being a narc or not.</p> <p>We broke this down some more and I reminded her that just because someone isn’t a narcissist doesn’t mean they’re not toxic. In fact, they could just be straight up horrible people.</p> <p>This was a realization moment for her and she asked me to do a podcast episode on this.</p> <p>I’m so incredibly grateful to not only have been trusted with this vulnerable conversation but to know that I’m able to create content that educates you on things that you truly need to know. Without that conversation, I wouldn’t have realized how important this is.</p> Are they only toxic if they’re a narc? Are they only awful if they have a diagnosis? <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>karleighlynne.com/worthyjournal                                                        karleighlynne.com/091</p>
