In this episode, we delve into a crucial topic for those navigating relationships: the differences between a covert narcissist and someone with a dismissive avoidant attachment style. If you’ve ever questioned whether your partner's distant behavior is just part of their attachment style or a sign of something deeper, like covert narcissism, this is the episode for you. We explore nine key differences between these two often-confused personality types, offering insight into how both can affect relationships. Learn how covert narcissists subtly manipulate and prioritize admiration, while dismissive avoidants are more focused on independence and emotional distance. We also discuss how trauma can spread from one partner to another and what it takes for someone to grow and change in a relationship. Whether you're currently in a relationship or reflecting on past experiences, this episode will help you distinguish between the two and decide what steps to take next.
