Narcissistic Times with Richard Grannon

If you were raised to feel like a burden, you may still hear that old “inner voice” telling you to stay small, stay quiet, and put everyone else first. Where that message comes from (childhood conditioning / inner critic / super-ego) and how to replace it with something stronger: clear boundaries, self-respect, and authority over your own life?

In today’s Narcissism News, we break down what a safe partner and a healthy relationship actually look like, especially if you’re carrying resentment, distrust, or trauma from past relationships.
If the pain from “what happened before” is bleeding into “everyone who looks like them,” it can quietly poison your next relationship before it even starts. We talk about:
Why gender resentment keeps you stuck (and how it mirrors broader prejudice patterns)
How covert contracts, bait & switch, and intermittent reinforcement trap people in toxic bonds
Why you can’t attract “safe” if you don’t feel safe inside yourself
The difference between nobility (emotional maturity) vs consumerist “what do you bring to the table?” dating culture
How humility and reverence create the foundation for stable love
