Can a narcissist love you?

Fake Love and Flying Monkeys

In this week's episode, I answer the crucial question: "Can a narcissist love you?"

It's hard to believe that someone who professes to love you could be so cruel, but what's even more horrifying is the possibility that your entire relationship was built on lies and the love you felt was entirely one-sided. Understanding the complexities of narcissistic relationships can be overwhelming, but I'm here to help you make sense of it all.

I unpack:

1. What love means to the narcissist
   Discover the unique and often twisted perception of love from a narcissist's perspective.
2. What a narcissist means when they say, "I... LOVE... YOU."
   Learn the true intent behind a narcissist's declaration of love and how it differs from genuine affection.
3. Did they ever love you?
   Explore whether a narcissist is capable of true love or if their emotions are merely a facade.
4. How to differentiate between "LOVEBOMBING" and genuine affection
   Understand the signs of love bombing and how to distinguish it from someone who genuinely wants to make you happy.
5. Do they love you if they only make you miserable a small percentage of the time?
   Delve into the confusion of intermittent positive reinforcement and its impact on your perception of love.
