EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Alex chats with leading psychologist, Dr Mark Rackley, about all things ADHD & Narcissism. Topics: 00:00 Trailer 02:28 A broad question and not yet ADHD specific, but, what is a narcissist and is there a difference between a narcissist and someone with NPD? 06:48 Why do you think narcissism is such a big topic in the world at the moment? 08:27 Is genuine Narcissism or NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder for audience members) common and if so, why do you think that is? 10:10 What does a narcissist need to "survive" and what is it they’re looking for in life (and what are they looking for from people around them)? 14:20 How does a narcissist prey on someone and what sort of people are they looking to exploit? 16:30 Is covert narcissism different to the more mainstream narcissism we hear about and why is it particularly dangerous? 18:21 Are narcissists afraid of being alone and what - in general terms - do you think a narcissist thinks of when they are left alone? 20:00 What might the general timeline be for someone dating a narcissist and that dating turning into a serious relationship i.e how might narcissism show itself gradually in a romantic relationship? 22:04 What tricks does a narcissist use to keep you on their hook if they see you as part of their "narcissistic supply”? 24:05 ADHD Item 27:06 Washing machine of woes 33:09 Do narcissists know they’re narcissists? 34:24 At what point would a narcissist begin to become self-aware that they might indeed have a problem? 36:39 I need to voice some worries of my own! I’m on camera, I think I share some of the traits we've been talking about. I don't like being alone. I need praise to rid me of my RSD….do you think I’m a narcissist? How can I tell?! 39:48 How can I be sure that my traits are just ADHD and not narcissism? 43:09 Are there any other similarities someone with ADHD might have that are typical of a Narcissist, but might not be narcissism? 45:07 If someone has an ADHD partner and they are trying to figure out if it's ADHD, or if there is something more sinister at play, what steps can they take to help try to figure it out? 47:51 Is there a known cause for narcissism and if not, what do you think might be a factor that perpetuates it? 49:18 How to spot a narcissist 53:21 Can you ever change a narcissist and is it worth trying? 54:05 Can narcissists be successful professionally? 57:33 Successful narcissists aside, with the lower rungs of narcissism and perhaps the majority of the narcissistic population that aren't particularly high-functioning CEOs, what can that look like? Or to put it another way, what does the "everyday narcissist" look like? 59:40 Is social media causing narcissism, or is it just the perfect tool for someone who already is a narcissist?
