In this talk, we learn that the most reliable way to identify a narcissist isn't by analyzing their words, but by listening to your own body. Narcissists are deeply disconnected from themselves, chasing ego and status, and that internal friction creates a field of tension that your body picks up on instantly.

I'm going to teach you in 10 seconds how to always spot a narcissist.

It's very important to know who the narcissists around you are because they will cause you harm and it's hard to know how to spot them like that.

You can spot them like that if you pay attention to this.

Around a narcissist there will always be tension in your body.

Narcissists are disconnected from themselves.

They're chasing ego.

They're chasing status.

They want to be better than other people.

They want to exploit other people and they can seem very nice and they're often attractive and they're often charming so you don't always realize what's going on.

The way to understand what's going on is to notice if around a certain person there's tension in your body.

If there's tension in your body around a person consistently,

That person is a narcissist.

Narcissism has a lot of tension in it because you're constantly trying to be something that you're not or to seem a certain way and usually you can feel at ease with people.

You can feel relaxed around people.

If you really feel for no reason that you are tense,

Look very closely.

The person you are spending time with is 80% probability a narcissist to 20% probability that your body is picking up on something else that's off but something is off if you feel unsure or tense around someone.

The body doesn't lie.

The body has a lot more data points than your logical mind.

Pay attention to the body.

Trust the body and if you know someone in your life is a narcissist,

Whether it's a relative,

A parent,

A colleague,

Create as much distance as you can.

As a child,

We have no choice who we hang out with and who we spend time with.

As an adult,

You get to choose who you spend time with or how much distance you create with people.

Create maximum maximum distance with people who are narcissists in your life because you cannot thrive when your life is closely connected to anyone who is very narcissistic.

You're welcome.

Be self-compassionate.

Create distance with people who are not good for you.
