Vampires + Narcissists || Dealing with Aggression + Lack of Empathy

Описание: In this video I explore the idea of narcissism and vampirism in relationships. Narcissists and vampires alike are described as those that do not have the empathic ability to care for your needs and desires and put themselves first, often in aggressive, manipulative, and emotionally coercive ways. As I share in this video, I will be one of the first people to tell you it is more than OK to remove yourself (either physically or emotionally depending on the circumstances) from these relationships. I offer some real life examples of some recent relationships and relationship-dynamics I have removed myself from when I noticed that they started effecting me negatively. However, I go a little deeper into the recently rampant use of the words "vampire" and "narcissist" I have observed being used to describe a wide-variety of individuals. I'm curious how much of this usage is in fact simply name-calling and a way for us to dehumanize others so that we do not have to find compassion for them. I truly believe being angry with, putting up emotional blockades, removing ourselves from, and saying "no" to people who are showing up in our lives with aggression or coercion or force or manipulation is vital for our health and in fact helpful for those individuals to learn what is acceptable and what is not. But I wonder about the use of any words that we use for the purpose of separation rather than integration and if it may simply be easier for us to dismiss others rather than attempt to understand them. I would love to read your thoughts on this so feel free to post down below.
