Number 3: Publicizing Your Intimacy.
For a narcissist, nothing is truly private when it comes to you—not even your most intimate moments. They have a habit of sharing details about your s£x life, whether it’s with friends, on social media, or in casual conversations. By sharing private details, they’re turning your intimacy into performance, aren’t they? Something for others to admire. What’s even more damaging is how they disregard your feelings about it. If you express discomfort, they’ll dismiss it by saying, “Why are you so uptight? It’s not a big deal.” This response leaves you feeling exposed and powerless, unable to protect your boundaries or your privacy.
I do not want to go into the depths of this, but my father would discuss his s£xµal life in a public space like a salon, and that would make me want to crawl out of my skin. It is disgusting to even recall that. I also remember the other men laughing together, which I did not fully understand—like why they were laughing. I felt so violated on behalf of my mother, even though she’s a covert narcissist.
