Ep 05 - Narcissism & Self Doubt | Decoding Narcissism & NPD for the Indian Diaspora

In this episode, Pinkal Panchal sits down with Tapasvi Patel to decode one of the most misunderstood and misused terms in mental health today i.e., Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Because NPD doesn't always look the way the internet tells you it does. And in Indian homes, Indian marriages and Indian families, it looks even different from what the West describes. They talk about: What NPD actually is and what it isn't Why "narcissist" gets thrown around so loosely and why that's a problem What the 5 clinical traits of NPD really look like in real life How narcissism shows up differently inside Indian families and relationships The difference between someone who is difficult and someone who is dangerous What gaslighting actually feels like from the inside How to trust your own emotional reality when someone keeps telling you you're wrong What to do if you think you're in a relationship with someone who has NPD If you've ever been made to feel like you're too sensitive, too dramatic or simply imagining things this episode is for you. 🤍 🎙️ Guest: Tapasvi Patel Co-Founder at Collective6Events Founder at @truetoyou.designs 🎙️ Host: Pinkal Panchal - Marriage & Family Therapist Instagram: @pinkalpanchal Community: @whatsthebigdeal.wbd — 📲 Follow What's The Big Deal: Instagram → @whatsthebigdeal.wbd YouTube → @Whatsthebigdeal_wbd — 🔔 Subscribe & hit the bell to get an update for every new episode #WhatsTheBigDeal #narcissisticpersonalitydisorder #narcissist #npd #gaslighting #PinkalPanchal #mentalhealthindia #indianfamily #indianmarriages #issues #indianrelationships #toxicrelationships #emotionalabuse #indiandiaspora #relationshiptherapist #podcastindia #youarenotalone #newlyweds #narcissism
