Understanding Narcissism in Manufactured Conflict

In this episode, we dive into the mind of a narcissist to uncover why they seem to thrive on conflict and chaos. Ever wondered why narcissists can turn the simplest situation into a battlefield? This behaviour isn’t random; it’s calculated, and today, we’re pulling back the curtain to understand what’s really driving their need for drama.

We explore key tactics narcissists use to create conflict, such as twisting words, exaggerating situations, and outright fabricating stories. For example, they might turn a minor misunderstanding into a full-blown feud, all while playing the victim. Sound familiar?

We'll also discuss why this manufactured conflict is essential for their control. Narcissists use conflict to manipulate, distract, and keep people on edge. Whether you’re dealing with a narcissistic partner, parent, colleague, or friend, understanding this strategy can help you recognise it for what it is and avoid being drawn into their games.

Plus, I’ll share real-life examples from my counselling practice.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clearer picture of why narcissists manufacture conflict and practical tips for protecting your peace. Tune in for strategies to help you step back, stay calm, and see through the chaos.
