Red - Series: “Is Taylor Swift a Covert Narcissist?”

Red - Series: “Is Taylor Swift a Covert Narcissist?”

I’m a covert narcissist and working towards being a better person to myself and to others. I’ve created this podcast because after I was diagnosed with my personality disorder and have accepted the facts, I wanted to learn more about it. I’ve found dozens of books written by or for victims of narcissistic abuse, but have found almost no help for Covert Narcissists themselves. I understand why that is. Most narcissists will not acknowledge their narcissism or are willing to change. It’s also my understanding that Covert Narcissism is a somewhat recent discovery, and experts are still trying to figure out how to effectively help people diagnosed with the personality disorder. So I decided to use my insights to on the one hand give victims of narcissistic abuse an unfiltered view into my brain and maybe help them heal, but mostly to reach out to other Covert Narcissists who are trying to be less toxic. Welcome back to the Covert Narcissist. Wow - Season 3! And I promised something special for this season. I’ve been going back and fourth about doing this, because I don’t want to stir up Swifties and cause rage. Disclaimer: I am a massive Swiftie myself. I know all the songs by heart, I’m that person who searches for clues and easter eggs in Music Videos and public appearances and I will see her on tour. No one wants to hurt her reputation less than I do. But this is a Podcast about covert narcissism. And in her song anti-hero, a line caused my attention: “Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism?” We know that Taylor is a terrific songwriter and most of her songs are based on her personal experience. She also said in her Midnights Mayhem, and I quote here: “"We all hate things about ourselves, and it's all of those aspects of the things we dislike and like about ourselves that we have to come to terms with if we're going to be this person. So I like 'Anti-Hero' a lot because I think it's really honest." With that in mind, let’s go down this rabbit hole. Let’s assume Taylor Swift did not mean to call herself a Covert Narcissist for fun, but that she is indeed a Covert Narcissist. In Season 3, I want to dedicate each episode to an album by Taylor Swift, scanning her lyrics for covert narcissistic clues. I’m only using the original albums, no re-recordings or bonus tracks from deluxe versions etc. Of course all of this has to be taken with a grain of salt as with any piece of literature, things are open to interpretation and what I might see as a clue, holds to someone else a completely different meaning.

Jealousy and envy

Jealousy and envy

Today I want to talk about jealousy and envy. I believe both are fundamental human feelings, usually associated with fear of losing someone or something. I’ve heard that some people claim to not be jealous or envious AT ALL, but I fail to believe that. I think of myself as a moderately jealous and envious person. After all, it’s their loss if they leave me for someone else. And envious? The hot bodies? Nah, don’t want to have that. It’s too much work. People should be envious and jealous of me! Boy, am I wrong. There’s SO MUCH to unravel. Buckle up! I’m CRIPPLED with jealousy and envy, I just never realized it. Hi. I’m a covert narcissist. They say Narcissistic personality disorder is a lifelong mental health disorder and hard to treat, mainly because most Narcissist will not acknowledge their Narcissism and because even if they went to Therapy, there’ll be a point where they’ll start manipulating the therapist. My story is slightly different. After a traumatic event in 2021 I’ve done a lot of soul-searching, meditating and journaling. This helps me look back on all the times I felt hurt, reflect on it and realize that I was often times the one causing the pain. If you are a victim of narcissistic abuse, this podcast might either trigger you or help you understand. I’m not a therapist, this is purely my attempt to contribute to healing.

Birthdays

Birthdays

Hi. I’m a covert narcissist. They say Narcissistic personality disorder is a lifelong mental health disorder and hard to treat. After a traumatic event in 2021 I’ve done a lot of soul-searching, meditating and journaling. This helps me look back on all the times I felt hurt, reflect on it and realize that I was often times the one causing the pain. This is how it works: In each episode, I will first tell you of a situation as I would tell my friends - usually playing the victim. In the second half I will dive deep into what actually happened and why I was in the wrong after all. If you are a victim of narcissistic abuse, this podcast might either trigger you or help you understand. I’m not a therapist, this is purely my attempt to contribute to healing. In this episode I’ll talk about birthdays. Why I thought my birthdays were altruistic, but actually we’re all about me.
