Narcissism comes in all shapes and sizes. Here, we explore the different types of narcissists and unpack how a narcissist's behavior plays out in interactions with our siblings. Often, we feel unfulfilled in a sibling relationship when conversations are one-sided, demeaning, deceitful, and even threatening, and these interactions can cause acute stress and even post-traumatic symptoms. Our goal is not to diagnose, but to map out the territory so that siblings can identify some of the characteristics of a narcissistic sibling. Ranging in severity -- from superficial to harmful -- relationships with a narcissist typically are plagued with an underlying sense of insecurity. In this episode, we examine how narcissism can make sibling relationships especially challenging.
