Thank you. Welcome to Narcissist Apocalypse, a podcast that gives a voice to survivors of narcissistic abuse.

I'm Brandon Chadwick, but my friends call me Chad, and thanks for tuning into this episode.

So what is a narcissist, you may ask?

Generally speaking, a narcissist is a person who has an excessive sense of how important they are.

They demand and expect to be admired and praised by others and are limited in their capacity to appreciate

others' perspectives.

And guess what?

Not all narcissists are made equal.

Yes, that is true.

Narcissism is a character trait that exists on a spectrum.

A small amount of narcissism is healthy, and a person with an unhealthy level of narcissism

may be called a narcissist. However, for the purposes of this podcast, a narcissist is a person

who exhibits narcissistic traits and or a consistent pattern of maladaptive narcissistic behaviors.

And now, with all that out of the way, let me tell you that we have a survivor on this

episode named Alex, and we'll get to his interview in a couple of minutes.

There's a lot of good tidbits in this interview. A woman and men will

resonate with his story. But first, I just want to thank everyone in a narcissist

apocloops community for listening to the show and sharing your thoughts by email, Instagram,

Facebook, Twitter. Our Facebook group is really hopping these days into all of you folks out there.
