What is up daddy gang? It is your founding father Alex Cooper with call her daddy.

Dr. you are a clinical psychologist and the go-to expert when it comes to narcissism.

Today I want to talk through how to differentiate a healthy relationship from a

narcissistic relationship in dating. Before we dive in, what are some common misconceptions you hear regarding narcissism?

So the common misconceptions are things like this is someone who is in love with themselves,

they're really vain, this is just somebody who's just all about the selfies and the likes,

that they're super confident, those are the things that we hear.

So it's really kind of, all we do

is we focus on the superficial part of it

or the kind of attention-seeking part of it,

and we miss all the rest of it.

Because people will often think think why are you so

bothered by someone who just wants a lot of attention or just likes to wear really nice shoes and by making it

that kind of superficial kind of mirror-gazing person, we miss a lot.

Yeah, that's really helpful because I think sometimes like someone will look at a

singular trait that does not mean someone is narcissistic if they are just selfish.

Like that's not just singularly the thing.

Selfish is a common misconception like, okay, they're super selfish, they're narcissistic, narcissistic or a big one Alex is their cheater okay so somebody cheats on someone

everybody he's a cheater he's a narciss she's cheated that's a narcissist no people cheat and a lot of cheaters are narcissistic, but definitely not all.

And so we want to be careful because what you might have, listen, I mean, you know, cheating

I often say is sort of a crime of opportunity at times, right?

That people will say, okay, you know, you add too much to drink.
