At some point throughout your dating history, you’ve probably
labelled an ex a ‘narcissist’, right...? Maybe they loved the sound
of their voice a bit too much or had a habit of putting people down
to big themselves up? Yep. Well, you’re not alone. These
days, the term is everywhere on our socials, to the point it kinda
feels like all of us are becoming narcissists. And, in some ways,
we probably are: our current dating culture basically encourages
self-obsession and selfishness — whether it’s how we curate and
obsess over our dating app profiles, our tendency to ghost each
other, or our sometimes misguided prioritisation of ‘self-care’
above all else. But what does it actually mean to be a
narcissist? What’s it really like to date one? And what impact is
our culture of egotism having on our ability to connect with each
other? Millie and Clare dive into all this and more on this
week’s episode, as we hear from a reader who thinks she might be
dating a narcissist right now, and one who already has… Have
you ever dated one? Or are you a little self-obsessed in dating (no
shade here!)? Let us know in comments, reviews, or over on our
socials @CosmopolitanUK. And hit us up to tell us what you want
Millie and Clare to chat about next. If you’re worried you’re
experiencing narcissistic abuse, you can find more information via
Cosmopolitan here, and can contact The National Domestic Abuse
helpline, run by Refuge, for free 24 hours a day on 0808 2000 247.
