@theyogacouple: Ash is acting out the role of someone who is undercompensating for a wound of Insecurity. She has past experiences that placed value on superiority, entitlement, and was most likely coddled or spoiled as a child. This has left her with a primary emotion of pride that is internalized and expressed subtly through her downplaying her need for admiration or praise. She subconsciously believes she shouldn't have to take real accountability. She often denies vulnerabilities and quickly deflects blame to people or external situations and portrays herself as the victim. She also uses sophisticated language and manipulated logic to maintain a feeling of superiority. She dismisses accountability and quickly makes the issue a "you problem" - attacking the reasoning and intelligence of the issue rather than the emotion and actual impact of the behavior. This is a coping mechanism for her insecurity and repressed desire for love and acknowledgement. A major healing step for her is to realize that vulnerabilities do not make you unworthy of love. Embracing vulnerabilities is a sign of true internal empowerment rather than external superiority and admiration. A supportive partner can help on this journey by seeing through their displays with empathy and reassuring them of their intrinsic worth. However, setting clear boundaries, challenging their dismissive perceptions, and encouraging honest and authentic communication is necessary. - for more guidance on how to heal this wound and support your partner, The Inner Work of Relationships is available on tiktok shop and Amazon! - arguments, narcissism, deflection, entitlement, victimization, blame, intellectual superiority, superiority complex, unhealthy communication, unhealthy couple, relationship issues, marriage issues, relationship advice, couples counseling, relationship book, The Inner Work #arguments #narcissistic #superioritycomplex #relationshipproblems #insecure
