KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Name it…
• … And then take away it’s power and control
• Is it true?...
• … Of course not!

That is the narcissist test, right? If you can go into a relationship with someone and say no to them and they say, okay, thank you for letting me know. That's, you know, that's a good sign. But if they're trying to manipulate you into liking strawberry when you're like, no, I like chocolate, stop it. If they get mad at you for claiming you like chocolate, and then it’s all this whole passive aggressive thing – that’s a toxic relationship. Rebel. Rebel girlfriend! Rebel and run!
