Very recently, I was inspired to learn more about 'Performative Kindness' - which of course is part and parcel of narcissistic behavior, but we are all capable of it! Here is the YouTube talk if you are also curious:

Recently a colleague shared a SM post about this and it piqued my curiosity. If ever someone has seemed 'nice' but 'off', pay attention to the transactional nature of what they are doing. More to follow!

Let's talk about Compassionate Detachment:

What is Compassionate Detachment? This is a way to respond to toxic people without being drawn into their negative energy and staying grounded in your authenticity. 5 steps to deal with difficult people.

1. 'Hold yourself in kind awareness as you mindfully CHOOSE the way you respond rather than being pulled into old patterns'.
2. See the other person for the wounded individual they are.
3. Visualize yourself responding differently to this person.
4. Remember that narcissists, in particular perceive you very differently than you think they do - so don't be concerned about what their reactions will be.
5. Stay grounded, calm and anchored into your integrity.
