About this listen

In this week's episode of Psyched! with Dr. Seth, clinical psychologist Dr. Seth Meyers serves up the main psychological dish of narcissism — specifically, why people often feel like the narcissist acts confusingly oppositional toward them. Dr. Seth addresses what's psychologically motivating this apparent Devil’s Advocate behavior. To start the episode, he shares a related quote often (mistakenly) attributed to Mark Twain, and he ends with a highlight of a Mary-Chapin Carpenter song that perfectly embodies the frustration many feel in some type of relationship with a narcissist.
