Today's podcast delves into the dynamics of relationships with individuals having Cluster B personality disorders, discussing emotional sandcastles, tidal pools, and the concept of “future faking.” I reflect on the cyclical nature of these relationships, where positive moments lead to doubts about improvement, only to be followed by a return to negative behavior. I continue to emphasize the need to cut off contact with such individuals, likening them to a cancer that must be removed completely from one’s life. I stress the importance of not hoping for reconciliation or re-engagement.
