You don’t fall for a narcissist by accident — the signs are usually there from the very beginning.

In Part 1 of this two-part series, we break down how to recognize a narcissist before you’re emotionally attached, focusing on the early red flags most people miss. From charm that feels too perfect to subtle control, validation-seeking, and emotional manipulation, these behaviors often appear long before the relationship turns toxic.

If you’ve ever thought, “Something felt off, but couldn’t explain why,” this video will help put words to that feeling.

This isn’t about diagnosing — it’s about awareness, protection, and clarity. Learning to recognize these signs early can save you months or even years of emotional harm.

✨ Part 2 will go deeper, covering how these early traits escalate once attachment forms — so make sure you don’t miss it.
