Regular Guy Friday ep. 140 Avoiding Codependent Catnip

Happy Friday, Fellow Regular Guys and Gals. Why explaining is negotiating and why that's a problem. The difference between contextualizing and explaining. Why spending more time on 'incremental wins' means more than focusing on the big wins. Why there is no sustainability or infrastructure without incremental wins. Why narcissists aren't programmed to respect incremental wins. Why over-giving decreases empathy. The need to be needed and how being needed is Codependent Catnip. How a codependent fulfills a temporary (unhealthy) need to feel superior. The codependent/narcissist system is based on one not having boundaries in giving and the other boundaries in demanding. RGF Bonus: The Buddhist tale of saying less and staying silent (to others and even yourself) will vastly improve your health, happiness and life.
