Episode 003: The Narcissist in the Mirror: What The White Lotus Reveals About Narcissism

Everyone thinks they know what a narcissist looks like. The White Lotus doesn’t just challenge that—it undoes it. This episode unpacks how narcissism hides in plain sight: beneath beauty, charm, and high-functioning personas. We’re not diagnosing characters. We’re tracing a structure—one that’s painfully real, hauntingly familiar, and easy to miss. Episode 3 of Doctor the Psychology breaks down narcissism from its structural core, and corrects public misinterpretation of the concept. Learn the cardinal rules of pathological narcissism, how to identify it, and how it belies a completely different personality structure from normal functioning.
