• If you see these signs, you're being fooled by a "nice" narcissist.

  The "Nice" Narcissist: How They Fool YouWhy They’re So Hard to SpotThey appear charming, polite, and agreeable—making them seem like the last person who could be toxic.Their public persona is drastically different from who they are behind closed doors.They make you feel safe, lighthearted, and cared for—until they don’t.The truth? Nice doesn’t mean good—it doesn’t mean they’re godly, loyal, or trustworthy.The Deceptive Traits of the “Nice” NarcissistSelective HelpfulnessTheir help seems genuine at first but later feels conditional—designed to keep you dependent.Instead of empowering you, their “help” leaves you feeling emotionally drained and indebted.They use kindness strategically—to be seen as the “good one” while keeping you reliant on them.Performative EmpathyThey know how to act empathetic—using the right words and body language to seem caring.Their empathy is a performance, not genuine. They mimic emotions like an actor memorizing lines.This creates a trauma bond—you keep waiting for the “real” them to show up, but they never do.Strategic SupportThey encourage you only when it serves their agenda.Once your growth threatens their control, their support fades—or turns into subtle sabotage.They make passive-aggressive comments like:“Don’t forget who helped you get here.”“Must be nice to have time for that while I’m doing everything else.”Their support was never about you—it was about maintaining power and control.Shallow ConnectionThey make you feel seen and understood at first, but their connection is always transactional.They mirror your emotions and interests to create an illusion of intimacy.But when you try to deepen the connection, they withdraw, deflect, or change the subject.This keeps you chasing a connection they’re incapable of giving.Why It’s So Hard to Walk AwayThe “nice” narcissist genuinely believes they are a loving, caring person.Their charm disarms you, their kindness hooks you, and their support keeps you reliant.They manipulate not with overt cruelty, but with subtle control.How to Break Free✅ Trust your discernment—If their kindness leaves you feeling confused or trapped, it’s a red flag.✅ Set boundaries—Protect your emotional and mental space.✅ Seek godly counsel—Turn to Scripture and trusted advisors for wisdom.✅ Invest in transformational relationships—Choose people who show up consistently and genuinely.Want to Go Deeper?📺 Watch: 5 Clues to Spot a Christian Narcissist📖 Download: Your FREE Narcissist Survival Guide https://krisreece.com/narcissist-survival-guide/

• 3 Signs God is Revealing They're Emotionally Immature

  FREE Narcissist Survival Guidehttps://krisreece.com/narcissist-survival-guide/Conquering Codependency Biblically Online Coursehttps://krisreece.com/conquering-codependency/Have you ever felt like you're the only adult in your relationship? No matter how much love or patience you pour in, they just don’t seem capable of handling life maturely.Maybe you’ve asked yourself:👉 Why do they act this way?👉 Is this narcissism? Or something else?Emotional immaturity can look a lot like narcissism, leaving you confused and questioning what you're really dealing with. But here’s the good news—God is revealing their immaturity to help you respond wisely, without losing your peace, faith, or even the relationship.Emotional Immaturity: A Child in an Adult’s BodyDealing with an emotionally immature person is like reasoning with a child who hasn’t learned how to handle life’s challenges. They react impulsively—lashing out, shutting down, or blaming others—because they lack the tools to process emotions healthily.While narcissists manipulate intentionally, emotionally immature people often aren’t trying to hurt you—they're just stuck in survival mode. And that distinction makes all the difference in how you should respond.8 Signs of Emotional Immaturity1. Blaming OthersThey treat responsibility like a hot potato—constantly passing it off to someone else. Instead of owning mistakes, they say things like:🗣 “If you hadn’t nagged me, I wouldn’t have forgotten.”📖 Galatians 6:5 — “For each one should carry their own load.”✅ How to Respond: Hold them accountable without taking the blame.2. Emotional RollercoastersTheir mood swings are exhausting—small issues turn into major crises, leaving you bracing for the next high or low.📖 Proverbs 29:11 — "A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back."✅ How to Respond: Stay grounded. Don’t absorb their emotions as your own.3. DefensivenessEvery conversation feels like walking through a minefield. Even gentle feedback triggers excuses, counterattacks, or denial.📖 Proverbs 10:17 — "Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life, but he who rejects reproof leads others astray."✅ How to Respond: Keep discussions solution-focused, not blame-focused.4. Victim MentalityThey see themselves as the perpetual victim, blaming others instead of taking responsibility.📖 Matthew 7:3 — "Why do you see the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye?"✅ How to Respond: Don’t get pulled into their narrative. Encourage self-reflection.5. Silent Treatment (Stonewalling)They shut down or withdraw when conflict arises, leaving issues unresolved.✅ How to Respond: Don’t chase them. Address the issue when they’re ready to talk.6. ImpulsivityTheir emotions drive their decisions, often leading to reckless actions or regret.📖 Proverbs 13:16 — "The prudent act with knowledge, but fools expose their folly."✅ How to Respond: Encourage thoughtful decision-making with gentle questions.7. SelfishnessThe relationship revolves around their needs, leaving little room for mutual care.📖 Philippians 2:3-4 — "Do nothing from selfish ambition… but in humility count others more significant than yourselves."✅ How to Respond: Set boundaries that balance give and take.8. ManipulationThey use guilt trips or victim-pla
