Number 3: When Money is Involved.
You do not know the real self of a narcissist until money is involved. Write that down. That’s when the mask falls off completely. They will sacrifice anyone, even their partner or their children, for money. Why? Because money is their god. To them, money is modern-day power, a way to control anyone. It reflects their greed, their envy, and their emptiness. You must watch how they fight over an inheritance, resent your promotion, or explode when asked to share. To a narcissist, money is never about security. It’s about superiority. When money enters a room, the mask of grandiosity evaporates, and their raw hunger for power is exposed.
The only thing a narcissist is loyal to is money. They hold it, spend it on themselves, but they will never share it, not even with their own family. We will see the rules bend in only one direction. Gifts come with strings. Loans come with interest in the form of control, and shared accounts are monitored like surveillance tools. When it’s your need, the wallet is empty; when it’s their status, the wallet is endless. They will sabotage your earnings with jealousy, undermine your career progress with backhanded comments, or demand tribute for doing the bare minimum. Money does not corrupt a narcissist; it reveals them.

Number 4: At The Dinner Table.
For most people, the dinner table is a place of warmth, laughter, and connection. But with a narcissist, it becomes a total battlefield. Food is never just food; it’s a stage for power, criticism, and extreme control. They poison the atmosphere with negativity, dragging down every conversation. What should be lighthearted turns heavy as they badmouth relatives, complain about co-workers, mock neighbors, or resurrect old grudges. Joy cannot survive in their presence without being contaminated. And every bite feels coated in bitterness. They do not focus on their own plate; instead, they scrutinize everyone else’s. Their eyes dart from serving sizes to portion choices, waiting for the chance to shame. “Are you really eating all that?” or “No wonder you can’t lose weight with that portion.”
These comments are meant to destroy you, humiliate you, to remind you that even the simple act of nourishing yourself is certainly subject to their judgment. Everyone walks on eggshells around them; they’re terrified of the next outburst. In a narcissistic family, the dinner table is never about connection; it’s about torture. What should be a ritual of comfort becomes a ritual of punishment. Every joke has an edge. Every silence carries rejection. Every gesture is loaded with dominance. How do I know? Well, I come from such a family, and I have shared a lot of things in my other episodes about how food used to get weaponized in our narcissistic family cult.
