8 Signs of a Circular Conversations from , Part 2

Being trapped in a circular conversation with a covert narcissist is dreadful!! It is the loneliest place on earth. You feel completely destitute and isolated. If you have ever experienced this, you know what I am talking about.

In these two episodes, I address and describe 8 signs of these circular conversations. Here is a quick list of those signs:

1. You find yourself teaching an adult about basic communication skills and basic human emotions.

2. You find yourself thinking, “If I could just find the right words, then he would stop treating me this way.”

3. These conversations are antagonistic and combative, verbal competitions.

4. There is no resolution in these conversations.

5. They switch the topic constantly, keeping you on the defense.

6. They play the eternal victim.

7. You walk away thinking, “What in the world just happened?”

8. They use the silent treatment inside the conversation, holding you in an intense silence and in knots.

In the episodes, I go into detail explaining each of these signs. Learning what they are and how to identify them helps a victim make sense of what is going on and plan a way out of the entrapment. In a future episode, I will address strategies to avoiding circular conversations, as well as exiting them once they get started.
