Rigid thinking and what-about-ism are seriously linked.
Know someone who is rigid in their thinking? They are RIGHT and that’s all there is to it? And, if you don’t agree with them, you’re wrong…and, that there is something wrong with you?
Hijackals® do that! Even entertaining your thoughts or feelings for a hot second is not on their playlist. Learn how pervasive this is so that you can clearly see it happening and make good decisions about the relationship.
What-about-ism relates directly to rigid thinking. People who are narcissistic convince themselves that they hold the only true and right opinions, judgments, perspectives, and objectives. No one else is right. In this episode, I talk about why this is SO important to narcissistic Hijackals of all stripes. Do you recognize these in the relationship you have in mind just now?
