Gen Z avoids these major red flags when it comes to dating
Psychologist Dr. Ramani Durvasula recently warned her viewers to look out for “future-faking” in partners, a subtle control tactic employed by narcissistic types. Durvasula explained, “Future faking isn’t about talking about the future in a hopeful way, that’s just wishful thinking.
” “Future faking is trying to entice something from someone else on the basis of a future promise,” she continued. “Future faking is saying happen if the other person in the relationship just sticks around or does something.”According to Durvasula, the future-faker’s “goal” isn’t to make their promise become a reality. Rather, they want to keep their relationship together or get whatever it is that they want — adoration, status and otherwise — from their partner. One example of future-faking, according to Durvasula, is the narcissistic person telling their partner that they will move to a bigger house next year, as long as the partner doesn’t spend money on themselves over the next 12 months.Future faking is more than wishful thinking — it’s about “trying to entice something from someone else on the basis of a future promise,” Durvasula explained in a recent video.Durvasula called that tactic “utter tragedy for many people in narcissistic marriages.” “This concept of growing old together is a real roll of the dice,” she said. “Because for one person or the other, someone in the relationship is always going to get stuck doing some caregiving, whatever that looks like.” Durvasula continued, “I have had the experience of dealing with many, many folks who have gone through and are still in long-term narcissistic intimate relationships. 40-plus years, even 50 and 60-plus years.” She noted that society “didn’t talk about narcissism until relatively recently in the way that we do now,” so many people who are in their 40s and older “are tolerating toxic relationships but didn’t have any word or model for it.”Durvasula warns that many older couples are unaware of narcissistic patterns and have been “tolerating toxic relationships” for decades. One of Durvasula’s overall points from her video was that narcissistic people “will never” take care of their partner as they age, regardless of their many promises. “What could happen is the narcissistic person’s health could go downhill before yours, and then you will have the rather unappealing prospect of having to care for an ungrateful selfish person who has made your life miserable.” “However,” Durvasula added, “the far worse option and frankly the more likely option is your health will deteriorate first, and you will have to count on them to care for you,”I was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer at 44 — the 5 symptoms I ignoredCelebs imply LA mayor backlash is over race — not drastic cuts to fire department, being out of US during wildfiresPower up with one of the 10 best home generators for an emergencyTyler Perry calls out insurance companies for canceling ‘millions of policies’ ahead of LA fires: ‘Pure greed’Psychologist Dr. Ramani Durvasula recently warned her viewers to look out for"future-faking" in partners, a subtle control tactic employed by narcissistic types.
