Are Non-Monogamous People Narcissists?

Are Non-Monogamous People Narcissists?
<p>In this episode of the Evolving Love podcast, we dive into one of the most common accusations aimed at non-monogamous people: are we actually narcissists? We unpack the way the word “narcissist” gets thrown around online and in relationship culture, and explore whether non-monogamy is genuinely selfish or whether it can actually require deeper empathy, accountability and communication. Along the way, we reflect on our own experiences with validation, jealousy, manipulation, admiration, social media culture and the messy reality of being human.</p><p>We talk about the difference between healthy admiration and narcissistic validation, why modern social media increasingly rewards performative vulnerability, and whether non-monogamy exposes narcissism more clearly… or simply gets blamed for dynamics that exist everywhere.</p><p><strong>Evolving Love Links:</strong></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.evolvingloveproject.com/">Website</a> | <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/evolvingloveproject">Instagram</a> | <a target="_blank" href="https://evolvingloveproject.substack.com/">Substack</a> | <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/Il3QbXn7eRM">Youtube</a> | <a target="_blank" href="https://www.evolvingloveproject.com/retreat2026">Retreat</a></p><p><strong>Dive Deeper</strong></p><p>Evolving Love Retreat</p><p><em>Friday 18th Sept - Sunday 20th Sept 2026 </em></p><p><em>Yass Valley, New South Wales, Australia</em></p><p>In 2026, the Evolving Love Retreat <strong>opens to all.</strong></p><p>Whether you’re in a couple, throuple, or exploring solo, this retreat is for you.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

The Poly Pile On, Online Trolls & SBS Insight

The Poly Pile On, Online Trolls & SBS Insight
<p>In this episode, we reflect on what it has been like to take our relationship into the public eye after appearing on SBS’s <em>Insight</em>, where we spoke about jealousy, envy, and compersion. What followed was a flood of online commentary, much of it critical. We unpack what it feels like to have our relationship reduced to a two-minute clip and judged at scale, and we explore why people feel so certain in their opinions about something they don’t fully understand.</p><p>We explore how judgment is a natural human response, but how the way it’s expressed matters, and how much of what people say is actually a reflection of their own fears, experiences, or conditioning around relationships. We also share how we each process criticism differently, one of us feeling largely unaffected, the other needing to work through it more consciously. Through it all, we come back to what grounds us, our relationship, our values, and our sense of self, and why continuing to have these conversations publicly still feels important, even when it invites criticism.</p><p><strong>Evolving Love Links:</strong></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.evolvingloveproject.com/">Website</a> | <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/evolvingloveproject">Instagram</a> | <a target="_blank" href="https://evolvingloveproject.substack.com/">Substack</a> | <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/Il3QbXn7eRM">Youtube</a> | <a target="_blank" href="https://www.evolvingloveproject.com/retreat2026">Retreat</a></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
