I’m a Narcissist and This Is Why We Cheat

The Mental Healness Podcast · Nov 8, 2026 · 14m

Why do narcissists cheat, and what do they tell themselves to justify betraying someone who loves them? In this Mental Healness video, I share my perspective as a diagnosed narcissist on narcissism and infidelity, exploring validation, entitlement, secrecy, and avoiding accountability. I discuss how someone might rationalize cheating and why understanding those excuses does not make the betrayal your fault. This is a personal perspective, not a claim that every person with narcissistic personality disorder cheats or that everyone who cheats is a narcissist. Subscribe to @mentalhealness for…
