    I just left an alcoholic narcissist relationship that I was in and out of for 2 years. Trauma bonded I’m sure. When sober it was great but when drunk it was like jekyl and hide. I don’t know why but I still want to go back to her when I know it’s really a bad idea. I blocked her on Instagram but I sometimes look and she posts things to make me upset. I really have to stop falling for that narcissist.

    Happy birthday to me. He showed up early told me he lost his phone took off and left me sitting there waiting for him all day. Not once in five years has he even given me a card! I needed this. I thought he was a narcissist now this proves it. His excuse was he loaned all his money out yesterday and he’s too broke yet again. I think if he cared he would plan ahead. I got abused so badly by him via txt message yesterday too

      Socially inappropriate. Biologically on-point, from a trauma-informed perspective. Trauma does fuel narcissistic behaviors. And I'm sure she's experienced plenty and dished-out plenty. When someone's trauma becomes your drama, that's problematic. Fortunately, she won't be serving up anymore trauma or drama to those who figured out who and what they were dealing with...for years. Thanks for watching!

      You know her? And the many individuals, ministries, and businesses that she shamelessly used and later tried to destroy with national smear campaigns, triangulation, lies, court room manipulation, and more??? Proximity and patterns matter. And many of us who were in close proximity to her narcissistic behavioral patterns compared notes and disconnected, when it was clear who and what we were dealing with. Peace is priceless. Thanks for watching!

    I noticed the ex narc posted funerals on social media too. Pics with different families, getting t shirts made of the deceased, pics holding the obituary while posing, videos of balloon send offs & candle light vigils. It was a good number of funerals over the years. Hes very deceptive & causes alot of trouble & confusion all while secretly living with an incurable disease himself. I didnt understand any of this stuff until after leaving him.

    I was ghosted a month prior to my ex birthday. He reappeared 2 weeks before his planned party & asked can i go to the mall with him to pick out a bday outfit? I went & put money down on it. He pretended to be so grateful. Later, I saw the party pics on someone else FB page. He didnt even invite me. I felt so Stupid & Betrayed again. It was almost like he would think time means forget about it. He reappeared 2 months later acting hopeless...as if it didnt even happened! When his world start caving in, he wants help, sympathy, understanding. After I fell for it & got treated worse & decided to not deal with him anymore, one of his associates asked me why wasnt i at the party? I told her that he didnt give me any details...almost like he didnt want me to come. After, i broke it off with him, not even 3 wks later he posted a new relationship on social media. The associate told me that "new" person was at the party.

    Wow. Yes. Had never dealt with anyone like this lady. A co worker. She was 11 years older than me. She knew I had a soft heart for older people and she sucked me in and it was a horrible experience. She was very aggressive and a bully. I tried to respect her even tho she was wearing me out with her narcissist behavior and very moody ways. Then when I took a stand she got mad at me, stopped talking to me and blocked me on fb and blocked my number like I was some sort of animal after all I did for her. I was so hurt. It was horrible. Horrible. They suck the life out of you then discard you like trash. Later I started hearing stories from other co workers about what they experience with her too. She is a trip. Smh...but God delivered me from it all

      Hi! I'm so sorry that happened to you. It's frustrating when others don't see the narcissist for who and what they are. And yes, romantic relationships can be especially difficult to deal with. The narcissist's "friends" may have grown up in environments where this behavior was normalized. For those who realize who and what they're dealing with, such "friends" can become casualties of war. Navigating narcissists can disrupt your relationships and routine. Does your church offer online services? Multiple service days and times?

    👉❤When it comes to narcissists- they are one of the big reasons Jesus is coming back to pick up his people and children any moment now!🥰As He speaks through the prophets He is sickened by the world: lies, manipulations, spill of innocent blood. We are just waiting for Damascus to fall and Alaska to experience back to back earthquakes 7.6 and 7.3! We will see Germany and Russia exchanging missiles. Jesus spoke of it all through his prophets! 🙌❤😊 Events spoken of in the Bible are converging. Make sure you make Jesus your Lord and Saviour🙌❤He loves you like crazy!😍Trust in what He did on the cross for us! He died for our sins and then defeated the death by rising 3 days later! In the days of darkness make sure to stay inside!🙌❤🥹

    I had a long time friend of 20 years who I thought I was close with do a silent discard on me. Which was very weird, because I hadn't changed at all. I was still the same person I always was, but he got laid off at a job and the company kept me (we were working in the same place) and after that he became very bitter and sour on me. It seems he thought we were in a secret competition or something, which I wasn't aware of at all. It helps to view this as their problem, not yours. Narcissists aren't human. Yes, they inhabit human bodies - but they are the furthest thing from a human being. They are machine-like programs inhabiting a human body.

      Hi! I'm so sorry that happened to you. Sounds like your "friend" felt hurt/rejected by the layoff and couldn't handle your continued employment with the company. And that's not your fault or problem. You deserve to be successful in all areas of your life. Thanks for watching and sharing!

      ​@@iamlesleycain Thank you for the reply! I'm not sure if he's actually a narcissist, but the fact that he took that so personally makes me think he is. The one time I was doing "better" than him in his entire life probably drove him insane with envy/jealousy. I suspect he was probably a covert narcissist. I remember before the discard, I asked him for a ride to the dealership to pick up my car and during the ride I could feel very intense negative energy coming from him. I never ever felt anything like that before, even though our conversation was very surface level stuff. I could just feel his hatred for me beneath all of that. I'm glad I haven't spoken with the guy in almost 5 months. I'll keep my distance permanently if he tries to hoover me back in. Good luck on your channel growth!

    This was very strong, even imformative for me. I'v dealt with this type of enetgy all of my adolesence teenage and for a period of time some of my early twenties and thirties. I had to get away go non contact greyrock to the point of God isolating me. I know the patterns ghost lighting tactics mirrioring to the One Up and then turn your reality around to make it seem as if you dont know who you are . Please it was the best move i ever made in my life . Talk about liars they are pathological sick minded LIARS. This is not even the half. I am the Lost Cinderella Story. ( Really to sum everything up if you've ever seen the Carlina White Story . That my life with some other exceptions . Would love a conversation someday. i could tell you somethings you would be in tears. But God My My My.. It was Gods Grace and Mercy.

      Hi! They know what's up, and they'll warn you too. And some will watch and wait for your reaction when they "leak" these truths about themselves. It's like they're low-key waiting for you to figure them out; but they secretly hope you stay for the wild ride and meet their needs. Thanks for watching and sharing!

    Hmmmm.. could they be introverted? Or its an extrover specific trait?

    • @iamlesleycain
      @iamlesleycain Před 3 měsíci

      Good question. I think they could be either. An introverted benign narcissist would present as vulnerable, while an extroverted benign narcissist would present as grandiose. Although narcissists will present in whichever way meets their needs. The benign narcissist that I dealt with was an extroverted, grandiose, selfish, entitled, perky, annoying, mean girl, sorority-type. The point is that they're relatively harmless, yet hurtful, and easier to navigate than a malignant narcissist. Thanks for watching!

    Thank you for sharing this. I walked away from a superficial "friendship" earlier and i was able to tell her word for word in the end that she didn't deserve my friendship. "I'm busy" was her motto and I was not willing to be around anyone who made me feel less than who I am or that their time was more valuable than mine. She's a famous CZcamsr and a few weeks ago I noticed she had nothing to say to me when I asked her for her support and her feedback on a tv appearance I did. She was too busy to pour into me and reciprocate my kindness and my support of her.. It was always about her and her "brand". She often didn't reply to my messages and when she did, she kept it short. She comes across as though her fame of 700,000 is more important than actually nurturing a real friendship with me. I said my goodbyes today

      Yes! Narcissists will do things to infiltrate, endear themselves to you, and appear useful. But it's not really for/about you. It's for/about them getting their needs met. So, it does feel "off." Sounds like you prioritized your well-being, set a clear boundary, and removed yourself from a toxic situation. Thanks again for watching and sharing!

I woke up the next morning to find my things in a bag on my car. Then he made posts on fb and smeared me..twisting the story making ME look like the bad guy.

      Sounds like you removed yourself from a toxic situation, cut your losses, and set some boundaries. Narcissists hate losing control of other people and situations. So, they'll try to control the narrative and others' perceptions of you, through smear campaigns, lies, deflection, shaming, and blame shifting. They all do it. You're not alone or crazy. You're the prize. Don't take the bait! Enjoy your freedom and take care of yourself. Thanks for watching and sharing!
