  • Narcissist knows best, knows it all, and is always right.
    Perceives himself as infallible and omniscient. Knowledge emanates only from the inside (intuition and confabulation, internal object, failed othering).
    Magical thinking.
    Information from the outside suspect because people are either stupid or malevolent and cannot be trusted.
    Lacks curiosity about other people and life except when goal-oriented.
    Constricted curiosity.
    No learning, only syllogisms and deductions (internal rhetoric). Infinite knowledge base to draw on.
    Impaired reality testing reframes all data to conform to cognitive distortions and biases and avoid dissonance (internal confirmation bias).
    Knows best and always right.

    The lack of curiosity. This is the red flag I constitutionally couldn’t ignore.
    Then the years of studying the scientific observations of what I finally began seeing and that was right in front of me the whole time. Fortunately I discovered Doctor Professor Sam Vaknin and have studied his intensely now for years.

    Sam Vaknin speaks the TRUTH. This is incredibly insightful, relevant information, especially for people who have to deal with NPD close ones. Narcissists are completely broken inside but it doesn't always appear that way from the outside. The more I understand all the mechanisms and insanity of it the less I suffer emotionally from being subjected to it. Thank you.

    In the dance of love, we once did twirl,
    With promises whispered, in a precious world.
    But shadows lurked in corners, unseen and deep,
    From a childhood scarred, where dreams did weep.
    His charm was a mask, hiding wounds so raw,
    A past filled with pain, leaving him with a flaw.
    Seeking validation, in every glance and word,
    His heart closed off, his emotions stirred.
    I tried to reach out, to heal and to mend,
    But the walls grew taller, a fortress to defend.
    His love was a puzzle, so hard to decode,
    A reflection of a past, on a lonely road.
    With empathy and care, I held on tight,
    Hoping to break through, to the inner light.
    But sometimes love's not enough, to fill the void,
    In a heart that's been hurt, and emotions destroyed.
    So I walked away, with tears in my eyes,
    Knowing I couldn't fix, the pain that lies.
    For love's truest form, should uplift and heal,
    Not drown in the past, where shadows steal.

    Once again fascinating, logical, and cohesive information! Of all of the info that I have discovered on this subject, your lectures are extremely informative!! I thank you so very much! Knowing The psychological aspects of this disorder, has helped me learn!! I’m in therapy now and dealing with my own trauma from childhood and your lectures are an immense aid! The fact that “ there is no other “ to the narcissist helped me to no longer personalize what I allowed to happen in my relationships with narcissists! It is absolutely fascinating and macabre !!!Thank you thank you thank you!!!

    Wonderful video -- thanks, Sam! Reminds me very much of a documentary on Max called "Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God". Virtually the same thing happened to my covert narc mother; that particular belief structure seems to validate everything narcissists already believe about themselves and gives them a moral framework to justify their actions to themselves and everyone around them. "My intuition is always right, my emotions are facts, because I'm LITERALLY God."

    I always wondered whether my father believed his own lies. This helps me answer that question. The eldest of my three younger brothers knows he’s lying, sometimes, but not always. He has a narrative about all of us, and will tell me my memories are wrong. This is the reality in which you have to deal with him. Your truth is irrelevant. In fact, he’s hostile toward it, and anything else that doesn’t fit his self-induced fantasy.

    Hello; I am currently reading your book and every page confirms observations I'd made for years about an individual. One demented example of his "intuition", in my case, was him strongly suspecting our son was not his. It wasn't even plausible, as at the time of his conception, we were together 24/7 for months, which he should've remembered, with his titanic memory. Was I surprised when he started denying the Holocaust and claiming Covid was a hoax? Not exactly.

I would say, if you don't know something please ask and then we can be on the same page but year and year (24 years) he STILL did not ask and still did not learn from the EXACT same issues. He made the same incorrect inferences over and over.

    If there's no learning would a narcissistic academic consider the writers of all those books studied and mainly the ones they agree with an equal?
    Or inanimate and internalized, like an inner voice until proven otherwise?
    Maybe if they meet them in person they automatically perceive them as a part of themselves and therefore someone who is supposed to automatically like them or compliment them in some way? (or maybe they think 'they must be some distant relatives of mine-genetically 90+% similar to me and almost as perfect as me, therefore they hold all the facts'?)
    Otherwise their studies, their facts become false and cognitive dissonance occurs?
    I wonder what's going on in their minds.
    Do narcissists have a tendency to basically act like fanboys/fangirls in academia over someone they agree with?

Since I am playing along to avoid having to deal with his fallout tactics, but I don’t give him any real satisfaction of adulation and occasionally call him for his pointless lies about his “non-existent private life”, he must be going mental not pushing me away! 😅 Because he needs my services. Very sad. I have to keep reminding myself he is mentally sick to maintain my compassionate side present.

    Does he actually believe that he's always right or does he need to have the final word about everything to control others?
    Exactly, when presented with the evidence they will find a way to disregard it or manipulate the circumstances/story/others as much as possible to prove he's right.
    Is it correct to say he got stuck in his/her infant stages of development where the child hasn't developed awareness of the other? And that's why they behave as a child, using people and things for his wellbeing and being unaware of others' wellbeing and having tantrums when things/people are not like he/she wants them to be with a lack of regard for context where they explode?
