I am 68 yrs old, recent removal of my C5 with previous shoulder surgery. I am still healing. He stole all my money. I can’t afford to hire someone. I am awaiting judge to decide. The biggest pain is I really loved this man. He threw me out like I was trash. I did nothing. Now he is begging me back. No WAY!

    I am 76 years old, and I have had a lot of narcissists in my life. I couldn't figure out why I was attracting so many. I was in therapy for approximately 7 years, with 3 different therapists. The first one told me that my family background was one of the worst she'd ever heard of in her practice, so it makes sense that I continued to bring these demons into my life, because both of my parents were narcissists. Her diagnosis of my family was validating. I was also married to a monster of a man, who love bombed me into the relationship. I managed to get a divorce and I detached myself from both of my parents. I didn't attend either of their funerals. I have become more and more savvy about who I choose to be in my life, and listening to this video was extremely helpful. When you're used to not getting your emotional needs met, it's hard to practice self care. Nevertheless, I'm much healthier than I used to be. What's particularly difficult for me to do is to not feel shame about the crappy treatment I allowed in the past. Playing the victim allows me to make excuses for not accomplishing the goals I want to achieve. It's allowing me to procrastinate on building a new life for myself. I'm determined to move forward in order to live up to my potential as a writer and a human being. I spend too much time in the past, which keeps me stuck. Thank you so much for your words of wisdom.

      I think we think of our past when it concerns abusive behavior because there is some part of our mind trying to make sense of what happened. I think we unfortunately have to accept we will never know what goes on in their mind and how they knowingly chose to behave.

    With this situation, it saddens me deeply because I have witnessed the dynamics in three (3) generations as it is inherited. Yes, the trouble and damage it has caused, it is very overwhelming. It took me ages to finally realize that my father had it, my sibling has it and only recently i discovered that one of the adult children displays the trait quite profoundly. It took me ages to finally realize and recover from the turmoil that I experienced when growing up. It was hard, bloody hard.

    I’m 70. This was the best content I’ve seen on narcissism. I started at birth with a malignant narcissist mother and enabling stepfather. Had this information been available in my early life, it would have helped me so much!! I wandered alone, married narcissistic men, trying to understand my life with no understanding of anything. Counselors did even know this stuff! Bless you, sir. The more we are educated, the better chance we have of getting better. ❀ I think I’m still hurting, even now, because I retreat to being alone. I trust no one. Life has shown me that I’m the only one I can count on. I don’t want it to be that way but it is the truth that that is how I am.

I used to feel I could not trust people again, but I realized the fact that I really have so much love to give and it is not being reciprocated by these people in my life. They've proved it time and time again. Yeah, they throw you a bone every once in a while, but their true intent will always be shallow, fake and hurtful. I deserve more and so do you. Our power is in our ability to genuinely love.

    Once I understood and I was working on getting out, I started doing things that would trigger the Narc. It kept him in a perpetual state of irritation. It drove him away long enough to give me some peace. I never felt safe, and I wasn’t, but it gave me space. It only took a few months away to start healing (hands stop shaking, inability to sleep, panic attacks and facial ticks, profuse apologizing) all stopped.

    Thank you. I am a 29 year old male living with my parents. My mother is a hopelessly addicted fool to my dad's narcissistic abuse dating back to way before my birth. I am currently at a stage where I am trying to gather enough money to get out on my own in a studio apartment somewhere on the west coast. The damage, manipulation, disrespect, hurt, confusion and many other things experienced in a narcissistic household truly are devastating. It is incredibly hard to explain to others what it is lie if they have not experienced it.

    I love how you hold everyone responsible in a relationship. I have always done so too, in my mind. There is a reason why I keep attracting and being attracted to the same type of toxic person. And I need to learn more about MY part that I play in these relationships in order to heal and change my thinking. Learning about narcissism is only fighting half or less of the real battle for a more happy life.
    The victim role is counterproductive to personal growth.
    Your channel is the only one I've found that thinks like I do: what was my role and why? How can I recognize and take responsibility for my toxic patterns that I keep repeating to my own detriment?

    The smirk of admiration and pride when they destroy you, and you being you, react w emotion(ie cry).
    Thats the time something really stuck into the pit of my stomach that I couldnt deny anymore or justified it anymore.
    Also, you are so right on boundaries. The day I started placing boundaries, the rage came out right after the shaming didnt work and I stuck to my boundaries.
    The problem I have now is my son, isnt even in my life anymore, yet he is fixated on still trying to destroy me. He is using blasphemy my name and character now, to anyone that will listen and believe him. I constantly reem myself w the what if I just continued to take it? Could I have taken the shame and kept the peace? Maybe, he is right, I am the problem? Maybe I am the Narc? Maybe I caused him to become this deamon because I am a closet deamon? It is so destructive, and I have to force myself to see the truth through the haze. I watch the videos I have, and the memories I still have that keep replaying in my head, just to keep ahold of the truth.
    I find that even when I cut him off finally, I dont allow myself peace. I am trying to do the work and figure out why I deep down dont believe I truely deserve love and peace. Why ai allowed the abuse to go on and take blame for what wasnt mine. I have sat my son down and apologized, and sincere apologie, If whatever I did in his child hood made him feel abandoned or hurt, that I was sorry. I am not perfect, but I wanted us to come together and start to create a motherly son bond. He always agreed, and had me fooled w his small tear in his eyes. I put my trust in him again, and it wasnt long that he broke it again, and when I begged him why he did it again? He promised me last time, didnt he remember? It was always "I didnt say that". Or my fav line " maybe thats how you thought I meant it, but I didnt confirm thats how I meant it"
    What does that even mean? Who thinks about wording things like that? When it went to physical abuse, I decided to take the steps out no matter the result. I couldnt continue to stay in the abuse anymore. I have been pointed the finger at, lied about, slandered, judged and condemmed on those lies. If I am honest it sucks, and I cry because it hurts me, but I cant revert back, and I regret nothing about finally seeing that I dont need to take on others consequences, its not my actions to speak for.

    About how they want you to dress, you triggered a memory of an old girlfriend who gave me a sweater. It was nice and I liked it except that it had a little aligator on the chest which I thought was kind of silly (I think Lacoste was pretty new to scene back then) and I carefully removed it, zero trace. Holy smokes was she ever mad, raged on about how much she paid, how it made the sweater what it was, how could I be so stupid.
    Years later I was out with a friend and ran into her and as you do I introduced her to my buddy to which she said: oh, my name isn't Beverly anymore, I changed it to Athena. I remember a kind of dead silence at that point, she was lucky we were polite enough to not burst out laughing, that came later. Too funny. We don't get to have too many light moments with those toxic types if at all.

    I am in the process of recovering but I need professional help, which I will search for, as soon as my grandson gets back to school because now, I care for him. At the moment, I have to deal with siblings who I believe are narcissists. They are very intrusive in my life and I generally fall for their antics and, later on, I realize I have shared too much information about my life with them. I believe their “genius” comes from demonic inputs that they use in order to cause distress in others. After I talk to them, I experience exhaustion and confusion and I am often questioning my actions, my abilities, and my sense of purpose and of common sense and decency. It has been a life long quest for self awareness. To change myself into a person who God intend for me.

He felt like he had won! His first ex-wife died of cancer a few years back, and he has even wished for me to end up dead at my own hands or his.

    I’m about 3mo since my divorce from a narcissist. This video made me laugh (at the truths), made me cry (at the truths), and validated what I knew
it WAS grandiose of me to think I could change him. What a dumbass I was. I did do exactly what you said
I tried to turn it around and make SOMETHING about me
which just made him worse. I finally had to end it.

    agree, i have one malignant and one covert narc in my old family, they always think they are rich and famous despite empty pocket$. Looks, dress, type of cars, 'face value' are the most important to them. they will test every border, when you get angry their favorite line is 'i'm just joking, why are you so petty?'. gaslighting and triangulation are common, their temper could easily explode whenever they didn't get what they want, just like a toddler. In rare family restaurant gathering, they could say things like 'these food looks so cheap, are they for human consumption?' and threw big tantrum when the waiter is slow to serve them.

    I don't know why, but I have an inborn instinct about people. I'm in my 80's. There are some people I just get a vibe about and just don't get involved with any more than necessary. Anyone who was too nice or tried to love bomb me immediately made me suspicious. I'm interested in the subject because of certain things going on today. I'm guessing that if your parents raised you with respect and instilled self-esteem you will not become a victim of a narcissist?

    You answered my question earlier meeting my own needs MYSELF. Right there accountability 101 self love self control and regulating my emotions in situations where in fact i am dealing with the same people who i have been avoiding theoughout my own healing and forgiveness of self by being Narcissistic. đŸ€Żi guess what i found discouraging was many opinions of narccisists and psychosocial personality disorders that are deemed incurable. I believe anyone can change if they really see how theybe hurt and affected the lives of their loved ones. I expected my family to listen to the same excuses for self.sabotaging thinking these were personal.attacks when i can see clearly that productige criticism and or realising and seeing your actions affect others and self this is very serious and can create big health problems along with many a failed relationships. If i had this support in the past Thankyou i am trying my best. Patience is key at this point in ky healing journey along with empathy for others mistakes including my own not ecluslding and playing victim just knowing the difference between the both. Amen Kenny

    Kenny can you please do a video on the ploys Covert Narcissists use to get supply? My mom is a CNPD and she pretends to be “the victim” of radio frequencies such as 5g & WiFi which she claims are harmful radiation (they made up this fake “condition” called “electromagnetic sensitivity”). I am an electrical engineer and have tried explaining what ionizing vs non-ionizing radios means but because I am her scapegoat she assumes she knows more about radio frequencies than an actual elect engineer who worlds with radios and radar (I work on ships as an ETO). She also claims to be “the victim” of condensation trails from turbine aircraft which she calls ‘Chemtrails’. She also claims gravity isn’t real and earth is flat in an attempt to get attention from absolutely anyone who will argue with her. My father (her scapegoat before she divorced him) is a physicist so mom tried convincing everyone earth is flat and gravity is fake and my dad is a silly physicist. In addition to CNPD and also has a lot of signs of BPD. We are mostly estranged.

      Interesting, paranoia and narcissism go hand-hand, as the grandiosity/self importance lend to feelings of ‘they’re out to get me’ ( like I’m THAT important/know SO much that ‘they’ should be concerned ).

This can mean verbally putting me down, making snide comments, and/or comparing me to others that she percieves to be immoral people i.e., "you're just like your mother, a hater".... again, she says things like this as a means to make herself feel morally superior to me,.

Rather than doing something else he lies to me saying he was on a bus when actually still close. I felt bed cause i was the one to blame. Knowing how busy the park was i said lets take the train and he wanted to walk. Once he relized it was closed for the night he started attacking me and stormed off and left the park. What shocked me more was the amout of things he attacked me for from the past. Thinking back i dont think he every really says hes sorry. But i said many times im sorry we didnt get on the ride lets do something else. We came late and the park is still open.

    I recently met someone , I was surprised I had some fond feelings for them , it was as I am turning a corner it seems , and I discovered I trust myself understand my capabilities, a relationship with this person ? No ! Narcisstic, No ! They are dismissive avoidant however , very gentle , they obviously have feelings for me authentic ones not feigned , but they let their gaurd down a little and there is the reaction , they shut down , and get distant , change how I feel about them no ! The relationship dynamic yes ! Boundaries, I will remain kind supportive but know a serious relationship with them , that would be a very lonely place , and I have needs and banking on potential? Look at the national deficit? I know she is doing the best she can do ! For her sake I pray she has a breakthrough, for my sake I will remain realistic! Her trust issues are not mine their with her , and hers ! What attracted me ? She has a calm and gentle spirit in the midst of struggle not a hurtful bone in her body ! A beautiful soul ! And this world is not kind to them !

      That is part of the problem with narcissists. They see nothing wrong with how they behave. They last 5 min in therapy. Once the therapist tries to direct them to addressing their issues, they tend to leave- then disparage the therapist. Narcissism is pretty much unfixable.

    4 questions to ask when you are unsure about someone who is currently involved in your life.
    assuming you are treating said person in good faith, the way you would want to be treated:
    1) what value do you bring to my life?
    2) if the situation was reversed, would you do as much if not even half for me, of what i have done and/or would do for you?
    3) if i stayed to myself, what would i miss about you?
    4) how do i feel when i am around you. do you make my life better or worse?
    if you have to ask these questions to yourself about the person in question, that's a serious big red flag.
    if you have these questions out loud to the other person in question, that's likely the beginning of the end of the situationship.
