    Perfectly describes a covert narcissist. Hard to spot if you "want to believe" that is a kind and considerate person, but once you put all pieces together (sudden violence, sinister remarks, extreme criticism that occasionally arise for no reason) you realise the wolf in sheepskin.

    I'd like to send a big hug to all empaths out there who survived the evil narc's destruction. You proved to be immensely strong because you're still here and most likely had to do it all on your own, since only those who faced them can fathom the extreme darkness and despair. It was tough, but you came out stronger, while the narc is stuck in hell.

    My narcissist boyfriend dumped me for someone else, and I was devastated. Of course, he completely destroyed before he dumped me. A friend of mine tried to explain to me that the boyfriend never did love me. My friend reminded me of all the terrible things my boyfriend did to me. I protested and I said how he did nice things once in a while. My friend said, "You were in a prison with a few pillows thrown in". Wow. Very true. My friend also said, "If you loved someone, would you treat them the way your boyfriend treated you? No.

      The bright side of that breakup is that you came to the narcissist realisation. Relationships come and go and yes, feelings of devastation follow like ripples in water, you are no different from anyone to go through this. Now get ahold of yourself rebuild that self-esteem of yours , real love is out there. Clean up around you (throw everything away that reminds you of the past) and work on yourself (exercise, be with friends, laugh etc). Keep in mind narcissists are everywhere, like fallen leafs before winter. I treat them as machines that are programmed to pretend to be human.

    When mum died, dad gave me a ring he'd bought for mum years earlier. I already knew there was a reason she kept it in her wardrobe and never wore it. I was there those years ago, the day he raged at mum on her birthday, then was there seeing her reaction next day when he presented her with the ring. Out of all the things mum wouldn't have minded me having of hers that held sweet sentiment, he gave me that meaningless ring. He was wickedly good at coded language. I didn't want it but accepted it to avoid triggering his rage. Then I sold it two days later.

      "You don't see what I see?" "That I caught on?" Because they're too busy being self-absorbed and hooked on themselves, and they look so rediculous and pathetic at the same time. You can't bother them when they are into their delusional, sick, selves. It's unreal. You could slip out of the room, and they will still be acting it out. That's something crazy to witness.

    I almost gasped with amazement at this perfect description of what has been my biggest barrier in this Video. Due to the impression and long sewed acts of amazing kindness and caring given to many in my community, you are left in complete limbo at home or even after leaving as to how to start explaining what happened in reality in the toxic home environment. The level of abuse and smugness as a result of this protective wall, still makes me feel like a black sheep whenever people sing their praises. I don't believe in hating anyone but am happy to understand these patterns described so clearly Danish. My first hero was my Indian Doctor Dr Sen whose face I saw each time I recovered from my first Epileptic Siezures , I loved his brilliance and grasp of command, you and Dr Ramani, prove yet again just how amazing our Indian brothers and sisters are. Thank you most kindly for your experience and brilliance. Deep thoughts and hugs to all who have been affected by this awful method and ruse.
