  • In today's video Jill explains the top 5 most toxic argument strategies that Narcissists use on their victim to win every argument. The reasons that we enter an argument with someone, are completely different from the Narcissists. We enter into arguments in order to find honest resolution, so that we can fix whatever happened so something like that doesn't happen again. Narcissists see arguments as a competition and their only objective for engaging in an argument is to WIN. And this video is going to explain the exact toxic tactics that Narcissists use against you in an argument to win, when they are obviously guilty.

    I always got, “I was joking!” This from someone who never told a joke in their life. It’s all about them having cover for their hurtful remarks. They say something hurtful, then observe your reaction, so they can feel better. Sadism, pure and simple. They get off on hurting you. Do you want someone like that in your life? In fact, you want the exact opposite of that in your partner. Someone that has your back and supports your dreams and asperations.

      I feel like my mum has put up ( through sheer willpower of not going back home to her family with her tail between her legs, as I don’t think they approved of her choices,ie. Young mother(17) in Northern Ireland early 70’s. ). The narcisissism I and my mum endured and growing up any bullying I had my dad just laughed.
      Then because there was a family business vibe going on. Which I didn’t want to do. I ended up work an apprenticeship in low self esteem. No confidence and very little laughter. Even though ,with the rest of the world he is charm personified.
      My younger siblings didn’t experience anything like that themselves. So …
      I’ve been pummelled, pilloried,gaslight, embarrassed any superlative imaginable I’ve been through it.
      Bad thoughts, bad feelings =bad decisions + bad actions =. It’s hard to come back from that.
      However, I do know that not everyone in the world is negative. And I still consider myself a positive , and still learning and growing person who can finally learn to take experience from those negative moments and be super careful who I let into my life from now on. But my mother. She has to have super powers like Wonder Woman the resilience she has shown to be still married 49 years on. And still able to handle my dads shitty moods. The main reason has always been because he was Ill. He was diagnosed with chrohns disease at 19. Needed a colostomy bag fitted aged32, so he’s understandably going to be in pain and grumpy. So that’s been the case all my life. But my dad is 67 now passed retirement age but still works a as a floorlayer. Which is bloody hard work. So we’ve give him a pass all these years. As he’s a workaholic and looked after his family very well. Just not very pleasantly alongside that. I’d love to help b my mum understand the narcissistic tendencies and I always send her links. Just I’ve had a life changing operation that means I can’t do that type of work anymore I had to have my hip reconstructed. So I’m in a bit of reflective period in my life. Where at nearly 50. I have to find something to earn money that doesn’t involve heavy lifting of carpets Etc. I’ve always been quite a spiritual person and really I would like to look into that and see if that avenue is the one I should have taken years ago. Instead of being laughed at

    Mine you to correct every single thing I said and then review with me all the things I shouldn’t have said to other people such as something innocuous as the dishwasher broke and I had to call a repair person. Why? Because then people would know he didn’t know how to fix it
    But my fave was after he emotionally destroyed me with whatever and I told him how I felt this is the response
    “oh, it wasn’t so bad”
    Ugh absolutely disgusting
    I wanted to know if anyone else had the experience of their narc sub human ditching them when walking out side. Mine would walk two blocks ahead and every one in a while look back to see if i was there. Bizarre behavior.

He 'begged' me to stay and he got me in some kind of lock. I was gaslighted all afternoon and I couldn't get rid of it until he said 'you are so conflicted, I am smiley and in harmony' that I got up and cycled away. He started with an overload of texting. But it was only after 2 km that it dawned on me what had happened and I was exhausted. Blocked him everywhere. Now there is damage to me, but I have also become very sensitive and aware about it.

    When I told a narcissist that I used a particular cleaning product to clean a household item, they instantly ignored how clean the item was and instead told me that I did not use the product I used. If that’s not an attempt to manipulate my understanding of reality, then I don't know what is. It's amazing how they are hardwired to instantaneously default to manipulations, distortions, and unnecessary competitiveness. This cannot possibly be learned behavior; it’s in their DNA, as it is so natural for them to behave this way. I realize that many people disagree that narcissists are born with ("undiagnosed") narcissistic personality disorder.

    You are always so spot on! Thank you for your continuing validation for what we’ve suffered through, fought and left in an entirely different atmosphere! I never argued back with my egg donour, I just pulled out the email, recording, video etc. and showed it back. Even with company over. The end result was always the same; not even a minute in I was told I was a horrible person and off she stomped to her room, slammed both doors and refused to emerge. It was such a lovely break! As was the silent treatment. She hated she couldn’t beat me down. When she said ‘I’m not speaking to you!’ My response was ‘promise?!’, then walk away. Shame she broke my siblings and contributed to their self inflicted deaths. I’m finally to that brilliant point in my life that she truly means nothing to me. I’m the only remaining child so she can’t shatter me. She has no control and is truly non existent in my world. I laugh now at things that I recall because it’s just so pathetic. I allowed the wee lass inside to mourn, told her she did nothing to deserve such wretched treatment and I’ve been free for years. ❤ I help people now who are in such relationships and it’s so rewarding.

    At one point or another my father did ALL of these things. When I got accepted to college, my father (the narcissist) was hemming and hawing and taking forever to make his decision if he would help pay tuition or not. So my mom wrote a note to my aunt & uncle asking for financial assistance and sent it up with me when my father took my younger siblings and I up to their (aunt & uncle's) house for a family event. Towards the end of the evening, my aunt and uncle called the grown ups into a room, sat me down in a chair, and asked what this was all about; why wasn't my father stepping up? My father then did the "word salad" thing and shifted the blame to me, saying that I treated him like an ATM (I never went to him for money, it was his tool of manipulation), and I was unworthy of his help for this and that reason, etc.
    That experience was humiliating. I understand being blindsided and not knowing what to say in the moment as an observer, but not one person present encouraged or comforted me afterwards, except my aunt who hugged me and asked if I was okay. I drove home with my older brother (who was not in the room during that humiliation) and before I could shut the door to the car my father had the gall to hold the door and say loud enough for everyone else who was also leaving the event, "I love you," like he was the benevolent patient parent extending a golden arm back to the family flock of conformity.
    That memory of that humiliation was so significant; it was the beginning of the end.
    I made it through college and in my 20's grew into my own person. It took me awhile to find the courage to have a boyfriend and eventually I got married to a wonderful man who loves me the way I am, doesn't mind when I call him out, and can disagree with me without making me feel like a piece of crap for having a contrary opinion. My father is no longer in my life except when he texts "Happy Birthday" or "Merry Christmas", which is nice, but after everything... I won't let him in. He's never met my children except for when the oldest was 3 months old at his mother's funeral in 2015 and I hope he passes away before my children become aware that they've only ever met grandpa on daddy's side. (My father's 84, so there's a fair chance of that.)

    Conflation is the merging of two or more sets of information, texts, ideas, opinions, etc., into one, often in error.[1] Conflation is often misunderstood. It originally meant to fuse or blend, but has since come to mean the same as equate, treating two similar but disparate concepts as the same. Merriam Webster suggest this happened relatively recently, entering their dictionary in 1973.[2]
    In logic, it is the practice of treating two distinct concepts as if they were one, which produces errors or misunderstandings as a fusion of distinct subjects tends to obscure analysis of relationships which are emphasized by contrasts.[3] However, if the distinctions between the two concepts may appear to be superficial, intentional conflation can be desirable for the sake of conciseness and recall.
    In psychology, confabulation is a memory error defined as the production of fabricated, distorted, or misinterpreted memories about oneself or the world. It is generally associated with certain types of brain damage (especially aneurysm in the anterior communicating artery) or a specific subset of dementias.[1] While still an area of ongoing research, the basal forebrain is implicated in the phenomenon of confabulation. People who confabulate present with incorrect memories ranging from subtle inaccuracies to surreal fabrications, and may include confusion or distortion in the temporal framing (timing, sequence or duration) of memories.[2] In general, they are very confident about their recollections, even when challenged with contradictory evidence.[3]
    sometimes this is whats happening and when dealing with cluster types there is trauma still present. to which npds are part of the fight type survival types and also avoidant to fearful avoidant so when they get upset especially if bpd when they cannot regulate their emotions this is bound to happen

      I've heard so many hateful generalizations aimed at Men, Women, Whites, Blacks, Jewish people, Boomers, Gen z,...

      The words we choose make a huge difference since words represent ideas and they have the power to affect people's lives at their core.

    My exgf used to argue by dragging up any past event and remove any context - physical & emotional.
    Her:”You hit me with a hammer”
    Me:”No, you fell over, put your hand out - unfortunately between the moving hammer and the nail I was busy hitting. I have you an ice pack, a massage, cooked dinner and was distraught despite it being you that put your hand in harm’s way”
    She’s recently conspired with a mutual friend (obvious not) to get her/their hands on some equipment they wanted for a gig. I’m an overthinker so figured it out and turned up at the gig - they looked like deer in the headlights. I should have just taken it all away there and then, but chose the higher ground at the time. With hindsight I should have just said “I’m done with you two, pack it up and bring it down to my car, I’ll be waiting.”
    And when it was safely in the car I should have closed with “Do not ever ask me for anything again. Now Fk off.”
    The problem is that I’ve been pushed to the edge by her nonsense, was hugely tempted to whisper “get tested, you gave me an STD” in her ear and stomp off… knowing damn well that it would have really messed up her night - but I’m still kind of hoping to get her back - I am a moron!!
    But she would have been the victim - she’s always been stunned when I’ve taken the stick she’s beaten me with and poked her back, but never once said “ah, I deserved that”

    LOGIC pushes back on ALL THEIR shady tactics: every single time the narc would pull some stunt-almost always specifically "set up" to draw me into some irrational conflict, I outsmarted them...THAT only poured "gasoline" on their frustration & RAGE. Repeated attempts got even less attention & more logic = amplified frustration & RAGE. I won't compromise myself for anyone...nor will I "feed" any attempt to degrade me or my capability or accomplishments... repeatedly trying to dump my degrees in the trash DOES NOT ELIMINATE THEM, but it IS very telling of how much they were intimidated by their very existence!!! Constantly repeating THE SAME LIES that were decimated by COURTS years ago isn't gonna "all of a sudden reverse a verdict rendered years ago." Their actions & words mimic a mentally deranged petulant CHILD... & I put them into a "straight jacket" waaaaaaaaay back. No relevancy... they're an annoying mosquito!!!🖤

    Narcissists feed of the reaction which for them are more important then the subject of matter in communication. (If you ever can call it that by deflecting themselves from authentic facts and matters of subjective individuated mind). "The mother ship"theory can be applied here and it would be interesting with a video applying these techniques to find pathways out. Have had an intensive week studying your videos and also saw resolutions to problems. Leaving the webb of confusion but still have forums to rely on while surviving the whole process.

    Narcissist quote -
    "You are holding on to anger. If what was done to you is so bad, I could never have achieved forgiveness about my situation. What you went through was nothing compared to what I went through. You need to practice forgiveness." - (Narcissist's reply to a person that is a virtual doormat already if the doormat tries to be anything else but a doormat.)
    No, learn not to be a doormat. Forgive yourself for not allowing yourself the personhood to call out wrongs done to you. Stop forgiving people who don't belong in your life in the first place. Learn to kick them out.
    Then forgive those who aren't CONTINUALLY violating your conscience.
    Narcissist quote - "But the Bible says forgive 490 times a day."
    Reply to them, "Go find someone to offend you 490 times a day. Report back to me after a month. I want to hear about your Heavenly revelations."
    Don't lose your faith.. That verse is not a call to be a doormat. Don't get your understanding from the narcissist. Jesus was not an enabler nor a narcissist.
    Mary Magdalene was not required to go a thank the person who gave her the expensive gift in an alabaster box. She was not told to allow them back into her life. She busted that wide open & put it on Jesus while she wept. He died to carry her burden. She was the first to see Him resurrected. She was never deceived by a lovebomb or word salad again.
