    DISCALIMER --- I am not a licensed therapist, and I don't have any professional credentials as a counselor. I am just a guy that has been a victim of narcissists, and I have witness other people being victimized. I created this channel to share my experiences, and shed some light on narcissism.

    Absolutely. Only an experienced target gets it. My narc brother is a shy, mild mannered, timid mouse in public. Behind closed doors he is a raging maniac who brilliantly plotted schemes to steal my sanity. I am 5 months nc now. No one can understand how I am the one so mean to my poor little thing brother. I dont care if i loose my entire family over this. I want that sob out of my life for good and i want to heal from this.

      It’s behind closed doors they do their best work. I’ve been NC with both my brother/sister because of it and sadly had to add my mother. After I would talk with her I was hyper anxious and this would last for days. I finally said no more and added her to my list.

    Spot on. He was definitely a covert. Definitely. Can they be malignant and covert? He was vindictive, jealous, envious and just so much more. Mean, cruel. Mostly Quietly and sometimes openly

      An 'Covert' narc is the sneaky one i think in emotional sense these are the most dangerous.. they weaponize empathy act vunerable witch in fact they are.. but its a manipulation tactic to sucker out your energy, money, attention you start to feel sorry but that's when your guard is down. An 'Overt' narc you will know more easily because the grandiosity shows more they tend to put people down in public to raise their self esteem sometimes becoming enraged even stronger than the covert who goes to do passive agressive tactics like the silent treatment, gaslighting more.. the overt can become 'malignant' or are malignant its more visible the Covert will win your trust and than snake bite you
      Hope that explains

    I read somewhere that narcs put you down to family and friends even in the beginning because If they see you are getting attention for being a good person and a light in their life by other people this makes you out to be “better” than them and they get jealous and must devalue you to others. When I would meet his “friends” (he didn’t have any deep or longevity friends) they seemed to “love” me and respect me and welcome me…but soon they began to give me the cold shoulder. It felt so weird and hurtful! I would ask the narc when we left situations if he was saying something to them because I couldn’t understand why I felt ostracized and distanced from his friends and family suddenly. Then it got worse and worse. And I didn’t want to go around the family and then I was the one with the problem because I was jealous or distrusting. Everything just got to be and feel so backward!!!

      When he can’t actually justify devaluing you, he isolates you, doesn’t encourage or welcome friends and family to visit, has something negative to say about everyone, blocks you making friends.

I’m 3.5 months no contact and it’s definitely gotten better but the heaviness and sadness and feeling of loss is still there. Definitely cognitive dissonance still, but that’s better. Still seems so surreal. Trying soooo hard to have my mind catch up with my heart. It has much more than in the beginning but the ruminating still creeps in pretty regularly.

    Thank you SO MUCH for this! I just left my CN …ew.. no not MY CN…THE CN i was living with for the past almost 13yrs. Everything you said, and i mean EVERYTHING was spot on! I’ve watched so many videos, listened to so many podcasts and read a ton of books and articles on this subject, but your narrating this was like you were looking in the window of my soul. No other media said it like this. And no other explained exactly every single thing he did, including, surprisingly, when you said they’d retreat to their favorite room. Yes!! The bedroom. He’d stay in there for days sometimes. I knew he was hiding. In fact he invited me to allow my elderly mom to stay at his house with us until i could find another facility for her. He hid in the bedroom for over a week while she was there. He wanted to appear as such a great person for offering, yet no one knows how he hid from us for a week. What a jerk. I have such HATE in my heart for this man, i can’t even tell you. He ruined my life, caused me to lose my job of 13yrs, i lost everything in my storage unit, I am about to lose my car, and i can’t even pay the rent and electric at the new place, my fico score was getting good and now it’s tanked and everyone is hounding me for money. I need a pro Bono attorney and haven’t a clue where or how to find one that understands who they’d be dealing with. I also want to warn anyone who ever comes in contact with him to know what he is. I cannot imagine allowing myself to ever see him with another woman that will be destroyed if i don’t. I need help. Please.

    Mine was an over the road truck driver. I use to ride with him. That's when I started really noticing things. We spent so much time together in close quarters. About a year ago I stopped going with him. That's when the final discard began. I know this man better than he knows himself. And I made sure he knew I did. Caution on that though because it got spiritually draining and vile towards the last 2 months before I completely got things moved out. He was gone at the time. If he'd been home , I would have been putting myself in danger pushing him like I did.

I try so hard to get away & ignore her but she reaches back out when I'm at my weakest or most susceptible moments. I'm on a torture treadmill and I want to finally break away. She offers me the things including intimacy that I fought for during the entire relationship so that she doesn't permanently lose her best & primary supply,why is this so hard when you know it's toxic& ruining your entire life...

      @@breakingthenarccode Thank You! That's what I'm honestly hoping will happen,& I feel that it will be the case with a bit more time,like you said here.Its extremely tough to compromise most of your likes,and values in a relationship,because you start to feel like you're losing your own self-respect.In this case I was made aware by a caring neighbor of hers that she was all of sudden staying out all night,which was completely uncharacteristic of her while I was living with her.She ghosted me the nights she was out even though we would talk regularly&had instigated a few fights to get me to leave her house,blocked me on all social media&absolutely flipped out when I confronted her with all the evidence& was only mad that I found out & invaded her privacy. Betrayal of trust/loyalty is the worst thing for me,& I know that I can't fool myself to go back with her in a relationship after that.I appreciate 💯 what you are doing here on your channel! 🙏

    My experience was online, though the narc did talk a lot about wanting to get together, which always made me cringe and close the subject.
    She can come across as this happy friendly bubbly person, but she is full of hate, loves drama, and is a full-on bully and troll.
    She has done all the things you mention in this video.
    I didn't know she was a covert narc until our sham of a "friendship" was ended.
    But it all makes sense now.
    If I'd known what was really going on with her, I would've run the other way.
