  • 1. I will treat myself with dignity and demand respect from others. I will not allow anyone to disrespect me.
    2. I will set clear boundaries and make known to others what I regard as permissible and acceptable behavior and what is out of bounds.
    3. I will not tolerate abuse and aggression in any form or guise. I will seek to terminate such misconduct instantly and unequivocally.
    4. I will be assertive and unambiguous about my needs, wishes, and expectations from others. I will not be arrogant - but I will be confident. I will not be selfish and narcissistic - but I will love and care for myself.
    5. I will get to know myself better.
    6. I will treat others as I want them to treat me. I will try to lead by way of self-example.
    7. If I am habitually disrespected, abused, or if my boundaries are ignored and breached I will terminate the relationship with the abuser forthwith. Zero tolerance and no second chance will be my maxims of self-preservation.

    Tolerance is learned in childhood. For example; If you’re Mother tolerated your alcoholic father, then that is what you learned was acceptable in your adult life. Once someone learns that what they were taught is not exactly right, they can then learn for themselves…. treating people the way I would like to be treated has simply been an opportunity for others to take advantage of me… people won’t tell you they are manipulating you, but their actions will tell you everything. Pay attention and listen to YOURSELF!

      Not really , your mother might have tolerated a lot of pain from other men as in my case my dad was verbally abusing her constantly. but I grew up all my life seeing that situation as somenthing to avoid at all cost, violent, emotional disregulated men repell me, they have always have, so not really, you learn and absorb only what you choose from your role models it depends of your level of self awareness. We are not sponges unless we are very babies as it happens in narcissism but when the child is old enough to think for themselves we can create our own thinking and beliefs

    This is a very helpful video. Thank you. I have figured out this question for myself to be useful: Does he encourage me to be my healthier self? In terms of sleep, eating habits, physical exercise, etc. - all measurable things. If he sabotages my physical health, that is a red flag. I am done with relationships that aestheticize/contribute to self-harm.

    Thanks to you prof. Vaknin, I have ended long time ago questioning different aspects of narcissism. I don’t care anymore/ try to make sure a person is narcissistic or not. I rather say/consider how this person makes me feel during our interactions and whether I behave or react etc etc. I am following you still and I personally can say that this is the best video about human interaction/ relationships I have ever seen (considering myself as person that questions herself and subject to such a question)! Thank you again for all this knowledge published on this social media platform.

      I lost everything too. I initially had to travel for health treatment and went directly in the hospital. Not one word from him. I let him know how hurt I was, and I never herd from him again. That was 7-months ago. All my things, my little dog.. everything . I still cannot bring myself to speak with him. Too much hurt for way tooo long. I found my boundary. He is capable of revenge so I have to find a way to retrieve my things.

    Sometimes i think the ideal love which i sought for years was inside me. The man individuates when he realizes self love is the ideal love he sought through life. Self love is not the love of own gains and strengths(self introject) but the love of himself whoever he is. The ideal love was always inside us what changed was our perception .in childhood we unconsciously perceived mothers love as the ideal love. But when perception changes we frustrate.self love guids us to accept the unpredictability of relations. If selfish society(parents) limited us from finding self love with emotional abuse we try to find at least a predictable love instead of so called ideal love by manipulating close ones😶

    It's different when they're ASD (formerly high functioning Aspbergers). Fact is, he listens to you and many others and then proceeds to gaslight, be critical and raise his voice, using authoritarian tactics as well as toxic masculine behaviors. He diagnosed me...i don't have a disorder, but he says everyone has traits of disorders....so, thats not a favorite loop to listen to.
    He's disagreeable, has alexithymia, oppositional defiance, ocd, adhd, and self medicates on hash, and concentrates heavily. Communication is fraught with fff reactions...shutdowns/meltdowns and financial discussions are tense and difficult at best. High on narcissistic (negative) traits. The cycle of high and low run pretty much like clockwork. My best perspective is I have better personal boundaries then I ever had before and I am better at finding my own well-being in my day to day without bothering to inquire as to what we could do together. He has placed himself high above me, because of course he NEEDS to be right. But my capacity for compassion towards myself and him are actually far better than I ever thought possible, and for this, my own personal growth I am grateful. I see him really trying to bring his best...but the patterns are tough at times. I just keep telling myself he has a disorder and he's doing his best...I've learned to let go of trying to help him by suggesting anything helpful..i practice tending to myself or otherwise the constant resistance and being critical of me, just drains me of my joy. I learned a few years ago that if I treat him the way he treats me, he'll just set fire to the relationship. So I'm very careful to try and refrain from falling into reactive abusive behavior or to challenge him too much.

    Regarding the last question (reaction of the partner when you talk about end of the relationship), I assume that if a partner has 0 emotional reaction to such statement (i.e. not caring at all, telling you "if you wanna leave, then is ok leave, not doing anything to save the relationship) can also be abusive?
    It is confusing sometimes because one might think that the partner who talks about breaking up is the one who is abusive, even though this can be because of the distressed and rejection/devaluation caused by the other partner....
