      Yes and if you don't react to their baiting then they use your stoicism and tranquility to accuse you of never caring about them and that you not getting emotional means you never loved them and you're "showing your true colors". So really there's no winning. You're either crazy and overly emotional or you're cold, uncaring, and "don't know how to love". It's a trap either way whether you react or not.

    When it comes to narcissistic abuse, it's crucial to focus on understanding the dynamics of the abusive relationship and the impact it has on the victim, rather than making assumptions or generalizations about their behavior. Narcissistic abuse can have a profound and complex effect on victims, often leading to emotional trauma, low self-esteem, and a distorted sense of self-worth. It can erode trust, create feelings of isolation, and manipulate the victim's perception of reality. Some victims of narcissistic abuse may struggle with maintaining healthy boundaries, trusting others, or recognizing their own value. In some cases, individuals who have experienced narcissistic abuse may engage in behaviors that are out of character, including cheating or seeking validation outside the relationship. These behaviors can be a response to the emotional turmoil and manipulation they have endured. It's important to approach this with compassion and understand that these actions may stem from a desire for validation, escape, or a misguided attempt to regain a sense of control or self-worth. However, it's essential to note that not all victims of narcissistic abuse engage in infidelity or seek external validation. Each individual responds to abuse differently, and their actions may vary depending on their coping mechanisms, personal values, and circumstances. If you or someone you know has experienced narcissistic abuse, it is crucial to seek support from professionals such as therapists or counselors who specialize in trauma and relationship dynamics. They can provide guidance, healing strategies, and help rebuild a healthy sense of self-worth and trust. Remember, the effects of narcissistic abuse are complex, and the healing process is unique to each individual. Judgment and assumptions can hinder the understanding and support that victims need. Providing empathy, compassion, and access to appropriate resources can contribute to the healing journey and empower survivors to rebuild their lives.

I walked past him to get some water and suddenly was overcome with absolute rage that he could just lay down and go to sleep after hurting someone so bad. I stood at the end of the couch and cried screamed begged him to listen to me right as he was falling asleep. Unfortunately it ended with him choke slamming me against a wall pregnant.

I managed it for a while…but then one night I snapped. I was on my feet ON the bed and launched myself across the bed at him. I was kicking, punching, scratching whatever damage I could do to him. It went as far I went to the gun cabinet and put my hand on a loaded .44 rifle. He turned white as a sheet. I ended up in the bathroom floor crying for 2 hours. I kid you not…a week later he asked me to go on vacation with him. I told him he was crazy if he thought I was going anywhere with him. That was 8 years ago.

    Basically, all of the interactions a person has with a narcissists is reactive abuse. The only thing the narcissist wants out of an interaction with another person is to have their ego propped up because of feeling insecure. The conversation between a person and a narcissist isn't reciprocal. A narcissist isn't looking to give anything positive back to another person in a conversation, unless it props up the narcissist's ego or is meant to bait the person into propping up their ego later on.
    It's really weird once a person understands narcissism because dealing with a narcissist is like dealing with an alien in a meat suit that's out to drain people of their energy and destroy their life. Once a person understands narcissism it's easier to understand why no contact with a narcissist is essential.

      That's what I asked my current wife: "What did you do before your ex-hubby went physically violent?" She cut me short: "There's no reason to hit a woman." After insisting for months and months, she confessed she "talked back". Then I learned (after much insisting) that she was verbally abusive with her next boyfriend, and that he used to tell her that she was "hurtful" with her words. Now I'm with her (I learned those details after marriage, since she was always vague about it), and she calls me "emotionally unstable", when in fact she made me react after so many lies and deception, which is the "reactive abuse " the video talks about. Now, I'm learning to think well before responding to her, because I already saw how she twists my words against me, and how she has made other men suffer. Yes, I'm her next brokenhearted.
      But of course, if I ask a woman "What did you do before you were hit?", I'll be interrupted, as if a man was not allowed to delve into the whole situation and context of the mistreatment. No, sometimes women provoke men they can't defend themselves from, then cry victim. It's a trap!

I thank that psychiatrist for setting my path of healing before me. 3 years of therapy later and I’m so much better. Age and finances keep us together. He no longer triggers me.

    It happened to me. Narc husband created an argument. I was calm and kept my composure at first, even telling him to calm down and stop screaming at me (in a calm voice). He kept on and on, eventually saying something that set me on fire. I lost it and pushed him against a wall. The "cowardly lion" then called the cops. I had a long, friendly talk with two police officers. I guess the narc was thinking I'd be scared and grateful that he didn't press charges, but at that point,I didn't care and I definitely wasn't afraid.
    I later told our children what happened (they were away at college) and apologized to them. I also apologized to God, but I wasn't sorry I pushed him.. I realized I was baited and my response was natural. So, I guess it was a sorry, not sorry. I should've forcefully stood my ground years ago. I can't let him push me to that point again, but I know my reaction was normal reactive abuse and I don't feel any shame or guilt.

Not only that, they involve their family. He had his family going behind my back from the time our son was born, until he left (9 years!), they wrote down everything, but turned it all on me. The made me seem crazy, unfit. It's been over 2 years, he still has my son. You become a victim of the system, the courts, everything. Can't even get therapists to write letters for court anymore. It's unbelievable. It's like being repeatedly victimized until you just give up all hope and realize that healing is a joke, moving forward is a joke. It's like they ended your life and no matter what you do or how hard you try, it really is over. It doesn't take long after they leave for you to feel good again, to get your balance, to know you are not and never were crazy, but by then, it's just too late.

The next 2 road trips he drove distracted. I made mention both times and he reacted like a bully. So I shut my mouth and endured the stress. It was the last road trip I will ever take with him. He's the same guy who insists he honors me. To honor means to value. Distracted driving is devaluing enough. Doing it to inflict fear and assert control is about as honorable as trash.

    My mother is a malignant narcissist. Awful women caused so much pain. She abused my brothers and me (physically & emotionally). My poor father fell victim to my mother and committed suicide when I was 13yo he was only 37yo the same age I am now. I’ve been trying to understand his death for so long. She tied him like a knot, cheating on him. He actually did it the night he found out she was cheating on him and met the other man. Everything you described is what my father endured while being married to her and I endured as her daughter. She would throw him out of the house and as he walked away she would follow him with her car and tell him to come back for the kids. He would cry and say he was afraid to come back home because their fighting is causing him so much debilitating pain. She would call him every name in the book, blame him for all of her problems and convince him that he was the abuser. I am finally no contact with her and focusing on healing myself.

      I believe that is what my x bf did with his first wife so he wouldn't have to pay child support. He claimed she was going out drinking and leaving the kids with her mother so he ended up getting custody. However, he told on himself by telling stories of staying drunk most of the time during those years. After living with him I believe he threatened her and was so abusive she just gave up. Now his children are in their 30's, and his son has the same narcissistic characteristics as him and he is abusive to his daughter because he hates the fact that she has a good relationship with her mother. And he will never change. He said he doesn't see any reason why he should change.

    All the narcissists I know use "ugly shouting" to intimidate when nothing has happened except a disagreement. I have been calm having a matter-of-fact demeanor and this rage emerged like an atomic bomb from the narcissist. I have not reacted to it when it is extended family members but have cut them off. You are right that the goal is to control their victim and make the victim look bad in the eyes of others. It is a weird dynamic, the whole room sides with the narcissist because he blew up I must have done something wrong toward him. I came to the conclusion that they are all narcissists and all react the same way when someone thinks differently from them. I have put them all out of my life. I am convinced it is a narcissistic culture and system that was learned from the parents who passed it down over the years.

She also tried this various times saying my dad was abusing her but in the end she cried wolf one time too many. Now nobody believes her when she cries "abuse!".
    Now she will try claiming I am abusing her and then saying I am mentally ill for reacting. My dad although she abuses him too is an enabler who will do anything for a peaceful life, including shouting and screaming for me to "shut up!" when I am trying to defend myself.

      Yep that was a regular occurrence and pissed me off. He’d replay the recordings and make me sit there and listen and take notes. Just to drum into my head that I’m mental, and also to make me feel shame and like a bad person. In my mind all I could hear in those recordings was a woman in extreme pain and every rant I had all were about the same things, financial abuse, being used, bled dry of everything, not feeling loved, appreciated, respected, lies and promises broken, fake future building, all talk no action, totally and intentionally neglected, and at the time not knowing he was recording. He’d stay quiet and calm and hit record while I would rant and ball my eyes out in emotional agony and confusion. It’s a sneaky tactic and yeh they do it to hold against you as well to try damage your reputation and even have you arrested and say you’re abusive.
      Ofcourse after being subjected to listen later I’d be fed some bullshit about how I needed to go to mental health sessions. I wasn’t mental before him. Interestingly there were times he told me every partner he ever had ALL were mentally unwell or bipolar. Hmmm…why every partner was mental…I pieced it together once his sparkly shine faded as I suffered years of abusive behaviour and realised it wasn’t gonna change. The narcs should be in therapy not us.

I just drove 700 miles to take care of him and when I was cleaning his nasty house the day after I got there he started yelling and verbally abusing me. I remained calm and the next day when the nurse arrived I put my suitcase in my car and left. He texted me the next day telling me to call him. I haven't called and I refuse to take any more abuse. I've tried all my life and it will never change. People can think whatever they want to. But I also know he is running out of people because he is so abusive.

    Man, I think of all the narcissists I've known in my life, going back to childhood. Family, teachers, school and neighborhood bullies, etc. And then as an adult, co-workers, bosses, acquaintances, authority figures, etc. Narcissists are everywhere and American society often rewards their worst behaviors, normalizing pathologies. Just like the best way to stay healthy isn't to hold yourself up as a hermit at home to avoid all potential pathologies but to robustly build up your immune system through exposure the best way to deal with narcissists is to build up your own self worth and self confidence, knowing that people are just people and their words, opinions and tactics to get you to react to them only reflect THEIR OWN weaknesses and desperate insecurities. Narcissists WANT you to be weak, scared and pliable. Don't let them. Ignore the ones you can and leave the ones you can't. Most of all, stay safe and don't play THEIR game, which is always stacked against you.

Only for her to say back to me “look at you all aggressive, you MONSTER! You’re EVIL! You’re SCUM!”. I believed I was a monster for my reactions. It destroyed me. I found the courage to escape 3yrs ago, but she stalked me for a yr and now I don’t go out all that much. I’ve lost my friends, my family act indifferently.

    She even took me to a psychatrist when I was a teenager/young adult. When the Doc said that I wasn't the problem, my mother started abusing and blaming her of not being professional 🤦‍♀️
    I never saw that Doc again and never understood what was going on that time.
    She always turned things the way it is described here. Walked around telling everyone what a monster and useless child I was. But she never mentioned what she did to me before.
    She even had me manipulated in a way that she forced me to get married to a guy I didnt like at all, just for the sake of her own second marriage. Ultimately after almost one year I just ran away from home. Guess what? Who was the evil person who destroyed the family? Exactly. Me.
    I even dragged her to court for forcing me into marriage. The show she put up in front of the judge was hilarious. She was crying her eyes out and held her heart, seemed she would faint anytime from that emotional pain.
    Literally a few moments later, outside the courtroom she started laughing and patting her thighs, proud of how she fooled the judge. He decided in her favour that the accusations were not proven. She got the favour of the doubt 😪
    And I felt like I literally lost everything.

After experiencing a lifetime of abuse from him I realized I wanted to end him right then and there. After we dropped him off, I had some time to think and realized I needed to confront him and possibly leave as opposed to killing him. My birth mother is in denial and acts like she can't understand why I would be so angry at being subjected to his rage fits as an adult. My wife had a rough childhood too and I will be damned if I will allow him to hurt her as well. My birth mother is still gaslighting people about the campaign to convince the world just how much of an anger problem I have. My wife and I have been no contact a year and a half and just starting to heal.

    This was her speciality, I'm such a calm free spirit kind of person, but wow every time she did this, she changed the way she did it so I didn't know where I was. One of the ways she would do it, would have me leave at times because it was too much, I swear she would do it at times to get me away so she could then go out and spend time another guy, somehow when she baited me again to go to her, I would have to apologise for what ever just happened even though I had no idea what just happened, apart from it being a massive over reaction to something so small. A year later I still ain't right but I'm getting better, example, I have now met an absolute gem of a woman, she asked me recently why do I pause sometimes when she asks me a question, she said its ok it's a nice little trait not a criticism. This is because of 2 years walking on egg shells pausing to answer questions for a calm life rather than being myself. I hope that part recovers if not atleast I found someone who loves me for who I am.

    my mother is a narcisstic personality disorder... of course, she thinks she is normal and its everyone else that has the problem... unfortunately from me, she was a single parent so it was just me, and her... I learned how to deal with the world from her, and how to have relationships and how to treat people from her... at 55 I am just about a social basket case. no friends and have given up on women, because I am incapable of having a good relationship, either I choose the wrong woman (just like mom) or if she is a good one, all the issues i was saddled with start to come out and I just dont want to do that to anyone...

    I am currently going through this exact situation and have been for the last seven years with my wife.
    At the very beginning, I used to confront her about things that I saw, obviously were amazingly dysfunctional and manipulative, and she would turn it around and say that I was trying to control her.
    The last couple years it’s gotten to the point where it bothers me so bad that I literally flip out and scream and yell and break things only to be told, that I’m a psycho and I need therapy and I need to be on medication, which I have actually followed through with.
    The problem is that now I don’t react that way anymore and now the past is brought up to punish me, and there is absolutely no way that I can redeem myself.
    I don’t know how to get away.
    Everything we own, including 9 acres is all in my name because her credit was destroyed from her ex-husband.
    Sometimes I sit alone in my small cabin on the property by myself and wonder if I am such a terrible person. Why should I even continue living?

    An ex of mine told me that his ex wife was crazy…that she would scream and hit her head against the wall etc. I remember feeling sorry for him for going through that until he abused me to the point of LOSING MY SHIT AT HIM. He was awful! Financial, physical, sexual, emotional abuse…absolutely textbook. Luckily I had really good friends that helped me get out after only 6 months. He tried VERY hard to stop me seeing my friends though ‘if you love me, you’ll never see them again’

      That's life's dirty little secret. I grew up in a family of narcissistic women. And attracted many in career and work life.
      Retired early at age 58 and was so happy to be away from their mess.
      I am NO CONTACT with all female relatives except one.
      After I mastered Zen mode and could turn everything they did and said back on them I finally SAW how sad, pathetic and BORING they really are.
      What a shame to live your life to push other people's buttons for your fuel. The worse part is when you realize that they are so addicted to this that no amount of reason, intelligence, explaining will change them. Even though they see I cannot be moved they,still keep trying. That's where the BORING part comes in.
      They are like the wizard of oz being the curtain- all huff and puff and blow your house down until exposed.
      I have a male cousin who also did this to me. Borrowed money. Refused to pay it back. I kept asking for it. He kept lying and said he,sent it.
      One day I figured he was in on the abuse the scapegoat game(me) so I consciously decided to give him just what he wanted. I told him off via text and email. Then he went and told the whole family I was CRAZY and trying to extort money from him. I sent them a copy of one of my savings account balances. I laughed at them when they realized I didn't need to extort anything.
      And my cousin Debbie finally spilled the beans on him.
      What he didn't know was he got played. I already KNEW his game. I had not seen this cousin for many years and he presented himself as a righteous Christian. Didn't feel right so I background checked him. Whewwwww!
      Liar and a big thief. Screwed his sister out of thousands. Lost her house.
      He's still poor and broke at 71. Living in a trailer-left his,wife for a 20 something.
      Immediately went NO contact after my reactive abuse act 4 years ago.
      Only one cure for this crazy country cousin.
      An eternal dirt nap.
      Living well is the BEST REVENGE!!!

  • @somedude4805

    It’s the school bully scenario. They antagonize you until you retaliate, and then YOU get in trouble and labeled as “unstable”, and “violent”. Meanwhile, the bully is laughing at you from behind the teacher.
    My sister did this to me and my brother as children, after she learned that she was our father’s favorite, right about age 11 or 12.
    Then I learned recently from my uncle that my father resents having children because he blames us for him not being a millionaire. What a great family, huh?
    Edit: I went to my parents house for Christmas a few years back. My father was far more interested in his emails than his family. I wanted to have a serious conversation about my childhood with my parents, but my father couldn’t pull himself away from his laptop, and that made me so angry because I needed him to acknowledge what I was saying. He ignored me until I snapped and yelled at him, then he acted like a victim and said he needed to pay his bills before they become late, and wouldn’t you believe I retracted and felt immediately guilty. I had a full blown meltdown in front of him due to his treatment of me as a child, and he actually made me feel like the abuser. He has that much of a hold on our minds. He also taught this tactic to my sister, who uses it as well. I hate him for it.

    This happened many times with my sister, but eventually, she did something so heinous I lost it and told her exactly what I thought of her in very explicit terms. And no, I did not feel guilty, despite her protestations and manipulations over the following days, I just reiterated what I'd said already. Finally, she gave up and sadly, we rarely speak any more because I realised she would never change... But It had taken me years to be able to give up the relationship.

    My dad. I don’t even call him ”dad” anymore. I’ve gone to the first name basis with him. At least behind his back. My parents had shared custody when I was one and a half years old up until I was 21. That was 10 years ago. The last few times I was there, I took some of my things with me home to my mom. Little by little every single time. The last time I went to his place I had my best friend with me because he acts different around company. I went there a week before I was going to be there so I took him by surprise. I grabbed the last of my things and told him why I was leaving and what he had done and said to me.
    ”Nooo, I never said that.” He said while shaking his head and looked at the floor. Didn’t even have the decency to look me in the eyes.
    At random times he would ask me if I wanted to come and shop some food with him. Take a note that that was a question, not a request. So I simply answered ”no”. His reaction was to become like a child so he started kicking doors, then he walked away and threw some stuff around the house. I was scared for my life everytime he did that because I don’t like confrontations. It scares me. One time he asked me ”why” in an angry and stern voice. I simply said ”because I don’t want to”. ”No, you are coming along with me!”
    Like, did he not trust me to not burn the house down, or did he just want someone to hold his hand? To this day, I still don’t get that part. Couldn’t even communicate and tell me what he wanted or how he was feeling, but I felt that he needed to hear the word ”no”. Don’t think he has much experience with that word coming from other peoples mouths which is probably why I kept going against him.
    Anyway, leaving has been the best decision i’ve made for myself. Now I can say ”no” and i’m still improving and becoming more like the person I want and need to be.
    Because of a family situation, I have to meet him again. Hopefully for the last time but i’ll be more prepared now after watching a lot of narcissist videos. Maybe i’ll be able to handle him better. We’ll see.
    I wonder what his reaction will be when I call him by his name.

    they also keep records of the time you react so they can refer to them later as "evidence" that you are not stable.

    I was a victim of this for 10 years, and as the male its been so hard, because of course i was the perpetrator of abuse, I'm the guy, who would believe me. But she would wait till I was tired, or when i tried to point out something she was doing wrong, then she always seemed to know exactly what buttons to push, and the exact way to act that would set me off. By the end of my marriage she had be believing i was the narcissist, that i couldn't be trusted with my own memories, that i was delusional, and I believed it and felt guilty about what a terrible person i was, and worked to convince all the supports in my life that i was the problem. It's been 4 years now, and while I have managed to get primary care of our children, the court doesn't believe she's a danger, and is forcing me to co-parent with her, which is hell on earth...

    Having the experience of being married to a narcissist, it is my opinion that they are terribly insecure people & they will use these techniques to deflect from their insufficiencies. They will also target weaker people for abuse in a ridiculous attempt to bolster their own egos. I initially believes my former spouse did these things out of boredom & would eventually mature out of this idiocy, but they never chage, they never admit they could be wrong & they don't change because they refuse to believe that they are but simple mortals!

    Yes, how often does this happen where it is the man admitting that he losing his sanity with his on/off partner for 4 years. This Reactive Abuse is so new to me and it captures almost everything as to what is going on in my head. The gaslighting is terrible. To prove I am not making up stories, I learned to record our meet-ups just so I can recall where I messed up and ended up in an explosive fight. I can be very aggressive. I still thank God I can control myself. If you have semi histrionic-narcissist abuser it can be crazy and guild ridden. Since I do not want to react violently, I transfer my rage to guys who she plays with to mess my head up. Once I beat up a big buy in a bar with extreme rage. All settled since that was a year or two ago. Just a sample of my "trauma bond" with reactive abuse.
