      @sandramirekuayim1161 If a person is raised by Narcissistic Abuse, their brain and body systems get Developmentally Damaged to have it UNSAFE for our systems to tap into ANYTHING for our OWN well-being, including Intuition and self-worth... NO child abuser sees ANY use in allowing that, because it works against their dehumanizing of their targets.
      I am very grateful to be in times where this is all getting better understood and medically clarified by neuro-biological and developmental sciences.
      It has been a lifetime of feeling inept when ppl victim-shame abuse-survivors expecting us to just CHOOSE to "love ourselves first," "listen to your Intuition/ gut," "believe people when they show you who they really are," "know Red Flags are actions not matching their words..."
      With COMPLETE DISREGARD for how foreign and DANGEROUS that is for systems raised under violent ramifications any time an abused child dares to try to tap into any of that.
      Unfortunately, it takes professional Trauma-informed interventions to work through ways to replace that programming of our long abused systems' forced firing and overuse in ways not neurotypically or developmentally ideal or natural (nervous, poly-vagal, hormonal, somatic, respiratory, parasympathetic, cardio-vascular, + + as well as the inherent epigenetics).
      Even us Truthtellers and "premature launching" runaways from the decades before any of this was understood STILL come away with physiological and psychological blocks and gaps to being able to SAFELY know, explore, and backfill developing this, because even though we can tell and prove to our thoughts that we ARE safer, and our own autonomous adults, our subconscious and survival mechanisms have been too long jammed- from our starts- into hypervigilence (until we crash into burned and burned-out dissassociative hypo-vigilence tolerance incapacities). Our systems are all wired for emotion BEFORE cognition... In teachers' college, that was one of our first lessons. If emotions are ramped or crushed/ depleted- for better or worse- our systems do not optimally learn/ think. Abusers keep targets in a constant state against the ideal calm needed to think clearly about our well-being, let alone any other personal wants of autonomous value.
      SO many people have NO clue what we are up against when one is Developmentally Damaged and brainwashed from your start in life AGAINST having SAFETY (let alone encouragement) to develop those privileged neurotypical ideals.
      Hopefully the actually trauma-impact data will increase such key awarenesses of these realities over such assumptions that anyone can just choose to over-ride Developmental Abuse by heeding clichés flung at us.

    The fifth point is very important. My intuitions told me not to marry that man. But I rationalized and ignored my own intuition. I thought that as a highly educated person I should not take such an important decision based on intuition. My rationalization was proved wrong within a few months after marriage and I had to suffer narcissistic abuse for twenty long years. But I learnt a lesson 'Do not ignore what your sixth sense tells you '

      When people insult you realize it's them projecting their fears and their emotions on to you, what people use to insult and shame, what they acuse you of is exactly what they have done or how they feel of them self, the best reaction is two options
      One : " I love you" and smile *they can't except kindness or love and it's almost an insult to them
      Two: " I'm sorry you feel that way, it must be exhausting to go around using all that energy to be that angry, I feel sorry for you" and walk walk away, but privately keep in mind how evil they are, fake empathy and kindness towards them and you will always come out on top especially in public

      @juliet8678 When someone FREEZES after triggers you describe, like not knowing what to say to stand up for oneself, or rationally discuss things for adult-to-adult fair clarity, my Trauma Therapies have taught me that that is because our Child selves Survival Traumas have been triggered by feeling UNSAFE, so the primal Limbic Survival INSTINCT parts of the brain kick-in, shutting down younger/ later-developed more complex Brain functions like reasoning & diplomacy, to PROTECT you. Those oldest brain systems don't have upgrades from later developing brain areas to know the difference between a physical beating attacking you, or someone just being petty and mean with words projecting their toxicity onto you... It takes professional Trauma-informed help to heal that and gap-fill to help our brain parts upgrade and align to undo such developmental abuse damages. There are many options, plus even free online supports, groups, and videos if people can't afford and access 1:1 therapy sessions. Also, look up most effective Trauma Therapies, because there are a few VERY different types, including ones that don't even require a lot of rehashing history... RTT, EMDR, Tapping, EFT, CBT & DBT, IFS.

    This advise is also great for the “fixers”. I’m not a people pleaser, I can say no and I have no problem calling people out on their nonsense. My problem was I wanted to fix my broken Narc. He talked about his tough childhood with a narcissistic mother and I saw a damaged little boy. I thought that with enough love he could be healed and because of this I forgave certain behaviors. When I had enough and realized I couldn’t fix him I left him and never looked back.

      It took me 50 yrs of cycling with trying to help such people to learn:
      1) not ALL abused people are wanting or having capacity to value healing options and better-together solutions... Many are addicted to negative-attention-seeking in victim problem-fixated dramas.
      2) SOME Narcissistic Abusers MIRROR ppl they meet by LYING and saying they went through abuse/ Trauma/ Betrayals too... Then Love-Bomb and Hoover fast tight us-against-all Trauma-Bonding... Now, I am being more cautious and discerning with such seeming "kismet" connections.
      3) Abuse doesn't only create very caring people who don't want the same for others... Abuse can also create Narcissistic Abusers, and emotionally unavailable people, too.
      4) Love and time can't heal others who don't authentically value mutual well-being to best make use of opportunities of sharing love and time.
      5) ...that I had to start valuing MY well-being and energies as equal to others' because I kept getting burned and burned out- thanklessly (I took a group tx Healthy Boundaries course that was pivotal).
      Honestly, I am so happy that you and others figure such out earlier in life... Sure wish I had!
      Keep sharing your awareness regardless of when you learn such key gap-filling in your life... That's one key way to help spare others sooner, so this is not as prevalent, and the Narcissistic Abusers are not so under the radar more and more!

      For 10 days we never kissed property, he had sex after 4 days of me being in this other country, he actually did not look at me. Eye were closed...
      We never went out to a cafe or a bar or a walk in this beautiful city even though my air bnb flat was just next to his flat.
      He also never stayed the night ..
      My stay was all about if he comes and what time. He would drop by annanouced or come at 1am.
      But then I would get jewelery , food shopping for a week..
      But then on my last day he would get angry that i met some neighbour next to me when I was waiting all saturday for him and left for a walk with then at 11 40 pm..
      I was guilt tripped for that alao for ownig own business and having own life.
      I do not have to mention he was sexy as hell.
      My peace was gone throughout this 10 day visit. Second day when he came to see me he actually started shouting at me in a car. I left immidietely and cried after being alone in a foreugn city.

    @MrUnapologetic77 Před rokem +47

    OMFG, perfect timing! I just broke up with my narcissist and was wondering how I kept ending up in these relationships. I'm committed to personal growth and thought I was pretty solid. My self-confidence is fine, I don't avoid healthy conflicts and really don't care much about people's opinions of me in general.
    But I have a blind spot when it comes to the people I care about and are closest to me. I just (literally 3 days ago) realized that I have some lingering codependency traits. I become the savior, the fixer, all in service of love. I have unlimited compassion and tend to overfunction in relationships.
    When the red flags started to show, I addressed them. I pointed out the gaslighting and subtle acts of manipulation and tried to encourage healthy dialog. This is almost impossible with a narcissist. Committed to making it work, I ended up tiptoeing around her emotions and coddling her insecurities. I stopped personal training because of her jealousy of other women. She continued to exploit my patience and the sacrifices started to build to where I felt like I was losing myself. I ended up feeling angry, hurt, and resentful, and she had to go.
    I realized that this was a me problem. All of her needs were being met. My childhood trauma has left me with unclear, practically non-existent boundaries and an unhealthy willingness to give and give. I've started to reevaluate those behaviors and the beliefs that have held them in place. I'll be coming back to this video as a reminder. Thanks

    You said it exactly the way it is. The narcissist studies you. Is from the beginning piecing you together like a jigsaw puzzle. And then will use his ways to knock out each one of those puzzle pieces till you are a wrecked puzzle with no beautiful picture anymore. No one knows that you didn't do that to yourself but that a monster did that to you. A monster disguised as a "wonderful" man. If one has never gone through being married to a narcissist they could watch a thousand of these videos and never get it. But to anyone who's married or has been married to a narcissist, everything you said is right on the mark exactly true. And a reality that never ends as long as the narcissist lives. They are like not human. They don't know how to love people. They don't have the internal human love that humans naturally have. They are truly the definition of a monster.

    This was my Dad who you are talking about. I could never figure out why I would not follow his attempts at manipulating me, even when he offered me money for Copyrighting one of my best songs. (It seemed that there was some kind of "gimmick" attached to what he wanted me to do & I just bring myself to follow his suggestions as to what he wanted me to do. You helped me see just now that perhaps it was my "intuition" that kept me from doing what he wanted me to do. Later, he even told me that if I copyrighted my song, with his name on the song also; it would be best. Then I started to think about the fact that he wanted 'me' to put his name down on the song in order to get "credit" for contributing to the song, when he hadn't done anything at all to contribute to its finished product.

    All Dany is saying are common things a mother and father should have teach us while growing up. Instead, they chose to programmed us for failure.
    I was having a meal in a terraza of a restaurant by the seashore full of people and tourist when an unknown man stood by my side while smiling like a vulture. I didn't even look at him before that. I told him to heat the road and later I was thinking; how come?...I was feeding sparrows (they might become extinct while doves are multiplying) with bread crumbs). Feeding them was what put me under his radar.
    At the end, this is going to be the planet of the robotics; no one would dare to show their human side, and the ones smiling will be the "weird ones". I have already heard people saying that if someone is nice is because they want something (which is partly true due to our narcissistic societies but it rules out genuine kindness).😢

      @@jbrown2908 Thats a very invalidating, gaslighting, belittling response. I hope you understand that as a fellow narc survivor. Of course, I have thought of that. Rumination is a basic trauma response. Self-doubt and accommodating the needs of the family first and foremost is the norm as the scapegoat. Why would that not cross my mind? Please also consider that if they do not have knowledge of their own behavior they won't be capable of kindness and giving respect to others at all, stranger, everyone but you. EVEN IF THAT'S PERFORMATIVE, it shows that they are capable of deciding whether to treat person well or not. I have experienced the potential of that myself. They are completely aware of how they are treating you, I tested that and see it with my own eyes. you can never get any closure and have any productive discussion with any narcs ever and I needed closure and certainty. Believing that BS will only lengthen the process of our recovery. I am highly empathic to a fault, I don't even have to try to consider others and understand them from their POV. In fact, have to work on being selfish and considering my own needs first to heal and get to this point. We are victims and they harmed us intentionally, thats necessary to acknowledge for us to heal.

      @soleil25mm You are definitely not alone, and I only started learning all this around age 50! Like you, I had a lifetime of such draining hurtful imbalanced connections.
      I became disabled, and all the Users bailed... It was painful... I lost nearly everything that I had worked so hard for, all the while giving and sharing so much with others, who didn't reciprocate when I actually needed caring, too, for a change.
      Having to take care of my own severe well-being needs- AFTER so much of my resources had been wasted on others- has been a harsh set of lessons, but finally forced me to learn to value my well-being as equal to others' - especially in finding out no one else was.
      I also came to realize that I had built my self worth and "adult" identity/ roles on doing for others, and I have learned that I didn't know how to be alone separate from serving others, nor to feel safe and valid to do things that just resonate with me, like for fun, or my recharging... I would get major panic attacks, guilt, sense of doom, and huge anxious restlessness... I learned that this is because I was raised to get beaten every time I was not doing something "useful." My systems got conditioned to feeling unsafe if I wasn't being dutiful.
      So believe me, I get where you are coming from. Just know that unless someone is deathly ill perhaps, your well-being is otherwise a non-negotiable EQUAL right to anyone else's.

Normal people are grateful, Narcissists out themselves "That didn't inconvenience you at all!" and they look like they want to cry. One of many ways I found narcissists are very good at disappearing. But decent people respect you for helping them... the trouble is, you might not remember them because it was such a small insignificant thing to you. So help any stranger if you can do it easily and without any risk. Only go out of your way for people you trust.

    Robert Green , expert in human behavior and psychology and author of books like 48 laws of power . He said , the most important life skill you can learn is to identify toxic , narcissistic people early and then get away immediately or as soon as possibly so you minimize emotional and mental pain , and so that you don’t form any serious ties with them such as marriage, or business partners or strong emotional attachment. Get away as soon as possible and stay away , go no contact and never com back no matter what ., the extra money or whatever you may gain from being around them is not worth the emotional pain they will cause you . Identify early , get away as soon as possible , stay away , go no contact , never return no matter what . Pray for them from afar .

    1. If this person all of a sudden 'loves' you, your family, your kid yet only Works with you.
    2. Wants to be your 'friend' on these social media pages but you never clicked 'accept'
    3. You have clarified that you're with someone and can hang out but Only as friends
    4. They are persistent on hanging out, loving you, somehow knows all about you even though you have made it clear but get this odd love infatuation story from them
    They play such warped mind games. I have read all this and would put examples but probably not a good idea. His text history I have come across, just not long ago the victim had clearly stated she is with someone she loves, the narc apologized and blamed the fellow coworkers for telling him to 'go for it, she's not takin', she clarified and clearly stated she leaves her personal life out of work and That is why those coworkers don't know. He kept contacting her, trying to 'play it cool' but gradually went back to the obsession character. It's like he's stalking her, contradicts his prior statements. I'm thinking, girl....I hope you caught that, as that's the same stunt's he pulled on me and look where I/it ended up*
