    The easiest way to see if a romantic interest is a Narcissist, just simply tell them the strongest word in the English language which is no. Sit back and watch their reaction. A narcissist will sustain a narcissistic injury from just being told no to any request they have. That injury will have to be healed by them either displaying anger or at a later date illustrating coldness or a punishment in some form. They have the emotional intelligence and regulation of a child.

    I am married to a narcissist but I won't give him the satisfaction to apply his supplies to me including the bed. Amazingly, he is still here. He charmed me in many ways but won't work with me. Love bombing definitely not an option. Gaslighting is not effective as I already knew his plan. Just ignore him completely. He tantrum like a child. You think I will feel sorry? Nope! He can dive in the lake with his supplies. I don't care anymore.

    Ghost. Grey rock. Cut them off. If you absolutely cannot, then minimize as much as possible your contact with them. When they start to pull their inevitable games, stop engaging in any way, and leave immediately. The last thing in the world is to lose contact with you, the last thing they can stand is you removing yourself from their lives. Don't react, don't lose your cool, don't say anything, remove your presence. That is the only thing you can do. You cannot fix them, you cannot help them, they cannot change, save yourself, neither you nor anyone else can save them.

    My ex lied all the way through the divorce proceedings. It was fantastical and sad at the same time. Just to put the whole sick game out of its misery, I had my lawyer write up an “everyone walks away clean” (meaning letting GO of my rights to alimony, pensions, etc.) . Some thought I was insane but most, who SAW what was happening and KNEW what he was doing, were like “let it all go girl, he’s MESSY. Why bring pieces of that into your future?”
    After some careful thought and remembering all of the financial chaos I had lived through during the marriage, it made perfect sense to me that things such as mandated alimony and whatnot would have CONTINUED to bind me to his chaos, even AFTER a divorce. Why would I want to keep THAT part in my life?? He was already working hard to hid assets,lying to the magistrate. . . making it CLEAR he was going to continue to play the SAME games he played during the marriage. The quickest and cleanest way to regain control of my own space was to simply leave with MY stuff (what was left of it) and walk away from ALL of what was in HIS realm.
    BEST DECISION EVER.

I blame the mom and dad who cause this child to lose their pure authentic self and become this awful human being. Parents, moms in particular you need to check yourself because the parenting that is NOT taking place the way it should for a child is running rampant in society. Please ask yourself why your bringing children in the world if you can’t see the damage you’re causing to little ones that end up growing up in a world and hurting others through tactics that cause dis ease and torment to others .

    A Narc will play mind games with you as a cute little reminder telling you that “I'm still out here” and “you can't get rid of me" and “I'm going to continue harassing you” so they can attempt to continue to control you, your family, your kids, your friends or money or whatever. Mind games are a fun way to entertain themselves at your expence! A Narc loves and wants to win any game so if you let this behavior get under your skin you will be doomed. They will win and you just become the laughing stock once again. It's the hardest thing to ignore because they know exactly what to say or do to get in your head and just fuck you up. Sorry but the 'french' is needed. Look, whatever a Narc tells people (mainly lies) it's just something you can't control and you can't change. People will believe what they want to believe about you and that's on them -not you. If you lose a family member or friend to their BS then that person was never really a good person to have in your life anyway…be gone with the shit and start new with folks who really care for you. Toxic energy needs to be discarded so your healing can continue. Remain no contact and if your situation can be one where you don't have to deal with the Narc then do it. Just stay away and take control of your life! Moreover, People wonder why they end up hurt, seriously hurt, and even killed for their own actions. Cheating is a choice and there’s simply a lot of ignorance in the process.... Thank you so much for helping me out Metaspyhub@gmail. com. Your advice and services helped me so much.

    It is like dying and being tormented and slowly killed, do not try to connect with them no matter how lonely you are.
    They are evil, charming until they get what they want which is usually something selfish, and scary!
    Being uneducated is the worst thing, people need to wake up.
    Don't let these evil people break you down, you are dealing with somebody so demonic that you just need to get away and stop wanting to help or fix them.

Some guy named Andrew on another YT NPD channel said the word "mini-discard" which is needed for the vernacular of recovery like this one.

    They also pretend, in front of others, to be attempting to do nice things for you - things that, on the surface to those not realizing the history, appear as though they benefit you. All the while, the narc knows they don't benefit you, but annoy & insult you. Like sending flowers for occasions you don't observe. Dropping off supposed "mail" that was actually cards I sent my deceased mother over the years. That creep is actually celebrating the fact that he hastened my mother's death, and that I am in mourning over her!!

      show the divorce judge how you acquired the house and how much he contributed to the house (or not) and offer the part he paid for . Show financial records. If any of the money you paid for the house was through inherited funds you may get that part back.

      It’s helpful to create your own life if your staying in the relationship, hobbies, friends, activities, when I realized the situation 25 yrs ago ( the advice and education Rebecca provides was not available as easily then, I read a lot of self help books) at the time I had my awakening I went back to school ( I couldn’t afford to leave the relationship due to young children, no support, no job) I went back to work, after college my earnings gave some flexibility, I had some control over money that I hadn’t had for yrs! I’m polite, I listen to him, I just kinda do my own thing! And when I started listening to Rebecca I learned how respond with absolute confidence! And that feeling is awesome! Your not stupid!

    I am taking care of myself or at least I am learning to. Many self help books are teaching me how to say no. I lived 73 yrs b4 I learned that it was okay for me to say I am not going to do that for you. That was something to learn. That freed me quite a bit. In addition these channels have taught me the many red flags to watch and listen for. In the past 2 yrs I have completely dodged 3 narcs and did not allow them to get their hooks into me. I am learning to do what the comedian Kevin Hart says he does - shrug my shoulders and move on. What a great feeling. Thanks for your teaching.

    This is all so true. 8 years of isolation, no friends like before, no family like before, lost myself, got sick for over 2.5 years of being unable to walk, destroyed on every level at that time. Found myself in a very dark hole of hell and still to this day continuing to lift myself up and from this. My plants have been cut, chopped or died. My dishes have been either broke, bent, dented or damaged in some way. My linens cut, burnt or damaged in some way. My things, such as tools, money, or garments, missing and no where to be found. My hair damaged or becoming shorter while sleeping. Almost 7 years of this with so many lies, deceit, disrespect, devaluing and depleting so much of my life on a daily. Feeling like a bird stuck in a cage with my wings cut to the core and no one to talk to or express myself with. Relying solely on other people in social media to help with breathing techniques, learning about trauma bonding and so much more! 47 years old and learning to forgive, most myself for allowing so much harm. Not only with my own self but my children. It's so sad how another can sick all the life and light out of someone who was a social butterfly, so giving, and spontaneous. To being lost in life and losing who you once were and trying to find help to heal and one day help others who have lived a life of hell since childhood and it following you... I'm grateful for these videos only wish one day I will find peace, not only within but outwardly. Learn to smile and to be able to share and not be afraid to talk to others in fear of judgment or negative responses...I pray that I find a home of my own and a new life to begin another, again and hoping it'll be the last time. Because this has been the worst.. learning self love is so important and creating boundaries and sticking with them. I'm wanted then not wanted. I'm ignored and seen as a ghost. Then I'm not worth anything but a burden. I know it's lies but this shit is so real and sad as hell to live. 15 year relationship almost the same. To another that is now 7 years and even worse than the one before... it's a horrible cycle of hell! The most important is to listen to your intuition and not allow 500 chances... Go with the 1st and let it go.. and move quickly before you get caught in a web of hell! Others can't see and do not know, let alone you're seen as the problem because they are really good at manipulating others! Then they ignore you and see them as the sweet and kind one. You're told you're crazy and left with no outlet, for so long it starts to eat away at your mind, body and soul.. then your spirit becomes so weak and they enjoy every bit of watching you.. suffer in silence.. sometimes it's years.. it seems like an eternity... much love to all who go through this and I pray you're able to get away before it becomes so poisonous and toxic to your entire being! Follow your gut and listen to your inner self! ❤

    Thanks Rebecca,
    You hit all the nails on the head. Everything you speak of, had happened to me. I first met her after an old schoolmate introduced us. Her husband was killed in an auto accident, leaving her 6 mos. pregnant. She and I appeared to be enjoying each other’s company, her son was born, and I stood by her side and helped her raise him in a stable environment. He turned into a very happy child, did very well in school, graduated college, and has done well for himself from what I understand. I no longer have contact with him. His mother used every weapon that you talk about, to devalue and degrade me. She completely destroyed everything that was built during our 18 years of having a family that I thought I’d still have, and no longer do. The newly built house, new cars in the driveway, the vacations, down to the always full refrigerator wasn’t good enough. In the end she filed for divorce and drove the final nail in the coffin. I tolerated her narcissistic narcissistic traits, in order for her son to continue to have the best that I could provide for him. The new home, the new cars, and every other good thing was thrown in the trash by her and her divorce lawyer.
    I wish I could’ve heard your solid advice, oh so long ago.

    I’ve seen this and been through it with family and an ex boyfriend a few of them actually. Started with having to be ok with their inappropriate female friends, to getting discarded, back to love bombed. Was online cheating on me caught him multiple times get gaslighted so bad that was made to believe he joined those sites when were broke up (during a discard). This crap had gone on for 3 years. I learned about narcissists, my intuition, the reason I felt sick to my stomach all the time and said bye. The trauma bond was real once past that I started soaring in healing. Healing from Natc parents, siblings, and exs, not easy at all but will be worth it 🙏🏼

    Yep, I have a friend that is a Narcissist, and she is in ruff shape and her narcissism starting to get the best of her. I've been gradually educating her on narcissism and what it is, C6 validation from toxic men that are drug suppliers and drug users, she does everything she can to hide it but she keeps exposing herself to me wanting me to understand this evil side of her. I understand she has to seek help herself in order for her to break free from the toxic environment world that she's created herself. I know what she sees in myself that she craves is what she can't get from toxic people.

    Yes, he started walking away from the very beginning, without any real reason. Then mentioning that he was walking 'at his own pace'. He smeared me often in public, even in front of total strangers. He signaled me 4 times that he was breaking up with me. Then came back. Yes I am strength incarnated. But the moral, spiritual, physical, mental and emotional walls of my Life
    Have been progressively eroded. In just months.
    My initial love for him has been replaced by this awareness hat he is playing me.
    He often looks very shamed when I turn up at his place.
    It's like he is at least 2 persons all the time.
    I have brought up bipolarity. He did an innocent act first. And now is showing his fangs openly.
    Exit Stage 1 ? Wish me luck please. I need it. 🙏🍀

    My dear Rebecca, I am an empath/Cranio sacral therapist…I turned 71 a couple of months ago. I’ve been listening to you for two years. You helped me turn my 30+ year marriage around. I’ve gone to Alanon off and on for 35 years. You gave me the added understanding and tools to change and therefore “He” changed. I divorced my second husband/father of my only child who I now know was and still is a malignant narc and still can reek havoc. I wish I had known then what I know now. Back then I just knew he was sick. Unfortunately, my daughter married one. I am still detoxing from a recent extended visit. I live abroad and had not seen them in over three years. I listened to your videos religiously and I must say I did well not taking the bait and responding not reacting, or simply walking away. Your sharing your experience, strength and hope with all of us is such a gift. I have shared your videos with all my friends whether they thought they needed it ir not😂. I send you much love, light and appreciation lovely 💞🌟🙏🏼

    I have only listened to 15 mins so far and every aspect you have mentioned I exeperienced in 20 yrs of marriage to my wife who I just had to call it quits with. I did not even know what the word narcissist was until she accused me of being one so I went searching to find out what it meant. Why did I stick with it for 20yrs....I was brought up to practise unconditional love causing me to find excuses for her behavior.
    You have given me so much peace of mind that I did the right thing by ending the relationship which was a very hard thing for me to do.
    Thank you I will listen to the rest as time permits.

    She had a nick nycor me, she'd call me tornado and I thought I was cuss I couldn't stay still,I was constantly doing things doing for her.

    I've been waiting for a video that best described my situation Forever!! ...to have what has been happening between us, my confusing experiences and perceptions of it, before, during and after, to be validated - especially after I went no contact with my sibling several years ago.
    This video is major help to me, you've hit every point on the head! Even though the romantic element of things isn't part of it, siblings or family members can and do all those things, with more ease, because they have greater access to you on far more levels than someone you've just met could ever hope to, plus it's a lot easier for them to masterfully construct a stronger cognitive dissonance and the fantasy they want you to live in and take all the time in the world (or as long as they can hold out) to get you where they want you!
    Thank you so much!!❤

    Yes, the narc in my life did this many times future faking me. She seemed to always be planning for the future & never really enjoying the present. And absolutely didn’t want to review the past directly. She felt too much associated shame, better to just simply block it out. Even though she was anchored by it because of her earlier emotional traumas. She seemed to even future fake herself. She also found it incredibly easy to lie. She was all about power & control and became quite upset when the mask finally slipped about six months into our LDR we met online (but not in a dating app). There’s no middle ground with them, narcs are a paradox. They desperately want love (along with a pathological craving for any form of attention.) Yet while they fear abandonment they behave interpersonally in ways that drive you away from them. I got the sense that she didn’t feel worthy. They secretly hate themselves while pretending to have it all together, brimming w/self-love at least that’s what they show outwardly. It’s truly a shame the “number “that their early caregivers manipulate them with. And it just snowballs from there.

    This is eye opening, even after all these years. I bought all his stories and lies. I didn’t know they were lies at the time of course. I’ve read through a lot of my old journals, and now I can see how many times I believed things he did or told me that didn’t really make sense (lies). This happened from very early on in our relationship. I was such a patsy. He knew he could do anything (cheat) and he could tell me a story and I’d believe it. I was quite naive. The kicker is that he used to blame me for all our problems. 🤯

You go from what my friend is to that, a definite extreme, We know he’s using her because it’s his supply. ) thanks to Rebecca she is navigating this human piece of manure brilliantly, and with children your absolute first concern because of a narcissist will use the children to get at you! Esp because they know these children are important to you! Friend took a lot of advice from Rebecca and it has definitely made a difference, and if you have children only do contact through the court and the e-mail route! And document!

Sometime she seemed to be lovely but then the testing would begin and everything would go downhill real quick. I am just so broken now, but I'm determined to get away from this relationship.

    Programming the mind via receipt totals, communicating via tweaking my music play list while I'm driving; communicating subtly through family members; following me to the gym - everywhere, really - accusing me of flirting. Then when I make light of their control by joking that they'll owe me something, even though I pay for myself, twisting the light-hearted suggestion to mean I am after their money. Basically, making a life with them is filled with drama.

      When a person goes through
      - abuses of all sorts . Physical / Sexual/ Verbal / Emotional etc
      - rejection
      - abandonment
      - incest
      - violence / trauma
      When they hit the age of puberty : their bodies secrete : Adrenaline, instead of : Dopamine / Serotonin / Norepinephrine.
      Adrenaline act as like : fight / flight syndrome.
      They either go into addictions / rebellion / and all sort of vices.
      A lot of serial killers have very bad upbringing and have narcissistic rage brewing & growing within them.
      At the point of their wounds “,‘if they
      do not deal with them, ( if you can accept it ), these youngsters allow demons of rage 😡/ anger / hate / unforgiveness/ malice / murder to fill them.
      They create alter egos ( like a mask ), and their mission in life is to hurt others, make people miserable and go crazy.
      The spirit of Jezebel also enters them. To manipulate and control.
      I was delivered from a narcissist and God delivered me. He call this “a stronghold”.
      He said “ I the Lord have delivered you from a stronghold , or it would have completely destroyed you”.
      So my advice : walk away and don’t look back & do No Contact.
      Many of these narcissists need deliverance and inner healing in Jesus name. But many are “anti God”.
      Be safe and happy to all men and women who have gone through such experiences. Know for sure - even this shall pass.
      So look forward to : New life , New beginnings . Blessings 🌹🌷🌸🌼💐🌺🌻🌸

I just met them very recently like a month and I have observed my married neighbor (the one who invited me) the love-bombing, the gaslighting, the controling over me, the passive-aggressive, he also is an enabler and people-pleaser. I super see their need for their so-called, 'supply', 'validation' -- they are extremely insecure and suck my energy and happiness.

    Violent. When he was screaming at me one time I told him, "Well, the neighbors know you're nuts now." He turned his screaming into a low scary roar hoping they wouldn't hear him (not saying that to me but I'm not an idiot). One neighbor started mocking him and saying everything he would say to me verbatim and he literally couldn't understand why he was doing that but he hated it and was really glad when they moved. I told him, "They're mocking you." I know it sounds mean the way I come across but 26 years of this and I was raised by my bio-mother who has narcissistic borderline personality disorder. Most of the time I don't speak at all but when I find a "teachable moment", I gird up my loins and finally say something.

We have cried more than our share from such cruel callous mean hateful attacks that have cut deep with inside every part of us and such evil. How can another human being do such to another. My question is how do or can we really ever heal from such? I have as well as we all know it’s like Satan there infecting it him self upon us! How do we heal God only knows. Think we all kind of loose faith in man kind and find hard to trust in others. May The good Lord bless us all as we in dire need of him to save us from this hell we have known. I love us all
