    Married 34 LONG years to an overt narcissist. He has called me several times-a Loser. 😐😧. I used to take it to heart for the first two decades. Then at age 58, for the first time, I entered a State University. My three grown Sons told me that I needed to go as when I was in my 20s only rich girls or the very smart that got scholarships could dream of going to a University. So still married to the narcissist, but at my University educated Sons encouragement, I enrolled and took three classes. I hadn’t been in a classroom in over 40 years, 😂, but I loved EVERYTHING about going to University. I loved taking notes-I did it long-hand as that was how we did it back in the day. I could hardly keep up as the professors spoke so quickly. Some students told me about Voice Memo where one could record the class.👍🏼👏🏼💪🏼😁. Perfect. Now I typed all the lectures and started making A’s. Then an entire semester of A’s. Then an entire YEAR of A’s. I did all of this all the while taking care of my house and fixing home-cooked meals every night. The walls in my kitchen started resembling the walls of serial murderer, haha. I had notes on Statistics, General Biology, English 401, and of course, Psych classes. I was constantly studying.😁💪🏼. I loved it. I was entering my Senior Year and STILL had a magnificent 4.0. And I was by then 62.😁. One day I was bringing my narcissist his supper in the bedroom as he is always in the computer, I answered him in a way he didn’t like and he once again called me, ‘a loser’. I looked at him and began laughing in his face.😐😁. I finally understood: all this time he had been using Projection. 🙄🙄. I knew because of my grades that a 4.0 university student could not be classified as a loser. Since that day he has never called me that again. My degree is in Behavioral Psychology just so I could understand the dynamics of what goes on in the mind of a dysfunctional personality disordered person. I could divorce him now as we are financially well-off, but I love my three Sons too much to disrupt the family dynamics. I can now disassociate myself from the words he uses because I understand the abuse he must have endured at the hands of his Father who I know was also a narcissist. These people truly are empty vessels disguised as being legends in their own minds. I am thankful for your channel. You are an outstanding coach. Blessings to you .😘

    So my deal is this. I say all of these, but I have a legitimate terrible memory, and I used to question whether or not I was the narcissist because I would say those. When in fact his memory is insane, and about a year or so ago I really started to question whether or not I say the things that he is telling me I said. I have apologized so much, so many times for things like hanging out with friends, forgetting plans that I never recall making. The big kicker for me was last night, he said I called him a liar. I don’t remember saying it (Even though I am beginning to think it), but what ensued was 8 hours of ignoring me, telling me how much I hurt him so on……even though what I remember about it was that he was effectively accusing me of being the liar. I don’t have a lot of fight left in me, but I am done. 13 years of this, my friends are vanishing, and I don’t have much of a support system left, but if I can get out now maybe it wont be too late.

But, I am going to try and mother myself, care for myself the way I would have mothered the children I never had. Mother myself the way an alcoholic, schizophrenic, narcissistic monster of a mother was not capable. I am able, I am honest, I am kind, I am NOT one of them. We may not recover fully but we can regain peace. Best & Forward to you.

He can accept the logic of that, but the behaviour breaks out in other ways, with put-downs, snide comments and frequently the monologue +/ - The Lecture!! I feel the monologue is to monopolise my time, particularly if I’ve said I plan to do some particular task around our place, and I feel I have to listen to him in case some gem of wisdom or insight might be revealed!

You ask them to get to the point quickly so you can say no but they refuse because they have it all mapped out in their head how they are going to get you to agree.

    I used to hear the same thing."you have to learn to let things go" "you don't listen to me, ever!" "We can never move forward because you stay in the past" a few more examples. I caught on quick early on. I became my narcissists worst nightmare. I don't suggest it to anyone, now that I've educated myself on the behaviors of these types. What they don't know about us is we can do the same things they do plus more. I noticed what things I said or did that bugged the hell out of her saw her reaction and went with it. Anticipated her cheating the whole shabang! When she would walk In the door, I'd ask hows. #2 doing? She said you mean #1?! To which id say well your stuff is still her so it's #2 I'm sure of it. Lol let me know when he's ready I'll have a coffee wit him so we can trade notes since we share lots in many ways."yeah since I'm a big whore and you hate me!" Typical of what I'd get back. I straight would tell her I'm a mirror not a person I used to cry when I cared but since you took my human powers away from me I can't so excuse me while I sit her in the cold darkness where my heart lives now, and yes it is your fault! I'm sure she remembers me! Don't let these ppl get to you. They're so fragile and so easy to mess with. One thing I didnt like about myself was the longer I was with her the more I got dark I actually started to enjoy how my evil creative genius came out when it came to playing games with her. Not proud of myself for that but hey, what can I do when I'm only trying to survive! Oh yeah! I'm well aware of what she was doing so I fed it back.

    My dad was (he has passed on) a COVERT narcissist of the hightest level. He was I think actually a narcissist and sociopath and would toggle between these two behaviours. I'm 57 and I started to understand how destructive he was when I was about 42. I knew something was up before but I could not figure it out. He had so many levels and targets that no one, but no one would be able to figure him out. It was useless to try and discuss this with anyone that knew him because he had them so entangled that even they did not know his tactics. Quite incredible. I have since gone no contact with most of my family and extended family and am much more mentally at peace.

    I couldn’t believe how accurate this is. Especially the last one. My narcissist put me through hell for over 30 years with his drinking, drugging, infidelity and other behaviors. When an issue lead me to saying something about the hurt and anguish it caused me and our children, he said “why cant you just get over it. Im trying to put that all behind me but you wont let me”. He didn’t want to accept responsibility for his behavior or the pain our family had experienced. He tried to make it my fault for not allowing us to move forward. Narcissists can be very cruel individuals.

    My narcissist followed his ex-girlfriend of ten years outside a bar where I was working to smoke her weed. Later said he didn't want to give her the satisfaction of refusing her offer. Then he came back in with her. Then he left for the evening, right on her heels. Everyone in the bar assumed he was stepping out on me, right in front of me. I don't know if anything happened between the two of them, he insists nothing did. But he blamed HER for making trouble in our relationship that night, saying I bought into her manipulations. When I called him on it, saying he needed to accept responsibility for his actions, for being disrespectful to me, and for giving her hope, he said I was the most jealous woman he'd ever met. I'm probably the least jealous, but who's keeping track.

    You are so amazingly good at what you do Danish. I love how you break everything down and how clear and confident you are. Yep, they are cookie cutter in their behavior. I'm 100% out of my relationship, it's getting close to a year. But, I still think it's important to listen in on narcissistic behavioral patterns because I never knew or understood what a narcissist was until that relationship. And he is text book narc. To a tee. I was so perplexed how he'd just disappear and we weren't even fighting (yep, they're never alone, as you've said, there's always others). I'm independent by nature and that had to frustrate him. Good. I'm pretty sure I've spent much of my life attracting narcissistic people into my life. At least now I'm seeing it and starting to understand it. Now I want to repel them. I want them to run from me within 5 min's of first speaking with me.

    'Why can't you forget it and move on?' Is basically what my brother said to me when I very gently, softly and caringly told him about all the hurt and pain I was in from his behaviour in the past. I was very careful not to say 'you hurt me' or 'you did this to me or that to me' because I knew it would hurt him on he would get very aggressive and go on the attack. 'This is taking me back to our traumatic past of our childhood (we had a traumatic childhood) and you are taking me back there and I just want to forget it. You should think more positively and not be so negative. I don't bring up all the things you did to me (which was nothing).' This was his reaction to me. I don't know how this will end but I'm trying my best to have an amicable ending even if it ends in us having no contact but I had to approach him about his behaviour because the pain I was in was eating me alive like a tumour or cancer. Hopefully it will end well. I don't know if my brother is a narcissist but he definitely has some of the traits.

    "That's not how it happened, you remember it wrong, I should write it down next time" "Really? I never said that!" "You're ALWAYS ARGUING with me!" - when I literally argued with him like 3 times in 10 years because I'm the most laid back person ever lol And my favorites: "Now you're talking like your mother!" "You're arguing like your mother" - started saying it after I foolishly told him my biggest fear "growing up" is being a hateful witch like my narcissist mother. "Why do you always have to tell me how to do things" - during a tantrum after CASUALLY ASKING him to not use toilet tablets because I read it corrodes the plumbing. I don't care what he says though. The biggest problem that I realized all those years I was grateful because he "supported" me when I was a nerve wreck and had agoraphobia and couldn't work, at all my failed attempts to get a job he was there to tell me it will not work and I'm ill and not enough and I don't have to do that... I just cowered at home being paranoid with panic attacks and depression every day and he never got me professional help. The instant I got up and got my shit together on my own he left me because he just used me as a freaking maid and he literally manipulated me into being mentally ill. That's such an archievement even my mother couldn't reach in 20 years despite all her efforts. Narcissists are dangerous. Now I'm almost okay but I still avoid every person who slightly raises any red flag and it's getting out of hand at my workplace really.

I kept letting it slide because I just could not really believe it and then later even the next day after saying these things he would tell me he said that because I made him angry. They don't understand love not in the way regular people do. You would never say those things to someone that you truly love. By the way I love the way you pronounce narcissists.

    Are you sure they love you, though? That's the hard part, loving someone, and you want to believe so bad they love you back, but they really don't. It's our own cognitive dissonance. Loving someone is having regard for someone, acknowledging the others' feelings and truly caring. Take heed not to confuse someone being just interested in you with someone who really loves you. It's a hard, hard pill to swallow.

    Usually, I was met with the ‘deer caught in headlights’ look on their face whenever I’d raise an issue. They never outright said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Instead, it was crickets. Dead ass silence, which, in turn, forced me to doubt myself and believe I was the problem. As you stated, they were an expert at getting others to believe they were unfazed by anything. I was in therapy heavily during that relationship because for the life of me, I could never figure out why they (and everyone else around us) seemed to navigate life so ‘easily’ and I always felt isolated in my own thoughts and feelings. I was always expected to just suck it up and forget about it. I found myself apologizing way too often for living my own damn truth. They would always ‘jokingly’ call me crazy. ‘“Yeah, I know you have a temper. I know you want to lash out, I know you’d see red when blah blah blah” even when I was literally on zero out of 10. It’s like they WANTED to see the worst in me, so that whenever I became legitimately upset, they could say ‘see, I told you so’. Then, the cycle would repeat itself. Half of the time I actually questioned whether or not I was in fact ‘crazy’. It turns out I was just in the wrong company. I wasn’t crazy, I had Standards, yet I was consistently made to feel bad for having them.

    The hardest part for me in dealing with this kind of abusive, gaslighting language is knowing how to distinguish when those questions are said with ill intent and when they are neutral. I bounce back and forth between always blaming myself or distrusting anyone who uses that language. So often when you confront abusive laguage, the abuser will fall back on, "Why are you getting upset? All I said was . . . . " and then repeats the abusive question that could be innocuous in other circumstances. Usually if I take time to think it through afterwards, I can figure it out, but in the moment I don't always know the appropriate way to respond.

    My narc was angry because he saw that I had friends that actually valued me, he couldn't stand seeing me thrive, it was as if I didn't deserve it. When I told him off once, this convo came up : Narc: "I'm sorry for going apeshit on you." Lenny: "Oh again? You're probably just going to "go apeshit" on me again, so what's the value of your "sorry" at this point?" Narc: "You're so ungrateful, I've done so much for you, yet, you only want more, are you ever satisfied? I'm speechless." Lenny: "You're speechless, that's great. I want only one thing from you now, that's for you to just leave me alone without talking to nor about me ever again, I'm tired of your excuses for "going apeshit" all the time and after saying sorry, you do that again and again. Just leave." Then I left him, not even giving a donkey's behind on what he was about to reply. I bet he is still sitting there, cursing, after 6 long years. I on the other hand feel free after doing this. I also feel that videos that educate people about this kind of people are gold, because not all people out there are aware of how much damage a narc can do on you.

I don't love you anymore (and the next day he'd say I didn't mean it) 9. If asked who's important me or another woman who is just a friend in his life - he wanted to end things instead of taking my name. 10. I can't live without you and without staying in touch with you (and then suddenly he started disappearing on me for days like 10 days or more with no contact at all and when asked he'd lash out and say "what's the big deal, not the end of the world") 11. He ended it by saying its over and just left with no explanation and then ghosted me. 12. You're so emotional, get over it. 13. You're negative. 14. Noone can ever love you as much as I do. 15. You're crazy. 16. I didn't say that. I don't remember it. 17. Always threatening to end the call, walk out or ending relationship. 18.

Thank you so much for making me understand the exact meaning of those words 😮 I am becoming sure of my decision day by day by understanding him from his core.
