the thing the narc I am dealing with has repeated in each interaction where she blows up and freaks is that, "you have all these weird different ideas!" which is because I do NOT think like HER and I even said at the beginning, "well, sorry if you are so upset that I do not believe exactly like you do, but I do have my own mind". she HATES that I do not just worship her weirdness. name calling too.....all the while she screeches and raises her voice in high pitched outrage. I do not fight, all I do is say in a calm voice, "I don't mind if you think your way" and I leave the room. I don't argue because it will go circular, there is no commonsense only emotional irrationality due to her fear of losing control. that's all she wants is control over me and my life. not happening. @@joseenoel8093

Yes, you are right. I knew standard narc as i have one in my family. And surprise: i meet a covert narc, which I noticed something is not right, but he was too weak, mood changes, and not paranoid at all. Just he had the blaming others thing and irresponsible in decisions and budget. So after 3yrs i was convinced he is ADHD mixed with a bit of Borderline. But then i discover Borderline is opposite in spectrum comparing with narc. And thats why is common that a narc may have temporary a little borderline traits just on short term , it fluctuates in between the two having main one narc. Same is with Borderline, they can get short term narc traits but it matters which one is dominant. I was a bit amazed and confused as this was completely different of what i knew from my family case. So I become currious and research. To find out he is covert narcissist. And has a bit of ADHD as he cant focus long time to a task or even to read or write long , even he knows how to do it and he is also not a stupid person at all. But he rely on other people to do this for him. Very manipulative, but this is just because he cant do himself. Due to health issue. He knows he is empty inside , and he also fluctuate to negative emotions. I dont think he has high emotions too often. Maybe he is kind for a transactional purpose. To get what he wants.

This is a very good thing to do if you can. Many of us are co-parenting children with a narcissist, so going no contact isn't possible. However, anytime he tries to argue or shift the conversation to something that isn't about the kids, I shut it down. I tell him that his opinion has been noted but I disagree, and I leave it at that.

When they start raging give them the 1000 yard stare, stand upright with your shoulders back and do not cower in front of them. Give them short, factual answers, nothing more. Despite their bluff and bluster and tantrums, they do not know what they are doing, and they do not know what they are talking about. They are utterly incompetent without the vaguest hint of wisdom, and are absolutely terrified anyone will find out.

We, as empaths and/or recipients of emotional abuse, can train ourselves to become "vibe readers," if not "mind readers." Once we recognize their behavior patterns, we can "play chess" and anticipate their next two or three moves and plan our own moves accordingly. From watching videos by Danish, Doctor Ramani, and others, I've learned how to better control my own responses to be less reactive. "Gray Rocks" are not as fun to play with. The abuser loses their control over you, and they become fearful. If they're smart, they're the rare few who'll recognize the error of their ways and work on healing the trauma that led them down the path that would lead to their own self-destruction. I hope that there are some who can still seek genuine redemption.

Man bruh. I love this comment.
I was married into a relationship for almost 12 years before I even knew what a narcissist was. I can say that I recommend if anyone is on that type of relationship they should get out. Get away from them as far as you can, fast as you can and leave whatever you have to behind. Never look back and protect your children at any cost. They will most likely be used as a target for payback otherwise. It is a dangerous game and the narcissist enjoys it far most than you will. There is a lot of damage left to clean up after the break for all involved. It is better to break sooner than later. Know matter how broken they seem or how many promises aka lies look away and never believe them. It's sad especially when you love the person but they do/can not love in return. They hate anything that reminds them of you and if they can not turn a person against you, they will hate them also. Even if it's their own child. It's a sick and miserable life and the damage is very hard to overcome.

Now through your videos i have peace of mind, clarity and answers. I now know how to handle myself so that i can still be there for the sake of my kids in this relationship but being more STRONG.I believe God made me find your videos.
I have been in an extreme difficult situation for the last 2 years with a narcissist and I am realizing that becasue of my childhood trauma, I did not know when to back off after telling or exposing them. He got angrier and made a lot of lies about me and I kept responding to defent myslef and it literally took my health and my sanity. I learned however that my reactions were unhealthy and I had to know when to back off. I am not blaming myself but I know that as a survivor of complex ptsd, I have developped coping mechanism which are not healthy and I have to work on how i handle triggers or narcissists.

I became unhinged trying to understand how someone I loved would treat me that way. It hurt me deeply but I fought a good fight. I'm trying to heal from that toxic experience. I miss her everyday and wonder what I could of done differently?? Idk? Maybe be nicer?

Going to court with a narcissist?? LISTEN TO THIS!! You provide such clear instruction on how to handle a narcissist in the court system. I have been doing this for 15 years and only in the last 5 did I get smart about it. My daughter’s father is a vulnerable narcissist. Your insistence on objectivity and pointing out behaviors and examples of them is SO much stronger and smarter than calling them a narcissist in front of those at the court. Don’t tell, show.

I was an outsider in my last relationship with my ex narc. Her ex was a narc also. Seeing the insanity between them was hell knowing I could do nothing but observe. It was like watching 2 adult children battle it out verbally when they used their son as leverage in the argument. It was embarrassing and immoral to do such a thing. He is 8 now, and I think of the emotional abuse he has to deal with everyday in a coparenting environment. Both parents aren't fit to raise a child. I wish children services put him in a foster home. The level of insanity I saw from both of them was toxic. She still sleeps in a bed with him and he is 8 years old. In less then 10 years she will have a incestuous relationship with her own son at this rate. Its sick.That child will be on drugs by 13-15 years old because his mind can't process his childhood. We broke up recently and she moved onto her new supply. Not sure why I care but I still do.

If you are constantly negative, people forget about you. Negative thinking is zero-sum-game thinking. Zero-sum games are they win/you lose games. Compromise is a useful art. Like Danish says, "Everything is a transaction with these people." - I dislike saying it - they are losers. And if you must be subordinate to them, what does it make you? Very much in a bad situation and only you can get yourself out if it. I like to call it the "super ball effect" when you escape. It really does outweigh any perceived negatives you nay have anout "abandoning" "Helpless". It is not that you simply leave in the normal sense. No, you escape and get gone. Do not disclose your location. It is a dangerous time! Be careful. Have copies of keys and important documents in an overnight bag stashed somewhere.

Sexlessness. Sharing a bed with someone who doesn’t acknowledge you are a sexual being hurts so much. I was in a sexless marriage for years. Being a woman with a high libido, I felt inadequate. Worst I feel invisible. The man who was “supposed” to want me, just didn’t. We talked about it many times, more than I can recall now. It was always me. I wanted too much - once a week was too much for him. I didn’t initiate - he was always complaining of headaches, stomaches, always stressed, always tired. I was too sexual - when being subtle doesn’t work, what is next? Explicitly saying I wanted sex. Oh but then it was not appropriate. Conversations would end up with him saying he didn’t feel desired or I made him feel emasculated because he didn’t want sex as much as I did. Yeah, it was always me. I could never win. While we were dating we would have a decent amount of sex, it was good. The first huge red flag was not having sex in our honeymoon - which I ignored. It rapidly decrease to once a week, then every other week. Years gone by it was months in between, by the time we divorced it was over a year with no sex. I cried myself to sleep more times that I can count. I didn’t understand what was wrong with me. Was I that undesirable? Was I repulsive? After those conversations, I just stopped trying, initiating, mentioning sex. We were still loving - holding hands, hugging, kissing - but sex was off the table. He then cheated on me. Swore he had sex only 4 times in a year (or more) long affair. It didn’t matter. For years my self worth was damaged by him, years of low self esteem, years of feeling less of a woman, the marriage that was more than over, waiting in hospice, really ended. Funny how things are, I asked him for a divorce, he manipulated me into staying, next day his infidelity came to light. I was out as soon as I could. Best thing of my life. Additionally, That feeling when your partner cheated and you don't have the courage to leave him / her so you just death with the pain and live everyday asking questions about your worth. This pain is different from the cheating one_living and seeing him everywhere anticipating when he or she do it again. The best thing is to hire a private investigator Digitalinvestigate@gmail. com to help you spy on their cellphone remotely just like he did for me...

There is nothing one can do if the other partner doesn't want it. There are only 2 choices stay without sex imagining you are too old for it or leave, but leave rather early than after cheating adds insult to injury.

I had never heard the word psychopathic narcissist before til my sister in-law said it so I looked it up and everything they said was on the dot my husband. And so after a beating from I pretended to agree with him that it was all my fault, realizing he was extremely dangerous. First open door to leave I took it. He wasn't familiar with our area so he couldn't track me down and zero contact got me free.

So true Sir. These egoistic psychopaths are utterly immoral, uncompassionate embodiment of Evil. Those are slimiest creatures, who use their logic only to hurt and get away with it. In fighting them, we are entitled to rip apart their weaknesses and make them face their own abyss. For their fear the truth, they fear their own monstrosity coming for them.

No,He came back to show me that he could,and leave me again in confusion, cried all month . I again get ,can we be friends from him,really! Like I enjoy this friendship.

If only there had been youtube when I was married. It would have saved me so much time, effort and sadness. I spent decades wondering what was wrong with me. I couldn't be right no matter how I tried. I could never be good enough no matter how I tried. I honestly was emotionally and mentally dead for so many years. At least now I can understand what, or who, I was dealing with. At least I know now that none of it was my fault. I don't think I will ever completely heal or be able to forgive what he did to me. Thank you for these videos. They are so helpful for understanding wtf was happening in my life.
Always remember every narc works from an identical unwritten script. Learn what that script is and you can stop them from using it. Then you've got them.

I can't read minds and dad's(the narc) opinion of me is toxic. I deserve better, all-around. No-contact since Easter of this year! I am doing much better without his nitpicking!
They're giving you a confession: So true. In an organization, I had to work with this narcissistic woman. She ended up sending me an email, cc to a supervisor who she already manipulated. The letter clearly showed a bunch of narcissistic turds; The idealized self image, the rationalization she used to have no accountability whatsoever, gaslighting lies, and a bunch of accusations that looked like clichés which she did not substantiate, but I could substantiate how she did all those things herself! Supervisor wouldn't hear me but did want to keep me for the organization, which he described as a "kind of family", and came up with a "function elsewhere". Having boundaries can also mean having boundaries for myself and not crossing them. I won't do anything in an organization where I can't trust that I'll be heard when there's a problem. I'll accept no leadership whatsoever from a supervisor who gives his personal interests a higher priority than the responsibilities of his position. Let 'em eat their own stinkin' shit, it's their loss.
It ain’t easy, they’re masters of their own dissonance in those situations but you can own your own opinion and response.

Right! I had the narc say one time, " We're always competing." No, they are always trying to get one-up no matter what it is. I just stopped playing those stupid games of miniputlation and intimidation. So they are going crazy trying to find the smallest, most mundane things to blow them up into big issues. It is insane to see it in action, so you have to laugh at this, like they are little children playing bully games. That's how I see them. And I say KISS-OFF!

I am saving this video to watch again! My last phone call ended with being told everything I say he did and said never happened. Thats when I said he was right. He asked what I meant. I simply repeated what he had said. This isn’t going to work. Hung up. No contact is my peace. I’ve documented, saved texts, voice mails and the bills he denies he ran up. I walked away returning to my safe space and took care of me. Mr. Bashir wish I’d had your help 5 months ago. I’m one day at a time farther into my life again. 🙏🏼
That’s interesting, Danish, to take what they are saying as a confession of their wrong doings. Thanks for making your videos.

Do not yell, screaming Do not argue, explain, Do not personalize their blaim Look for their confession Remain decisive Keep clam and relax Don't react
I learned from living with a narcissist that “Silence” is my greatest weapon because they “Narcissist” thrive off attention.
Thank you, Danish. Thank you for what you do. Thank you
Thanks for these videos, Danish!
I have let the narc I am dealing with know that I DO KNOW that she is a thief but I do not confront nor say this outright nor directly............I do not say it outright because she will scream and go crazy...so.....what I have done is.......I act innocent while asking questions, in one particular recent instance because I know how she has stolen a car and several thousand $$$ from our dead roommate instead of giving it to his son or wife (he was separated but not divorced) I merely asked ("innocently"), "Oh so is his son coming to get the car?" (*bats eyes innocently) and she went total silent........stuttering and stammering a response of, "oh, uh, well, it's ah, he can't just come here, he lives too far away"....(she was in total shock I would even know to ask that, like I was stupid) and so I merely (*again, innocently), asked, in a sweet voice, "but all he has to do is take a bus and then drive the car back, right?" and again, she (obviously freaked out that I would know the son would inherit all the dead roommate left here) and she stammered, and acted like that would be "impossible for him to do that" so I countered with, "oh, so you could then SELL the car and send him the cash, right?" and she was totally shocked/silent and so freaked out I would act like I KNOW it's the son's rightful inheritance (since his dad died) and she was keeping the car (and his cash savings) all for herself. how I found out about the $$$$$ in CASH is she slipped and told me the dead roommate had been saving ALL his money to move to Hawaii and (it probably totaled 40-60 THOUSAND in cash at least) and he had been stashing it into an envelope when he died....he had no bank account.....AND she forged his last 4 paychecks when he was laying comatose in the hospital *because as he was dying, she blurted out to me in frustration, "I can't get him to sign his last 4 paychecks!" and because he never became conscious again, I KNOW SHE FORGED HIS SIGNATURE and put them into her own account as he never had a bank account. she is so stupid but I DO know. I think this is why she doesn't push me too far although she does constantly do the SILENT TREATMENT like I do not exist to freeze me out (I am renting in her house) and so pretends I do not exist. this is to make me feel BAD. this is her favorite ploy but since I DO KNOW this is all she does to make me capitulate and to fawn and to be nice to her, I merely ignore it and I always THINK AHEAD OF HER. I also do periodically plant pieces of paper in the trash as she digs thru it to find out anything she can about me and to know what I am doing (I know, pathetic but I know for sure that she does this) so I PLANT stuff so she can find it - like she now has "secret info" on me. But I do this to keep her off my back and calmed down like "she secretly knows about me" all the while I am working on myself to GET OUT AS SOON AS I CAN.........I am praying and watching these videos to stay sane and also I do believe narcs are controlled by the dark side so I call on God to protect me and to guide me on healing so I can get out of this nightmare. sorry this comment is so long, hope this share helps someone, I got to vent, no one I know understands or cares about narcissism so this is my "go to" to stay sane, so thank you, Danish......God wins in the end, so I just need to heal and do my part...

A Narcissist will make you believe that “You need therapy “ and that’s what my ex would say to me when I know full well it’s her that needed the therapy after her past always seems to linger, but after 3.5 years I mustered up the courage to finally walk away and not give in to her and that’s what was so problematic. She knew what to feed off in getting her ways and I fell for it. Unfortunately she is still living in my home and I will be patient in hopes she will leave because I had had enough of the toxicity. Lesson learned and thank you all for listening.

Thank you So MUCH , for these insights; I JUST BROKE a friendship with a narcissist, and this gives me yet more strength to break free FOREVER!!!! May God bless you deeply Sir!❤😊
I like the idea that i must collect evidence to prove that each traits of a narcissist is actually manifesting. ❤❤
I was very little as a kid when i started doing this, without no one told me. It is so sad to imagine a little me trying everyday to deal with my mom and her changes of behavior. I was so exhausted, so much...i am so glad i could move out because the pain and the feeling of emptiness was killing me, she was killing me. Having both narcissistic parents is very hard, at least my dad was away getting drank and not abusing me too.
You made me laugh when you used "the wet noodle" analogy. Very good 👍😊❤️
Very insightful ❤. Sigh I wish I had your advice 10 years ago. I’m losing in court- judges DONT care & NO ONE enforces any of their own Orders. It’s a joke
That was very clear and helpful. Organizing what he does helps me get out of confusion because he keeps me in the state of hypervigilence exactly as you say. I can’t think and revert to yelling at him I am so frustrated. Even with the facts, it’s impossible to get him to acknowledge his behavior. He’s been so awful to me that just seeing me triggers his reaction, I think to self loathing. I don’t think he even knows why he does what he does but not willing to look at any of it. Thank you,❤
After being accused of all sorts of narc traits by mu narc Boss I told her she’s projecting one me. Boy did she shut up fast!

Unfortunately, I keep blaming myself. I know I contributed emotional pain to her but I can't take the blame shift, gas lighting, contradictions, hypocrisy and guilt tripping. I was losing my mind. It was frustrating. I carry extreme guilt for my reactive abuse and just want things to go back to when we first met. So, much easier back then.
Here is one approach I used successfully once: when a narcissist/psychopath blames and humiliates you, simply agree with them, and say "you are so right, this relationship is doomed! I am a horrible person. Why waste your precious time? Let's end it here and now!" Next get up and get out and go 100% no contact. They will be so confused 😂
This channel is really helping me. I’ve been trying to wrap my head around this break up I had 3 years ago. These videos are showing me so much and teaching me so much. I feel like I’m letting go of the blame I’d put on myself.
Thank you, Danish! You are a blessing and a calm and authentic anchor for anyone lost in the rough seas of narc abuse. Your insights go so many levels deeper to highlight the fundamental truths of the narc-codependent dynamics. I can't imagine what you've had to go through to reach such depth of understanding but at least you are able to use it now for the good of humanity! I thought divorcing the narc would free me but he is still causing me uttee chaos through upsetting my daughter. I'm in the midst of a court childcare arrangements battle with him so your advice here is just what I need. He brought an entire court application of nasty and baseless lies against me which are quite easy to disprove if the court will listen. My solicitor challenged the narcissist label which upset me as I felt he wasn't fully on my side but you've explained why so well. I'm going to document the abusive traits now with text message history to friends and family of the abuse. Thanks again!

I practice being emotionless and I am working on being transactional-- I don't give anything away for nothing. Thank-you, Danish! Also, I appreciated knowing why I get drowsy after taking caffeine. That episode finally solved that mystery!

Thanks for your content I am struggling trying to figure my life out and can't seem to do so. Appreciate your efforts truly.
I had a very good friend - who seemed normal but after a few months I started getting some strange signals. He asks me for films or lunch but hardly talks and constantly keeps busy on the phone. I feel very humiliated. Even when there are common friends he ignores me completely and talks, jokes with them - I start to feel insecure. While all my friends value my presence for him I'm just another option. After talking every way I could not make him understand my pov and ultimately I stopped all communication with him and am in peace 😊
Amazing tips and techniques. Thank you.
You can see them smile and puff up. They have been refueled.
Thank you so much .
Once I stopped arguing back the next thing was it being hard not to try to justify or explain myself. I have to deal with a narcissist elderly mother. What I am trying to do to improve things is 1. lower contact even more. Keep it brief. 2. Do not as far as possible speak about myself. Let them chatter in, encourage their boring monologues. 3. Keep aware when interacting. Relaxed vigilance as Danish says.

Especially the thing about not telling her anything about myself works really well 👍🏼 Then she has less to criticize and slander about.
