Victims might not kiss the narcissist so that’s not always the case that you’re the narcissist just because you don’t kiss your husband or if you don’t have sex with him some narcissist, especially if you show me your little crazier than them they don’t raise their hand to you anymore and if they haven’t overreaching Parent like Their in-laws that have been involved over domestic then they’re more careful what they do remember they don’t want to be known they hide it so they find other ways to abuse you it’s not always physical abuse and it’s not always withholding sometimes the victim withhold sex and other things because they don’t want a venereal disease and again not narcissist physically abused there are times where they do throw things push you against the wall, but they’ll never leave evidence there’s a big difference so please clarify that
Sometimes they don't want u to sleep either. Sleep restores sanity and health.😊

The narcissist in my life makes startling scary noises everytime he walks by (he would suddenly hit a pan while he is cooking). I tell him to stop and he blame shifts this and that. Deep down I know his intention is to abuse.

Very true! They know sleep will restore your thoughts and strengthen you. They prefer to keep your mind weak only so that they may control you.
Exactly! They aren't as good as they try to make us believe and we aren't as bad as they try to make us believe. Excellent point!💚

But we are very resilient And we can understand ourselves best And we can start to call for a manipulation by it's true name - MANIPULATION and we can keep our cards to ourselves
When you go no contact with a narc and don't give them a reaction, they will target someone else. They can't live without drama.

Going no contact brought me peace. Never mind the five reasons why my silence destroys a narrcissist. I needed and still need that silence myself. To recover from the abuse and to grow into who I want to be. Thnx Danish for bringing me where I am now. Watching your vids a few years now. You among others made me recover and prosper. Not prosper again. Talking about my dad the narc. Like you do. Took me 54 years to find out. I am 58 now.. It has been a hell of a journey. Thnx again bro.

One thing I recently noticed when I have to visit my narc inlaws, they ALWAYS have noise on. The tv at capacity, the nonstop noise from their tablets. All the lights on. It's overwhelming and chaotic. Before I realized they were narcissists, I'd tell them how the noise negatively affects the kids and of course they didn't listen. Thank God they don't stay in our house anymore. I have both of them blocked and they definitely try to send insipid texts. I know it enrages them. That part about the more silence the more clarity you get is 1000 percent true. That's literally why I don't speak to them. I know exactly who they are.

That makes sense looking back at my narc ex and his parents (he lived with them). The lights were always on even in the middle of the night, the sound on the tv was at full bore all the time. There was music in one room and tv in the other and then laptops and computers and smart phones....it was awful. I had to go outside to get some peace and quiet. His parents also had the tv in their bedroom going all night. My ex would also have some tv show playing on his screen while he slept as well. No wonder they were all stressed and tired all the time. All that stuff going into their subconsciouses all night. And my ex used to love shows about serial killers or war snipers or cop shows or air crash/car crash investigations. And he'd try and engage me in conversations about them all the time. It got to the point where I snapped at him that it was sick and twisted that he identified with serial killers. It was almost like he admired them and wished that he could be like them. I was glad when I went home after my visits to get some peace and quiet. Even now, I can't stand loud noises and enjoy just sitting and reading or knitting or sewing or painting something else quiet and productive. It's even better now that I've blocked him and gone complete no contact. He must be going nuts living on his own now, especially as he's alienated everyone who used to give him supply. What a moron.

I literally get a headache around the non-stop chatter of the narc inlaw. Once I get home, it's great to just sit and listen to the silence. My silence definitely drives them all crazy!
Silence is very intimidating to them
I love and appreciate your teachings. This lesson on silence is perfect. My narcissistic sister can't stand when I'm silent against her. Drives her crazy. Yes, narcissists are paranoid. They don't care about other people. Unpredictability is awful to them. Thank you for everything you teach!💚
When my narc husband is home, he has to have the TV and his phone blaring from the time he wakes up until the time he goes to bed. I've begged him to use ear buds atleast for his phone, but he refuses. I can't freaking stand it, so I stay in my room, office, or outdoors as much as possible. The worst is he then comes to "check" on me to see what I'm "up to." There is no peace to be found when living with a paranoid narcissist. 😢

They push us through many derogatory ways to break our silence and make us react
I "stopped listening" to my mother, who had never listened to me since I was born, but it looked like I wasn't speaking to her. I started when I was 25 years old and I figured that I had the next 25 years before I had to listen to her again. I'm not sure that she was actually a narcissist, but she did have some tendencies of it. This put her in the position of having silence from me. My sisters told me that she was crying a lot. After 15 years, she admitted that she had abused me while I was a child and apologized. I didn't talk to her right away, but after a couple of years I got in touch with her. Then we had the relationship that I had always wanted. I think that she got the space she apparently needed to take a look at herself.

Silence confuses and triggers them
My ex-husband literally would say, "It's too quiet! I gotta go!" Then he would dash out of the door! Moreover, when I would go silent, he would literally go crazy and his eyes would become glassy. This is when he would become unhumanly "nice" and leave the house.
I’ve not heard about “not being allowed to stay silent” in any videos until this one. My dad used to say “you’re not going anywhere until we figure this out” but it would most always be about a something he started. Same dude used to ask me “what I was smiling about” if I came home from school “too happy”. He’s since passed and I’m much happier these days but it’s nuts how long that mental warfare can affect us as adults.
And I can't stand silence either.... but only because I hear my abusers in my head
He would fall asleep after a fight leaving me awake all night.😢

The narcissist parent in my life sold my car while I was on vacation and he pocketed the amount for himself (he used it all on food). For quite some time I had to walk an hour to buy groceries even during winter. I didn't want to buy another car while he was still around because I know he would sell it again. Now my goal is to cheaply sell off my belongings, earn enough dough and move far away.
Incredible video! Now we know how silence can be a powerful weapon against narcissism!
I thought that only step father and step mother can behave like this but your story is miserable,but have faith in God he will endow your life with purest form of joy
Yes! 100%! Narcissist husband turns the tv on as soon as he comes in the door and watches it all evening, otherwise "It's too quiet". What does he mean?! The silence is glorious. He just loves to watch tv all of the time (instead of actually having a conversation with a real person in front of them) as it's "escapism from real life because real life is sooo depressing"... I understand his words differently now, having learned so much about narcissism recently.

I had to overcome inner guilt, then I was a thousand times better. That workbook called 30 Days to Overcome Guilt by Harper Daniels was a huge help, taught me mindfulness stuff.
I could not work out how my ex could fall asleep within seconds of us having serious words about our relationship..to which she could not answer my questions but obviously realised I was distraught....with a long smirk and the notorious eye colour change from gorgeous green to black in a split second....I sensed the feeling of her absorbing my energy and loving every moment of seing me in emotional distress and feeling very content with her purposeful actions....I thought 🤔....is this for real....is this really happening....?...not humane empathetic behaviour....animals exhibit more empathy towards each other......Not human just sick....... Very well explained Danish.....Thank You....much clearer now 👍

I'm a victim like you are, and I have to confess staying silent is SO HARD because I want to tell my narc exactly what I think about her. And I know she enjoys it. But when all is said and done, no contact is more healing. My sister, Emily was the most evil person I have every had in my life and now I'm free. I check in with you now and again for a refresher.

I went no contact with my in-laws in January. I even blocked them via, online, email, and phone. Recently they came over and demanded to see us and then tried to pretend like nothing had happened. It was the oddest thing.
Your words are always on point. Thank you.
Thank you for amazing video. I have to say this resonate with so much. Given the Narcissist SILENCE is the best medicine going for them. Keep up the great work .
My narcissistic mother well I have been in no contact for six months now and the way she is acting asking around about me pretending to care about me is so awful. Some people don’t understand that this is a mask but some people do . And now the way she is acting is so funny to watch.
This has been really encouraging for me, thank you. I only ever comment in video threads for my bit of group therapy and never to narcspouse. But even this has had me wondering if I'm not silent enough 😞
My ex narc husband would always ask me what I'm thinking about and I've always found it weird as why I couldn't be in my thoughts. So my answer would be that I'm not thinking about anything just so that I wouldn't have to explain myself and enter a never ending draining and pointless discussion.
My narc mil daily shouts n morning after wake up scolding somebody,moving chair to wake others, breaking utensils n kitchen to prove she was the first to wake early morning
What’s worse is the narcissist the child. He has put me thru since he was a young adult trying to out do me and win at a no contest way. I finally had enough of all his put downs since I had a heart attack but now silence is golden. Thank you for your insight I am healing now.
WOW !! This is Deep fellas. 100% Correct. I'm from a narc family. 8 out of 11 were narcs Against me. Don't argue . Don't talk back. just walk away. BUT they'll keep coming at you. GO NO CONTACT. !!!

Mine would ask the same. Never understanding I am an introvert and I don't really talk unless I need to..My narc ex was always talking and would get mad if I didn't run my mouth as much as he did, They equate silence as either you're angry or you're plotting against them. Because that's what they do...or it could be they just wanna drown out the voices in their head with a lot of noise and chatter, either way it's frustrating when you just want a quiet moment and they just gotta disturb your peace somehow.
Both narcs in my life are extremely busy-out and about all the time. The lockdowns nearly finished them off mentally!
Best way than.just saying silence is DONT CARE bcos we have different options ..life is full of options so choose best suits u ..
The craziest thing is when they think we are plotting with them. instead , some ideas never came up into mind or heart.like: "aha! now I´ve catch you!"...rsrs....or like trying to read our minds. what a power, no?

I've found that this is true through experience. My mother is a narcissist and so are several other females on her side of the family. The worst thing I can do, what makes me into a demon. Is be silent or have nothing to do with them. My sister and I would be beaten often for being "too quiet". If I was in my room reading, even if my sister was asleep. It was an issue. When I was a teenager I thought my mother would antagonise us because she wanted to have something to complain about like other parents. Only later did I realise that she was a -satan- narcissist.
Great video and spot on....agree 👌

He has not stopped trying to talk to me and trust me i want to respond but thats what my notes app is for lol every response is written out but i realize thats what he wants so ill never send. I also might be getting a restraining order because him and his "uncle" will not stop bothering me about nonsense when I specifically told him to leave me alone unless its in regards to the divorce papers.

A true narcissist isn't trained. They are born that way - at least in my opinion. If a person "mimicks" a narcissist then I think it's done purposely. Whether the person realizes it or not. You know about the "fight or flight" responses I'm sure. I think a person (who is not a narcissist) will mimick a narcissist's words or behaviors strictly out of spite, or in the "fight" response. It's like, "Back at you!!" I've done something like that with my narcissistic sister - well, she's my sister, so...🤷🏼♀️ That's what sisters do sometimes. It's never gone well and she responds very loudly (ahem). I'd never recommend it, but she had it coming. We can only take so much. Take care of yourself! Hugs from California.🫂🌺

A narcissist craves control. They manipulate-isolate-control. So you are robbed of your social circle. In order to be a narcissist, you need to be apathic. No feelings whatsoever for nothing and no-one but themselves. So unless you are apathetic, chances of you becoming like them are slim. Especially because they want to keep the control over you.

I wonder how come you empathize with my exact situation
Me andy ex used to get into pretty extreme conditions, which created the most extremes narcissistic reaction situations. We used to do cocaine for days and I remember once I went beyond silence. I sat on the floor, mediating, after 15m he was breaking things around me and I just shouted: Well, it's far beyond more interesting to just sit and think instead interacting with u. "None ignores me" I literally became the grey stone Statue, for 20hours.
It’s worse when you are an employee whose job is decided by a narc boss. How dare you are silent to them? I have seen someone punished because they show they don’t care and give the narc silence treatment. I don’t know if it’s a good idea in employer/ employee relationship. Can you please tell us why the narcissists are always rewarded with high ranks in the organisation? It explains why the turnover rate is so high and the work cover costs are so high. At the end of the day, it’s the big costs for the organisation to choose unauthentic persons to be managers.
Thank you my Hindustani brother I tend to talk way too much

Yep, they smile like nothing happend last night, also their dreams are crazy immature. Talking in their sleep and say things about money, food etc. If they have a nightmare its always something about 'losing control ' death and than extremely weird. My experience with my ex husband! The sound of a hurt little boy. Who knows these? ❤
I truly dont think she cares at all about my silence whatsoever. Ive been in No Contact for 5.5mos now post discard from covert narky ex-gf. Not a peep from her but some gradeschool social media bashing that ive ignored. She never loved me and doesnt care about me at all.
How can I use silence against a constantly sulking narc husband who is permanently in the silent treatment mode? ( Because I didn't make enough money by working weekends and nights as well, or allow him to bring his past friends and their families to our house for weeks etc etc)
