We rather delude ourselves for a period of time than admit that these kind of creatures can exist. When narcs get figured out by us, their ego can't bare the fact that stupid and weak are actually them.

If I ever said I have some health issue like I’m really tired or a pain somewhere (which was rare) within minutes or hours without fail he came up with some problem himself. It was like he always had to be in pain above me, the attention was all about him. It was exhausting, I felt more like his mother than his gf.

    I would say a Narcissist is more likely to at least imply that you are whinging about your own health problems before one upping you. A sick partner is too good an opportunity to miss because you are vulnerable at the time. If this guy didn't try to make you feel worse in some way then not a Narcissist, even a fragile. Maybe just an unfortunate attention seeking hangover from childhood.

They are a house of cards I recently engaged with a covert narc. It has been a fascinating unravelling . The disengagement was swift and graceful on my end. . Now the narrative is imploding as efforts at triangulation and reality checks are setting in. Still…. Disappointing I will miss the philosophical chats and psychological and esoteric shares. Never should have made love after a year of talking and listening. The cues were there . My empathetic ass showed up only to show me empathy is a foil . A tin foil hat for us “weirdo” different folk who seek affirmation when we are having a motivation / creative block. Procrastination is an invitation for these types.

    Absolutely, they have created this world around them that they really believe is real. But it is all in their head. Their flawed connection to reality leads them to understand the world only on their terms. They get frustrated when you don't submit to their world view, because it shows your strength and their lack of reality. They envy your ability to live in reality and manage the issues that come with life. They cannot accept what challenges them. It is like watching a petulant child having a fit.

    Wow Richard you hit the nail on the head, in a tribe there are many care givers so it would be hard for a child to without love/warmth. I’ve got avoidant personality disorder and growing up my mum literally did the bare minimum for me. She had zero interest in me and was physically aggressive towards me if I tried to bond with her. I learnt to stay well out of her way. Yet it was like this weird world where we were so isolated in London with so many people surrounding me that could have stepped in and provided me with a loving caregiver but my experience as a child had been reduced to just my mum and siblings because of the modern day set up. People need community and I’m proof of that. Not all of us are blessed to have functional parents so we need the extended family to step in and provide support. The state is supposed to be that safety net but they fail children and vulnerable people time and time again. What I would have given as a child to have someone hug me after school. The sad truth is I know there are good people out there who would have but I was out of reach and sight to the rest of the world. Thank you for bringing these topics to light 🙏🏼

The community is the safety net. In a community people say "let's work together and help this person". In a government-centric system people say "let's force people to help at gunpoint (state tax collector), then sit back and not be bothered to do anything else". It's lack of connection that allows abuse.

    You absolutely have to be your own advocate, and DO NOT depend on any positive energy nor communication from your family when you go no-contact. Stand firm in your recovery, and choose your family and friends as though your life depends on it, because it does. The sooner we realize this, and stay headstrong about it, the easier our recovery will be.

    I was with who I suspect was a covert narcissist for 4years. He always played the victim, always someone out to get him etc. It has been 4 months since he left me and I now realise that I knew basically nothing about him. We never lived together, cause my parents lived with me as my mom was very sick. She died last year Oct., I became depressed and between him, my grieving dad and my kids, he started complaining I wasn't paying enough attention to him. My explaining my depression, my other responsibilities fell on deaf ears. He didn't try to help, or actually showed much empathy. So he started a month long online affair with a woman on the other side of the country, while still telling me he loves me until the day before she packed up her life and moved with her little daughter to live with him. (Think she has issues too). From what I have heard his personality has done a 180° degree turn with her, suddenly he is in incredible debt etc. It just boggles the mind🙄

    Thank you for the work you do and the effort that you give in the process. Brilliant Conversation. I believe, just as you pointed out, the power of numbers in small groups forces accountability. Not everyone has Integrity. I say this out loud quite a bit, that if there had been a third party present in the majority of arguments regarding morality with family members, friends and significant others, those disagreements would have ended much sooner, and with less resistance. Exceptionally less gaslighting for sure. Unfortunately my dichotomy always has me feeling sorry for the aggressor because I realize it is in fact not their fault, but a trait that has either been passed down through generations (and/or) caused from trauma. This has always led to giving eternal forgiveness, yet always being the only one to ever apologize.

    Don't feel sorry for them as they know exactly what they are doing as they know right from wrong as society dictates this. Feeling sorry for them makes you an easy target by a narcissist. It lays your life wide for a narcissist to come in and invade and destroy your life. You have to hold them accountable as this will prevent a hostile takeover of your piece, happiness, and causing total destruction in your life.

    Narcissism was alive and well always. It was just not widely understood or talked about back then. With the internet and social media we have so much more access to information and the ability to share it than we did previously. Before, if you were living with a narcissist you probably just thought You were the crazy one and had no one to turn to for help.

    This is completely fascinating how he’s talking about how narcissism grew because of industrialization and people becoming less connected to each other where they could hide it. It makes me think of all the houses in the hills in LA how that may have started with wealthy rich narcissists being able to hide the things they are doing a way from the rest of the world. Then it became a trend associated with status and then therefore weird narcissistic traits just seemed excusable as that’s just how rich people act.

    Great video! For me there was nothing to find out, I could tell all of this already, from the very first interaction, however long ago it was and even when somebody starts to lean into developing a narcissistic personality if they weren't one before. As someone who grew up very quiet, being observant is like my middle name. It's effortless and very easy to read people, good people and bad. I have had my fair share of narcissism directed my way and everything you said is on point. I see them watching and copying me even though they act like I am insignificant. However much they think people rate them, I know they believe I rate them way more way more than I actually do, and that is not at all. The very decision they make to obsess over you just to hurt you shows that you are all they think about which is in itself, ironic.

    My mother changed in prison. I'm not qualified to say she was fully a narcissist... I don't think so. (I suspect I have the most docile of the narcissistic tendencies myself now from her, if you could rate those qualifiers that don't hurt others by the ones that do.) I have very good relationships but maybe I'm a little fantasy prone? Idk. (Someone would have to come tell me I'm imagining things if that were the case. So far so good! 😅 ) Maybe her story is context-specific, as you taught me a few months ago. Context specific narcissism, I mean, due to alcohol. I love her still... that will never change. There is no denying how much she's changed during her time in lock up. I always feel like she makes sure to hang up on good terms. It's tangible- her efforts. I also value that principle "don't go to bed angry" ❤... so it's something we've both been working on and I'm really glad for it. It finally feels like I have my mother back.
