Narcissists really hate it when you finally have had enough of their BS and you stand up for yourself. Now they're going to turn everyone against you.

If you are in a relationship or marriage or family relation with a narcissist I give you a recommendation from my life: RUN

Today is my 3 year anniversary with my covert narc husband. I feel absolutely nothing today as I did a year ago when I found Dr. Carter's channel and began to understand many things. I can't even cry from the pain, I just feel dead inside. It's hard to pick up and leave when there's a child involved and he's the sole financial provider. It feels like I'm standing at the base of Mt. Everest when I think about finding a new and better life for myself and my child. It's also hard when the covert narc plays the suffering victim role and begins to make me question if I am in fact the mean one for being resentful and bitter towards him. My body and soul rejects the narc from three years of emotional and intellectual verbal abuse I've endured regularly. If I can keep my interior peace and remember not to feed his need for negative supply, I could come out on top. This life is only a pilgrimage anyways, the pain and suffering won't last forever. Actually, I feel so defeated.

I had a toxic person in my life who would share a fact about me, something actually true, but then she would add her judgement about this fact, twisting things to make me look very bad.

In my case, my family is very far flung, and I haven't had the ability to travel for visits. I've never spent a significant amount of time with any of them. However, my older sibling with NPD has been able to visit all of them, frequently. She used to absolutely love reporting to me that this or that older relative agreed with her about how bad I was. All my life I felt unable to counter her narrative and present myself to them, myself. I lived with the feeling that she had already poisoned the well, so I felt too ashamed and embarrassed to try and show them that I might be a more worthy person than how she always painted me. There were a few times when I cross checked with the other relatives, to find out if it was true that they agreed with her about me. Invariably, they told me that they had never said any such a thing. Unfortunately, I still feel too shy to try and build relationships with those distant people. It's like, that ship sailed. Maybe in part because she still visits them sometimes. I guess, even though I believe they didn't totally buy all of her stories about me, I still feel weird about trying to convince anyone that I'm an decent person.

Also, I knew I was in for a long night as our ER is usually minimum of 4 hours to be seen. I did not leisurely eat my meal, I wolfed it down so I could take him, still saying he didn't need to go. He had dislocated his shoulder. When we finally made to an exam room, he was passed out, snoring very loudly. What an evil person I am!!! Anybody with any sense knows there are 2 sides to any story. I'm sure his family believes his version though, just another brick in the wall so they wouldn't like me, I'm sure.

We the scapegoated ones, chose people similar to our family experiences. We knew no better, we learned how to appease the broken to keep the peace. Always in our head of how difficult certain friends were, but we absorbed it and tried to make nice because that was how we survived. We give to many chances to toxic people. Once the narc starts spreading the manipulation and lies to all others to isolate you, they follow! Those are not our people and unfortunately we learn the hard way as one by one they turn. The biggest lesson is we deserve better anyways. Bye bye bitches😊

When I was in my twenties, I had a friend round one evening. As i left the room, I heard my father say to my friend, "He talks about you behind your back." I confronted my father immediately. My friend was visibly upset. It wasn't true, what my father said, so when my friend had gone, I asked my father again. "Why would you say that?" "I don't know," he replied, chuckling. My friendship was never the same.

I had a narcissist partner talk badly about me behind my back to his family for years. I had no idea, I never understood his adult kids and brother were so cold and awkward towards me. I began to avoid them after years of trying to fit in. Then I was berated and abused for not wanting to be close to his kids and “disliking” them all after I tried so hard to be accepted. I finally found out that he was causing the situation all along by saying all kinds of things to them about me. It came out when his narc Mom starting telling me off for no reason one day at a family event. I finally realized he was feeding them BS to dislike me and then blaming me saying I had a problem with his family…disgusting

People who were bullied as a child often turn into bullies as an adult.

I am dealing with this exact issue yet again at work- it never stops. Our entire culture is narcissistic. Cooperation is looked down upon as weakness. The more abusive to the company and coworkers, the more powerful these people become. Most people don’t seem to like it, but no one seems to want to step up and hold the toxic coworkers accountable, even when they have the power to do so. I had an incident with a coworker yesterday ( as a single working class female, I get to see the worst of human nature). I just simply let him know I felt disrespected by the way he handled a situation. And true to form, he became loud and angry as a means of intimidation. No doubt another smear campaign is on its way. People have become very hateful. Dr. Carter is right about keeping these things to yourself. People do victim blame. It’s hard but I just try to remember who I am.

@Ghost-User Certainly there are plenty of narcissistic women; certainly there are plenty of narcissistic poor and working class people; certainly there are plenty of narcissistic people of color; but the difference between oppression and everyday acts of meanness is that the larger institutions--schools, courts, police-- tend to allow men, rich people, white people, heterosexual people-- to get away with more misbehavior, and tend to make a bigger deal out of any misbehavior by someone in a historically "subordinate" category. As one example, mass shootings are still overwhelmingly gendered. If women, gay people, people of color were the ones building big personal arsenals of semiautomatic weapons and conducting mass shootings--not that I recommend such a scenario-- we would get vigorous gun control laws overnight.

Timely- I am recently divorced, attempting to coparent, and in the last few weeks my ex has taken his lies and belittling to a whole new level. I never, even on his worst days of abusive behavior, would have thought he could sink so low...

The amazing thing is that as people believe them, they believe themselves. In my own life all these years later, the false narrative has replaced the truth, and my family has forgotten major events because they didn't fit into the story they were telling. I learned what some of these lies were over the years because they actually told them to me and it was clear they had written reality out of the story, and replaced it with a false narrative they now believed was the truth.

This was very helpful. I've been so confused about why I have family, who have been so back stabbing towards me.

On that topic, the father of my child, ex…., had called my close “friend” and told her plenty of bad things about me, most of which untrue, and all in his distorted narcissistic mind. She didn’t even tell me. Months later, he left me a message in which he informed me he had spoken to my “friend” for about an hour on the phone, etc., and that he was happy to inform me that “[I] have come to my senses.” Both him and that friend are malignant narcissists, him an overt one, and her, a covert one. I do not communicate with him at all. As for her, I did not see her for a while, saw her again as she is my daughter’s “godmother,” but I have been trying to get as little contact as possible and is in the process of cutting all contact. She is really an awful person (and so was the father of my child.) She too had spread lies and turned some people against me just as she cannot admit losing control over me. Problem is that my daughter doesn’t see how she is; she has not always been nice to my daughter. I tried to explain to my daughter that she is not like a fairy godmother. She had money and was generous to my daughter so my daughter is blinded by the gifts.

I don't talk about certain situations in my past or specific situations because I learned there is no need to retraumatise yourself from my therapist. Living through it is enough.

When I had my last and final beef with my sibling and we stopped communicating, her husband and her three children vanished in a flash. And my daugther also lost contact with my sisters family, for no reason at all really. Last thing I heard, my daugther arranged a festivity that relatives were supposed to attend. My sister and her family didn't come, and the excuse was the conflict that me and my sister had (!). So... five people were drawn into a conflict that they weren't involved in. In my experience, narcissists have a tendency to expand conflicts and create chaos. They pull bystanders into the conflict, turning them against you. Narcissists love to create fractions and divide and conquer. And the weird things is, my sister and her husband initiated the conflict, doing things that were illegal, plain and simple. A narcissists ability to turn situations around and turn people against you, is truly amazing. In a legal sense, I was 100% correct, but I end up being scapegoated, cut off from a whole family.

I'm struggling with this too, and it is so hard to watch other people buy a negative storyline about us, but I believe the conventional wisdom is to go and vent and heal in a safe place, with either safe friends who adore you or with a therapist (who understands narcissism! Many do not), and whatever you do, do not confront the narcissist about their behavior, stay as calm and un-reactive as you can, stick to superficial topics and minimize your time with them. Remember that the narc wants to get you to react, if they can't have your admiration, then getting other strong emotional reactions is food for them. Remember that they are just trying to provoke you to "dance." When you go "grey rock" you just stay mild and bland and unreactive. Sadly, they will most likely escalate the provocative/ insulting behavior to try toget a rise out of you, but do your best to keep your cool.

I just caught mine cheating... walked right in and opened the door and they fell in the doorway all over each other.. disgusting. So, after I addressed it, she went on a rampage, got involved with another guy, then got issues going with him. Later, she kept trying to cause us two men to fight over her! She had a restraining order against her and him, but she kept running over to his house screaming insults... then she got her son arrested for attacking this other guys home, then admitted it was all in an attempt to get us to fight! I could have hurt the other men, or been hurt myself, and all of us would have been arrested... and this is what she truly wanted! Narcs aren’t worth it. Get away. I hope that helps. God bless you.

Just went through every part of this with a very bad boss. I knew I was dealing with a narcissist for the last year, wasn't overly concerned about it, just made a pattern of deflecting and avoiding her behaviors. Honestly, had to feel a little bad for all the intense insecurity we could see her experiencing. She was in over her head with her new position and I think felt trapped and desperate to prove her capability. Ironically the team was supportive and wanted to see her succeed but she convinced herself otherwise. Sadly her behavior became increasingly very, very dishonest, mean, intentional, sneaky and got to the point of aggressive and delusional over the last couple weeks. At which point, our entire team put in notice and left the job. Had no recourse with HR or our executive director. She'd already expertly framed herself as the victim of "unsupportive staff" to them and they sided with her. We are all very happy to be done with dealing with this. I genuinely hope there is some form of recovery for her.

You are not a bad person for venting about your narc partner.

Point blank lies. Very true. A narcissist formerly in my life told people that I refused to let people into my home. I was baffled by this until I traced it back to one, single incident where they wanted to host Thanksgiving dinner at my place and I told them I wasn't up for it that year. It is a favorite tactic of theirs to cherry-pick one incident, misrepresent how it happened, and then say you ALWAYS do that.

"Demonize those who support you!" 🎯 Wow! Yes, Dr Carter every item on your list is spot on! I wish I had learned all of this as a teen because it would have prevented years of pain.

I have experienced this all my life, the gossip in the family that had no basis in truth. No one cares enough to talk to me about anything, they just believe what the narcissist says and treat me in mean ways. It is an entirely narcissistic family system. All of what you say Dr. C is what I have experienced and have had to remove myself from the family.

I do not get along with anyone who has the narc in their ear. Not one person 🥴

Accidentally hit send...used against me by my husband. I think I may have an 8th one to add. How about when the narcissist confidentialy appeals to a friend of yours for help in dealing with you and your terrible secret and hurtful behaviors. Of course they're lying about you, but I guess the one hearing the lies might think it must be true because why else would a loved one speak these things unless they were desperate for help! So, so devious and hateful. I find great comfort in knowing that GOD knows my heart. He knows it all and, in the end, that's what matters. Thank you again Dr. C, for the validation your insightful words provide...especially this topic.
