Once sexting is brought in- and out of nowhere- something else is about to come to light.. so you stay as quiet as possible.. and it’s no surprise that someone does this a LOT if they know exactly what to say without thinking- but…. There’s always a catch. The love bombs stop and you become everything they hate… It doesn’t have to be like this but, when ya don’t ask, and it’s sprung on you outta nowhere？ Think… and see how quickly they pull all that away, OR what they ask right after. Yer always overreacting even when yer not saying anything🫣🤷‍♂️ I don’t get addicted if I feel someone is trying to do that- I have to remove myself. The person was worthy of EVERYTHING but: it’s one thing to accept it gracefully and another to expect more and more when you just don’t have anymore to give atm. 🌟🏞️🌅 Demanding- period.. knowing someone doesn’t do what they’re asking you to do, no worries if it kills you so long as they get that hit? I don’t fear abandonment it’s been done enough I just don’t care anymore, sometimes you gotta abandon someone who’s never been, or they’ll always think they’re better than everyone. As you may love them, want to have children with them as well as protect them forever- but if you can’t rest enough to be YOU🤷‍♂️ the ups and downs will wear on you- it’s a tactic to make you not think straight, clouds all realistic thought.. just like they want.. meanwhile saying “I have faith and trust in you!” Then show it! I still did the damn thing got everything done and she didn’t need lift a finger or spend a cent- wasn’t enough. All the sudden it wasn’t “I’m coming in a month and 1/2” it was “Come get me now or you don’t care about me!”🤦🏼 Don’t do that, cuz if yer being demanded to do something yer not comfortable with, or to do it much earlier than planned, that’s not conducive to everything yer planning and doing. Be careful, you could end up dead and will they care? Or call you names cuz you drove 12hrs straight- and had 12 more to do next day. After 2 weeks of running all day and night to find a place. Well I did, I did everything I promised. If someone says “I NEED time” and the other only thinks “But this is MY day this is about ME” it’s not going to change and they’ll make you believe it’s ok for them to act like that… it’s not. Sometimes you can give someone everything and it’s never going to be enough 💔🦑🌟 Yeah- 12:32 confuse you and being dominant, if that’s their kink- say so don’t play one way. Oh wow that last part 13:32 I’ve had that come through a few times, but usually it’s the control and the “set up” for what they really want. If they tell you everyone is just keeping you in their back pocket- that’s what they are. Treat me like a punching bag… this sigma will go, I’ll try everything I can, but I won’t lose ME good luck all🫶🙏🙌❤️‍🩹😂🧖🏼‍♂️🌟💚

Unfortunately most people do not know that they are dealing with a narcissist until it is too late. Rule number one (in business or romance); Never share too much information. They WILL use it against you later....guaranteed. In fact, until you get to know a person, this should be a personal boundary. There are too many toxic people on this planet. Keep compromising secrets to yourselff.

Actually when you've done some healing work and specially work with boundaries to keep my inner child and true self safe I am quicker to recognize the narcistitic energy. I need relationships where I can be and share my true self , and get my needs for connection met. Narcs have a need to control others its a mismatch. They need to be the coolest person always. Allowing for little real and authentic connection. I chose to be in healthy relationships where I can be and share my true self shine and take my own space, and healthy boundaries help me find and chose available people and places where I can do that . Cheers. Fellow travelers. My values include freedom. because I grew up in a narcissistic home. I need to have healthy boundaries and the freedom to be my true self and take my space. It doesnt match anymore with me and narcs and thats just a result of this healing work, may we continue to find available people and places to keep sharing my true self. Im worth it in a good way .

Learnt this the hard way. It's like having your soul ripped out.

“…and they will break all their promises to you.” All of them, indeed. Plus, my ex went from wishing me good morning and good night every day, sending texts and calling, to ignore me throughout the whole day, until I reached out to her. She’d always claim that she was simply “too busy.” I knew something was wrong. The discard came three months after she became withdrawn, after six years of relationship. On those days in which I tried to talk to her, to reason, to understand what was going on (I didn’t know about NPD at the time), she felt like a COMPLETELY different person. She had no patience at me. She looked annoyed talking to me. Or she’d look uninterested. I’d stare at her eyes and there was nothing there. Rest assured: time heals. You’ll get better.

I dated a spot on narcissist a few years ago, everything she talks about is experienced. When this girl thought she had me, I set the ball in motion to vanish completely. She was love bombing me for weeks, when she was comfortable enough she turned the screws, after she saw I was disconnected from her and 3 seconds away from vanishing sure enough she started throwing Hail Marys at me to try and reel me back in. She put the mask back on and tried pretending it was like day 3 of us dating again, “I don’t want to lose you, I’m so happy I found you” Yada yada yada, I’ll never forget the last time she was in my car before driving away and never seeing her again, I barely spoke a word to her as she tried “working it out” with me after work, I could see the surrender in her body language like she knew she pushed too hard, and was only “upset” because she couldn’t get more out of me before I smartened up. Narcissistic people are pure evil, don’t be a sucker. I’ll never forget my gut telling me something was wrong, I even said that to myself almost everytime we hung out, something isn’t right, there’s something off about this relationship. It was all true

And That's definitely narcissistic projection and deflection at their finest right there - claiming something (in this case misinformation in the comments) while doing the same thing (in this case adding to the misinformation in the comments). 😂👏👏👏👏👏

Two weeks after we broke up I saw her one last time and we talked about things. We talked for 3 hours and the more time passed, the more she was sure that a relationship is not a choice anymore. She always physically kept distance to me and all of her body language was showing me she was somehow repelled or fearful, who knows. I was being a little bit desperate and asking her again again if we couldn't think it through a bit more. She searched for any excuse to end the conversation. After I genuinely told her "okay, well in that case let's search for new partners although personally I don't want any right now", said goodbye and went home she bombarded me with text messages just a few minutes after portraying herself as the victim and that if I ever wanted her back I should do x and y, and how badly and insensitive I treated her. It wasn't the first time she did this manipulative on/off thing with me. Luckily I pulled the plug early enough, only 2.5 months in. Wished her well and blocked her from all social media.

What I've been doing is asking chat GPT on how to respond to my Narcissist texting. By out lining the Narcissist request or bread crumbing techniques and carrot on the stick tactics and asking the robot on how I can respond? So far so good.. I can hear my Narcissist cogs spinning, while at the same time managing to avoid being further gaslit and avoiding confusion. So far it's working Wonder's..

She doesn't comment on your friends or relatives even when she knows them. she wants to castrate you and she will do it sooner or later. She is neurotic, dissatisfied, and all the good times you had with her were created by you alone, and you don't have to miss them after the breakup, you will create them elsewhere.

I just got out of a marriage of 30 years with a narcissist. I never knew much about this disorder but ever since she walked out on me 2 months ago and I found videos on the subject it has explained her completely and perfectly. It has also helped with the pain and heartbreak. This video was the final nail in her coffin for me nailed her to a T.

People are too quick to put labels on others (which by itself is a narcissistic trait lol) when they have very little to go by. Say someone has a bad day, is stressed, they snarkily reply to someone after being asked a question: "OMG HE'S A NARCISSIST!". Or people meet someone with other mental health issues like BPD: "OMG, HE'S A NARCISSIST!". Generally there's too little knowledge about this stuff and people pick up on terms like narcissism, borderline, sociopathy/psychopathy from pop culture and start using them when they are clueless about the depth and diversity that these terms represent and how they express themselves. Same goes for people that put labels on themselves solely for attention and use their diagnosis as a means of getting attention from others for being unique and different, making their diagnosis their personality. Crazy stuff.

Turns out there's an app that allows others to use your phone number (aka faked) to send text as something You Said. They can use an app to pretend a phone number was saying something or calling which is false. These apps need to be sued.

This describes my experience with a younger guy. He kept texting me for over two years but could barely follow through with plans, typical future faker. I finally just blocked him. I won’t know when he reaches out again but that’s the point. I’m all done.

For non sexual relationships, the lack of boundaries around sex or nudity, sexual coversation etc is a red flag. The lack of boundaries about time, length, frequency and subject matter of communication is always a red flag. No matter the type of communication. Thankyou for this summary.

This video is incredibly insightful. I completely agree that sexting, abrupt stops, back and forth and nonsensical texting are often indicative of narcissistic abuse. Almost pathognomonic. Your detailed explanations are invaluable. For instance, I never fully understood the nonsensical texts until now, and I believe it's a combination of laziness, devaluation, and provocation in my ex-narcissist's case. Thank you immensely for your important work; I'm certain it's helping numerous individuals, specially man, that have so little resources online. On a personal note, I have a tip to share. Since I'm not yet able to go full no-contact, I changed the narc’s name in my contact list to a link leading to one of your videos. Whenever she tries to contact/ hoover , I watch it. I've only needed to do this once, but it was incredibly effective.

This man is smart.

One sure fire way to protect yourself is by not getting attached for at least one year. It’s frustrating to not be able to fully open up, but the truth is that narcissists are everywhere in our world. They can AND DO fake a personality for the first 6months to a year… get you hooked then completely flip the script once you’re already attached. Don’t let this happen. Keep space for a while, while dating. Narcissists will not be able to stay around that long without revealing their truth.

Absolutely true. The best safety measure with new relationships, even friendships, is taking it slow. People with personality disorders of all kinds are impatient, because they're compelled to USE people instead of forming connections with them.

This is exactly what o experienced last year with a single mother, she was full of no accountability, unreasonable negative attitude in public and double standards not being held constant roller coaster and random fires for me to put out This content helped me realize and confirm I wasn’t crazy and needed to let go Thank you

This channel has saved me from the shared fantasy and my part in it , my narc lied about being asleep but wasn't home at all 😮I ended it . We've cycled three times previously taking big breaks and he re entered the final time with the lazy "wrong person text"😮. He leaves for Europe in 10 days and when he returns I'll be moved to my new home I bought , and out of the apt complex we both live at . I see I was just miss money bags and toxic mommy and rubber doll

My narc friend used me as his psychiatrist always dumping his problems on me then when we'd meet up all I got was abuse. Got sick of it and walked away. Best thing I ever did 😊

Number 7 can easily be used by anyone trying to get out of a relationship. Especially When you have been in a trauma bond for a long period of time and are trying to stay strong because you finally see the truth. It's extremely confusing on how to let go and to remain strong while they're trying to love bomb the crap out of you while you're trying to leave. Saying "I love you, but I can't be with you" does not make you a narcissist by any means, telling someone you do not feel "emotionally safe" is not narcissistic by any means either... or other comments from number 7. When they use I love you to gain back your trust only to crush you again three days later that's where the cruelty comes in. There's a big difference between a narcissist and someone trying to escape toxicity.

Great video! For those of you who aren’t familiar with this women she is the very best online for us men who have been through this nightmare.

They also send you several messages and delete them before you're able to read them, so you can only see 'deleted message' and they'll be waiting for you to ask them what they wrote. Advice: don't ask them anything and they will get totally confused 😅

You say 'before you are able to read them', what does this mean? How long should one wait? She talked here about a couple of days as bad, that says you are unimportant. What about 2 weeks or one month? I think a few days okay, or even if you delete, it is the for the person deleting comfort. I guess both sides might take issue, not good to ignore, and not good to delete? It is not good to be left on read, period.

Wow. Your vlog on many of the tactics employed by narcissists is one of the more succinct and thorough descriptions I’ve ever come across, and I’ve been studying this topic for the last few years. You touched on every single phase of my last relationship with a narcissist, describing his exact behaviors with me throughout my 18 months with him. Thank you for validating my experience. I’ve certainly come across my fair share of flying monkeys, so it’s always a great resource and comfort to come across a professional telling it like it is.

This is right on the nail -- If only I knew about this beforehand! Thank you for this video!

perfectly describes someone that's been messing with me for quite a while, thank you.

Lise Leblanc you described it as it is 100%.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge of narcissistic behavior. I learn more just from listening to different psychologists, therapist, counselors and people who have been through this.

Thank You Lise !!!! You are so smart, If I could only be half as smart as you!!! Your channel is the best time I have ever had on KZread!!! I don't know what I would do without your insight !!! Calling you perfect would be an understatement !!!!! I can't wait to see your next video!!!

What about texts like, -are you thinking bout me -do you miss me - do you want to "attack" me -do you love me today It's constant a every day occurance. I don't ever know how to respond?

Thank you for helping me figure out what was going wrong. You are spot on for me. Everything you have said is what he has done. It’s hurtful to know now what has been going on but it’s also bittersweet because now I feel like I can walk away knowing it was nothing that I have done wrong. Thank you.

Oh boy are you right! Thankfully we have people like you who help us remember we’re not going crazy from these people. They would hate knowing they’re so transparent once we have the knowledge to recognize them!

What a great analysis! Thank you! I noticed some of these things. They could tell you you are special,but somehow you feel like everyone is special , so if you are special just like anyone else, it makes you no special at all!! 😂

Perfect description, remember bein told im too busy at work which ppl can be also toldnot to text asmuch so i didnt then was told i was not texting on purpose i can laugh now but back then you dont know where you coming or going.

Thank you Lise- Best video I've seen. Amazingly insightful. I went through ALL of this over 8-9 months, almost to the word, particularly the sexting and ghosting. I was completely blindsided with a break-up text which was eerily similar and equally as confusing as the example you used. I'm only just recovering 7 months later to the point where I've disconnected enough emotionally to see what I was dealing with. I blamed myself for months and went to some very dark places. I ended up diagnosed with an anxiety disorder for a while because this relationship was so toxic. If it wasn't for these types of insights and a good therapist, I would have carried the shame and confusion of this relationship for the rest of my life. I can't express how much knowledge is the key to recovery.

You are the best Lise Leblanc! Thanks for your wonderful insights. Your destroyed me in your videos but taught me everything i needed to know. The best reflections ever - please keep making your videos. So much relatable truth which results in knowlede and understanding and ultimately change.,

All this sounds so on point, a definite familiarity in my experience…unfortunately. Had to end it myself. ❤

Jesus, it’s just scary how many of these they did. I know I had/have my own issues, so I just always thought I was the problem but it became so confusing to the point I literally didn’t know what to do anymore.

Wow! What a great video! You literally nailed it! Thank you! God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️

Thanks so much for this:). Really needed it today.

Excellent job Lise

Thank u Lise. U have always been spot on. Ur narrative here is like unwrapping my experience day by day with the narc. I hope u make a video on how these ppl end up in their lives in general. Is there any such thing as what goes around comes around for these little monsters?

So learning - thank you for your videos. Regards Norway

Absolutely accurate! Thank you.

This is the most practical, informative video. I can take these conversations anywhere and understand the type of energy I'm experiencing from an individual. For trusting people, this is simply good. Some of it can be applied work, circumstantial, etc friendships. Thanks 😊

First like and Comment Lise .. . Thanks for all you do… God Bless

Good,explaining with examples,in detail.

Watching all the vids i can about this "disorder" you can never have enough information 😊

My nex couldn't talk because of a motorcycle accident, so texting was our sole form of communocation when we weren't together. He utilized every last one of these techniqies. I'm still amazed that they all seem to go by the same rulebook...it's crazy.

That has not necessarily to do with narcissism. Not from the other anyway, though it could be, depends. Some things are obvious boundaries, but the thing you described isnt one of them. People responding to text with a phone call are not boundary violators ..unless.. they would know about that boundary of yours.

Lise, you nailed 100% the love bombing phase is what happened to me and she sucked me in into a vortex that caused me a tremendous mental damage when she dumped me 4 months later

Very attractive and well spoken woman😊

Hearing this is scarily accurate. He would call me from work with a somber voice saying he needed to speak with me about something and when I asked what it was… it was about our relationship and he wasn’t sure if he could stay in the relationship. (He was consistently threatening to leave me) He would then be at work and wouldn’t be able to speak about it properly and I would be left feeling anxious. Why would someone do that? When you truly love someone, you don’t do those things. He would threaten the relationship on a consistent basis and I would feel discombobulated a lot of the time because I was trying to save what we had. It was so dysfunctional. Looking back, I cannot fathom why I put up with such terrible behaviour.

Thanks!
