I was a victim of my family, my ex, and then I finally realized my daughter was a covert narcissist, like her dad, last year after she had her baby and I helped her recover. I was so busy dealing with their behavior I had no idea what it was. She smeared me to her new family and I walked away devastated. I’ve recently recovered to the point that I know one of my biggest fears is how others see me. And that if I can get over these lies I’ll be so much better. So if they want to believe them, so be it. I’ll be the biggest supposedly abuser in my head and think how everyone hates me. Doing that has kind of numbed me to it. It’s not true, I was set up. So I can not care and go on knowing I don’t have to tear others down. The gift in this is I’m healing my dependency issues from childhood sexual and mental abuse. I stayed enslaved through everyone, including my daughter. My son has been the one to keep me sane because he’d call out her lies when i didn’t have the strength to.

They are EXTREMELY good at being charming, charismatic, “loving.” Being with a narcissistic is mind melting; you can’t get a grasp on reality, because they’re gaslighting you, and you end up questioning yourself. It’s a horrible state to be in. I hope to never be involved with another one in my lifetime!

Yes it really messes me up. Now when a man is sincerely nice to me and i am scared i am being gaslit and played with. I try not to think like that though, i try to not let my past ruim my future. I want to trust this man. The only solution is to be aware of any real red flags and to run as soon as I dont like it anymore or if there is any drama. Once you accept the possibility of ending up alone, you don't accept bad behaviour of anyone anymore. Same with jobs. Become a little (financially) independent and you can always run. In relationships it is the same. Have an emotional bank account with an emotional reserve so you always have the mental strength to be alone. It is as easy as accepting that life is doable on your own too.

According to J.Franklin ("Death by Enchantment", London 1971), the priests of Satan (witches and sorcerers) adopt a sweet, pleasant, kind, friendly, very cooperative external behavior to better hide the will to destroy all those they have sympathy for them and trust their smiling face. These elect do not attend traditional groups and indeed speak out clearly against covens such as Gardner's Wicca, but often bind themselves to a few other elect. Perverse by nature, they have no need to cultivate the arcana of classic sorcery. Franklin's questionnaire would give concordant and precise indications that isolated witches are antisocial, quarrelsome right from school age, persecuted by other children (considered vulgar and stupid, moreover, by the witch) who torment the strange companion because they are jealous of her position, of his intellectual superiority. But the brilliant mental qualities of witches - Franklin continues - remain superficial; their character, marked by some suffering in childhood, by lack of parental guidance, make these subjects perfect vehicles for demons: one of them takes the future witch by storm when she becomes a woman and guides her towards the path of witchcraft. Franklin then sees the "normal" life of the predestined to witchcraft unfold like this: very young, the witches choose even before leaving school, without hesitation or hesitation or mistakes, a young, sensitive and tender man who they manage to persuade of their deep love , until he gets to marry the witch who is now happy to have the first victim; tormenting her unfortunate husband in every way, she reduces him to a coward, worthy of contempt; slowly leads him to depression, to the loss of vital energy: himself an unknown victim of witchcraft, he will die precisely of this lowering of his vital dynamism ...

Narcissists' nightmare is the truth seeker and speaker...

You are so on point. As long as I smile and do what my parents ask me then they are semi-fine. I mean semi-fine because they still treat me like I have some ulterior motive and I am out to hurt them and people in general. Basic projection. But if I was to flat out say “no” to anything the masks come off and the dehumanization and put downs begin. They are smiling one moment and the next they are raaaaaaaging. Just going off on you, tearing down your character and whatever else they think will hurt you. And I am almost 49. I live on the other side of a very big country than them, but with social media and phones in general they can pop a little probing message on your phone screen whenever they want. They used to leave notes on the kitchen counter for me when I would wake up in the morning before school. The notes would tell me how I intentionally hurt them in some way. One night I was tired from school and fell asleep in bed without saying goodnight. When I woke up the next and came downstairs there was a note for me on he kitchen counter table. “By going to bed without saying goodnight you are telling us to F**k Off.” They then continued to give me the silent treatment and treated with disdain for the entire week because of it. I had to bow my head and apologize for telling them to apparently F Off…… Made me think all people were like this and if you didn’t follow all social norms to the letter than people had a right to treat you like garbage because so obviously you are.

They mirror/copy and mock your empathy.

What's painful is realizing that my father is this person, and that my mother has lost more than forty years of life striving to win his love and approval, he started a lifelong affair with a close relative and there's this constant, ever present threat that we, the adult children will eventually "know." He uses this relative as a control lever, getting my mom to agree to everything he does, to automatically jump to his defense whenever others put their foot down, and worse of all to be an accomplice in his manipulative activities or lie on his behalf. I've made a conscious decision not to ever marry, after having observed this appalling dynamic. After forty-plus years of trying to survive in this twisted family system of smoke and mirrors, I believe the least I deserve is some peace with a cat on my lap.

They are masters at being chameleons. They adapt and change shape, colour and behaviour depending on who they're with. That's why you often hear neighbours and friends of serial killers say: "Oh I never suspected anything. He/she seemed like such a likeable, quiet and peaceful human being. I'm in absolute shock!".

Then when you awaken, you try to expose this sub human devil and you are summarily judged "crazy" and dropped by all like a sack of steaming 💩. It is an absolute Machiavellian nightmare to go through and no one understands, not even your spouse or close friends (if you have any, which I didn't only my husband). They turn everyone against you secretly long before you know what's happening. But hindsight is 20/20. Looking back to family gatherings and how extended family acted strange around you, almost nervous and avoidant, staring at you from across the room as though you had mustard all over your chin or acting as though you were invisible and not worth their time, barely acknowledging you, or acting over the top fake, so much so that even you notice something is amiss with these people. It is witchcraft. Witchcraft is manipulation of the minds of other people. It's like being Rosemary in the horror flick Rosemary's Baby or Carrie in the horror movie "Carrie"...

@sgtmuffinbadger6147

I feel you

So very true. Especially the bit about - you have to live with them to know what they are really like. My father was a narcissist, most likely a malignant narcissist. And he did my head in in a way that still at 53 I am dealing with the fall out. It unfortunately changed the course of my life at a young age and left me grappling with his problems transplanted into me. Their ability to lie outright with utter conviction is amazing. But I also learnt some things about them. They are vacuous people, they are empty and almost ‘devour’ other people’s energy and will and personality. They innately view others around them as ‘objects’ to be manipulated for their gain. A partner, or a child is simply another appendage to them or a trophy to reflect their own delusional self view - the Grand Lie they have told themselves from a long time ago. I believe this starts early in life and is set before the age of about 10 years old. Their actions towards their siblings, friends and work colleagues slowly reveal who they are. But you would need to know them intimately to connect the dots to all the behaviours and incidents. When you first meet a narcissist and you experience that ‘glow of attention; they give you - just remember - you are like a rabbit in headlights and they wish to devour/consume/control whatever it is about you they desire. And usually this is something that equates to an insecurity or something they lack, or something the perceive will greatly support their own deluded story of self. And when their new favourite ‘focus/toy/interest/appendage’ does not dance as the narcissist wants them to (or they stop fulfilling the narcissistic need), then they turn their wrath and complete destruction upon that person who has ‘let them down/attacked them’ as they perceive it. They really perceive anyone NOT dancing to thier tune as a personal act to destroy them. This is the truth and why I say they are ultimately weak and vacuous. But this also makes them dangerous as they are devoid of any empathy and see things through a lens of destroy or be destroyed. What they perceive as destruction is actualy the truth/feedback combing to them about their dysfunctional personalities. And this contradicts the Great Delusional Lie they have repeated as a mantra to themselves and everyone around them -about themselves. My advice - if you happen to meet and befriend someone who is a narcissist - if you feel love bombed at first, but then more and more controlled (ex access to friends, past activities you used to enjoy) AND you find yourself questioning yourself as being in the wrong with every issue you bring up with your partner - run don’t walk. Get out of their orbit even for a few days and spend time with someone who knows you well and discuss…for those born under a narcissist - this is much harder. All I can say from my personal experience is this: Give up on achieving ANY kind of resolution/understanding with your narcissistic parent. They will live and sleep much happier than you and will never lose a moment of worry, thinking about how you have been affected and if they were in any way responsible. They will genuinely think YOU are being narcissistic and tell everyone a story of how they are so worried about you. They will NEVER see anything but their own POV and story. Any tears they yr or sympathy they express is just another method to flip the script and ‘win’ by manipulating you again. Unfortunately..I tried to talk with my father for many years. And he would talk - but once in all those years I managed to drag him kicking and screaming (emotionally) to the truth of his actions and for a second I saw the madness, the emptiness and the panicked terrified fear flash across his eyes and I realised - no matter what I said - he cannot acknowledge this - it would destroy him. And so he passed away peacefully a few years later. In his own strange way he still wanted me to be apart of his life, as long as I fit in to what he wanted. I had made my point over the years - and he knew and I knew every time our eyes met. But he never changed, and never changed his ‘story, Grand Lie’ to others right up to the end. My advice would be - however you can - get out, live your life. Your empathy and feelings for your nacisstic abusive parent are keeping you trapped within their orbit. And they will never change.

No they are not. Because they cannot feel their true inner self and that feels clingy and inauthentic to people, who are in contact with themselve. It´s all fake und presentation mode, they are perfect sales people. Real good actors need empathy for their played character like a baker needs flour, because without it, they cannot interpret a role convincingly enough. Best example, Amber Heard, she wants the success, glamour and fame but poor acting skills. Marvellous actor Anthony Hopkins, humble and wonderful human being.

Great video. I fell for the narcissist's charms and love bombing. It wasn't until years of pain and self work when I realized that I was codependent and that is what the narcissist used to draw me in. Further work on myself led me to realize that I was raised by narcissistic parents, so i missed the red flags which other people could see. A very painful but necessary revelation.

Exactly my story. I've had two narcissistic husband's. The first was 14 years to an overt malignant narcissist, (at the time we were married and even up until my second marriage ending, I didn't know the label for what he was or all the craziness). I didn't take time to heal or get counseling and I rekindled with a guy who was my first love when we were young. It seemed like a fairytale. I thought He was the opposite of my ex. He was EXACTLY like my first husband, but a covert narcissist. Exactly the same, just hiding beneath a mask of kindness and love. It took me 13 years (married to #2) to figure both of them out. It took me six months after I figured it out and confronted husband #2 to leave. He admitted everything. He had no sympathy, empathy or guilt about anything, in fact he couldn't even love. (His words) Now I'm 9 months away from him. I've realized that I am codependent (Self-love deficit disorder) and was raised by 2 narcissists.

THIS IS 100000000000% ACCURATE. I WAS MARRIED TO A NARCISSIST WITH ASPERGERS! A COMBO FROM HELL. I've only realized this after our divorce where she has now alienated my 2 boys from me. I was confused for 16 years. She ticked all the boxes but I always felt depressed around her. Like I was being slowly being boiled alive. Her words rang hollow. Her apologies meant nothing. She made me feel like I was the bad one. When you meet a narcissist RUN for your life. They're nothing but energy vampires. They will destroy you!!!!!!

My abusive narcissistic ex was obsessed with 'the power of attraction' described in The Secret (book/dvd). He believed that if you believe something strongly enough, it becomes a reality. Now I understand how he was able to come to the point of believing his own lies- it was a strategy, and it served him well for a while. I don't think these people will ever come clean. They're so invested in their fabricated reality that it would feel like death to tell the truth- the real, vulnerable truth.

What's extremely distressing about being married to a narcissist is that more often than not they won't rest until they know everything about you, the empath! Narcissists use those same insecurities no matter what they are or how traumatic, to find a way to make you responsible for your own pain! They play so many head games on a daily basis that even educated professionals can become completely worn out.. The only way to help yourself in a narcissistic controlled relationship is to get out! Their behaviors will worsen before they get better.. And the little bit of support that you will have in the way of friends or family will cause them to take a "hands off approach to the narcissist because the only way to deal with a narcissist is to confront him head on.. and your friends, family, support groups will not be willing to do this.. Living with them day to day you know the extreme lengths they call to hide their evil.. even getting out of a marriage, or relationship with them is hard because they will either lure you back in, or make it so difficult for you to leave.. some empaths feel that the financial strain emotional, psychological, physical drain that a narcissist leaves on you is just not worth it.. Some stay at their own peril..

I had an awareness about why I married a narc. Both my parents were narcs and I was a codependent people pleaser. I was so attracted to him and relentless In being with him. I wanted the liar. Even when this leopard showed me his spots I didn’t care. I overlooked the obvious. I was delusional and desperate to be loved by the devil. I REFUSED to see the truth and I paid a heavy price for calling evil good. I didn’t seek good hearted people. I was conditioned/programmed to seek the devil’s false love. I didn’t want authentic vulnerable people. I wanted the liar. I wanted to believe the lies. I was attracted to false and dangerous people. People who hated me. That’s what maybe subconsciously I thought I deserved. He wanted to be hated too. Subconsciously these people loathe themselves too. We were just playing out the toxic dynamics of our family of origin. I’m done fighting I’ve made peace with myself and the narc. Now that I allowed God’s grace to show me my role in this mess the game was over. Praise you Jesus. The truth really did set me free. I’m no longer a victim. I’m an over comer. ❤️👍 I’m totally in control of myself and I no longer fear the narc. I used to be out of control and terrified of the lying narc. Not anymore I’m free and we’re decent friends now. Very nice to each others it’s miraculous. I hope my testimony of self awareness helps someone. ❤

Self hatred and lack of feeling worthy is what attracts them, so easy for a victimizer then to grab hold. I believe in past lives (I still respect it if someone doesn't but I do) and I saw a past life where I had a dad who blamed me for the death of my little brother. he only loved his son, not me and never let me forget how horrible I was. I was a kid and he drowned but I was blamed and I left that life feeling guilt and that I was unworthy of being loved. I had several lifetimes where I carried this pattern forward and never healed it. Finally, I was born to my current parents and long story short, I was reborn to someone who agreed with my feelings of not being worthy and that I was "bad" and so on. Like attracts like so to speak, water seeks it's own level. Although I do not expect anyone to agree with me, it is my experience, it explains a lot for me, how we are conditioned and because we expect it then, it is "familiar" for us so we are in agreement that this is all we deserve. It all comes down to a lack of Self love, and ignorance. What saved me this lifetime was I met a man who turned me onto meditation and I was so desperate to try anything, that I did it. I still do it. Everyday. It saved my life many times over. But It has not been easy to turn my life around. I was so willing to "die" for my sins but to suffer a lot to make up for my "crimes". I was so guilt ridden. I had to face myself which takes courage. I had to stop hating myself and I only did this when I discovered that the 2nd commandment said, "LOVE OTHERS AS YOU DO YOUR SELF" the emphasis was on the AS YOU DO YOUR SELF. I never knew that so it gave me permission to start to let go of hating myself. So, Self forgiveness, knowing God is my real parent and not my mother helped enormously. I can keep identifying with Who I Am, that I am a Child of God, worthy and deserving of love, safety, being valued and to know that I am worthy to receive. I am still working on this everyday. I stay out of relationships because I am still susceptible to "trying to make others happy at the expense of myself". But it's not easy to reverse lifetimes of habitual patterns of feeling that you don't deserve to have anything, let alone live. But it has to be done. Sooner or later, you have to face your Self. So I feel for everyone on here as I understand and I am so utterly grateful that we now know this exists and that we aren't insane and we really aren't just "bad people" who know we really didn't do anything but still got blamed for everything and made to feel we are losers in life and cursed. I certainly did. So thank you Danish, I really appreciate and I resonate with your insights, how you explain things and how you don't pull any punches. I like that. I guess it comes from knowing what it feels like. No one ever validated me or believed me one iota growing up. Never, not once. And thank you guys for sharing your stories too. God bless us all to heal completely, because we deserve to be loved too.

Narcissist cannot fool me anymore. I can spot one from a mile away. Therapist and all counselors or judges need to get training so these evil people wont get away with their abuse.

When my ex husband started to get tired of the whole family thing he started arguments, accused me of being a bad mother, spread rumors all around town and internet that I abused my 2 girls. I could tell how people looked at me they believed him. A neighbor told me, and they believed him, that I abused my daughter when what I did was make her sit on the stairs for hitting her sister but he created another story. A friend of mine said she heard from the town office that we were divorced and we weren't. He became so abusive and scary, I had to leave with my 2 daughters and get a restraining order, but everyone believed him that I was the abuser because he is such a "nice" guy and so helpful to everyone even as he left his family and had little to do with his children, but of course no one could blame him because I was so bad. Funny how he abandoned his children leaving me to deal with it all. People are DUMB and it's maddening.

I experienced the same identical thing. My narcissistic ex got tired of being married, started the smear campaign on me telling everyone I was the abuser and terrible mother. People ran to his side offering condolences. Keep in mind he never kept a job, I was the stable parent with a master’s degree, I won full custody in court, because he refused to come to court to take a drug test this was reversed by him as me keeping the child away and I’m the devil. I don’t care to explain myself to people that believe him and sympathize with him if he was a great father he would have showed up to court. He doesn’t pay child support, yet he comes to my daughter’s volleyball games uninvited and snap photos as if they have a great relationship and post them on his Facebook page. These people are simply crazy.

Was caught up in a narcissistic friendship which sucked all my energy. My happy day would be destroyed by gaslighting. I was in a state of imbalance and confusion and hated that feeling. But when I want to stop being friends, then the narcissist would turn on the charm and I would think that I was imagining all the bad things and it is all my fault for every argument. I was labelled as funny or crazy. He would laugh when I was triggered and lost my temper. Now I am stronger. I don't think it was a wasted four years. Because I have learnt to be strong enough to leave. There are things I regret but I put it down as lessons learnt.

Thank you. This came at the perfect time. I’ve questioned myself repeatedly for four years. Now I look back in disbelief that my boyfriend is not real. All of it was fake. It’s called a “mental mind f🔴ck”. How will I ever know the difference between a real person and a narcissist’s dysfunction? I don’t want to go through this again. He’s ruined my entire life.

It is ironic that most lawyers do not know what a narcissist is.

Hi, I'm a narcissistic abuse victim and survivor..I experienced it with my mother predominantly, and some other members of the family, as well (my brother turned out to be her "upbringing" of a narcissist)..it was quite a hellride, but now I managed to set my boundaries, and I am not at all afraid to be "mean" to her, and express my views and feelings, although she doesn't comprehend them at all..my way of going on with my life is not to interact with her about serious matters, and keep the meeting occasions at the lowest number..I now am a healthy adult, and am not afraid of having a family of my own..I know I'd be a different kind of mother, as I can be a good "mother" to myself.. thanks for the helpful video..

I was raised by a narc mother and was married to a Narcissistic abuser who who isolated me from my support system and when i wanted a divorce, the abuse got worse and worse to the point where I was fearing for my life and could not talk to anyone about it at all. I finally got out and have been in therapy since because my normal meter was so broken from my childhood itself. It is so true , the lies and the false narratives that was spread about me but in the end , I know the truth now and I am grateful that I escaped with my life.

It does have qualities of demonic oppression for sure. However, people who claim to follow Christ are SUPPOSED to allow the Spirit of God to transform them from the inside out. Narcs do not let that happen, so they act well for the public, but in private you get to see who they really are. It is very common for Narcs to gravitate to "spiritual" environments and hide out there, quietly abusing and controlling others. Ever hear this: Street angel, house demon?

These elect do not attend traditional groups and indeed speak out clearly against covens such as Gardner's Wicca, but often bind themselves to a few other elect. Perverse by nature, they have no need to cultivate the arcana of classic sorcery. Franklin's questionnaire would give concordant and precise indications that isolated witches are antisocial, quarrelsome right from school age, persecuted by other children (considered vulgar and stupid, moreover, by the witch) who torment the strange companion because they are jealous of her position, of his intellectual superiority. But the brilliant mental qualities of witches - Franklin continues - remain superficial; their character, marked by some suffering in childhood, by lack of parental guidance, make these subjects perfect vehicles for demons: one of them takes the future witch by storm when she becomes a woman and guides her towards the path of witchcraft.

Very well said. I was raised by a narc mother and married a narc husband. I did not know there was this illness. I thought I was crazy. I went from abuse to abuse. I thought it was me. I started listening to professionals talk about narcissistic people. Now I understand. I was the first born of 8 of us. I was blamed for all the hate in my mother's life. Most of her children are also narcs. They are hateful, destroying beings. I miss them but want nothing to do with them. I am seeing a therapist and I am focusing on me now. So strange to do that. Thank you for you talk today. Feeling less a fool.

Thank you for this. Its amazingly validating and comforting to hear you put the lies of the narcissist so clearly and concisely. For all of us who have lived under the constant confusion of the abusive narcissist, it's like hearing someone boldly declare that the Emperor has no clothes on. So liberating~

This entire time I was trying to figure him out , that if maybe I could understand him better I could help him . I think a part of me loved him and felt sorry for the way that he was . His jokes would often shock me as they were so dark and the things he would say about people treating them as objects. Little did I know is that I was being treated in the same exact way. It was him vs. the world . I felt sorry that he felt the need to fight so many people . A part of me wanted to caress and love him , take the hurt away I felt he was experiencing . What you said about the charity is so true because he had given and worked on charity a lot in the past . When I first met him he gave off a vibe of understanding and care . Like he wanted to get to know me more , he walked me up to my room and immediately started speaking about me moving from the US to the country I was visiting . That first night I was confused and told him I couldn’t do that because I was finishing college . It was like curious he placed that nugget of thought in my mind. That I would move countries for him? I didn’t even know or trust him. He was trying to convince me . I thought it was kind of cute but now looking back it’s very strange and maybe the beginning of his manipulation of creating a false reality to get me attached to him . That he would take care of me and we would love a perfect little life together ?? He was always surrounded by people . People looked up to him and adored him. He seemed a very important person right off the bat. I felt special that he took an interest in me because the other girls would swarm him. We snuggled , listened to music , kissed and he whispered in my ear sweet nothings . He would comment on my appearance and outfits a lot . He told me I was the hottest girl on the trip , I actually felt special he picked me out from the rest. It made me want him more . That night repeats in my mind like it was absolutely perfect . Looking back now the situation should have just remained a good memory a perfect one and done .But being my curious self I decided to reach back out to him . To see if maybe there was anything there after a year and a half . The rest resulted in a horrific 4 months of my life . I legit became entrapped in a different reality. The key turning point for me realizing he was a narcissist was the fact that he couldn’t call me on the phone . I thought that was strange Sinse we had met before in person. When I asked why he didn’t want to talk to me he said he doesn’t talk to anyone on the phone only his mom , grandfather, and his best friend Sam . I was really confused because I thought me and him had built a rapport and he would want to hear from me at least in the voice again. It killed me that he didn’t want to talk to me , and I think he knows this . I just blocked him because there’s only so much a person can stand with the mixed signals. I really need to move forward now & heal .

I learned from her and thank to myself i didn't fell into that blind hole for too long. Its very important to not ignore negative behavior from others. It can be very dangerous if you do.

According to what I've seen & read about this disorder, the reason why narcissists lie about their past is because they have no recollection of - at least - 90-95% of their memories.. they only have spanshots of them.... so in order to make sense out of them, they must fill in the gaps with exaggerated stories that mostly - if not only - serve them.

When I think back, the only time I thought there was something odd about my neighbour before she went full on crazy narcissist, was when I related a story about someone who was withholding a deposit that they owed me and I said that, once I receive it, I would give them a piece of my mind and she laughed. I remember being taken aback by her response. Now, of course, I realise that she thought the idea was absurd, that I would be incapable of doing such a thing. It was contempt for me and she found it amusing. Next time I get what I consider to be an odd response to something I say I will take it very seriously.

It is great that Danish is bringing this topic up in KZread. In DSM IV, one of the most prominent problems with NPD and/or other disorders is dysfunctionality at work and/or a family setting. These people with disorders, know how to hide all the undesirable characteristics.

Covert narcs are frustratingly difficult to detect, they work sooo hard to act loving and kind but just " down on their luck " to conceal the corrupt black hole that is their core . Took me years to catch on.

also they treat different people differently, according to how much they need them & rely on them, so everybody has a different view of the narcissist,making it very hard for all to unite against the narcissist..espescially in family dynamics you have the scapegoat child, golden child, neglected child etc.. who are all treated differently & will fight each other over the narc..the old strategy of divide & conquer, unfortunately very effective in preventing the narcs exposure...

OMG you are exactly right on with all that you said!!! No one would possibly understand if they had not experienced it for themselves. I experienced it and it's still absolutely unreal. I don't think the way they do so it was hard to believe that was what I was dealing with until a lawyer insisted that I run a CBI on my husband. I was not prepared for what I saw on that report. 6 pages of legal charges against him including attempted murder in the 1st degree and drugging a victim. It was all the things he did to his first wife!!! Domestic violence, ignoring protection orders, stalking, on and on. He was repeating his history then with me. It totally blew my mind. I started learning everything I could about covert narcissist. He gave my things away to people to try and look like a nice guy, never anything that belonged to him. What a nightmare. Thank you so much for clearly verbalizing exactly what they do to try and look normal.

It is SO refreshing to hear someone EXPLAIN this correctly. Most people can not even begin to dream that anyone would ever do this. They don't realize the amount of effort and practice and rehearsal they do to keep the facade up. And they never do understand how they can act like this, when it really is just an act, because they never do really grasp what empathy and all the rest of it even is. They are master manipulators and extremely proud of it. They are capable of becoming the politicians, the principals, the heads of businesses.... without ever even really knowing how to do these jobs. I've seen it. It's unbelievable. In fact, I would be willing to bet, at least in the field of education, the vast majority of the administrators do not even have valid college degrees and historically haven't. They may not even realize that. But I have seen enough of them, that I am really wondering... and I think it's a pretty good bet that at least 50% of them don't. They are actually criminals.

This is so on point. I literally witnessed the narc looking to other people for how to react on a situation. I didn’t realise this for the longest time but they used me being the empathetic person that I am on how to gauge what’s emotionally appropriate. I then had a friend come to me saying that they thought they could talk to the narc about things. But since I left the friendship they can’t talk about anything and that I was the buffer.

This is one of the most accurate description of the narcissistic person. It took me a long time not to feel stupid for marrying someone like this. Thank you so very much.

Since we’re both women, they write it off as us both having bad attitudes. My mom is not normal, and she has mentally tortured me since a child. This video makes me feel so validated.

And at some point they will be so miserable from realising how badly they were raised and from seeing how good your life is (or was before them) that they will snap and start to ruin your life. Suddenly they will only say negative things about everything you do because they are dying of jealousy.

I cannot thank you enough for the reassuring words you said. I very much needed to hear that 🙏💝🤧😖 I was exhausted trying to explain my agony to others but no one including my closest people understand or believe me. Some of them brush it aside saying "no marriage is perfect, you have to adjust" and others think I am overreacting. This is, after being in 8 years of marriage! Once again thank you from bottom of my heart 🌸

when i tell my therapist that things have been pretty "normal"...well thats the most painful part. the narcissist goes about their day like everything is normal and nothing ever happened, while we writhe in discomfort. the narcissists ability to behave at a high functioning level when you know it would turn upside down the instant you dont conform or try to communicate your needs with them is baffling and the ultimate mindfuck. these are the times when we get told to then "just keep the peace" or "dont engage" as if we are responsible for making them act out. they are professionals at their fake persona and acting status quo as long as they are getting their supply and getting what they want.

I just had the sympathy/compassion conversation with my h. When I said that they were emotions and one had to choose when and how to display them he burst out laughing and said that was the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard. I said no. That knowing when and how to act on them was part of emotional maturity and self protection. He again laughed and walked out. Usual behavior. But I understood then that any empathy from him is an action he does that doesn’t come from an emotional root but from his head- the proper action that he thinks needs to be done. Thanks for making that even clearer for me

Thank you so much for this video. You have voiced the answer to the question that I've asked myself for 10 years after finding out my father was crazy and not me. Why are they so hard to spot? It's that one two punch of kindness and charisma which hides the motive of control and constant need for supply. Truly unique is the idea that they set the stage for future negative behavior by greasing it with overwhelming kindness and generosity.

I live a nightmare. I try to get out of the trap of my parents, a psychopath and a narcissistic victim and who reaches out to me is a sociopath. Beware of victim forums, there are predators out there looking for vulnerable people to save by posing as victims. I call them scavengers. This individual has even left me money several times and then does things typical of these beings. If I point out his dysfunctional behaviors he becomes a victim: After everything I do to try to get you out of there, I'm not perfect and I'm recovering too. How unfair you are distrusting me, you are not well, I forgive you, etc, etc Listen to your instinct, always!!

After decades of suffering with a narc mother and then a narc husband, if their behaviour does not support their words, I'm outta there!

I have noticed that, with certain people, it takes a lot of effort to be cared for by them, almost as if they are unaware of your own life and issues. It becomes a game of how much attention can they milk from you. Leaving you with a deficit, it's an awful feeling. It's most difficult because it fucks with your head so much. Why am I not noticed, why do they seemingly like me so much when I've never heard them ask me a single question? It's cold but true.

My brother ruined my mind permanently. I will forgive him when I have my mental illness cured. He coerced me with threats of violence, he screamed at me while I was driving him places, he forced me to lie to cover for his dastardly deeds, he had open contempt for me, he would never take no for an answer, he would dramatically cringe at everything I genuinely loved, he pawned my possessions for drug money, he killed animals for fun, he called me "gazelle" and "it" with an impish grin, he denied wrongdoing then admitted it when it was "not a big deal", he would treat me like a big fool for every minor mistake I made, and he mocked all of my suffering while raging at me for so much as suspecting him of any fault. That scoundrel is in Eastern Europe serving in the military now. I hope he gets captured by the Russians and executed. If I see him again, he'll be greeted with a shotgun barrel.

The narcissist that I was in a relationship with admitted this: “I have an intellectual understanding of compassion, but I don’t live in it.”

Mine ex said at least twice he never had empathy towards people, only animals. But acted it so well during love bombing...

Mine admitted after being unmasked that he had no sympathy, empathy or guilt for anything, in fact he couldn't even love. I said, wait, you don't love me? He said oh of course I love you. I said what do you love about me? He said everything you do for me. I said so basically you're Dexter without the serial killing? He said yes. He pretended to be a real person but wasn't.

if they believe their own lies, it is not a lie for them. it is their reality, i would say it is delirium.

This helped me understand behaviors of and things I've gone through with my soon-to-be ex-wife that I've been trying to figure out for YEARS. It makes so much more sense now, with her lack of emotional awareness. I always thought women were supposed to be more empathetic than men, but it was very much the other way around in our relationship.

This is such a helpful video. You explain perfectly the nature of narcissistic abuse and the effects on survivors. I feel seen and listened to.

I know it's not funny, but the title made me laugh hysterically. I say that as a narcissistic abuse survivor, because what tickles me is just the thought of the narcissist and the whole production of it all. The performative empathy, turning up the charm and the pretending to be a nice. It's all just a show to gain supply, but the energy to keep up the facade I know is a real chore and I LOVE THAT FOR THEM!!!

For example the narc I ended up with was running marathons through a mega church he worked his way up through heirachry. Few months later I found out he had taken out credit cards in my name and ruined my credit...why would I think someone running for starving people in Africa would steal from me while calling himself the love of my life? Everything you describe is 100% spot on.

WOW! I'm old, and nothing should surprise me, but, some predators are on another level.
