How Narcissists Spiral When They Realize You're Lost Forever

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

www.exboyfriendrecovery.com/c... - Interested in coaching with me or one of our coaches?
A few weeks ago, I filmed a video about what narcissists hope for when you go no contact.
And the basic premise of it was simple,
When you ignore a narcissist, you are in effect interrupting their supply.
And for them, this is horrifying.
So, they react accordingly, by trying to get that supply back.
Well, today we're going to do a deep dive at how crazy their behavior typically is.

    When a narcissist comes back to you.....its not because they love you. They either want to relish in your pain and failure, OR, if they view you as successful, then they will absolutely see you as the "happy meal with legs". Just know they are not coming back for you, they are coming back for THEM.

    Sam Vaknin said from books, of experts, the only way to deal with a narcissist , is to become a narcissist yourself……therefore narcissism is contagious, narcissism is a defense mechanism toward other narcissit…..but as you break up and move on, you may get back your true self personality.

    ​​@@willembeltman Do you check all 9 boxes for NPD? Are you filled with guilt and shame? Did you have horrible traumas at age 0-3 where you never actuated your own personality, was never differentiated, never weaned off the tit? Do you depend on others to define who you are? Are you a nothing, empty shell when others are not around? Do you feel like a victim where it's everyone else's responsibility to make you happy? Everyone else's fault for your failure to launch? No? Probably not a narcissist. We are social creatures, not intended to be alone in isolation, but healthy people are okay living with their own thoughts, spending time in their own company. Narcissists can't even get their head around the fact others are separate, with different perspectives. They can't be alone because there's nothing there. There can be no self-reflection if there's no Self.

    In case you’re wondering, catching them in the act and calling out each of their narcissistic tendencies and holding them accountable for being self-centered with respectful and collected dialogue doesn’t work at all, and will likely cause them to become incredibly irrational and sometimes dangerous. Make it your goal to get out, you can’t help them. They don’t want help. If they did, they’d be better people. Just because you understand the problem doesn’t mean it’s up to you to help. Take your understanding, and use it to make sure you’re okay. You’re not being selfish, especially since they don’t actually care about you. If they did, hurting you would mean something to them instead of you having to defend the validity of your pain

    The lack of research data might because Narcissists usually have almost non-existing self-reflection, no empathy and remorse. So they don‘t see the point of seeking out professional help as they think there is nothing wrong with them. The problem always lies with the others.

    Yes. My husband is an alcoholic and drug user, I am not. He says he is not willing to put up with my "outbursts and meltdowns" (I had a mental breakdown in December 2023 and it culminated in an ultimate breakdown in January) and he will keep drinking until he is done but he will not get help for anything and will not go to a therapist and say *and he said this in a whiny voicw* "my mommy hurt me". I said, no one is asking you to talk about your childhood (in fact it was MY mom who molested me, and I have gotten help for that) I'm asking if you're willing to work on our marriage together, with me. He told me he was done being married to me on April 13th and said he wanted me gone. I've been living with friends since then, a stable, peaceful home. I love who my husband could be, used to be, but devastated 💔 he isn't him anymore, I've been living in a fantasy movie in my head. Being thrown away is extremely painful for me, he knows this and I believe, he has used this against me.

    “The problem always lies with the others”. Those words you said have a lot of multiple meanings it perfectly describes the narcissist. They do sleep with others, they the problem, always lying to people. They always think the problem is someone else not themselves. They also always wearing a mask among other people and are so different with you. I’m probably missing some more but I’m glad you said those last words it was very poetic to me, in a weird way hehe.

He’s very nice now and very cordial because he said he got saved and he knows the Lord and he is being very kind to some degree but he’s still drinking and can be very nasty.

    I received a crash course here online after I was targeted by a narcissist and my intuition was telling me to run, which led me to this channel. I escaped relatively quickly but damage was inflicted, no contact initiated, my life imploded. He found out my dog passed away last week and used that to show up, uninvited, to my home. I would not let him in, of course and he sped off, got a DUI and resisting arrest and is still in jail because he has burned every bridge in his life, including that with his parents and siblings. These people are soulless goblins, nothing more. If you are currently ensnared, I pray you can find the way out, the sooner the better.

    I narrowly escaped a romantic relationship with someone like that. Instinct preserved me, as he was talking about his ex on the first date with me, utterly obsessed. After that he went back to her, and didn't tell me. Then I saw them together and said nothing. I just became unavailable. He told me many years later he was in an unhappy relationship and had a child (with someone else) but I thought: sort yourself out, I'm not going to be a third party in this. So he didn't sort himself out.. Then we got in contact via social media just professionally, and he tried to draw me in. By then he was divorcing but obsessed with getting back at her. His son is a mess - drug dependent. He expected me to come and see him, and instructed me to 'get your ass up here'. I live interstate. I said 'do not speak to me like that ever'. He was shocked. Since then had a few phone conversations but what I noticed was his capacity for rage. It's enormous he's always angry with me or someone. He puts me on silent treatment but I never really notice. Recently he blocked me. He's finally go the message. He was trying to turn me into someone who expects to be mistreated.

I've been no contact since that day including her kids. Just this past weekend I got a text from her cell but I could tell right away it wasn't my sister's words. She had her 26 y.o. daughter type it and I immediately blocked the number with a reply, "I don't do toxic relationships".

You can see the desperation and witness the public outbursts, and once you see the outfall it is impossible to not see that, they are showing the sad core that has been so willfully hidden all their lives. Even the most empathetic or abuse resistant person will see this as the final self destructive act.

She said something essentially unforgivable so i told her it's done and why. And called her out for being self-centered. Next day she kindly asks me to bring a couple things she left at my place down to her car after work. I tell her I think it's a better idea if I leave it out for her to get and we don't see each other. Then she suddenly turned into a monster, saying the wildest, cruelest things in an attempt to hurt me. Luckily it was so over the top and obviously wrong it didn't even bother me. I'm sure her plan was to ambush me and go nuts if I brought these things out for her.

    My ex figured it all out. Whenever he has to discard his primary source of supply (or gets discarded himself), he promotes his mother to that position until he finds a new one. It never takes long, so he doesn't have to go back to an old source. I'm confident he won't try to hoover me. Right now, his primary source of supply lives on a complete different continent, but he had his mother move in with him. It probably makes it way easier for him to cheat on his primary source.

    I’m thinking I haven’t woken up yet. My ex broke up with me last night at my job on my break and tried causing a scene to humiliate me. Ruined my night and tried not to let it affect my job. Some coworkers witnessed him yelling at me and he tried painting me like this terrible mother and person. We live together so I told my daughter I would be sleeping in her room. He’s also caused issues between me and my 16 year old daughter as well. I came home this morning and wanted to stay away so I could have some peace and he wanted me to go in the room with him. I did but was emotionally checked out so I just didn’t talk or anything to keep my anxiety at bay. He started laughing because I was sad and wanted me to pretend like he didn’t humiliate me at work. Now hes trying to say we should talk even though he said I was the problem and he didn’t do anything wrong in the relationship. I haven’t been responsive at all. I lost everyone because of him. I don’t have anyone to talk to anymore besides my sister who lives a few blocks away from me. I just feel dead inside and defeated. I just want to be alone. Tired of him throwing stuff at me and constantly blaming me for everything. He’s excluded me and shows my daughter attention and now she’s on his side. They’re both saying I’m the problem and argumentative just for expressing how I feel and speaking up on things I don’t like. I have no safe place in my own home. No one to talk to and I just feel so alone now. I don’t feel comfortable being around my own child because I feel so betrayed. Literally was going to take out a loan so she can get a car and have all the things I didn’t have growing up. It just seems so unfair. What’s the point of being a good person when people don’t even care about you and only what you can do for them. He started showing his true colors after I got him his new job where he’s only making 2 dollars more than me and literally took credit for him getting this job when I created his resume and got him fake pee for his drug test because he smokes weed. I just feel so defeated and want to shut down.

I'm in my 40s now and he still goes in streaks of obsession with me where he's stalked me, calls 30+ times daily, shows up unannounced and searches my property until he finds my kids or me. I have cancer atm, so he's taken a step away luckily - I think it makes him feel weak or like he's mortal maybe. I'm hoping he stays away for good.

I just screamed, Primary. I did everything for this woman, and ignored all the red flags. To say that I was a fool would be an understatement. Then recently I was able to get on her iPad, at this point the bells and whistles were so loud they were deafening. There I found, just as you said, all her secondary sources of supply and I was gone. Empaths are great until you screw them over. I packed all my bags left, and said nothing. I went dark, blocked my phone, social media and disappeared. There was no point in confronting this individual. This is a total a losing effort. They are too good at what they do to get in argument with. I can only hope that she finds a new primary, and does not try to hunt me down.

    Just found your channel! Great video! I think this is exactly what happened with my narcissistic ex friend. I ran into him recently at a show in the town I moved to, after 4 years… gulp… he tried to act like nothing ever happened and it was just old friends picking up where we left off and also “oh here’s some ways I’ve become more humble or changed etc” which is believable ONLY to the extent that he’s changed his tactics. But he’s the same manipulative fool he always was. When I tell you I drank at that show … 😂 Unfortunate that he now knows where I hang out and has a mutual friend that he comes to visit here sometimes. Wish me luck moving forward!

    We cut ourselves off from a narc nearly a year ago. So far the most that's been tried is a few texts and calling by using someone else's number. Last we heard of anybody interacting with this narc, she had cornered someone who had once dated her kid. She was trying to get this person to date her far more submissive son who despite his age still lives with her and refuses to move out she didnt act very friendly when she was told no.

    First time on your channel and this breakdown is really good! You explained their collapse very well. I have a parent who is going through this now! I've intuited this but you broke it down. No, Narcs don't change. They feel comfortable in their mental state. At least for now. I would loved to have come into this knowledge younger. It's a long journey to awareness and recovery.

    For four and a half years, I thought my relationship was just plagued by poor communication and incompatibility. Little did I know I was entangled with a narcissist who would leave me emotionally and mentally shattered. It was only after she discarded me in the most brutal way and two therapists diagnosed me with CPTSD that I began to understand the trauma I had endured. Fourteen months later, I'm still grappling with the reality of what happened. I fell in love with the most evil, complicated, and messed up person I have ever met. I'm not perfect myself; I have ADHD tendencies, act impulsively, and carried unresolved childhood trauma. Despite these flaws, I'm a good person who cares deeply for others. But she, with her cute, charismatic exterior, exploited every part of me. She broke me in every way possible. Her lies, betrayal, and abuse left me in a state of shock, comatose for months. I couldn't understand how someone could be so cruel. She manipulated and abused me, and I saw all the red flags, yet I stayed. Why? Because of my own unresolved trauma, my need to be loved, and my belief that things would get better. She exhibited no empathy, no compassion, and no accountability. Her grandiose sense of self, selfishness, and constant lies were a daily torment. She gaslighted, manipulated, and cheated, all while portraying herself as a high-moral individual who criticized others for the very things she did. She painted herself as the victim, creating conflict out of nothing and blaming me for everything. During our holidays, she would secretly message other men and then lash out at me. I even babysat her kids while she went on dinner dates with exes. She would withhold affection, ruin holidays, and rage at me for not validating her. I gave her everything-gifts, financial support, love-but got nothing in return. Her cruelty extended to mocking my needs and feelings, leaving me in a perpetual state of anxiety and depression. I experienced severe health issues, my nervous system was in tatters, and my self-esteem was obliterated. She love-bombed me at the start, but it was all a facade. Her true nature slowly revealed itself through passive-aggressive comments, stonewalling, and constant criticism. She compared me to her exes, manipulated me with sex, and accused me of things I hadn’t done. She self-harmed to manipulate me, threatened suicide, and raged at me for not soothing her. Everything was always my fault, and she projected her own insecurities onto me. I was always walking on eggshells, afraid to say or do anything wrong. Our relationship was transactional; I was never good enough, and she was never interested in my well-being. She discarded me cruelly, smearing my name and accusing me of being the narcissist. Even after the breakup, she tried to gaslight me and manipulate my emotions. Her previous relationships ended similarly, with her exes driven to despair by her toxic behavior. After a year of healing, educating myself on NPD and BPD, and piecing together the nightmare I lived through, I realized the extent of her malevolence. Her own family had gone no contact with her, a testament to her destructive nature. I learned that she had been diagnosed with a personality disorder, which she projected onto others. Now, as I continue to heal, I recognize her for what she truly is: a beautiful siren masking pure evil. A virus that infected my life, leaving scars that will take time to heal. But I will heal, stronger and wiser from the ordeal.

    These videos are so eye opening to me. My Father-in-Law is going through this right now after being married almost 30 years (together almost 50) with a narcissist. He cut her off last year on May 31st, 2023. She left, went to another state to love (with another man), but over the last year, she'd been attempting to keep tabs on him. He went no contact with her. He's very sick now, and now I have 7 voice mail messages he received with her BEGGING him to come back, saying she knows he'll get better if SHE comes back to take care of him.

    @@tundrawomansays694 I absolutely agree, I think I didn’t word it well. I come from an abusive childhood myself and my parents stayed together “for the kids”. It was a war zone. I wouldn’t wish that on my children. I meant that I am hanging on in there in the sense that I am trying my best to assert my boundaries, and trying to show them that although I cannot move out I can still be an example of showing strength in trying circumstances. I also try not to “blame” their father, which puts them in a terrible position also.

    ***I call her Remote Control*** I currently live with one of the biggest Narcissist in the world. Todays date 6/17/24. Page Crossing. Springfield, Missouri. As a matter of fact, she is currently controlling the A/C. From 72 degrees up to 75. What a Bia Bia. First it was the relationship, so we split and she left to the living room. Then the Nintendo Switch, because that gave me happiness. She took it and it sits in a drawer to this day. Then it was the cat. She would take her on my days off with her to work, because she knew that was happiness. She first said she doesn't spend enough time with her, then it switched to "Shes my emotional support cat, and I'll do what I want with my cat!" Now its the A/C switch. She tried covering the only entrance in and out of my room, (Fire Evacuation Plan Non Existent) but it only blocked her from the entrance to the bathroom. She will claim that she was blocking the cat from entering my room. But cats climb. It did. Ran straight into my room 😂. Well that stopped. So now she thinks she has streamline communication to the office of our apartments, and she tells them everything that upsets her. Regardless of cold hard facts or even an inkling of truth. All he said she said stuff. I am talking about Fiction Novels here. She speaks of everything that she made up in her head also. Then she'll say, well I was in pre-law and they tell you to use context clues and then make a hypothetical assumption off of the information gathered to give you an educated guess. Assuming makes an Ass out of you and me! I'll give you an example. Because she lacks confidence, she tries to bring down everyone around her to boost her own ego. Wherever she goes, the dark cloud above her head will always rain poison. She told me on May 15, 2024 @ 12:57 PM that I was downstairs in the neighbors unit. 12:58 PM I respond with "No been here at the shop" At this moment I am literally finishing my lunch, in the parking lot of the automotive shop I work for. Also let me add, I am a loner. I thrive by myself, so I don't need the attention of others. One thing I learned in my teenage years through my 20's, and 30's, is that I despise drama. Everything about it is crap. So I tend to shutdown when it comes to that. This lady thrives, bathes, intertwines, mingles, etc. in Drama. She absolutely loves it! Farewell Remote! Take Dat ish witchu!

Blocked her everywhere, noise reduction headphones always on at home and no talk or response to everything she says. She keeps on spiraling between guilt shaming me and anger. Today in fact she become violent towards me. Luckily I studied her work schedule and I'm always out of the house when she's in.

    I Am autistic. For every major event, and between them, in my life. These narcissists have fooled me over and over and over. The narcissist changes, but.. cannot keep up there nuance s. Because I learn after burning as autistic person usually does. Cannot find a true friend than my mom, or husband. So in my last breath, or ten breaths before, I hope that I found the feeling that I have mastered to detect them, and can save my autistic grandchildren for misery.

    People with narcissistic traits often don’t go in for treatment, and definitely not at the rates that those with BPD do. That’s why there’s a lot less research on them. Sadly, the treatment outcomes for those with narcissistic traits or NPD are not good.

    Very interesting video! I liked a lot of the points you make- especially about why "secondary sources" often don't know they're even a source. I was also intrigued by your mentioning of there being not really any research done on narcissists ability to recover- The thought that immediately popped into my head is that maybe there's not much research on it because getting a narcissist to even acknowledge their mental health to themselves, much less be willing to even try to do anything about it- is very unlikely in a lot of cases.
