No wonder, you literally have people who defined the diagnoses, formed treatments. Actual real specialists and true professionals. A little bit different that tarot card reading youtubers calling narcissist demons and themselves as uber empaths.

Agreed. Really enjoy the work of Dr. Yeomans and Dr. Diamond. Learning a ton. I am a psychologist and have a familiarity with NPD and BPD, but the breadth of knowledge and the interpersonal dynamics as are discussed is really unparalleled.

Great Ques. Its an inside job. no one can gratify us like world wants us to think. A great deal of acceptance, humor & Nonattachment to this impermanent existence. Accepting what is rather than trying to make it what we want. Your questions will guide you to your answers, never stop listening with your heart. Anger at this place is a distraction from our real work. peace

By seeking contentment over novelty. By casting away fear and replacing it with wholeness, peace and agape love. By recognizing that you need a higher power. It takes a daily commitment to renew the mind. Meditating, reading...thinking differently. Retraining the subconscious, deleting the old programming replacing it with the "mind of christ". Consider it the ultimate challenge! When the world says you can't (you're stuck, fixed, will never change). All things are possible with God. It's a submission to the highest power in the universe so that He can elevate you. Not done within our own power or might...but by his spirit. He gives grace to the humble and opposes the proud.

Fuel hunters.

Great great content. Thank you

Diana’s videos are insightful and helpful. Thanks for making this content available!

This describes the narcissist I know perfectly. At the last part, but what would convince a narcissist to choose the former option and give up the latter?

The need of the narcissist. Whatever need is important to them, be it status, finances, etc, that will aid them in their choice. If it makes them look good, that's the choice they will make.

Well, this describes someone I know very well. Wow.

Well the reason is bc they’re so shallow and immature they literally get lodged into absurd superficial type assessments then they wonder why the rest of feeling humanity has “moved on” and they haven’t ?

She just described me PERFECTLY 😬

Fuel. That which to aquire. That which to burn.

Interesting video

She’s my favorite

I like her, and this is interesting, but it also feels very normative...

The person suffering from NPD gets stale and tiresome. Other people can not stand them. With experience it also becomes easier to predict the behavior and how that will end and after that what will follow. It goes on and on.

from my limited experience of NPD, when you know them from a distance they mask so much you think they are in depth and deep and knowledgeable. When you get close to them you see through the mask and see that they are facade with no depth behind it. A fraud. Yet they don''t seem to get you know. I made the mistake to try and help them and got treated like a piece of sh@t because of it. The compulsive lies, gaslighting etc was unbelievable. At the time I did not know they had NPD. It was only through post analysis with a clinical psychologist that it was pointed out to me. Before then I thought NPD was just a term to describe an ex you did not like....

Yes, and you arrive to a point where the new girl is just an other girl. And I hate that feeling. I used to feel so much when I was a kid. I used to fall in love as a teenager, and now I can't feel anything. How can I fix this??? I don't want to give up on loving someone and be loved.

Sam Vaknin and others consider narcissism spectrum stuff to be basically CPTSD. Basically we were emotionally neglected and/or traumatized very young which made our attachment to your caregiver(s) very insecure. The grandiose false self can be created to protect the true self. It can get murky if the person is unable to be grandiose and instead becomes "echoist", or a combination of both strategies.

@@Atbay8 well, i guess that it comes from my mother being hyper critical about everything. So nothing and nobody has ever been good enough in my childhood, even me. And I started to believe that nobody was good enough for me, as a defense mechanism...I could not stand imperfections. I have to say that with the time, I started to be more flexible with this aspect, and accept mine and others imperfections, but I always arrive to a breaking point that make me leave my partner after a while (usually 3 months), and this unsatisfaction leads me to cheat as well. It´s not that I don´t want to accept responsability for my acts, but I think it comes from being emotionally insecure due to the luck of unconditional love I felt as a kid. I´m working on it. I´m more clear in my relationships now, and I only keep going out with someone after explaining how messed up I am and that they should not expect much from me on an emotional level. This is the only way I found that let me connect a bit more with someone else

Question, I was diagnosised with bpd. I go from relationship to relationship and she was talking about surrounding self with new people all the time... I do this but I did have a 16 year relationship with a few people that just ended. Why do bpd move from one to the other, and the differences from npd?

Why are narcissists often good looking and able to attract many partners? I guess it suggests good looks feed narcissism in the individual in their developmental years.
