The silent treatment is a blessing, and about as effective as slamming a revolving door.

Iwas 11 secured my own bed, some food, some neighbors to help...the narcissist finds out I had help and took that help away. both gave me a radio and I love madonna, prince, the top 40 hits in pop meant alot to me. both parents liked and played music. both accused me of recording them talking. both were sober. both took turns hitting me. so what victim are they to beat a kid over them being wrong about their accusations. took food away, ruined educations, but yes, oh yes, they narc is a victim of the world crushing his soul and how he has two women living in the house yet the house is dirty. or the time the caregiver woman said no one is a woman until she has a baby. victim bully?? as they grew sick they got wrathful and mean. I withdrew my presence and saw there was nothing to see a family as. nothing to grieve over in the traditional sense of the stages of grieving. family dying feels freeing. im untetheredfrom their states in moving 1000+ to get away from their inner victim, outer bullying ways. and without some time at vortex success and time at medcircle hearing and exploring dr grace and her hypnotherapy I can survive those trauma bonds. ) (their apologies? if i heard what dad said before he died at 14, 25, 30, hed not had a caregiver like me. when he said what he said before he died I didnt have a funeral service to attend.

That’s only if they stand to lose something. Otherwise they’ll just usually walk away.

My ex husband was so good at this. But he didn’t use “it’s just a joke”, his favorite line if I tried to bring up the episodes of bullying was “I’m tired of you constantly bringing up the past” (Even though it was an hour ago 🤷🏼‍♀️) “I will not talk to you if you are being negative, you can only talk about positive things and us moving forward”.

I have a restraining order against me becuase I told the narcasist to give me my phone back now . That he took from me out of my hand when I said I was calling the police . Dude showed up to court with two crutches and his voice was soft and girly . And I lost in court . I was like how in the heck did this happen and what kind of justice system to we have ? He said he took the phone off the table . I even proved he lied on the restraining order and somehow I'm still the bad guy . He is my step father . I finally told him after years to leave me alone and stop lying and misrepresenting me to others with his jealous nonsense. The guy is a bully and and always talks about how much of a big man he is and how I'm not big enough to hurt him . But when I told him to gIve me my phone he got all tough and I was like GIVE ME MY PHONE NOOOOOWWWWW. I was angry he took my phone when I tried to call police . Unfortunately the only witness was my crazy sister who lied in court as well .

Recognizing narcissistic behavior in someone close to me has been painful, but it is also a relief. I'm not crazy and I'm not a bad person, despite what they want me to think. I just can't believe I went so long without noticing.

I’ve experienced this is a slightly different way, the way that they use their words, they’re attack you with a harsh aggressive tone and yelling but their words are “woe is me, I have to deal with so much.” Like my grandmother, we confront her about something she’s doing wrong and she’ll say something like “I have to do so much here, I have to cook and clean and mop and change curtains and this is how you treat me!!!” All the things she’s mentioning have nothing to do with what we might be confronting her about and nobody makes her do any of those things, further more when we offer to help she says no. She plays the victim with her words while bullying you with her aggression and yelling.

I will never forget the moment I called the Narcissist out in a public space with a mutual friend nearby. His explosive rage was so uncalled for that I couldn't help but walk him through how unreasonable it was. Granted his excuse for his behavior was pretty pathetic... but what really captured me was when I turned to the mutual friend in disbelief as he spoke... and I kid you not, she looked like a terrified puppy, head down, peeing itself. Thats when I realized, that is the sort of person he wants in his company. He wants scared submissive types that bow their head down when he explodes. That was her natural reaction to what was happening... and will no doubt default to that when such a problem happens again. These are terrible situations for anyone to go through.

Such a good comment. One narc commented, declared really, that his mother was a REAL LADY! ...who knew her place and how to behave like a real lady. When her husband saw she was bad, he literally made like a charging bull, and ran, charging, head down toward her, growling horribly like a mad dog. Her eyes popped in deep fear and fright, then she bent, contorted, cowered and shrunk with guilt and shame squirming in her chair looking up at him like a frightened child. Then I realised her sin was not preventing her skirt from being caught up accidentally and exposing some underwear item, like a petticoat or something as she began to pull her skirt hem down. His mother behaved like a frightened child afraid of an adult. And that was the key to being treated like their version of a real lady in that family situation.

I had two people in my family who always focused on the dark cloud every time I tried to point out the silver lining. It was so exhausting trying to console them. I tried to help them come up with real solutions to their problems, but all they wanted was to be catered to. They did not care one bit about actually growing as individuals. These people are such an emotional drain.

The narc walks out, muttering, slamming the door and the whole team let’s out their collective breaths and goes..... “YAY!!! Ok let’s get on with things” - in a healthy crowd that is 😄

This is so spot on! My ex bf always did the victim-bully dance every single time I started talking about how his behavior was affecting me. Back then I didn't know it was a form of manipulation that reinforced the trauma bond that lasted for years. No wonder I felt stuck in that relationship no matter how much I wanted to leave. All that drama and outbursts were so mentally draining and confusing. I wish I had known back then what I know now, I wouldn't have wasted so much of my time and energy on him.

Back before I knew my DH was a narcissist we'd have these huge blowouts that began with me calling out his behavior or something he did & they always culminated with him being woe is me & then me feeling sorry for him. Ugh Currently he hasn't spoken to me in 2 days because I lost my patience with him hovering over me, trying to "help" meaning watching my every move & telling me how he knows how to do that in a better way. It was a freaking light bulb!! Unfortunately, he does the modified version of the silent treatment, which just means no conversation but can allow questions or directions/demands. I love these kinds of videos that shed light on their behavior & show how we can deal with it. I'm not apologizing. I didn't do anything wrong. I'm done with that, thank you.

My mom is a master at this! When I was 13 and my sister 16, I had finally snapped after listening to her rage at my sister for years( I was the golden child at that point) she went from so nasty to a puddle of tears, packing her luggage and saying you don’t want me here I’ll just leave! I remember my sister and I comforting her and begging her not to go all while the blood on my face hadn’t even dried yet. I lost my golden child status that day, but my sister and I started to repair our broken relationship.

When I learned about narcissism, through meeting a malignant one in a education place for 3 years, my mother slowly changed too, because I told how I had discovered narcissism etc. There were other things that happened too that made me suspicious of her but more and more she became another person. I've slowly adapted. She changed when she found out I knew how to spot them. Now I avoid triggers, which is basicly to not stand up for myself on smaller cases (like the "its only a joke") and I've emotionally cut myself off from her. This goes for debating with her too.

These people are selfish and they make everything about themselves. They have the emotional capacity of children. When you call them out, they can take it so they switch it around to make it about them being a victim. They can't be accountable for their actions.

The story about the guy giving expensive gifts, I can relate so much! When I broke up with a narcissist he accused me of using him. He also said to me "I spent 2000 kr (about $200) on us when you visited me, but never did I hear any thank you". I never asked him to spend money on me, and the money he spent was on eating out because there was no electricity in his appartment (I later realised it was because he didn't pay his bills) and I payed for a lot of the food too. And ofcourse I said thank you, I just didn't bow down to him like he was a god that had just granted me eternal life. I realise when I write this that if you don't know the situation and don't know me, it can sound like I'm a petty person. And that's one thing that is so frustrating with narcissistic abuse. The narcissist allways comes out on top and the victims are afraid to speak up because it will mostly just bite them in the ass.

The empathic part of us try to understand their point of view and to see our "mistakes". But it's just a sick game that makes us believe that we are something we are not.

Death by a thousand paper cuts, Minute, (my-noot) but aching trauma, Object and shout and call it out, Ahhh there you go-“such drama”, Eggshells crunch beneath your feet, Attach your thousandth filter, Sift through the blame, “Let me explain....” A battle you’re not built for, Those cutting words, what did they mean? Deceptive eyes avert you , The mind ablaze, an endless maze, Of “I didn’t mean to “hurt” you, “You’re broken and can’t help yourself, If you act right….walk the line.. Perhaps we can move forward…” Their “forgiveness”, so sublime, And thus a surreptitious web, Spins binding cords entrapping, You’re in a war, but still unsure, If any of it’s happening… Death by a thousand paper cuts, The slowest way to die, Not murdered in blind passion, Nor understanding why, Murder in slow motion Don’t contemplate that gun, Some sage advice to you, my friend? What you must do… Is RUN.

This went on for years between me and my Mother. The rest of my siblings didn't see this side of her until one Christmas she was visiting and made my 16 yr old son cry from the hurtful, mean things she said. I immediately took her to my brother's house and refused to come to Christmas dinner- I told everyone that was the last straw and I didn't want her back at my house. During the rest of the visit, she played victim- but when I refused to back down, she raged about me to the other family members and they FINALLY saw how she treated me and my kids. Still, when she was dying, it was one of my daughters and I that took care of her in her home with hospice care until she died. She was awful to deal with, but I know I did what the right thing and have no guilt, or regrets concerning her.

My father and sister sees it like I'm going a teenage phase and that just adds up to all the abuse.

Wow.This is so accurate. Especially how a narcissistic person will victimize themselves by claiming how "misunderstood" they are by the very people who know them best. They gaslight and deflect instead of self-reflecting and doing the deep work with humility.

@Franky566

"invalidation" "marginalization." judging by the buzzwords, you are apart of the problem.

Whenever my ex used to turn into the victim or do something especially nice for me, I started reminding myself "it's a package deal. You don't get 1 without the other."

Reminds me of being in school with kids that bullied me like this! They would bully me to the point of breaking point. Hitting me, in front of the teacher (nothing happened) and abusing me verbally. They even made known to authority and would say I deserved it! When I'd hit them back or defend myself in anyway, I was the villian and was immediately punished. So, whenever the teacher tried "talking" to me, I'd remain silent. I would nit talk to them nor explain myself like they asked me to. Whenever I tried to give my side of the conflict, I was immediately shut down and told I am in the wrong no matter what. All this taught me, was that authority will never protect you nor believe you when you are abused, beaten or violated. You are your best defender and protector. So, I made sure I learned self defence and learned this evil behaviour to be able to recognise it and also be self aware that I don't turn into the same kind of person as a trauma response. Now when I see adults acting like this. I grey rock. I become so boring they leave me alone. Priceless.

When I would say that he hurt me with his behavior, he used to say “If you only loved me more or understood me better, you wouldn’t feel bad about the way I treat you”. He would then cry and/or leave for a long time and I wouldn’t know when he would return.

Yup. I've seen them bring up their childhood abuse... that is hard for any caring person because you know there's possible truth to it, but there is no excuse or free pass for inflicting and passing their trauma along. You can have compassion for the child they once were but make sure it's from a distance. Focus on who they are in the present when they do that.

YOU weren’t listening. I’ve dealt with narcissistic abuse since birth. Mom, mom married three spectacular specimens in a row, I married two - and now I’m pondering every single relationship I’ve ever had and seeing a pattern. At least a pattern of cheating, and my subservient behavior. I have been a pawn in many a narcissistic power struggle. But this guy takes the cake. I almost ended my own life from a sense of DUTY!!!!! And he’s mad that I didn’t!!!!!!! Freak.

My ex-wife was constantly playing the victim about EVERYTHING! She isolated me from my own friends and then blamed me for it (gaslighting me). After the dissolution, she's still playing the victim. Come to find out, my friends ghosted us BECAUSE OF HER. She blatantly lied to me and told they stopped hanging out with us because of me. After the dissolution me and my friends have been hanging out again. THIS IS ABUSE! ABUSE HAPPENS TO MEN TOO!

Yessss!!!! "The victim-bully sequence confuses people, but once you as a strategy or a tactic by the narcissistic person it makes more sense than seeing it as the narcissist being two different people." I can soooooooooooo relate to that!!

Recipe: once they are called out, IMMEDIATELY someone needs to say, "OK, now this is where you drop into 'victim mode'. Show everyone how well you can do that! " Then everyone can sit back and watch either the transformation or confirming rage! NEVER do this in private. That is when you should just walk away.

This is brilliant and very satisfying to me as a scenario of justice, which almost never comes for the narcissist. But in my life it will remain a fantasy, and I need to live less in my fantasies, of being valued by the narcissist, especially. It is challenging when you have discovered that your perceived reality was never what was happening at all. This recovery has peaks and valleys and I keep learning about new aspects, but the scary part is seeing some of my own patterns and also seeing my own responsibility. This is not for sissies.

I did that to my mom the last time we had a fight, more than 3 years ago. We were alone, but still. When she started crying I stood straight, took a big breath and with the most big eyes I had ever open I called her out. Crocodile tear drops. I was perplexed and proud of myself for being able to pull that off. I think she was shocked too and that was the main reason she took so long to start hoovering me (almost 1 year). She came back with her victim mode in november and managed to convince the genitor to let her into my building. Then she brought a letter in december, but I haven't read it. I am not made of steel. I still cried. But now I am educated and awared thanks to this community, in a big way.

People "forget" about the bullying sequences because they don't want to believe that narcissists are actually aware of their behavior even if they do whatever to get away with it. A bully-victim narcissist has no shame, they DO believe that their nasty schemes are superior intelligence, and that people who empathise and try to understand them are dummies. I no longer tire myself with the victim episodes' act of a narcissist once I called them out for it. I just let them be in their pathetic act and keep myself at bay...

At the end..."remember, narcissists aren't two people...they are just one, well oiled manipulation machine." 💥 And this (plus so many other reasons) is why Dr. Ramani is the leading narcissistic expert 🙏

The insulting/hurtful comments that you then react to and point out that were hurtful and demeaning he responds with "I was just joking!". Happened ALL the time in my relationship with my soon to be ex husband of 20+ years. And then of course I was accused of overreacting and being to sensitive!!! Great video Dr Ramani!

If anyone walked in, they would probably think I was the mean, nasty one..but they would have no earthly idea just how much madness and destruction of my mental wherewithal occurred by his hands for YEARS before I finally snapped and had enough.

When divorcing the narc, and I was telling him off for all the horrible things he said and did throughout the years, he called me a bully. If I had not been so traumatized by him, I would have laughed myself silly, since he would always find a way to blame me for the way the marriage was. I've heard stories, through my children, that his current wife is very unhappy with the way he treats her over how he treats others. I'm so happy to know that someone else sees the truth of what he is.

The 'I'm the victim' bully is my mum, and the 'I'm just joking' bully is my ex. I wish I could've come across this information decades ago. It would've saved me years of stress, pain and trauma at the hands of those two.

I'm an empath and I have my limits. It took me years and years to learn to not respond and fall for the poor me manipulation. Narcs all around in so many areas of my life. Work, friend circles, even churches! My heart used to be so soft I couldn't stand a person to cry. My soul would crack. However, after finding myself feeling too many emotions that weren't even my own, I began to think I didn't want to live anymore. I had enough finally when I felt I was broken, but didn't want to be destroyed. I started finding ways to help myself overcome that extreme compassion and buffer myself against the manipulators that only wanted to play with my kind nature. I've gotten so good at it I can spot a game player from the beginning. After honing my radar so I could be there for anyone who truly needed me, I felt like a dark cloud parted and a feeling of contentment started creeping back in. I stopped feeling so drained that I needed a couple of weeks before I could be around others. I started feeling more energetic, and would feel invigorated after a friend in pain would seek me out for comfort and understanding. Eventually, without wasting my energy on a vortex of negativity and soul draining liar, I discovered I had tons of energy left for others. Being there for good people you'll find you come out of that with even more energy. There is nothing more energizing than helping a deeply hurting soul, and do it unconditionally. There is nothing more soul draining than a narc only sucking your true goodness for their own needs. I hate them, they are despicable. That is why it is a piece of cake to just walk away and give them zero attention or one second of my time. They are irrelevant. Turn away from them. You don't need their darkness. Other people worthy of your deep soul of compassion need that space the unworthy fill up with angst and negativity. Get rid of the poison.

@DJ. Your comment is the truth.

You just described my parents 60-year narcissist / bully / victim relationship. My father has been a self-centered, pathological liar, drug/food/porn addict, thief, pedophile that couldn't care less about anyone and would literally sit back and watch my siblings and I suffer because we did not have the basic necessities of life. He would have everything he needed and wanted times 10 while we went hungry. Meanwhile, my mother would defend him to the ends of the earth. She did not care that he stole food from us, she did not care that we were being hurt outside of our house, she did not care about anything other than his needs and what did she get in return? Complete disregard for her well-being by the maniac she worshipped. Once we called him out on his horrible behavior he would send my mother to fight his battles. She would get angry and call us names and falsely accuse us of stuff and not believe any of the true things we said about him. The only thing he would say was, well I'm doing my best and you know I love you. He never has taken responsibility for the horrible things he has done to us or my mother. Nobody likes them they have no friends because nobody trusts them. They have ostracized everyone around them because my father is constantly lying and constantly hurting and every time he gets in trouble for it, he sends my mother out to fight his battles. And then he will call and leave passive-aggressive messages on our phone saying we put our mother in the emergency room. I am not joking, my parents live at the hospital every week. They take turns having health emergencies yet they are the healthiest 80 year olds I know.

Yep, yep, yep and yep. I warned my mother that if she continued to be passive aggressive and verbally abusive I'd pay my month of the expenses and then leave. When I followed through she threw a tantrum. I don't mean the expression. An actual tantrum. Tears, raging, telling me I was a rotten person who didn't treat HER like a human being, somehow it was also my Dad's fault and everyone under the sun's fault except hers. Though it was her behavior that drove me off and her behavior that lost her the second income I brought. Even though she spent months nitpicking everything I did and interrogating me every time I went out when I was an adult with a job and deserved respect in my own right. Not that a teenager deserves the verbal and emotional mind fuckery I went through either. I wasn't going to live in a place where I had to walk on eggshells and be afraid all the time. I am not going to live in a place where I get the silent treatment for two weeks, because I left a pair of socks in the bathroom. No one should. Let them scream about how you used them or abused them, but they can live in their victim delusion alone. They will lie to you, themselves and everyone who will listen about how you betrayed them. No. They do it to themselves. Let them learn that cause has effect and the shitty crap they pull has consequences. Even so, they aren't going to change, but at least you're out of there.

Yup my mother is like this, only less tantrums (although she does have them). I had to have a 2 hour long row with her just to be allowed to use my own money to buy a car. I was an adult, in my 30s and she was determined I was not going to be allowed to have my own transport, because I guess it equalled freedom. She was *unspeakably* controlling and the micromanaging was incesssant. Of course, she'd play the victim if I objected: her favourite one when micromanaging me was "I'm just trying to help!". Which must be one every victim of a narcissist has heard. When I was at home, she was sometimes asking me what I was doing 15-20 times per day, demanding I recount every conversation I had with every single person when I had been out. Or she'd come out with weirdly specific questions about things I had done days, even weeks before. She once made a huge deal because my grandma gave us a lasanga to eat for dinner when she was away on holiday, because we didn't make what she had told us to that day or something. She'd deliberately picks fights over anything, big or small for her narcissistic fuel.

I’m sry u experienced that & wish u all the best moving forward wit ur life. it’s always good to have friends who can be ur support system, when ur family maybe can’t. my friends have helped me even if it’s jus hanging out, so I hope you have sum ppl in ur corner. it’s difficult sumtimes even when ur not in the toxic situation anymore. I hope anyone who treats their family that poorly has an epiphany & acts right before it’s too late. sum things i’ll never forget, & no one should have to relive their bad memories. sum times it’s jus not worth our peace to try & repair a relationship. happy for you that you were able to leave the situation.

This is my husband and it’s how he got me. He played the victimized father trying to do good by his kids but he keeps picking the wrong women. I tried to help him by getting him to therapy and being a “good wife and step mom”. But over time I started seeing his behaviors and tactics and would turn around and play victim. When he left he tried to say that I was the toxic one. And that he took his kids from one toxic person to another, he has such a hard time picking women. He thought I would be different 🙄. Family therapist didn’t buy it.

Then he just started scream at me that I need to respect him and that he would no longer help me move back to college for the school year. There is just no winning in this scenario.
