    Your discussion may be more about the wealthy overt narc. My experience with a covert, stingy, miserly, narc. is more along the lines of no matter who they are gifting, they walk through their house to find something they no longer like nor desire, and then they wrap it big deal in gift paper, ribbons, and a gift bag, and make a big deal when they present it to you. I even had the idiot once print 3 black and white pictures on his home computer and printer, and hand them to me, ( cheap, cheap, cheap) not even willing to Goodwill frame them. LOL, went no contact on him, he stalked me for 5 years, before moving on to new supply. Pray for THAT person.

    My friend got a boyfriend who was rich and giving. He bought her a car, a motorcycle, and a boat (they lived in a marina). He said she could quit her job because he would take care of her forever, and it was "just like being married". But they were not married. When she was hooked, he started the narcissist abuse. She said he even picked a fight with her for which way she stirred her coffee, until she ran out of the house crying. She finally left him. He only let her take her clothes. The car, the motorcycle and the boat were all in his name. And of course, since they were not married, he didn't have to give her a dime, or support her, even though he made her quit her job and they were together for 13 years. She moved in with me. She had nothing. (I never could stand him).

He told me all the bills I could pay. When his mom bought me “gifts” it was always for his house. I never got anything I asked for, like a 20$ vinyl. EVERYTHING was for his house. They’re evil people. If your friend is feeling like me I’m praying for her.

But over time, I realized that every gift, favor, vacation,etc was a transaction that he would use as later to leverage obedience and compliance to any ridiculous demand that he had. Sadly, it took me over 3 decades to stop playing his game.

Instead of apologizing, he"d blame me and start talking about all he'd done for me.

    Yeeeessss!! Sales people use this tactic! They present you with a gift, to create the illusion of "obligation". To get your business. Because most people don't feel right about accepting a gift without reciprocation. Altruistic narcs do this to secure your supply, then treat you like dirt, and have you feel obligated to stay anyway. They'll hold it over you too, even though you never asked for their gifts. They'll still call you a "user" and tell you how ungrateful you are. In the end, when it's over, just consider those things they did, as payment for enduring torture. Honestly, there's no amount of money that can sufficiently reward you for the toxic shit you had to put up with.

    The narcissistic personality puts poison in the gift for its victim. Once you take the gift, you indirectly agree to give more and more times, and if you don’t, the punishment will be remorse and guilt. With time, you start giving as much as you can just to prove to the narcissist the opposite, but here the victim has fallen. In the trap, therefore, a person must be aware of what is conditional and not conditional gift, and not accept everything that is given to him

Everyone on the outside never saw his bad behavior, they only saw what he wanted them to see.

    My therapist defined a surgeon who had operated on me as having been chosen by God as my predestined soulmate. My life and my children's lives were made into an ongoing horror. My extended family members lives were turned into a horror. Religion was used to shield the abusers - the covert narcissists, and used to persecute my entire family and me. Healthcare, with the help of religion, has been used together to attempt to crucify my family and me. Danish, you have such great understanding of the narcissist, and the cruel schemes. My eyes often fill with tears when I watch your videos, and hear all you say. My life has been taken from me. My children's lives filled with suffering. The combined powers of a therapist, a surgeon, his son who was practicing as a prosecutor, their influence over departments and agencies, all too much for me to ever feel safe to physically access any healthcare services of any kind ever again. Tortured.

The street's sidewalk I had entered their building from, directly into their mental health services offices, wherein I was brainwashed with religious messages and social norms combinations, changed the street name from W. 13Th Street to the surgeon's name, giving him high honor. He had bodily harmed me, assisted by therapy services, and I and my family were trashed, and in dire danger.

    I feel for you I was in a similar position,I I had heart surgery and my husband (against my wishes) arranged for my mother (whom I was estranged from) to come and look after me so he could work Well great because that created tension from the outset, because I knew she wouldn't do anything altruistic from previous experience and if she did it would come with a big price/payback and sure enough she couldn't keep the act for long.... She treated the house like an extension of herself, had no boundaries (going out getting drunk, looking for men on the internet), stealing money from me, writing long letters about how she was the victim and not welcome (wonder why huh!), rearranging my furniture one day when we were out and throwing out my favourite piece from an antique shop without asking, oh and never looking after the kids, also using us to escape from her last relationship and basically moving herself into my home on what she thought was a permanent basis, expecting me to look after her indefinitely 😮 Honest to god most times I was just confined to my room it was like something out of the movie Misery and she was the Kathy Bates character! Give em an inch and they'll take a mile, so I'm not interested in playing out her version of Munchausen by proxy, with her leeching of me forever more because in her mind I am indebted to her (karma? That she would create). So in the end I finally plucked up the courage to go to a therapist and ask for advice and I managed to find my voice and be assertive and give her notice to leave because her so called care was actually making me ill with stress and if I continued I was going to have a breakdown. We are survivors, we are strong we have been through a lot but don't let her define the relationship to her advantage and use you or guilt trip you that's not love that's just trying to take advantage, I know it's difficult (my mother is still trying to hoover me back in because she lost her supply) but we deserve to be with people who respect us and our boundaries. You were not born to be a doormat or servant, someone who they can pull the strings with, a web of created co dependency or false obligation, don't fall for it because it will never end, I know I had to cut mine out of my life for good after that, so I know what they are capable of (extreme manipulation and selfishness) and you don't have to deal with that if you don't want to Relationships are supposed to be reciprocal not transactions, you deserve better and I hope you get it, good luck with everything, stay strong be yourself and do what you think is best , love ❤

    When I met the last narcissist before learning all these details from all of you on KZread, an important thing for me; I actually messaged the narc and said he must not be born of Adam’s race (an angel). BUT secretly I thought either he is a slick con or super nice. Boy was I right, A DEMON. Also without knowing all this, with my dad a narc - I always said I didn’t want to give children a demon for a father! ‼️🙏🏾

    Everything with a narc is transactional, including gifts. Took me awhile to peep game; but, once I did, I stopped accepting gifts from only him. If anyone questioned me about it, I would let them know that his gifts come with strings attached even if the attachment wasn't previously discussed.

    You are amazing & on point.this is what I have experienced all my life on & off by my parents,mostly my mom.but what happens is they torment you in private with nasty side remarks & call you ungrateful especially when you stick up for yourself when they play mind games.they make you feel obliged to always do things their way & make you feel like you can't survive without them because you are useless.that you needed their help.even if you didn't ask for it.often they will give random things to neighbours or friends who then see them as the kind little old people or old lady.but they dont see or hear the manipulative things they say to confuse you & damage your self esteem.thwy don't know how to offer genuine empathy or advice they only offer material/tangible things that can be noticed by others who will form a different opinion of them different to how you know them to truly be.everything they do is based on manipulation & to make themselves feel wanted & while because they are so empty in the inside.thwy long for people to feel grateful to them for things .

    Sounds like my narcissistic mother. If the person she wanted to give gifts to will try not to accept, she will insist forcefully and even get offended. So, the person had no choice but to accept the gifts. Then when that person does the slightest wrong, she'll turn into a monster and then throw all the "gifts" right into their face.

    all gifts ive gotten from my narc. have been gifts he would enjoy and have nothing to do with me personally. There have never seemed to be strings attached. it always kinda seemed like he gives gifts to appear normal because he knows thats what normall people do, as if he is prepared to answer in case he is asked. but I have noticed, when he gives gifts to others, its sure to be gifts I would have enjoyed and more personalized to me then to even them.

    Again, this was 'WHO' my father was. I just showed your video to my husband. I liked your discussion of "Cognitive Dissonance". I finally became aware that my daughter had told my younger sister (first; before she told me-[bc my daughter thought that I would not believe her...], that my Father (her Grandfather) had molested her from age 2 1/2 till about 7. When I first found this out about my daughter & my dad, it was about 2014-15. I could not believe my daughter (my father had 'groomed' me "well", unfortunately). My father, when accused; said that my daughter was a "liar"--which she actually HAD been, when she was a little girl. But I think now & after discussing his with my daughter I was totally oblivious to my father's nefarious intentions, as was my mother I think. All of this took so long to sort out. My father & mother would come over (driving 120 miles) several times a week to 'babysit' my young children for me, while my husband was at work. I also had been (conveniently [for my father]) mis-diagnosed with a 'Bi-Polar' condition (due to an earlier severe Head-Injury I'd had as a teenager, that 'mimicked Bi-Polar' & was put on a regimen of psych meds for about 20 yrs or so; which is why I was supposedly unable to care properly for my children. (My parents both believed that I was "unable" to care for my children & so that's why they came over to Babysit. I didn't see until just now how this "fit into my father's opportunistic little scheme" of molesting my daughter, right under everyone's nose. He seemed to magnanimous, so giving of his time, etc., etc. But this was all a ploy in order for my father to CONTROL the whole situation & 'get' what HE wanted to get from babysitting my daughter & her younger brother. I learned about this all too late, I feel. But I've worked hard to heal some of the major divisions this huge "betrayal" my father caused my family. Thank you for your assistance with the videos you provide.

    My dad would buy me what ever I wanted/spoil me just so he could take it away whenever he felt like it. When I was 36yrs young he brought me a MERCEDES BENZ SL550. He told it was for all MY hard work that I had always done for him. So when I got my SL550, I gave my car which was a CLS Mercedes Benz to one of our employees per my dad’s request. Then when he started dating one of his buy a so called girlfriend & they started having issues as always he decided to take out his rage on me & took my SL550 away at age 39yrs young! My dad loved telling people he would buy me nice things just so he could take them away if I didn’t do exactly as he wanted me to.😖

    They just don’t take it away. They will do WHATEVER they feel they need to do in order to get it from you, which in my personal experience is done through THREATENING, MANIPULATION, EXTORTION, Etc. & completely illegal. Regarding a Narcissist NOTHING IS UNCONDITIONAL (Gifts, $, ❤️), it’s ALWAYS CONDITIONAL WITH LOTS OF NEVER ENDING STRINGS ATTACHED.. Absolutely DEVASTATING, I hope there’s LIGHT 💡 at the end of the tunnel.🙏

    🔥🔥🔥”They’re nothing but a demon in an angel’s disguise”-Danish Bashir🔥🔥🔥 Even when it’s not lavish gifts. It could be something as small as bringing donuts to the office. It’s to test to see who they can get over on and to use it against you later; also known as a “temperature check”; checking the temperament of the people in the room. Who’s going to be blinded by food and gifts and who’s not. The sheeple will say “it’s free food, I’m not worried about it”. Narc will later say: “look what I’ve done for you” “you were OK with me giving you things before”

    My narc mom was like this. She would give us things or help us out, but you better expect that you WILL be paying for it in some way. Like every time she wanted me to do something and I didn’t immediately hop to it, she’d whip out her list of gifts like she was Santa Claus and start rambling off what all she’d given me. The other side of this coin was that she never remembered things I’d given her and done for her, like the fact I saved her life once. Nope. That street only ran one way because she EXPECTED our gifts and help as her natural right in this world. We were just lucky that she didn’t often take us down memory lane to the house where her memories used to go to be modified into a story about her. I really need to get back into therapy. 😂

She kept all of my wedding gifts for decades I had only the minimum to function with. Money that I was given/received she took and kept. Two horrible marriages were identical to the same personality I was raised by. I was not allowed any money or control of my choice...abuse/violent/hateful/dangerous....
