    Narcissists think everything is about them and get upset if you say no and they don’t respect your boundaries, so it feels like a risky emotional situation whenever you have any interaction with them.

      My mother-in-law does this to me all the time. The last 7 years have been a smear campaign against me. One time, she heard me listening to Dr. Ramani before work and texted my husband that it was unfair to him that I waste the days watching videos on me being a narcissist while he works. The projection is strong with this one. 🙂

    Before I retired, I was a college professor (in nursing). At one time, there were 4 nursing instructors in my department I am quite sure were narcissists. It was an awful time. I stayed in my position partly because I felt the students needed someone they could talk to and trust and partly because I love teaching. One got fired; one got driven out; and two retired.

He broke my fingers, early on he shoved me down. I don’t have a loving family and my mom is narcissist. You are so right Dr. Ramani as it was so hard to leave when I had little children and felt no one in my corner. Now they are grown and regret not leaving decades ago.

    Would a narcissist announce that they are a “good person”? I have heard this many times from people I think are narcissistic. Is it a common phrase or thinking by a narcissist?

    • @specialtwice4975
      @specialtwice4975 2 месяца назад +1

      Yes, they will say "I'm a good person".
      Of course this doesn't guarantee them being a narc. They could just be a jerk.
      What a narc will say though?
      Narc: "Hey, you~
      You wanna go for sushi?"
      Person: "Uh...I don't really like sushi. I told you this last week..."
      Narc: "What?! You don't like sushi? But you told me you love sushi. Of course you like sushi. Everyone does!"
      Person: "I don't like sushi..."
      Narc: "Nonsense! We are going for sushi, come on! Let's go! Yay sushi! Yay yay sushi!"
      Person: "I don't want to."
      Narc: "Wha...Now, now, lets go eat sushi. You wanna be a good friend to me, don't you? Of course you do! Your my bestest friend in the whole world!"
      Person: "We aren't even friends bro...da f?"
      Narc: "Of course we are! Don't you remember yesterday when I asked you for a cup of water? And you gave me water? We are friends now. Best friends."
      Person: "I don't think that's how friendship works. I don't wanna be your friend. I don't wanna go out for sushi. And you spilled water on my shirt yesterday, then tried to clean my shirt with napkins, and when that don't work, hugged me saying "sworry. I so sor-y". I didn't like your clingy koala hug."
      (They make their ideas yours. They say you like what they like. They don't understand the word no. That maybe you want pizza. And they make you embarrassed in situations and tell it differently than the actual situation.)

    I think I may be in ANOTHER relationship with a narc.. My boyfriend was very sweet the first 4 months or so. Love bombed the heck out of me. Offered me money before we got together...helped me out financially the first few months and then pretty much changed. He sometimes talks down to me, he says people annoy him that he is the smartest person around..can barely every say he's sorry. I remember him apologizing by saying I'm sorry, but you should be sorry too..when it was all his fault. Literally left me af a restaurant stranded. Then when I went to stay at a friend's house that night. .I would not respond to him when he was blowing up my phone. He retaliated by bashing me on FACEBOOK. One time I made him Mad he went on facebook and changed his Facebook status to blank and took everyone of our pics down to "teach me a lesson". Also has remarked that he wished I was more submissive. ..
    Hr does drive aggressive and not to the drivers face but will curse ..is this a narc???

      Probably a psychopath. They can make narcs their personal b.
      A psychopath will say to narcissist: "clean the floor, do the dishes, scrub the walls. Now!!"
      And the narcissist will bow and say "yes dear, of course dear." and do as they are told.

So that would explain why the love bombing is so deceptive, because it is not lies but real and sincere till someone puts doubt between you and them to sabotage progress and dreams.

My mom used to beat the shit out of me so I thought it was ok. I had a lot of unresolved trauma… I no longer do that and I no longer have those triggers. I am not a narcissist and I have really no other of the signs of narcissism. I have never cheated, I take responsibility for myself, and I’m not envious or anything like that. I’m pretty self reflective and self aware. I wouldn’t really hurt him I just hit him with open hand sometimes out of rage sloppily not like punching or anything that left marks or on the face. So I should say that. I just thought it was normal behavior.

    As a man I can tell you 100% Erika is an easy one to pull . She is the kind of chick that will go along either way pretty much whatever if she likes you . I don’t want to say lose but easily ran through . There is a big difference from being in a narcissistic relationship vs being easily ran through . I can tell you her longest relationship isn’t over 1.5 years . She has also been cheated on a lot . Definitely side chick material. That being said , when she is in her 40’s she will have some real knowledge and hopefully will help younger women .
