    The bottom line is that the relationship you think you have with them you really don’t have. The narcissist is existing for and responding to their own feelings in their head, and your existing in your own head in the fantasy of the healthy connection is not there. There is no real connection. It is a mirage.

    I’ll never forget the day my ex said to me on a video call…”I can’t wait to punish you.” I was so confused. When I asked him what he meant, he said he was just kidding. He wasn’t. My life was hell on earth for about a year after that….until I left the so-called relationship. What an effed up mess.

But it was everything else behavioral wise that eventually drove me away. (Technically they went away but that was after I put up some boundaries...

    Absolutely perfect truthful video of my life with my ex narcissist, little sharman you know him well. He lives permanently in a punishment mode. I have never known anyone that holds huge grudges over tiny things or slights he thinks occurred and his punishment is always way over the top and abnormal. 20 yrs ago my brother in law teased him for wearing a pink shirt, 20 yrs later he still fights about it and wishes death on him. If I tell him something is his fault he will argue and argue that it's someone else's fault and on occasions he will stand and cry and repeat "so it's my fault " and slap himself across the face each time he says it. It's very distressing. I can be reading a book and he comes home, he will walk straight into the room and scream "so what have I done now " I have no idea what happened but a huge argument will ensue, no matter how much I say I don't get it, there is nothing wrong he will continue until I leave the situation. Weeks later I would find out he'd be cheating or done something underhand to me and realise that's why he caused the argument. Living with a narcissist is not living at all it slowly erodes your peace, confidence and ruins your entire life.

    Another variation on the Narc's punishment is that I have to be punished for anything that anyone does to him. I don't have anything to do with what he doesn't like nor can I do anything to change it and never, never disagree with him. He sees that as my defending the offender and being disloyal. I have learned, after over 35 yrs of marriage, to expect that I will be criticized, insulted, humiliated and have to endure his harangue until he runs out of steam. I used to tell the Narc to confront the person about his complaint, that I can't do anything about it, and ask why he is yelling at me. The Narc's answer is that I am here and who else is he going to tell. So with that answer I finally learned that I have to brace myself and keep silent until it is over. And to know that the moments of calm are only when I am out of range of the Narc, in another room or when he is talking to someone else.

      If you are not married, get out! I have been there and am there, only my circumstance is much more complicated. You are NOT nothing. You are NOT invisible. They are like crack, and you need intervention. Look elsewhere, spend time with a friend who values you, pick up a hobby, better yet pick up the bible and seek Jesus. He will never leave you. Don't feel that just because someone with a mental disorder treats you like crap, that you are crap. YOU have feelings, YOU have compassion, YOU are probably the most loving thing ever and that is what makes you so appealing to someone who can't love. Life is so very short and precious, see your value and don't short change yourself. I know, it's almost impossible to think there are people who cannot love, but I found out the hard way that it's true. If you are here looking for answers, believe me that it's worth it to step back, reevaluate and see your value as something you shouldn't throw before a man who will trample it under foot.
      Prayers to you.🙏

    Your package delivery analogy is very helpful! I think its a terrible irony that I've spent years in therapy (off and on) to address problematic people in my life and even the best counselors I've had, have never been able to express or explain these personality disorders. How helpful it would have been to have fully understood that the painful people in my life weren't worth explaining things to. As you said, toddlers in adult bodies. And for years, this is who these people are... they are not evolving... this is who and what they are. And I think this is a very difficult pill to swallow for the populace in general, that some people can not really change for the better. Its taboo and goes against the faery tale notions or religious posturing that people can change for the better. Some peoples brains are literally wired differently. There is more mental illness or personality disorders than people want to discuss or face.

    What a good video this describes my situation spot on, I 'm currently living in the same home with two narcs , one is more malignant than the other their a couple that fight constantly! I don't understand how they can even still be together? I got my answer in this video, as well as explanations of other issues, and very well explained, the dynamics of how these narcs perceive and interact with any random situation. I no longer engage in any activities or conversations with these narcs for my own self preservation, I know I'm allowed to choose to do so, by setting boundaries, and detaching myself from any association and keeping my distance, I found being silent has been my saving grace, I no longer give them any power, to their reactive abuse and baiting manipulations, Silence is golden! thank you for posting this I found it extremely helpful. 👍

    You must’ve met my sister then. Because this video is an exact description of her. While there are certain aspects of her disposition I understand, because I know she doesn’t know anything about narcissism and no contact, which was what I did, I think I can parse out the difference between the injustice she feels from misunderstanding and her malignant narcissism, which is much more active, than our mother’s was. Anytime you’ve decided to disagree with and dismiss the court and break into someone’s house(I don’t live there yet), because the court approved the new owner changing the lock, you don’t even hide it, because you tell the court you disagree and you change the lock again, there are a lot of statements made there. It’s possible that the ONLY thing stopping her right now, is the court dinging her financially, but I agree that, once probate isn’t complete, it is, “But wait! There’s more!” I’ve let the court know that I’ve spoken with police so, once I have the deed, if I even see anything shift in that house, I will be trying to get that menace arrested, so she won’t need to worry about her house either.
    But, I can see how the wheels in her head grind. Any possible injustices coming from her are utterly omitted and any she feels are from me are under a microscope. The projection is also insane. She has constantly called me underhanded. But she doesn’t see that, trying to get me to circumvent probate and just move in, was probably her way of ensuring that, as long as both properties remained within the estate, that once I passed, as the eldest (something she might even try to accelerate), there’d be little legal footwork that would stop her from inheriting what I have, as next of kin. So, while on the surface, while it may appear that she’s enraged, because probate is simply costing her control and money. As far as I’m concerned, from what I do know about her, it probably because she had a very long term, underhanded plan, where she does absolutely nothing in her entire life, but receive the work our parents and I did, in her absence. That she is poor, house poor, probably has no health benefits, nor retirement, means that probate has obliterated whatever she may have had in mind. So, if you want to see a crazy, angry narcissist, that doesn’t even care about the court - she’s the poster child. All of the intricacies spelled out here? Yes, they are EXACTLY her and I already know that, if I don’t sell the property, I will need security up to the 3rd floor - and there is no 3rd floor.

    I had a friend who encouraged an ex of mine to stalk me because it gave her attention when he went to her for advice, then she got someone to send me a threatening message because I stopped wanting to be her friend (of course she denied it) after i found out about it, she then got offended when I called her out for spreading gossip about me - and another colleague who went for the same promotion as her, she then cost me my job because apparently she was the victim in all of this. This happened in a space of over 4 years, and even though I've now moved away from her, I'm still half expecting her to pop up and throw something else my way.

    Let them sit with their feelings, over time they'll absorb it, conciously or otherwise. You see, silence and solitude do good to everyone, but it does specially good to narcissists. Most people who I've heard had a breakthrough in their narcissistic symptoms (specially those who weren't in therapy), or even consider themselves "ex-narcissists" were in a place they couldn't escape their emotions and were trapped with them.
    I've heard "I was locked in jail and...", "I was on a trip with my boyfriend and he dumped me, on a different state, on a rented house, I had no cellphone, I had nowhere to go, no money, I didn't know anyone, I felt abandoned, I felt shattered, so I just sat there on a corner and...", "My father had just died and I was scuba diving and...", "I was in a spiritual retreat and they made us walk on burning coal, I saw my life going through my eyes, then everybody went to sleep and we each went to our individual cabins and...", "I had cancer and I was hospitalized, I was pretty much tied to the bed and I couldn't even talk and something flipped on my mind, I started feeling those emotions that I didn't feel before". This is of course anecdotal, those are stories I heard from people I've met through life and on the internet, but there sure is a pattern which I believe is clear and part of something bigger: silence, meditation, self-reflection, calm and quietude, does good to people, as well as confronting and identifying one's emotions.
    Now... nothing that extreme needs to happen, or to be forced upon anyone, but just not reacting and keeping silence and going about your own things can be the best help one can give someone like this to let their feelings start to sink in, and it won't be like magic they will change their behavior completely, not in a day, not in a month, not in a year, not in a few years, but they can slowly progress. And as a plus, it is helpful and healthier for both sides, even if neither side is narcissistic!

      I was about to testify here in the comment section of this exact type of thing. It is an experience in which I've had the great fortune of having gone through, and have also had several years been able to reflect upon extensively. I've not enough time or thumb strength to go into detail and personally, anything other than my own verbal testimony of this experience has yet to come to fruition although it has been attempted many times. I was just taken aback at how uncanny it was that right as I was preparing to account for this exact thing, I happened upon this comment, and even more odd for myself us the fact that not once have I ever heard, read, or witnessed any account of someone acknowledging this to be a true and factual process. It's always been from an individual that's experienced it, and 9 times out of ten, they are called out to be liars, or told that they must not have had any actual narcissistic tenets because it is believed by most that these things are permanent and cannot be resolved or changed, and it's very refreshing and has brought to me a long needed acknowledgement of accountability and accomplishment that far to many folks believe can't be achieved. I appreciate your willingness to share your thoughts and experiences here, and thank you kindly for speaking on this matter on behalf of the recovered former narcissists. I just can't thank you enough.

    I am blown away. To me this is the essence of narcissism. It is the root of their own suffering.
    But it is the cause of all the pain they bring to people being in relationship with.
    I listened closely.
    I can releíy to the content myself. I have to do it for not being a narcissist.
    In child forsters I was a victim of mental, emotional, espiritual and physical cruel violance. It has been done by humans you might consider non narcissistic people as well. The simple motivation was, there were no repercussions. I was a little kid, small, weak, I had no intelectual, emotional or body force.
    I remember my violent fantasías to pay back that kept me away from sleep. A part of this fantasías was, it didn't matter if they were proportional to what had been done to me. It was about killing.
    With time and nature I became an intelligent and physically very strong boy.
    I begun to defend myself. In reality I was shocked about my compasión that I had with my formal aggressors that had become victims. I watched myself doing only the bare minimum to stop the attack.
    I was now ruminating why I didn't make my early fantasies real, now I could destroy on many levels. I hated myself for being that «weak».
    But often I was shocked about how little of my force emotionaly and physically caused far more damage than exspected as well. It was the close connection to reality and not loosing it, that had gone in competition to the incontrolables fantasy of punishing to the «end».
    My soul simply couldn't do it. I had to accept that.
    I began to enjoy the safty, no one attacked me any longer. I could stand on an open place not looking behind me, I no longer had to stand with my back to a wall. They had done IQ tests to me, not every thought or word of me was percieved as stupid any longer. I learned foreign language in a few weeks, I became great in sports. I had at that point a happy childhood.
    Then I went into a borderle problematic as a late teen up to my twenties. Girls loved me to death.
    I was abusive cause of my abandonment issues.
    On one hand girls were the only one that protected me as a little kid, this was a reality I remembered on the other hand there was a deap fear due to the emotional deap relationship and loosing it.
    I learned my emotional power in love connections. I was surprised of the harm I could do. I was amaized how vulnerable love could make me myself.
    The vindictive fantasies started again. I was ruminating about destroying them emotionaly.
    In reality I executed only a small part of it. I was suffering doing that. But there was allways this intense feeling of deap hurt in a frame of reality.
    They didn't beat me up physically nor emotionaly, why does it feel like that. I wanted allways a 100% prove of their love and loyalty, that's impossible but they did it. But it wasn't enough for me. I was processing this mindfully cause I loved them so much. I began to love me for not punishing them in reality in the way my fantasías told me to do. I could feel my bounderies when I went crazy, I could watch myself or a higher institution in me calling it out, it's enough!
    I began to communicate with this great girls what's going on inside of me, they said: I know. I knew. I understand. I understood. I love you. You can stop it.
    I needed a few of this angles, I am so thankful.
    I became an responsable adult, I became a real man. I learned how vulnerable relationships, even trusting friendships and love makes us.
    I learned to split bad or good actions from a person in it's core. That made me able to accept and love myself. That forced myself to act responsable no matter of what I am thinking or feeling.
    And there is a danger in it too. I became a victim of abuse myself by understanding the pain of a borderlinish narcish psychopathic girl.
    We are equal, but we are not the same. And this reality saved my life. She didn't change like I did. I can trust my core. It was exactly me who did only the bare minimum again to defend my life against a tiny pregnant woman with a knife and a gun. And no it is not an adequate response killing someone for leaving a relationship for acting intolerable to the person that loves you. I have the right to survive only wanting to leave the situation.
    Reality is your 911, it hurts sometimes like surgery, it is your best friend. It safes lifes, families, little kids, friendships.
    When can you make friendship with reality?
    When will you take responsability for yourself?
    When will you take a fantasy for what it is?
    When will you stop punishing yourself without bounderies by the hand of a disordered person.
    When will you take care of kids you might have and leave?
    There are no good persons and no bad neighter.
    To me personaly, it is more a question of what part speaks louder to you.
    There is a sudo ethics out there, it is grandious.
    Don't go there!
    God is freedom.
    Punishment is so nessesary the same is pain. If it is meant to change behaviour. Go out of your head!
    You deligated it to the psychopaths in the dominating governments. You are not free to use violence to protect yourself. The power of their law is the «good».entitled «lawful» punishment. I little sociopath might be godly sometimes. Trust your instincts.
    It is not violence or punishment that is bad unless your pharoo uses it, even against you.
    It is to be an adult and connected to reality in a distance to your thoughts and feelings to be able to use it in a way of the freedom of God.
    Trusting and knowing your true inner core to do the right thing at the right time.
    The last thing I will have to struggle til the end of my life is being a regulated sothiopath.
    I go along with most of the laws, but not with the practice they turn them around against God and freedom and the very inner core of us we all know is right.
    It is the made up definition of a sociopath that makes me one. You will hurt me doing this. But I will know that no clinical definition should depend on changing laws and regulations.
    I wish to have a loyal loving woman and 15 kids.
    Reality and the built up psychopathic system is a reality and to face it is pain.
    But the sociopath I am can help little kids in child forsters with love, acceptance, education and money. I can have the relationships to women that I love so much, in the way it is possible. And accept reality another time.
    I am a happy man. My life is joy.
    Don't think you have to protect you only against narcs.
    First protect yourself against you and your fantasies.
    Protect yourself against society made of a majority of non narcs.
    I recieved cruel abuse by non narcs in Germany in child forsters in the 60ies. The German narzi did ungodly things a few years before that. A few years before that the church burned beautiful women alive. By definition all no sociopath at that time.
    The root of evil goes three ways.
    1. You are in the dramatic prison of a cluster B and you lost reality completly.
    I stay away from this dangerous people, but I have compasion.
    2. You don't have the intelectual tools to get reality.
    Something to have empathy with, but can't really do it. Stupid people hurt me the most.
    3. You are currupted by ungodly previlegs.
    Thies are the most dangerous by numbers.
    You can't escape that easy. I have no campasion.
    In my personal perception I deal with a mix of all three kind of destructive people.
    I feel I am entitled for nothing, I love to feel my limitations, but I feel my responsability where it is possoble and nessesary to act or not to act.
    US narc victims, stop bringing death and violence to the world and abuse poor countries for their resources with your elections and taxes. The enabler is the devil.
