      It’s really not about a lack of love for yourself that is a submissive way to look at it. Women aren’t trained to be aggressors and some men have taken advantage of that and that makes them have a lack of integrity for themselves since they should be held accountable for their actions instead of being rewarded. Women deserve to be coached from women straight out of the gate so they are in control and emotionally armed for manipulators that they will come across! Period!!!

    I'm here because yesterday, I realized I'm dating a toxic man. I tried asking for clarity on some behaviours I was noticing and immediately was called crazy, told I was overreacting, that my emotions were all over the place etc. I even made sure to word it as carefully as I could, very civil and owned my own feelings and I was still belittled and invalidated. My heart is really broken because I was getting very emotionally invested in this relationship, but I know better now because of videos like these, support groups and therapy than to even allow a red flag to wave around in my life. It just sucks because I'm ready to date, but there's been nothing but extremely unhealthy men, seems like literally everywhere.. thanks for this video, I just needed reinforcement for my own feelings I'm going through now.

      I have a feeling alot of us didn't know toxic men (even toxic people in general regardless of gender, race, political view, religious view, sexual orientation, etc.) a pressing issue 10 years ago. A stark difference these days, as we've become so much aware now and are learning! Not only that, because I think toxicity is growing and in correlation, the awareness is following suit too with strong measure. And it's never too late to learn. That's all very much apart of growing and evolving in life and what ultimately determines the traits we want that are necessarily for our survival and the respect and understanding that comes with it.

      @@Dupilkac I'm sorry to hear that - I know it's difficult to endure the pain. Also equally glad that you're in a safer place now. Yeah, the funny thing is, we always do - that's our gut instinct. That's arguably our true essence, our spirit or soul if you will - it's communicating to our gut, that something is unsafe. But then what happens is that our brain gets curious and wants to confirm it... and so we find evidence to see if it confirms our gut feeling. Which isn't actually a bad thing because the brain is striving to learn which is great for knowledge. Sadly, we take a lot of pain during that process too, yet in a way it's good to know as the knowledge is necessarily for our survival. So in that regard, it's not really stupid or regretful at all. The pain is what's drawing us to believe it. And I know it's hard... like anything in life, it's all a process and yep, it's slow and painful and yet the journey is where the gold is, not necessarily the destination because that is susceptible to uncontrollable change. You've found this channel and it shows to me that you're taking a great step towards a healthy recovery!

    Master manipulators are good at acting as though they take responsibility for their actions and inactions from their past relationships. My ex is a con artist. He said nothing bad about his wife who he told me was an ex-girlfriend when we met. He spoke highly of her as he did about me to his girlfriend after me. So be careful and mindful and like Stephanie says to trust your instincts. My question was "if she was so great why are we here when you could have worked it out with her.? Soon after he started to agree with any statements that questioned her mental state and he did the very same to me with the girlfriend after me.

      to be too nozy about such thing,) like time, and arguments, hurt dealt. And probably after all mentioned above, the cheater ex gf is not generally a bad person. it's seems healthy go me, but it was a half truth among others. Manipulation.

    1). they own their part in past relationships - (look out for the person that says their X was crazy and caused the downfall of marriage or relationship etc without taking any responsibility )
    2). Does this person know where their wounds are? Are they aware of their struggles/tough times etc (self awareness) are they healthy enough to work on themselves and heal
    3). He/she’s not consistent on intentions - be careful of what you tolerate/allowing them to be flaky. Respect and communication!
    4). Codependent? Needy? desperate? This is a dangerous place to be as you will naturally attract people with bad intentions- learning to love yourself is imperative!

      Brad McEwen yes it goes both way. Male and female narcs are much the same though not all narcs have exactly the same processes but almost. Ie they don’t all cheat for example but they are all controlling. Mine expected to date without expectations. He said this after me constantly getting upset at him flaking. I expected the basic levels of respect and it’s clear in hindsight he expected me to lower my standards by call them expectations, well I’m sorry but we should definitely have a level of expectations going into a relationship, dating us one thing but as it continues on the bar needs to be raised not lowered. He’s future fake that he saw us together for the next 20 years by telling a parable about a couple who were in a similar circumstance to us but then would not advance the relationship and then I was pushy for feeling frustrated at his hot n cold behaviour? Hmmm nope nope nope. I did nothing wrong except expect what a normal person would from a normal relationship and these were only the basics. God forbid we’d stayed together longer, our fights would be huge! Lol 5.5 months was enough oh and then he dated his “best friend” and made her his gf with zero excuses when I got excuses galore. He just does it to run it in your face. It’s all a big game to them. She’s very clearly naive and so gas lit by him now she’d never believe me if I told her he’s toxic.

All the mainstream cultural standards are exploited. Without so much as a ounce of empathy or compassion. The next piece of supply is caught by the ever wondering eye & flirtation of a cycling mind of repetition with all the stages in each and every target. We were with someone we thought perhaps high intellect would provide logic and stability. It is amazing how, in my experience, the change to a seven year old could happen with Tourettes like speed. Then back once your skewered into submission. This is how they can be in places of power & percieved prestige.

    Thank you, Stephanie! I had always thought I was jealous because I was wrong and didn’t have any trust but it happened only with my last ex because he did things that made me question everything. He made me think I was crazy and a psycho stalker but now I don’t care. At least I found out what he was doing! I’ll never forgive him because I already forgave myself and that’s enough!

      Ivy Conner forgiving yourself is good, however, forgiving the one who hurt you is best and it is the key to total freedom. Because emotional wounds are like cancer, they can lie dormant for a long time and when you are wounded again (by someone else) or triggers of offenses come, that cancer (wound) can resurface or manifest itself again. "When someone hurts you, they take advantage of you, when you don't forgive them, they keep the advantage over you." Forgiveness is a key... forgive and set yourself FREE!" This is GOD'S way for us to be free and to set the perpetrator free as well.

      Your not toxic. Pathology, family dysfunction and what we grew up experiencing as children we couldnt control. As you became older you may allowed toxic to continue in your life from dysfunctional cycles in your life, familiarity, relationships but unhealthy ones. That became part of your life. You have the choice to change that. That dosent have to be you anymore because you wasnt created as toxic. You were created as whole.

    I have been single for a while. I am male but a lot of these tips work for both men and women. I almost pitty any man/women trying to find the right person nowadays, it's like navigating a minefield. I have taken the time and energy that I would have spent in the bars or being on online dating, to pay off my debt, pay off my car, go back to school, and generally getting my life back in order after not having direction early in my life and not always making good choices about my future. I have learned to accept myself and other people, we are all different.

    As usually this is a great teaching!! It really is free coaching/counseling. I appreciate all you care to share.
    When a person puts up with disrespect no matter how small or subtle, that needs to be a big red flag!
    Mutual respect, keeping your word, honesty and ownership are basic staples for any relationship to be healthy.
    Hoping things will change with no proven track record is only wishful thinking and sets a person up for hurt & much disappointment.
    Don't just listen to what a person says, but watch what they do.

Now, 4 moths later I cannot believe I allowed myself- in the first place- to endure, accept or even rationalize such behaviors. Now I know better, now I see my worth as woman and I'm building up my self-confidence, which I think was the reason why I accepted being part in such a relationship in the first place.

    My narcissistic abusive ex constantly said, "I'm not perfect." not just that he knew he was imperfect and had a low self-esteem that he, upon confrontation, would not admit though, but the excuse "I'm not perfect." is just a manipulation tactic to get away with their crimes. Narcissists still walk on through life, pretending to be perfect. He was also good with the triangulation and my blamed jealousy on me. I had never been a jealous person in my life before I met him. He said the same about his former girlfriend (Who by the way died while she was with him! Go figure!) and said, "I cheated on her, because she was jealous, so if she accuses me to have an affair, I thought, I might as well do it." Not that he caused this jealousy in her like he did in me... ha!

If a guy cant have structure in his life and hold down a regular job and pay for his own life, then don't even THINK of making out with him!

But, ya he's narcissistic, we both are codependent. I was married to him for 20 years divorced 3 years but, dated him 2 out of the 3 years again with getting engaged only to find out he cheated again... But, ya I'm 100% done now. Healing from this though has been the hardest thing I've ever had to do.. I have 4 kids which 3 of them are still at home so, it's hard seeing him at all. And, trying to heal at the same time when he's still in ties with me for kids, finances, etc. I can't wait till I am no longer codependent & have any harsh feelings towards him.. I just can't wait for that day!! Thank you Stephanie for helping me so much healing from narcissistic abuse for over 20 years.. It is really, really hard to even cope sometimes still.
