Narcissists want you to be the one that reaches out to them | The Narcissists' Code Ep 811

- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- narcissists want you to be the one that reaches out to them because when/if you do, they think everything they have done to you is ok. Not all narcissists or toxic people do this but the ones that do want to avoid accountability and blame you for whatever you went through.

Welcome my channel! If this is your first time seeing my face or hearing my voice, my name is Lee and I am a self aware narcissist. I have narcissistic personality disorder ( NPD ) and I've been in therapy for my personality disorder since 2017 and it has definitely changed my life because without it, I would have lost everything.
The point of these videos is to help bring awareness from the other side of the narcissistic *buse spectrum. All my videos give perspective on why many narcissists do what they do and the possible different reasons behind them. The victims and survivors get validation and the Narcissists (those that are willing) get to see that you can get help and that you are not alone.

Thank you so much
Use their pride against them. If they're too proud to reach out, so much the better. If they discard you, let them go.
Okay💗
@@PassionateFlower ❤️
🙏🏽🙏🏽
I like that! Use their pride and ego against them! Makes perfect sense. 👏
I give what I get🤷🏽♀️ You ignore me, cool you’re dead to me. You text me, I text you😂😂😂 Idgaf about nobody that much anymore🤭😂😂😂
DON'T BREAK NO CONTACT!!
🎯
NEVER! 🎉
Been No Contact almost 7yrs, same small town. I took alot ,and I mean ALOT of bullshit even have diagnosed PTSD on the count of this coward malignant narcissist, I will go to my grave HATEING him, he ruined my relationship with my daughters and I could never forgive him what he had done to me and my family, he done some horrific things that should never been done to children and thier mother!
Never Ever 😮😮😮
Don’t do it. Be strong. Move on!
I just feel lucky to be alive. I’ve been so emotionally and mentally abused. If this has never happened to you. It’s just hard to understand.
🙏🏽🙌🏾
People definitely don’t understand!😢
preach, my friend, preach!
Sometimes, I second-guess myself after abuse by malignant narc mom for five decades and covert ex who cyber-bullued me for 18 years, long after divorce. Then I read the comments and I realize that, no, I am not making this up, the C-PTSD is real
@michellewright6500 Say it loud for the people in the back📢📢📢
You’ll be a fool to reach out to some one who simply don’t think nothing of you…. Fix your esteem you deserve so much better…
‼️
They fear rejection to avoid shame ...but reject you in a heartbeat
Narcs play games
They stupid
Whew!! The way this gave me chills!! Cause this is the very truth!!
Blessu
Well done. Blessings.😮
I sent my narc a cease and desist order to stop the smear campaign. Certified mail that they had to sign and return before a certain date with threat of lawsuits and protection order. I avoided the face to face at all costs. So far the silence has been golden 🥰
Good for you!!! You deserve happiness and peace!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Bravo!! I had to sue my narc. He worked on cars and he offered to fix my car for free and I let him. SMH bad idea. He used the fact that he had my car against me. When I didn’t act the way he wanted me to, he held my car hostage. He got his boss to attempt to declare my car abandoned, and said I owed them $2500, all because I didn’t want to play his games. So, I sued him and his boss. I had text messages where he said he was going to fix the car for free. He ended calling me sounding like he was about to cry because his boss threaten to fire him because of the lawsuit. I actually got him on tape because, you know, narcs love to lie. 🤷🏽♀️
That's 1 way of reaching out lol
Please tell me how you did that. I need to do this to my mom and son please please help Me figure this out and stop it... thanks ❤
Foreal how did you do that?
They always avoid a conversation 😮
😔
They do!!
Little demonic kids
Absolutely. They don't want to listen to what you have to say. My MIL will ask what is wrong. However, if anyone responds she will hang up or say she doesn't need to listen to our complaints.
The avoid responsibilty. If you want to take them to account they behave like toddlers... My hair grew literally grey - you can´t reach to them in any way. It is just frustrating (you are like a hamster in a wheel with them).
If you're the pursuer, you're the needy one -they're the hero. You're subject to rejection-they aren't.
🏃♂️
❤
If you are the pursuer, you are being the masculine one. Period.
@@tropicaoptica You're not being the masculine one when they use it to manipulate you.
@@dehsa38 facts
I have 3 unread messages right now stating, "If you don't want me to message you just let me know". I know that's his way of attempting to get a response from me and I'm finally in a good place and I am protecting my peace.
Lol 😅 a sico response to get you back 😅 It's crazy how the whole relationship. We tell them that action speak louder than words. And they still don't comprehend that like Obviously, you don't want nothing to do with him if you're not contacting him. See if one of my ex's did this to me and I was forced to see him. I said not only are you a narcissist. But you're too dumb to comprehend. When somebody wants nothing to do with you boy Quit being so dumb and desperate.I h8 ppl who don't respect boundaries.
I have his phone number blocked on my phone. It's rare that I deal with him. He's baiting me. I won't fall for it again. He thinks he's so important, popular, busy, that I have to understand that his time, only, matters. It doesn't. Nor does he.
Category: Silence speaks louder than words. 🤝🏖️
Let the crickets and the tumbleweeds speak for you, honey. NO CONTACT
I've experienced that a good few times.. madness!
They can’t do nothing unless we invite them too! Stay no contact 🎉
🙌🏾🙌🏾
If you call them , they win, don’t take the bait.
💯💯
They would ignore calls. It isn't even worth it. We have to just let them go and move on with life chalking this up to an experience like no other.
1000% CORRECT. Better To Keep Very Quiet Stay Far Away From Them. They Are NOT Going To Change. Don't Ever Forget There Betrayal And That Back Stabbing It Came With A Shit Eating Smirk On There Face Just In Case You Didn't See It Trust Me It Was There. There LOSS OUR GAIN.
@@browneyes9507true. And there is the trauma bond
@@browneyes9507 They will ignore you if you call them out ... (If you put their masks down).
They are needy they are insecure they want YOU to always reach out to them rather than them ask you how are you. Very self centred people. I feel sorry for the kids of narcissist mothers :-(
100% true. Reaching out first means you are extending the olive branch and that's what their pride needs.
😫😫🎯🎯🎯
And what does the person reaching or extending the branch need?
@@SeymourKitty I can't answer that for everyone, but for me personally, I was trauma-bonded to my narcissist for 3+ years. It's not an easy thing to break, even once you know what you're faced with. Eventually I was able to move past it but it took me more than a year.
Today is his birthday. There is no way I'm going to wish him a happy birthday. He blew it 14 months ago when he ghosted me. I am lucky he lives almost 300 miles away so I won't have to deal with him anymore. He's also in love with his female roommate who is 26 years younger than him. I'm pretty sure he was seeing me to make her jealous but it didn't work so he ghosted me.
@@ruffian-wl1nd we each have our own individual relationships with them. I am civil with the person who hurt me, but that's just what's comfortable for me. I see her like lines of code in the Matrix. No matter how I look at her, I can never see her any other way again. It's now impossible for her to hurt me further so, there's no danger to me in being civil to her and it's what suits my personality.
Narcissists avoid being direct because it means they have to be emotionally vulnerable. That’s something they hate to show, emotional vulnerability. Only simps and cowards behave this way.
Say this, girl. Mine would use EVERY excuse inside of another excuse to msg me instead of just admitting he missed me. 🙄
The cowardly narcs tend to be passive aggressive
Indirect is well said Lee 🎯
💯💯🎯
💯🎯❣️So true they are pathetic AF no shame or accountability ever
They talk in circles, speak in riddles and throw out subliminals. They play with your mind and make you question your sanity
@@dillon2829
They speak in code and dog whist!e
@dilllon2829 he definitely did that with me ALL the time so he wouldn't have to officially commit but so I wouldn't walk away either.😡🙄
As long as he moves on, I don't care what he does.
🙌
I agree! (Speaking to the ex mentally) Buh Bye! I'll do me, you do you, I hope I never hear from or of you, ever again
This is so spot on. I went no contact over a month ago and he keeps watching all my stories even though I unfollowed him. And he tagged me on Facebook for a job posting, trying to get a reaction outta me. I kept thinking , ‘If you wanna know how I’m doing, ask me, don’t creep.’ But I’ve dated guys like this before they just wanna know they’re still on your mind / check and see if you moved on so they poke you. If you reach out it validates their fragile ego and then they ignore you again . Love your videos. Thanks for the honesty .
Pplpp0pp0ppp0p0pppp0p00p00l0000pp
I'm over a month now too going no contact...ignoring texts/calls even though I've blocked him?? Tbh before I wud have given in and taken him back...but its def different this time...instead of remembering nice things...all I seem to remember now is the bad/nasty/embarrassing stuff! Happy days😊
Yes mines keep making fake pages on tik tok cuz I blocked him and I know it’s him because we were together for almost 4 years and who else will go out of their way to keep making the same 50 Snoop Dogg pages to watch me then I go live and he gonna pop in and I said hey snoop Dogg and he like the live and got off. People are weird. smh😂😂😂😂
This video is like a normal person. Normal person tactics 🤷🏽♀️
Spot on they poke at you, just to get a reaction, the ignore you ! It’s a ego stroke ! Pay them no mind !
They don't want to change. If you reach out to them you have no bargaining power.
🎯🎯🎯
My dad(narcissist) thinks the world should revolve around him, his family(one of his brothers is like him, and their now, late mother, the enabler.) their sole convenience. This will happen with me!
Then, they tell me I'm the one who should be kow-towing to them. Not!
Reaching out to them, omg, that is Pure Burnout on a person. They don't reach out to you when you need help
🎯🎯
My ex would disrespect me, call me names, put no effort into our relationship, abuse me verbally & emotionally. Once I was fed up, left & wouldn’t reach out or respond he would accuse me it’s because I’m with someone else 🥴 I defended myself a lot saying things like “why would I want to be with someone who belittles me?” He just wanted a reaction & to hear that I was by myself. Now I don’t react to those comment bc so what if I am. I’m single. Been single for a year. Somehow he thinks I’m his property & feels appalled that I left due to his disrespect & abuse.
Yess the emotional and verbal abuse🙄🙄 😡😡
They can't be bothered to extend an olive branch but expect you to Over Extend
🎯🎯
Extending an olive branch to them is saying you want confusion, drama, and chaos in your life again. The only way to win with a narcissist is not to play. Go No Contact.
The reverse hoover is how I got pulled back into the toxic dynamic with my covert narc for the second time. Although he was the one who had blocked me in the past, he was always lurking in certain places and eventually started to shame himself publicly in his online profiles. That's when I reached out because my empathy got the better of me. I felt sorry for him and wanted to clear things up. Big mistake, y'all. It got ten times worse in the process and took almost three years for me to heal after we stopped talking. Protect yourselves and your peace!
yes! protect your peace
Abso freakin lutely!!! Protect your peace
You can not feel sorry for them. They lie and make up stories just to MAKE you feel sorry for them. They will say, "I'm sorry" a million times. They are NOT sorry!
I got lectured by the people I complained to, that I should be the one to "work things out". One of these people, gave me, literally, to him. Bitch!
I tried mending fences, only for the narcissist to blame me for the problems he caused me, that I should apologize to him, for making him look bad(he did that, not me) and I should "get with the program(his)." Not!
We are going on 1.5 days of the silent treatment. He got mad at me because I called him out on his bullying. I told him I get afraid of him when he raises his voice to me. I don’t feel safe. Now he’s mad. 😂. Well I went shopping at had a good time so I’m taking advantage of the silent treatment. I have peace.
I told the toxic person I needed space from their insensitivity. When I realized I had noticably more peace & joy in my life without them in it...I made the space from them permanent.
Same
I have to say, if they lied during the relationship why would you trust them with heightened emotions and drama?
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
The trauma bond is strong, it blots out all common sense.
For 10 years I was the one reaching out. I would be left on read or ghosted. I’d see them later and it’s like nothing is going on. I stopped trying and I feel a lot better. They reach out once a year to “check in” then when I respond they leave me on read. So I may just ignore that reach out too.
Your messages being left on read when you clearly see they’re online is painful. The ghosting and breadcrumbing excruciating too. Best to admit defeat, cut my loses and go NC no matter how painful the trauma bond is to break.
A narcissist can make you feel like you're a narcissist. Some of these things you discussed, while i appreciate it, can be the result of narcissistic abuse
This is difficult when kids are involved… they really try to get you to do all of the work
Agree.
I actually laughed in my ex narcissist face at the bullshit that was coming out of the mouth. I couldn’t help it. It was so ridiculous and I walked away. The bullshit only increased when I moved, changed jobs and the narcissist didn’t know where I lived
As my late friend Beverly used to say, "Don't do it, it's a trick." Thank you for breaking this down into laymen's terms. Namaste 💜
🙏
I fell into that trap last Christmas season. He was vile. I won't do it that way again, if I do, at all. He can't be bothered to be kind to me. His loss, my gain(ignoring him).
My ex narcissist fiancé stole from me when he moved out to get me to call him to ask for my stuff back. I never did. When his scheme didn’t work, he called me 14 times…idk why because I didn’t answer. The best strategy when it comes to narcissists is to ignore them at all costs. If people take their side, let them go. If someone else brings their name up, stop talking to them. Never engage. You are at war. Win at all costs. Get your peace of mind back. Battle on.
You are spot on so correct.
This would make sense as to why my narc never reached out to me first, never could call me first, everything was done by me first. It got old after awhile
Well, according to his smear campaign, I was the narcissist. I wonder what he thinks now since I've done NOTHING a narcissist does, while he's done EVERYTHING a narcissist does.
Doesn’t matter what he thinks nowadays
@@MentalHealness heyyyyy Mr Lee my narcissistic husband just sent me some money and asked for it back like I was going to send it back to him and I didn't contact him
@@whoaskedyou. Sounds like one of those phone scammers.😂
I stayed so long I ended up doing narcissistic things…so the smear campaign was easy as all the ‘evidence’ was there.
Only discerning people could hear through his lies and those are far and few apart
@@James-Johnson313 🤣🤣🤣🤣 sorry I just saw your reply but you're right 👍
That reverse Hoover tho🤦🏽♀️ my ex narc was contacting me using other numbers. He tried to lure me out to meet him pretending he was someone else😳 I’m so grateful I figured out it was him… gives me chills to think what he would’ve done
that's so... disturbing. :/
Geyting a 3rd party to contact them is no better than what the narcissist does. Just stay no contact, keep records and ignore them.
Yup that failed for me the 2 times I had that done
The blocking and unblocking resonated with me so much. You need to be the first one to block the person because the person who first does the blocking controls the power. I one time made a mistake by unblocking my narcissistic partner and then they blocked me on all platforms so I couldn’t even find them to block them when I needed to. And all he had to do was unblock me, and then start harassing me again. Make sure you block first!
After seven months of NC, this person reached out. I fell for the okie doke and the situation became worst exponentially.
😫😫
I can totally relate to this. My nex doesn't reach out to me directly - instead, he hacked my phone and deleted some photos from our previous text thread, he got into my Google email and deleted some emails, he broke into my house and ripped some pages out of my journals. I can only think that all this was out of anger and hoping to have a response from me. I have not responded to this in any way other than to get a new phone, change passwords and change my locks/install cameras in my home. Nothing back to him at all. And I don't plan to!
I was hacked as well and he has been through social media harassing me like CRAZY. Omg, thr fake pages, the subliminal messages and threats. He too intercepted messages, deleted some, probably sent others I didn't know about, etc. I was equally assaulted, he mocked me and invalidated all of tgebpain He caused me, and would torment me by having drug dealer accounts follow my page and comment on my post. Just all so weird, I went no contact and I can see He is finally backing off and seems to be feeling guilt,.but is attributing it to love not being on this planet, just very strange behavior.
get a permanent restraining order
They will do most anything, I guess. They won't acknowledge me as a human being worthy of respect, and having my needs respected, as they are.
I wish more people would seek help and therapy so I commend you for having the bravery to accept the diagnosis and work on yourself. Being left traumatised and mentally broken is disgusting. 3 years of hell is what I’ve been through and slowly picking up the pieces of my life. Thanks for your content
thanks for being here
All the tactics and tricks the narcissist will employ against you are just very real examples of what they are, and reinforces the fact of why you need to stay silent. They will pull you back in, but only if you let them. Staying silent is how you get your power back. Not power over them, your real power over you.
Exactly right, but I never did. He was the one who always reached out until I blocked him for good. Even then, he still tried to call me using his mother’s phone even after he said he didn’t want to talk to me anymore. What a shameless thing!
They are shameless, disgusting pathetic things... ALL of them
They can block their number from showing and easily bypass being blocked. Don't answer anonymous cyall either
That’s true statement for any relationship… why would you reach out if someone treated you badly.. let them reach out or ☮️
This is accurate for narcissistic parents too. 1 year NC and my mother started texting my husband about his mom being sick, doesn't text me but texts my husband. Then she also had a storage unit under my name, she moved her stuff without telling me to cancel the unit, the storage place had to call me to ask if I moved out. Which was a bait for me to call my mother to ask if they're done with the unit. I didn't ask I just told the storage place to go ahead and cancel it. I'm not falling for any of this crapola.
🍰😏
Just turn and walk away and, never look back . Live your best life as life is too short to waste time on these demons.
I did this before. And each time he treated me worse. Then I stopped and he got crazy.
That’s how it goes
@@MentalHealness thank you so much for helping me to make sense of all of this. I am done with him. He treated me so badly, but I can see clearly now😎.
@randallglatt9115 yeah. Totally 😊. You are right. You cannot win, because it's not about empathy, it's about power. I did not get that before. I wanted to behave in a respectful and loving way and learn from my mistakes until I realised nothing mattered as long as he wins. So I said to myself yeah I am done.
@randallglatt9115 wow thanks. Well said😊.
I realised it late, but when he tried to gaslight me and twist every single event to say he never loved me and so on. I realised. Yes you are probably right because you cannot love someone and you envy me for it. So he wanted to take that away. So I let him rage over everything and said only these words. I wish you the best.
I have no time for those useless games. There are so lovely people out there. I will focus on them❤️😎.
There are SO MANY narcs out there 😢 I get so Angry at them
Now I protect myself financially and that way if I need to run I’m out
Ain’t nobody got time for that
Too many experiences with them
Thank you SIR!!
You are absolutely right I keep telling him you act like I did something to you you want me to make up to you. I’m not doing that I didn’t do anything to you
I am a self-admitted narcissist and toxic person. He's right - it's very hard for me to be ashamed of anything. I fear that there is no hope for me.
I am going through the relationship situation, but along the way I realized that my oldest son 35 this year, whom I love dearly , is one of these npd folks, I'm catching it on both ends, I am learning tho.
I've read , distance yourself, it's hard enough going no contact with the relationship, how are supposed to go no contact with your children❓❓❓❓
whew🥺😢🤯
Embrace it. Narcissists are superior people. These people in the comments are weak minded
Only god please seek him
What if it’s your mother!?
Seek help it is possible to change
Mine started asking questions about what I am doing. He asked about my parking and stuff I’m doing after months of not wanting to “speak” he even asked about my job which he had never done,
Iv done this many times to myself since the relationship finished with my ex narcissist until the last time when he said something that was exactly reminiscent of the past repeating itself like nothing had changed ,it just hit me and revolted me ,I'm now finally cured .He will never hear from me again.
That's the one thing that endears me to narcissists that some will wait for an eternity for you to contact them, that means I'll never have to hear or speak to that demon again.
I’m always confused when you say your a Narcissist. Because most won’t accept it once they know. Thanks for this video
This gives him all the supply he needs lol and then he gives you insight into their thinking. It's pretty narcissistic but it's also not malignant which is great
We just feel sorry for gullible naive ppl....I'm a female and I'm a retired narcissistic but that was my past and it helped me survive these demons in the world.i grew tf up but I also had good intentions so that equals good karma 😊kinda like a theft who only steals food to survive....not because I'm evil....just a product of my environment
Reaching out feeds their ego. They think "aha I got em."
I work in the mental health field and this entire video sent chills up my spine. When you elaborated on the narcissist possibly hurting their victim or killing them gave me Deja Vue. My dad is clearly a narcissist and I hadn't talked to him in over 6 months due to us getting into a physical altercation. He hit me up this past holiday, telling me that he was worried about me and that I can watch the house while he and my mom went out of town to Georgia. My dad screams conspiracy to set you up for insurance money. I declined the offer and told him I'll catch them at a public place so we can rekindle the family dynamic. To make a long story short; my family is so toxic I don't even disclose my physical address to them. Should I be worried?
No worrying. Rebuke those thoughts and feelings. Steer clear of them and continue to keep your details private. You're wise and strong and you deserve to live your life and to have peace.
when i broke away from my step mom i had it in my mind she might come after me after i broke away and considered getting a hotel which wasnt fully logical (she was near 70 and i was at 25) but i also knew how bad her anger was and her husband before my dad supposedly commited s*icide. and i always have had in the back of my mind what could possibly of happened. she got his large property and farm and atleast when she talked about it, she didnt seem all that saddened by it.
@@Hackedagainandagainbycreeps thank you so much. I try to think positive thoughts but sometimes I have my guard up cus I’ve been through so much in life. Bless u for your comment though
@@TVindustries5000 yes. You most definitely have to be careful. Mental illness is real in todays economy. You never know the financial problems people have behind closed doors and it’s obvious in people’s actions. Pay attention and stay safe
@@TaRonThomasTv Thank you. I wrote my first comment carefully because it's very easy to cause offence in the comments. I felt moved because you really do deserve to live free of their toxicity and the burden of worry. You've come through a whole lot and that's something to be proud of for sure. My Dad recently felt it ok to explain the difference between family and relatives, when I asked why he won't talk to his sister ever again. Thankfully we can choose who to call family. We're on here together.
This one is easy to understand. Every person wants other people to reach out... except avoidant pd and schizoid
Currently going through this with my ex of 5 years … relationship was detrimental to my health , I wasn’t aware at first what a narcissist was back then but I always took note of how he treated me through his actions and manipulation . Being naive I’d always go back to him or he’d bait me into speaking to him and the cycle would continue of emotional abuse . Fast forward 2023 I’ve decided to finally take my power back and I’ve went no contact for 2 months and it feels amazing . However he is still watching my stories on IG and texting me from fake numbers . I ignore it all , I no longer give energy to things that don’t serve me !
🙏🏽🙏🏽💯💯
True they play from the same book, I had a similar experience
This is so true my neighbour a female narcissist does this to me all of the time. Thanks for reminding me of no contact.
Stay empowered
Mine too lol! They are creepy.
My ex knew his adult daughter was still talking to me so he would bring my name up out of nowhere when they were talking. He even told her that he’d talk to me if I called him because he was the one who reached out to me last. He hoovered me when I went no contact after 6 months. He did start the smear campaign as soon as he left my house because I didn’t cry or beg him back. Been no contact since for 13 months. Yes, he told his daughter that I should drive 3 hours to visit him and buy him dinner. Really? He’s going to starve waiting for that to happen!
He can eat the 💩 he put you through and drink the tears you cried over it. It won't taste good but I bet he won't need another meal for a very long time.
The audacity smh.
You keep getting stronger love while he holds his breath & waits on that 3 hour drive and that meal he thinks he deserves lol
sadly, we have to gently release all known associates of the narc. I know it is painful but it's truly the only way out with some of the narcs out there. Not all narcs but the ones that try to hoover after 30 years of no contact are out there. I know from experience. Life is better without the drama. I'm sorry this happened to you.
@@Cy-bz9jh Thank you. Yes, 6 months ago I realized I had to end all contact with everyone in my ex’s family. It was difficult for his dad and he cried, but I told him I needed to for my healing. I have his family, kids, and friends blocked and have been at peace since they always wanted to give me updates on him.
Yes that’s it you must starve them stay away
What about a parent that won’t call you, but complains that you need to call them more?
possibly
I was literally just saying that. I think it depends on the relationship. If the dynamic was toxic and most of other criteria are met I would say it might be yet another confirmation. Keeping in mind there are different types of narcissist.
Your Silence drives them Crasy, you know. That's the only Power you have against those malignant Ghosts.
Use the Force!
My brother whom I don’t hear from..
When I do call he says “you should call more often “…….
Sounds like my aunt who always texts me accused me in a rant that I rarely call her.
So accurate...My strategy with all identified narcs (mostly ex friends and coworkers and relatives) is low contact with emotional detachment. I don't contact them and if they do, I play my grey rocking role to perfection. Some are very pushy and nasty and have the audacity to call with false excuses, but grey rock is solid. I know they will always call, so I am waiting for the evil to strike again.
Bro, Im truly destroyed right now. You really help me through. Thank you to come forward. God bless!
Learning a lot from this channel, I wish I knew this when I was dealing with him. I did contact him in the past due to him going on the dating website and all that. I will never deal with him again!
You got it now
Yes I wish I discovered this channel too when I was dealing with my ex and now we have a child and I’m trying to keep it minimal to no contact because he only cares to really talk to his daughter if he has something to say to me smh 🤦🏾♀️
This is so funny and accurate. He unblocked me, sent a follow request, then unsent the requeat so that it showed up on my phone. Then, went and viewed my friends profile so she told me and i fell for it, i reached out to him. 😢😂
Hearing this explains a lot I’m a narcissist I do stuff like that all the time then upset myself when the person doesn’t reach out as bad as I may wanna talk I won’t initiate contact
Great clarification and this provides deeper understanding, thank you! Catch -22 for the narcissist. As long as a victim answers they are OK in their false self. In effect they are playing it safe with this move. Brave in their transgressions but cowardly in aftermath and accountability. If a valuable supply source becomes stronger and escapes they are the ones who lose in the battle between their own false self and true self. In effect they are playing it safe with this move. Stay in darkness versus let any light in through the cracks. I guess for most of them - its next candidate please ! The Iron Rule of dealing with narcissists - you know, you go. It's arrogance to think you can change them. Be humble, admit defeat early, lesson learned and move on.
I am dealing with this as an adult child for decades. I am just hearing the word narcissist and it sounds like my mom. I am a solo traveler, I travel safely and use caution, and I'm an introvert. My mom hates that I travel alone, she hates that I don't ask her for help. She threatened to cut me off if I travel out the country again alone. I was in a long distance relationship with a man in another country she accused him of being a SA trafficker, she said I will get my head chopped off, or end up in a ditch. There is absolutely nothing to back that up. My ex was a hard working man 14 hour shifts. She said All men lie, you don't know him, You always do this. I can't protect you if you travel, I'm protecting you. My mom is emotionally controlling. I have 'low contact' with her, but every time she acts like this I just want to walk away (I still love her). I'm 35 and I'm tired 😩😭
Thank you. He is refusing to do the house division fairly. We are older and he started with no assets. I gave so much, but now he doesn't even care if I end up affording a home to the value I started with. So he doesnt want to be shamed, and I dont blame him, but ripping people off is shameful.
Feeling your pain friend. I paid for my house lock stock and barrel; he took care of repairs and "improvements," many of which were done poorly or not finished. And he had the nerve to want a percentage of the house value for these so called improvements. It's going to cost more to fix and redo much of the work he'd done. Thankfully my lawyer has been very effective in getting this across to his lawyer and the judge.
@@debbiedegenhardt9287 Lucky you have a great lawyer. Thanks for your kind comment. ♥️
I ain't reaching out. He ain't reaching out. It's been over half a year lol that ship has sailed ⛵️
💪
Don't be so sure, they ALWAYS come back, sooner or later. You are their property, they just put you in the basement for the time being. One day they will want to play again with that old toy. It's a personality disorder, remember.
@@anacristinamoura881And is that how it goes? (From a personality disorder standpoint)
367 days free from my narc ex. Took a good 6-7 months maybe more to really break free after, and resist the reverse Hoover. She does still occasionally texts me, checking in or whatever. I answer very robotically now, and that seems to keep her away.
stay strong
I'm 11 months out. I had to call Saturday to make a report. All that evil and they still contact us. Crazy 😢 walking away feels great. Stay gone
Keep going & be careful! I'm proud of you!!
@@Lotus_LoveHER aw ty 💓 u too
Protect your peace
@@lizzyworld007 💜💪🏿
Much love to you for giving the absolute father of the language of narcissistic abuse a shout out. The GOAT. Doctor Professor Sam Vaknin 💜🙏
Everything he said is true about their mindset. I personally have being going through this replay years. Even though I cut ties every opportunity is the same thing over and over again.
So glad you cut ties. These folks are insane. God bless
Unsure, he actually blocked me across everything - and when I used a burner account he blocked that too. I took the hint. I got a permanent discard, which is a gift. (But damn it was painful.)

Amen! Let their pride anger resentment and shame swell inside. They will never ever ever change the mindset until they continue to be lonely. I should have known when I met mine he kept bringing up his ex he never talked to for 3 months then she reached out for “shampoo” she left… I was like WTF would someone reach out for shampoo!!!!
When I was first discarded I was confused about what was going on and I tried reaching out via text and a couple of phone calls and got no reply,apparently I was dead to her so I'll stay dead.Theres no way I'm reaching out again , and hope she doesn't either she's dead to me too😅
They also love the attention that comes with always reaching out to them...Once they've love bombed you several times, 1:04 1:04 1:04 they think its your turn to run after them
☹️☹️
Yep some one said to me it’s your turn to show me affection. like now the love bombing stops and it’s your turn to return the favor…. Im done with this game
@shanonstarr3852
I was never actually told that, but the vibe he was giving spoke louder than words, and I knew that's what was expected but what's funny is, even if I did just that, I knew he would reject any advances, because it's happened before, so I just stop caring..It truly is a game that gets played
@MentalHealness
It is what it is Lee...
God Bless you for taking your diagnosis and using it for good and helping others. This is super helpful, thank you 🙏🏾
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
How hard was it for you to start this journey? Obviously you’re self aware, but how hard was it in the beginning? You’re a strong brother; keep it up! 🗿
Good video. Needed to hear this. Was tricked into reaching out then got the silent treatment.
I know he's a narc and that's why I'm not doing it, if you're truly interested in a woman, you will do whatever it takes to show her that you care and put forth some effort in getting to know more about her. 🤷🏾♀️
😞
OMG! I'm screaming! The accuracy! He came and sat near me at an event and I was like, heck, may as well say hi (after MONTHS of no-contact)
I am not reaching out. I am done. I have decided to go to therapy. I want to figure out how I could think I loved him.
🙌🏾
That is one of the best things you can do for yourself. I did this as I knew that my mental wellbeing was on the verge of taking a negative turn. I specifically chose a therapist that understood NPD mentality - essential. So so thankful that I did. Wishing you the best ✨
🤣😭😭 I will never reach out first to someone who half loved me😂🤣😂 Even if I see you dying on the news. My pride and ego is my sin😂😂😂😂🤣
😂😂😅😅
I was confused bc I want people to reach out and to know that my relationships aren't one sided. But obviously it became clear that it was much more insane than that pretty fast lmao
My narc went out of his way to get my address. I set strong boundaries with this person years ago, mostly no contact, only visiting for 5 minutes when they were in the hospital. When I told them they were not allowed to my house, they replied, "Oh no! I'm not coming to you. You're going to come to me like you're supposed to because I haven't done anything wrong." Getting my address was another way to gain access. My boundaries are stronger now than before! You don't just have to protect yourself, but the people around you too.
Last yearI had no clue of the mental health of a narcissist. I've educated myself with learning more about the illness . I didn't know I was dating a narc. Thank you social media!!!! I am in a better place of freedom.
Thank you for doing this. I think I just realized a best friend of 30 years is a narcissist and knowing what might be going on is helping a lot. At least now I know where to go from here.
This is so crazy, because after he did so much to me and I decided to leave. I spoke to him again, and he said he sat and thought about all the things that I claim he did and realized that it had to be me just tryna make up stuff about him to hide the fact that I really left him to deal with other guys. There’s no other explanation. Yes it is!! Your abuse is the explanation lol
💯 they will go out of their way to rationalize their fuck ups blameshift and anything else they can come up with to avoid accountability
I think this is so true of anyone manipulative. I've had some people in my life who do this with partners etc. Sometimes they are better intentioned than narcisst but it's still a power play.
Narc neighbor *always* brings that up-that I should have told them they were trespassing on my property.I have several no trespassing signs on my property ,facing their property with no solid fence between.They NEVER take responsibility ,yet always play the blame game
I cut off everyone we were mutually connected to and I don't respond to his contact attempts.
🙏
Thanks for sharing your videos. My whole family of five are narcs. My twin brother & father have made attempts to hoover me back in! I'm so sick of their bs, I've been sick of these fools. I just keep sticking to my no contact rule! I've already accepted, & made peace with the fact that they're never going to change. The less I deal with them, the happier I am!
stay strong
Thanks for responding! I appreciate it. You take care also.
It is beyond the best way to deal with and beat these type of people. Once you’ve viewed these videos, studied, researched the whys, how’s and what’s and accessed your life and their motive….
don’t reach out!! don’t respond.
The only and very best way to handle a narcissist is to just delete their number change yours and really honestly forget he or she exist if you have kids, the kids are old enough to communicate.
If not, you still got one up on the narc, let her ask for your new info or get it from the kids but don’t let it off that you changed numbers in spite of her, don’t give her that power supply, just that you (forgot) to give it to her.
Then go grey rock, don’t feed into her argument about what you coulda shoulda done. Right there your in power now keep it!!
Lee, you are so helpful and such a blessing that you use your progress from NPD to help those of us enduring the cruelty of a narcissist. You wanted to change and that is so commendable! You have worked so hard to get where you are and deserve a healthy, happy life filled with love! I think you are a rare gem. And also thank you, thank you for encouraging us who get weak and miss the narcissist to continue NO contact. You are correct that that is just enabling the toxic behavior to continue. Im not waiting around to see if my husband reaches rock bottom. I pray God delivers him from this, but i dont have much hope. Meanwhile, your videos are helping me heal. Please continue your work! I really appreciate your videos!🎉🎉
This. And the narcissists i suffered through are strongly telepathic. Spiritual narcissists.
My narc client who is also schizophrenic,told me he calls in the demons.he was very hard to deal with. He drained me and I had to take 3 days to recover from an hour with him. I can sense him psychically blocked ng things I want in my life.geez this channel and some others are soooo helpful.
Oh my goodness with that spelling and grammer pls tell me u aren't an educated psychiatrist 😭
@@prussian5770oh wow. It's awful that there are evil beings in this world pretending to be human. 🤯
Yes!!! omg
Yes. I got a restraining order against a spiritual narcissist and when I ignored his attempts at third party contact he literally started showing up in me and my friends dreams!!! Too bad for him,he got rejected there too, lol
Thank you so much for sharing your experience on narcissism. It’s helped me immensely to understand my adult child and their lifelong narcissism.
You’re welcome
Oh lord, he called me a covert narcissist, and it really bothers me because he never let me talk or have a voice. I had to talk to someone about what i was experiencing. He would get mad I talked to others but wouldn't be able to deal with me talking to him. Every time i did, he would kick me out. Said i used him when i contributed financially to the relationship. He was gaslighting me really bad at the end because he knew i was looking for a place to get out. It's such a blessing to be discarded. Thank you lord. And thankfully hes to prideful to message me. Thats a blessing too. I know once I do better and start feeling better and stronger hes going to beg to come back because thats how it seems to go. I pray I have the smarts and my wits, I do not want to be sucked back in to that hell. 🙏
Man, you answer all my questions about my narcissistic ex's weird behavior. We work in the same building. He dumped me shortly after I pointed out that I didn't like the way he was treating me and our relationship. I was right, he cheated on me with several women while living in my apartment, and BEFORE moving in with me. It has been 3 months since he left me. Unfortunately, we work in the same building. At the beginning he was literally protected from me by his colleagues... the big, brave international soldier... But for a few days he started showing up around my desk and watching me from a distance. I didn't understand what he was doing. Thank you Lee, now I have learned something else about narcissists. But the most important of all: NO CONTACT.
Thank you so much for sharing Lee. It puts previous interactions into context.
You’re welcome
