    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.

    I think narcissists are attracted to strong people because they truly want someone of value, but then they get intimidated or afraid they dont deserve this person so they gotta weaken that strong person, or devalue the strong person because theyre competitive or jealous or whatever narc reason they might have.

      This vid was soooo enlightening. They all are but...I agree that you are onto something. They are drawn to strength. Repelled by accountability/boundaries and any sign of vulnerability.
      My situation was...typical but atypical.
      OK, so I loved a narcissist...or did he?
      His strength & masculinity were magnetic. I wanted to be near him because he was all man.
      He gravitated to me because...ok, so his love bombing was full of merriment because we were soooooo much alike. I sang the same song to him. He oozed with "OMG, you're exceptionally gorgeous". I randomly tossed in things like "boy...I forgot what I was bout to say, so cute it's distracting".
      He told me little things he liked, I made a couple of them show up at his door.
      One very simple gift, he called screaming "you love me! You love me! Thank you God, this woman loves me!". I said "of course I do".
      He said he loved my smile & I said "you'll always see it because you make me smile". He said I mentioned everything about him that he thought no one noticed but him. I told him that he admired everything about me that I wondered why nobody admired but me.
      We were in touch 24/7...slept on vid phon when we weren't together. He started to ask my opinion on business angles. He implemented several. I told him I was proud of him & he beamed. He told me I was brilliant & I should join him in business. I told him what a genius he was for thinking of it.
      His future faking ran deep...he sent a copy of his SS card, credit report, 2 bank statements, medical results. He said full transparency because "you're the one". I reciprocated (his credit score is much higher) because SURE. He text a pic of an elderly couple saying "this is us".
      Of course, he always mentioned this ex or that ex - & how they'd have never done/said/caught/envisioned...whatever he thought rendered me superior. He claimed that he blocked them all because they ended up being (human). I did the same with respect to him & my ex's - it was true, my ex's were inferior to him in many ways.
      I recognized immediately that he was very self-absorbed. I also noted the mention of several people in his past that he'd "cut off". He admitted to grudges. I told him of my laundry list of "axed, erased from my hard drive" & grudges.
      Sometimes it takes 1 to know 1. I saw myself in him sooooo he was easy to admire. He was strong, driven and smart. He never said so but I'm sure that's where his love bombing was rooted - he LOVES him & he constantly talked about how much we were alike.
      I LOVE me but he was (staging) wonderful. He said what I liked to hear. I did the same for him. So I didn't just blush & wait on his next...whatever. I had adoring statements for him. Technically, we love bombed one another.
      We'd have mild disagreements & those would slip into gaslighting sessions. Sometimes he'd nod & stop talking or I'd just say SURE. I think that was us seeing the other & considering he/she's not going to back down because I wouldn't vack down- just end the topic. Technically, we'd gaslight eachother.
      There was a mutual respect, kinda.
      What happened was he OVERESTIMATED my fondness. He disappeared for a weekend & when he reappeared nonchalant, there was nothing adoring about me. Why? He ignored my need to be adored. I had a meltdown...in summary, went full vulnerable. I was ANGRY as in "I let this man bring me to tears, he's just like everybody else,...". Of course HE never uttered remorse but when I said "I didn't know I picked you from the garden variety". He booo-hoo'd...guess he realized he wasn't perfect to me & any other any body was equal at that point. I was frazzled & hyperventilating...so I was nowhere near perfect to him. I was VULNERABLE- like every other woman. AND I couldn't have been very smart to "overreact" (his word) to him doing nothing.
      In about 44 minutes, I went from strength & perfection to weak & tragically flawed. Surely, he was thinking all the same things I was thinking. - we think a lot alike. If he admired feeding off my strength then he was weak if I was weak. I was gasping for air & he was literally shivering. People say NPD is all ego...what I saw in his eyes wasn't ego. It was pure disappointment - IN ME. I was rattling off disappointment but that didn't matter. He said little to nothing.
      The next day he said he didn't know how to process what happened and couldn't talk about it. He said I looked evil. I told him he was stone faced with tears flowing & that wasn't exactly processable either.
      Two days after that, he TEXTED that he really wanted to be with me & he'd never block me but I scared him.
      I texted a couple times after that. Nothing so I un-favorited his contact info.
      It was like a light switch. Madly in love to OFF.
      All of that said, counseling helped me to realize that I have MANY narcissistic tendencies but I am not a diagnosed narcissist. I share several of the narc needs & triggers. I've learned/been taught to navigate around several - consider others' opinions/needs/emotions. My ex is diagnosed with NPD - according to later medical discussions. It didn't scare me but that disappearance was my cue to dip - eventho we swapped a lot of protected personal info & eventho we were so much alike, I refuse to live like that. Goes back to me loving me BUT I made certain to enjoy him while he was enjoyable.
      The biggest difference between me having tendencies is that I wasn't telling lies - I sincerely apologized for my delivery (not for being mad) & I meant everything. He knew if he didn't discard me, he'd be discarded. It'd actually hurt me to discard - but I knew I had to do it and he wasn't going to let me have that control so he beat me to it. I wasn't a backbone & symphony of compliments if I had the audacity to confront him about anything that I perceived as imperfect.
      He, on the other hand, had a supply chain - per diagnosis protocol. I did not so I truly missed him. Still do because I have textbook human emotions. Him missing me (see supply chain statement) is a nonfactor IF he remembers my name.
      Strength. It was magnetic for him. Me, too, but for slightly different reasons. Vulnerability & being called out - accountability, they're ghost.

    Some narcissists are certainly attracted to people they consider strong. They also like to “humble” those people. I think it gives them a sense of control and makes them feel better about themselves. I would think that most of them would want someone that makes them look good, too. But then again, some of them may go for anyone that gives them attention, especially since they need external validation.

    I was stupid naive and dumb. I thought he liked me for me but he liked me because of what he could get out of me. And I gave it to him willingly. I told him what he wanted to hear. I lied to him. I told him I loved him even though I didn’t. I didn’t want to disappoint him and make him mad. I was scared. He saw that I was a bubbly girl and a people pleaser. He took advantage of that. I will always regret being in a relationship with him. He changed me forever. I thank God we didn’t get married. I didn’t know that someone would willingly want to take advantage of someone. Like why would you do that? I’ve isolated myself I don’t want to be vulnerable and get hurt again. I’m not a perfect person. I have many flaws, I thought he would help me with them, but instead I got really hurt and in the circle of people I know, I am known as a liar. I thought I was the narcissist, sometimes I still think I am. I’m not sure what to do. The best I can do is isolate my self so I don’t disappoint anyone else.

    • @KoreaMojo

      Could be a narcissist in a schizoid phase or just a mixture of healthy and unhealthy traits. If you can't afford therapy then look into actual psychology. Watch Sam Vaknin and he sites many books, authors and studies. Narcissistic people end up with narcissistic people. I never would lie to someone to not hurt them especially telling them I love them. But when I do love someone if they hurt me bad enough repeatedly I can become from frantic and obsessive to ice cold. I don't say hurtful things I regret but I basically read them for filth by laying out their issues that cause them to destruct in hopes they will stop being destructive to themselves and me. Then regret it because as I say anyone can see those things if they pay attention and they don't care. After being in a bad relationship and having parents with some stanking traits that I'm still enmeshed with, I find myself more upset, unable to tap into affective empathy, constantly thinking "well what about me" and I don't have much interest in others. I didn't used to be like that and I don't like it. However I feel it's the bad situations I keep being in and little respite I have. It's not like that with everyone even now I have one person I at least feel somewhat normal with. I'm going to get therapy once my money stabilizes again. We gotta be interested in ourselves and willing to sit in uncomfortable truths. Hope I offered something to you of use.

      Talking to friends or a counselor or yoga class will help when too you're ready...I just went through exactly what you wrote about. It's like living with a brick wall they don't have feeling and we're always wrong. Just blame us and start to make you think we're the crazy one, or narcissist! I'm on day 2 of not responding to texts or calls. I became addicted to the drama and his validation, yet extreme cruelness too. Like a yo-yo and it is like any drug. Sobriety is something we all strive for and leaving the narcissist is like quitting drinking! Freeing! And they hate being ignored too so it is the best strategy too. We deserve kindness and real love and it starts with ourselves! All the best to you, thanks for leaving the comment so others know we're not alone.

    Once dr Ramani said that acting unavailable attracts narcissists and it didn't make sense to me at first but now it does. Narcissists like challenge. Normal people respect your boundaries. I had very strong boundaries and all guys pursuing me were more or less narcissistic and with sense of grandiosity in them. "Regular" guys were probably intimidated by me and my boundaries.

    According to Sam Vaknin, anyone who can supply 2 out of the 4 's' (sex, supply. services, safety) qualifies as a potential intimate partner, friend etc. That's all it comes down to. It's all about what you can offer them, the rest is irrelevant.

    What about when it comes to narcissistic customers?
    As a retail worker i deal with them a lot,
    most are just nice enough to get their things and go home.
    But I'm not usually the type to react as intended to something said to me.
    But as of late there's a random customer, But they give me weird brief stares whenever they see me. Last night while I'm on the smaller self checkout. I see him kind of circling where I am just looking at me randomly.
    It started when I simply asked them as they were at self checkout, if they'd give 5 stars as my job makes all do and they passively went off on me. I don't think I gave them the reaction they wanted from that and i used another customer's emergency to disengage midberatement. So been since then they have this evil eye out for me.
    I told managers about it, what else could I do? When I see them look at me I look back, just kind of making them aware I'd seen them i guess.
    Just a really odd thing.
    I don't think they'll do anything physical cause they usually come in with a small family.

    I think this makes sense to me. My nex was Miss Popular, tons of followers online, surrounded by a bunch of yes-men and yes-women. I feel like I was one of the few people in her circle that would actually tell her when she was heading down the wrong path and about to F up. She didn't like being told she was wrong, but eventually would come to me for advice on her life and career. There were other guys in her life who probably had a lot more going for them but she chose me for some reason

      I can relate. My nex is a full-time bartender; extroverted, very charming, had a seemingly decent sized social circle. Meanwhile I'm reserved, more of a homebody, and I don't really drink anymore (he's a heavy drinker).
      After the discard, he told me the only reason he pursued me is because I'm attractive. Considering the nature of his job and the fact that I live in the next city over from him, couldn't he have found someone else? Why go to all of that effort to pursue me in particular? I even pushed him away a couple of times during the talking stage because I knew we weren't very compatible. So many unanswered questions.

    They are always together. Now I realize it’s because they have a shallow relationship with no boundaries and he said he thinks she’s confident and strong. She’s a hardcore lesbian so he doesn’t date her but he spends a lot of time with her during work and these are the reasons why.

She is a highly sexual person. She would push me away so they could hook up and then i would fall for the trap and get sucked back in. This absolutely crushed my soul..two people who i had soooo much love for absolutely turned against me. I feel as though she was out to get me from the start…

    I think sometimes I’ve looked like a strong person, that may have being going through losses. But then I have insidious boundaries. What I mean by that is that I may not confront a narcissist head on. But I frustrate the Hell out of them, because they’re not getting anywhere with me. Like a soft, but absolutely firm NO.
    I think I look different, not because I’ve treated narcissistic relationships like a revolving door. But because I’ve actually aged, while going no contact. Time has passed. If anyone has ever gone no contact, but is had legal issues, like probate or divorce, where the court is also willfully ignorant, in seeing the narcissist for what they are, it can drag through your life, for quite some time. You don’t take care of yourself the way you hoped. You don’t pursue the things you hoped. If the narcissist has violent tendencies, the trepidation has negatively affected you. You’re not as happy and jovial as you once may have been. You may also look older and more tired, because you actually are and, when people look at you, they may pick up on your skepticism about meeting or trusting people.
    I still pull it together, when I need to, like for court. I even feel empathy for my narcissistic sister. But it does not stop me from handling business. Still, the constant churn, just to get rid of her…
