    Yes
    I got married for the first time at 43 with the narc
    I said to myself “ well I guess this is what marriage is, I need to understand him”
    I’m now divorced after 15 years
    I’m free and happy because I
    Am now educated about narcissism
    Thank you!

    Showing love snd compassion to a narcisist is basically giving them a green light to take you down the road of psychotic abuse. They don't associate with with people with boundaries because they know they can't destroy them. They purposely seek out vulnerable empaths.

    It's really painful to realize that narcissists can't and won't change and will only get worse. Also realizing that the only thing you can do to save yourself is to get them out of your life, go no contact and move on. That was so hard for me. Took many tries but I finally went no contact. Best thing I ever did. They are still trying to hoover me back into their madness but I will continue to stand strong. I have had enough. No more.

      Same was so hard for me but I had to. I get hoovers too even though he moved on instantly and got her pregnant. Was so hard to ignore messages but he was evil.

      I want to do the same but I can’t, I introduced her to all my circle, friends and family. If I cut her off, she will try to confront me we all of them, and I’m not strong enough for that right now 😢

    You gotta separate yourself from narcissists or limit interactions as much as possible. Once they target you they will always find a way to undermine those boundaries.

    My spouse cannot handle finances. When I try to talk to him about saving money, paying bills he starts yelling and screaming at me. Last time was so bad I was shaking. I'm 64 and can't take this anymore. His lala land is everything will be fine even though he has almost no retirement. I should add after this one I can barely stand to look at him.

    This video is so spot on. Every single red flag is applicable to my mom. The out of portion punishment, the criticism, the arrogance, the projection onto other people.
    I needed this reminder of why I have no contact with my narcissistic mother. She reached out to me after 4 years of the silent treatment.
    I know in my heart that it has nothing to do with reconciliation with me but using me to “fix” her current situation. I am choosing not to go there literally. No letters, no phone calls etc. As you said this time of the year is hard. It would be even harder emotionally in the long term if I was to allow her back into my life. Thank you again for this timely reminder.

    Over a year since I went no contact , and if anyone out there is struggling post discard I just want them to know that although the road might feel endless you will reach your destination ! The narcissists thinks you will shrivel away to nothing without them , but it's actually the opposite that is true , you become a much stronger , defined and centred soul , who will be able to detect and avoid any new toxic or abusive entanglements moving forward xx

  • @SunnyBeetle1922
    @SunnyBeetle1922 Год назад +2

    Asking them to heal is basically asking them to take responsibility for their actions and behaviour. Narcissistic people can’t and won’t do this. They would have to do something about themselves and accept they are no one else’s responsibility.

    If you sense someone is narc you're probably right. Dont even bother with boundaries just avoid completely. Complete cut off is the only response to these evil things. They have no conscience no morals no values they live to use and abuse. Emotional financial and sexual.

  • @riverdonoghue9992
    @riverdonoghue9992 2 года назад +3

    One thing that is important to know is that the narc lives in a constant state of solitary confinement. There are no people in the narcs world only things to be used. The only thing that gives a narcs evil life meaning is abuse. Without it they are nothing.

  • @thebigh9635
    @thebigh9635 2 года назад +5

    It's not all loss when you walk away ! In a bid to impress me or make me feel LESS , over the years my narc had introduced me to lots of people and things I would never have known about , and in doing so had inadvertently broadened my horizons ! Although they thought they were the soul castonnian of many of these things , they weren't , and when I left I was able to keep the things I liked and integrate them into my new life , whist still discarding the bits I didn't like ! In a way it has been a bit like a small revenge for all the mind games and devaluing I had suffered at their hands !! They like to think they own the world , because they HAVE to be important , but they don't , they are small , deluded , empty dark damaged tiny souls !

    My God this is 💯 accurate. I was married to one for 17 years. Too much to go into but everything you have said is accurate. Hyper critical, no empathy, no mercy, total victim mentality, selfish to the point of destruction of anyone in her way no matter who they are, never ever admits wrong. Can’t believe I fell for it and put up with it for so long.

    Relationships with a narcissist are always transactionel. What you can do for me ,then I might do something for you.
    When you leave the relationship, they can’t believe it and will not accept it. It will be difficult because they are no. Longer in control. Also, there are different levels
    of narcissism, and the subtle forms are so much harder do deal with. You may not know you’re involved with one until your feeling really upset or repulsed by their behavior.

    Petra, you hit the nail on the head with this one. Wow. I clicked on this video on a whim and could not believe how accurate the message was. Wow. This resonated with me in soooo many ways. My brain automatically defaults to thinking, wanting, and expecting the best in people but have truly been disappointed time and time again from the same toxic patterns. You’re right, there are certainly patterns.

    The narcissist acts just as you describe. In addition, she also keeps the house dark by closing the curtains, blinds, and shades all the time. She sleeps with dark bedding and frequently wears sunglasses. Of course, I let the light in by opening the window coverings. They are really sick people, behaving much much like a virus, in that you don't know you've been infected until you start to suffer. However, use the useful knowledge you've gained from channels like this one to fight back.

    Dear Petra, I wrote to you two and a half years ago and thank you for your advice on some of my toxic sisters. 26 years ago I was married to a toxic ex-husband I left after 6 years of mental abuse, but I didn't realise then my friend of 26 years was just as toxic, we had a break from our friendship, 8 months later I let her back in so that way she couldn't say I didn't try, it only took just over 12 months to turn back into a narcissist, after her interrogating me over something that was none of her business, I rang her the next day and told her I had to be honest that I did not want her in my life anymore that it was no longer working for me then I blocked her from my phone, these people never change, I loved her at one stage, but in the end I love and respect myself more.

  • @cayennepepah
    @cayennepepah 9 месяцев назад

    🙋🏻‍♀️ I am here because I see the same patterns of befriending a narcissist in each stages of my school life up to adulthood. We always ended up falling out, and I never knew that they’re narcissist up until recently, I just thought they have similar behavior/personality that kept pulling me in.. during the early days they’d make me feel special, like I was their new precious friend who’s being let into their world. But the falling out starts when they don’t really listen to my stories but instead listen to reply/respond, they keep talking about their multiple love interests and being overly jealous over women who are close to them, they went bonkers whenever I don’t do their requests right away, point out their good and what they did for me, AND the turning point was always when they use my vulnerability to hurt me. I thought this was “a test” for me to overcome people who have similar traits, but apparently I am trapped in again and again to similar toxic people. No matter how hard I try I never could understand the selfishness and self-centeredness they posses, and now I know I don’t have to be friends with them anymore. Their lives aren’t mine and I am free to create boundaries.

  • @lisbethbird8268
    @lisbethbird8268 2 года назад +5

    Ha ha. I was thinking of a person who was constantly compelled to bring stress and irritation and pain. I thought, "She can't be peaceful or content, therefore needs to steal these feelings from me, by any means possible." Then you said the same thing. What's telling is she only pulls her games on those she thinks will put up with it. She was wrong about me in the end.
    I really appreciate your perspective. Thank you. Thank you. Happy full moon (eclipse) on this day. Thank you.

Thanks God I was discarded 10 months ago. I am very lucky to get rid of him. My six-year-old daughter and I live peacefully without his evil presence. I'm in low contact, because no contact seems impossible having one child in common. Thank you for your videos. Your voice is so soothing that it gives so much peace to my heart. Thank you!

    You have to find a way to love yourself. Just because a person cannot control their actions actions that you do not agree with does not mean that it’s OK for them to do so most of the time people know they’re doing bad and they know you’re going to forgive them, so they just do it anyway and then they tried to apologize after they get caught.

  • @annabelle8655

    It's all so extra toxic if this personality hides behind a spiritual mask. In my case: she is the one who is always profound, always does her inner work, so she's way ahead of every one else in the world. Literally says she's the only one so advanced on the entire planet.
    I was the one who could never measure up to her level, because perhaps I skip a few days doing her exercises, because I have a life and a family. So I was always made to feel inadequate or guilty and in need of her teachings. And I fell for it, for a long time because it was a mixed package of course. There were many positives. But, the minute I questioned any of her teachings she would become all nasty or give the silent treatment and I would back off. Finally, I had enough of walking on eggshells, of always being reprimanded or shouted at when I least expected it, said that to her face and wow, did she show her true colours.
    She's not interested in what she makes me or anyone else feel. She said I'm so 3D, so way behind her 5D-ness that I'm boring. That everything she does or says is to help me because she is ALWAYS profound. Except when she's having a rough time but that doesn't count.
    I'm the one who's absurd because of human or social things I take part in.
    In hindsight, it's painful, but I think I've processed most of the hurt and I now also see how comical it has all been. How twisted and upside down. The last comment I made to her was I thought it was funny she doubted sending me a certain message. I thought that was hilarious because everything had exploded when I said I was doubting and revising many of my beliefs including some of the things she had taught me.
    I guess that's another trait of a narcissist, absolutely lacking a sense of humour...?

I did/do quantum healing, i have watched 100's of videos. Do all the self - care. Reflection, meditating etc. Since finding out about narcissism, i have had more come out the woodwork and being tested on how much i have learnt. Its not you, its your programming. Many rabbit holes.
