      My ex husband left NO option for me to disagree with him. Even the most harmless or mundane topic--say vanilla vs chocolate, for example-no matter what it was, you HAD to agree with him!! If you tried to disagree, no matter how tactfully, he’d spend hours, if necessary, trying to convince you how HE is right & YOU are wrong!

    one HUGE indicator is if they WALK AWAY from you. So, let's say you are in a restaurant or at a park, and you are heading out the door or walking on a path and they WALK AHEAD OF YOU, they leave you behind and walk way way ahead of you. Please get in your car or have them take you home. It's a humiliation tactic. Get away...Ladies, especially YOU. He isn't stronger, he doesn't have longer legs, he's testing to see if you will pick up the breadcrumbs...get in YOUR car, block his number and drive AWAY. Please...for the love of God.

    There are many different signs. These include spending time on phone that was not spent previously, withholding sex from you, withdrawing in communication with you, agitation or anger over Petty stuff or making up situations to get angry or agitated over, lying, being secretive in any way, randomly spending more time caring for and pampering oneself such as putting on makeup or wearing cologne or coloring hair etc. Any type of changed behavior that is not aimed at pleasing or benefiting your relationship. With all of that though, follow your gut. your gut is telling you that something isn't right and it's telling you that this could or is happening, therefore listen to it. Just Free yourself from all of it! Run and don't look back. Go 100% no contact. The mental and emotional abuse is not okay at all! Do not bring anything up to her. Don't try to rationalize or have a conversation about anything. Don't let her know that you know she's in narcissist. All of that can cause a narcissistic rage. If you have not yet witnessed one of those just trust me that you don't want to! A narcissistic rage is beyond any rage I have ever seen or witnessed in my entire life. I am an army combat veteran and served front lines for a year and afghanistan. I have abuse going back from as long as I can remember, the first time in my personal memory is 2 years old. With everything I have been involved in, and my rape, other sexual abuse, their physical abuse, etc in narcissistic rage is by far the worst! If you need to contact your local police department and start a new contact order. No one can protect you like you can! free yourself from it all and move forward in your life. The minute you run and go no contact is the minute your life begins again. If need be seek out professional help. Therapy is the best thing I did for myself. The best gift I gave to me! The abuse is so deep and overwhelming that having a professional guide you through the steps of the healing process is extremely beneficial! Just remember, there is great strength in asking for help. There is great lack and strength or no strength at all in putting on a mask and hiding behind the opinions of society and pretending that you are okay! As human beings we all witness A Time In our lives where we are not okay! Those that heal, move past, and move forward, and have a brighter future are those who ask for help and do the work that is needed through the help! I'm so sorry you are going through this and I wish you the very best! Good luck! Always remember that you are stronger than you believe you are, you are worthy and deserving of better and always, and you are enough just the way you are and who you are today! Take this time for you! Get yourself again. Fix that meal that you're all time favorite, rent that movie you've been wanting to see, have a guys night out with your best friends, remodel a room in your home, go purchase that item you've been wanting to for so long, just do for yourself! Self-acceptance, self-love, and being able to forgive yourself is far more important than what anyone else can give to you! Believe in who you are! You deserve nothing less than that! You're not alone! Feel free to tag me in any other questions that you have! I'll help if I can. Additionally you can hire a cyber expert to help you get remote access to their phone so you can track them and monitor all of their activities without them knowing.

    Exactly! My ex narc made me believe my family was racist against him so that I wouldn't see them anymore, he criticized things I liked to eat so that I wouldn't eat it. He told me my friends talked behind my back to him, he said my kids were embarrassed of me. He said his ex was crazy and that he always gets used by women. He said he had brain cancer which he does not. He repeats the same stories and scenarios over and over. He accused me of cheating all the time. I never got his validation or approval. He always complimented my coworkers and friends and only criticized me. He always speaks positive about himself and his appearance and constantly asks for validation. He showers me with material things in order to make me believe he loves me. I am permanently scared but grateful that I have time left to enjoy life without abuse

So we are marginals in all of the meanings... Finding ourselves facing the first time in our lives truth, admitting to ourselves what is really happening or what we are facing hard... And self awareness is a North star that many of us unable to follow, and we have no right forcefully to drag others to this path. The start might be very lonely....

    What I have experienced how to tell if a person is a narcissist:
    1) Blame their ex past relationships.(Plays victim card)
    2) The person asks about how much you make and how much you do when you meet them.
    3) The person begins to give you excessive attention and gifts.
    4) the person talks to people as If they've known them for ages(to a new person)
    5) the person has more than two divorces.

      @@catbee1452 That's just not right. My dad treated my mother like a poorly treated employee instead of a partner. When things didn't measure up to his self-centered expectations, he would come whining to us kids about how he should expect more out of her because He worked 10-11 hour days and half days on Saturdays (and, this was far from the worst way he triangulated us against her).
      She was a homemaker for him most of her adult life mainly because he broke her self- worth so badly that she couldn't do anything except for what he wanted. And she did a lot all while dealing with the severe psychological problems that resulted from his abuse. She cooked, cleaned, shopped for everyone's groceries and other needs, mailed out all the bills and Christmas cards, raised us kids, drove us kids around where we needed to go, went to all our parent-teacher conferences - basically anything he could get away with pawning off onto her he did. She even told me that he wouldn't help take care of us after she'd just given birth to us. WTH!😡
      He'd expect some really stupid stuff from her sometimes. Like, she always had to make his lunch every single morning even if it meant getting up at 4am. Making it for him the night before wasn't good enough. True, she'd put off things like laundry and keeping the kitchen clean until it was just gross. But, it was partially due to depression and mostly to do with getting back at him. The rest of the house was usually pretty clean and uncluttered. And, she did just about everything else he wanted.
      What really ticks me off was that shortly after she passed away, my dad admitted to me that he really didn't have to work all that overtime. He just did. And, yet he used it as an excuse to play the martyr. 🤔.

    A healthy relationship doesn’t make you feel like a failure. Narcs are broken, irreparable products.

We end up exhausted and drained from our futile attempts and in pain from injuries inflicted by the malfunctioning merchandise.

Such adults were child victims, who were forced into becoming magnets for narcissists totally against their will. The info for adults obviously needs to be modified into the viewpoint of children trapped by one or two narcissistic parents, who cannot escape from their monstrous parents for many years until the child reaches adulthood.

    in addition to the video which serves as a great guideline to detect toxic people.
    here's 4 questions i have used in the past as 💩- tests, when you are unsure about someone who is currently involved in your life.
    assuming you are treating said person in good faith, the way you would want to be treated:
    1) what value do you bring to my life?
    2) if the situation was reversed, would you do as much if not even half for me, of what i have done and/or would do for you?
    3) if i stayed to myself, what would i miss about you?
    4) how do i feel when i am around you. do you make my life better or worse?
    if you have to ask any or all of the questions to yourself about the person in question, that's a red flag.
    if you ask them out loud to the other person, get ready to say goodbye. red flags never turn green.

    • @Hawaiiansky11
      @Hawaiiansky11 20 дней назад

      True. I don't buy this for one reason; my friend is dealing with his brother, who is an angry, vile, spiteful narcissistic a-hole. Not diagnosed, mind you, but just cold hearted as could be, especially after their parents died. It was like a dam had broken, so now narcissist T could work on destroying my friend B without the "blockers" in his way.
      B describes their upbringing as just shy of idyllic, two loving parents who loved one another (I've read his mother's journals; she was in love with their father in a way most of us only dream of), farm life in a small town community, 4-H, all the stuff you drive past and long for.
      Besides the fact that narcissists lie their arses off about their 'sad pasts' - my malignant mother figure used to claim that my father broke her arm, only to sit back smugly some 40 years later when my father told the truth - that she broke her own arm by being a snot and slipping on some ice.
      So I don't buy the line that "Woe is me! My childhood was bad! So now I can't help but to brutalize my family, use my friends and claim victimhood after I'm caught!"
      Intact male bovine excrement.

    They also love painting themselves as the hero or savior in tales they tell. For example, they'll say that they had a dream about you where you were in danger and they were there to save you, before anything bad happened.

I don’t think I’ve realized how much of these things I live with…and I’m not sure every single one of these qualities is his but man, there are so many that are. It’s hard when you see the good in them too. It’s hard when you know their trauma and wish for their healing. And even harder when you draw boundaries and they do not care, they blow thru them, and they refuse to leave, refuse to go, when you have had enough…it feels like being so stuck when they refuse to go and then pledge n start pouring out love love love love love and try hard, try meds, try therapy etc…idk, it’s just tumultuous and chaotic, and gets a little hopeless when you think, wow, why can’t you just make life nice. I’m easy and you are so very hard, for no good reason I can see at all. Idk sorry to rant lol but this channel is loaded with so much reality that it’s kinda overwhelming to start realizing some things a little better.

      the worst part of her meddling is that she caused me to believe as a teen that a good man who treated me decent was bad, and that horrible man-children who treated me horribly were good.
      I'm convinced now that she was determined to keep me from loving anyone and keep anyone from loving or validating me. They despise love....just like the lord of the underworld. Coincidence?? I think not.

      I'm sorry you have to go through that. That's so terrible 😞😞😞.
      Narcs only provide "help" if it makes them feel powerful or superior. If you aren't doing "poorly" enough in life to suit their ego or -heaven forbid - you are looking for assistance to better your life ( even if you try to strike a deal that will benefit them) - why, you are just a "low life garbage human" who "doesn't deserve any assistance from them whatsoever." In fact, no matter how good a person you are, in their eyes you are a piece of vermin that isn't even deserving of their presence.
      I have a couple of relatives that are like that. If I need or want something,(at best) I'll get treated like that's all I ever contact them for even though that couldn't be farther from the truth. Most of the visits between us were orchestrated by me. And, I have to practically chase them down to get them to share holidays with me like I'm this piece of trash they prefer not to have around. And, I'm super nice - much nicer than they will ever deserve. At worst, they will treat me like a manipulative bully who wants too much ( I'm not). Or, they will find some other demeaning and B.S. excuse.
      But, when it comes to their garbage pail friends, It's a whole different story. They will bend over backwards and turn cartwheels for people who are two-faced, gossipy, manipulative,abuse their kids and partners and always have their hand out. When I point out that these people are abusive even when these creeps clearly mistreat me in front of them, my narc relatives just gaslight me into feeling like It Isn't happening or I am overreacting.
      People who would rather see you hurting than happy and who value those who love evil over those who love good aren't worth your spit. They are enemies of God. They are the sort of people that the Bible refers to as dross and chaff and belonging in the garbage heap of the universe. And, unless they can and choose to sincerely repent and follow the right path, that's where they will stay.

    I’m trying to figure out who’s the narcissist in my relationship. We are 6 years deep and I can relay with a lot of Narcissistic behavior BUT also the abuse…
    I found out that I DO feel like a lot is NOT my fault… and if it is it’s never the intention to isolate her. But ever since we go together, she became mentally ill and stopped working for the last 4 years.
    I work my ass off and I don’t get much back, besides her trying to ‘love’ me with presents, hugs and kisses… It’s sweet but all I want is her to get better!
    I get angry when she goes out with her friends. She doesn’t work… cause working is too much… but going out ain’t even if it’s not even her money.
    Now I heard someone say that a Narcissist won’t leave unless they need to get rid off you..
    Don’t get me wrong… but her not working and only being able to do what she wants, when she wants, broke something in me… especially since I’m not allowed to point this out cause she’ll be offended and hurt.
    I recently met someone else that made my heart explode and I realized if I chose to leave my gf, she would have nothing left. Everything is on my name… the house, the dog… I can’t take that away from her too.
    I find myself losing my shit everyday now. I even told my gf about my heart cheating… For the record I didn’t cheat… yet… but I learned better not to be that honest anymore cause she’ll use it against me.
    I guess the Narcissistic f*ck in me decided to take my stuff and sleep at my parents for a while.. is this me getting rid of her?
