  • Robert Greens: The Unconventional Technique to Detect and Deal with a Deep Narcissist
    “Normally we think of narcissist as someone who loves themselves and am actually saying a narcissist is a person who doesn’t love themselves sufficiently. A deep narcissist lacks the ability to love themselves”
    In order to get through life, we have to have a degree of self-esteem; we have to have a sense of inner worth. If we don’t have a bedrock from within we constantly need attention and validation from other people.
    DEEP NARCISSIST CHILDHOOD
    1. A parent neglects them or is abusive, and the love and affection that they expect is actually the opposite. So they are not able to develop that self that is able to love because they feel like they actually hate themselves
    2. The parent overwhelms them with attention and suffocates them to the point where they are not able to develop an independent self.
    Either way that self-image that we come to love is aborted, it doesn’t grow. So, when a child grows to 5 or 6 years old in those moments of pain when they are not getting the love they need, instead of turning inwards they have to turn outwards, they have to become a performer, they have to act out to get attention and sometimes that drama is very entertaining but it can come from inner emptiness.
    DEALING WITH A DEEP NARCISSIST
    “The worst thing you can do is to take everything personally and get emotional. A deep Narcissist power is in grabbing your emotions and entangling you in their drama. They are better at it so winning is next to impossible when playing to their strength. So, you have to learn in general in life to stop taking so emotionally.”
    CUT THEM TO SIZE: “Don’t fall for the myth, see them as a human being with temper tantrums, with issues, with emotional baggage etc. when you fall for the myth when you start thinking that they are greater than they're. when you start trembling from fear you’re in their grasp. But when your calm you see them as a baby throwing temper tantrums or whatever it is you’ve got some control and you have options.”
    The number one strategic principle that is the most important of all is “The person who has more options is the one who will win in a competitive situation”
    if you only have one option you’re generally under the control of your opponent, but if you create a situation where can move to different positions that means you can react in the moment and you can take the path that might be the best for that situation.
    You always want options, and when you get emotional, when you react, when you get caught in their drama, you have only one option “ANGER”. You’ve already lost.
    When you're calm you can not say anything, you can quit, you can choose. You’re in control and the deep narcissist is not in control because you have options.

      I think survivors of relationships with narcissistic personality disorders eventually resign to a deep understanding of “choosing battles”… some bridges will never be rebuilt, some roads will never be paved, and certain oceans are best left uncrossed.
      It’s like choosing to not touch a red hot burner- despite our hearts desire, we must neglect our instinct, use our head and leave some imminent dangers the EFF alone.
      I often think when leaving a relationship like that (I have been a magnet for these dark entities as long as I’ve been alive) if it’s today or thirty years from now…. My will to survive will one day win out over my (programmed?) masochistic tendencies.
      As you say, it’s FUTILE-- I wouldn’t entertain the prospect of entering the Olympics in downhill skiing if I’ve not the time, talent or tools to do so.
      As you say…. We don’t ever even make a dent.

    A narcissist is somebody who is insecure to the max! Most of time they have an inner voice that tells them they are worth nothing, no matter how good they are in something or how well they do in life! They are continuously in conflict with themselves and act this out to others. The more they resist, the worse it become! They have to accept the voice inside and actually make fun of it, so they can control it, because it will never go away!

    I had a manager like this, she was a complete narcissist. She belittled and berated until I put her in her place once. But it's unfair that she is allowed to get away with it. After 5 years I quit. I lasted 5 years because I took your advice. Quitting was the best thing I did, for my self, but I feel sorry for those I left behind. You always have to weigh the situation. It's probably best to leave right from the get go. In the future I will give my boss 3 chances, I quit on the 4th because life is too short.

Vesudes, he was hell vent on destroying that upward mobility path of mine and was DETERMINED to destroy mine and would not quit.

      ​@@atis9061It's absolutely NOT out of deep need for recognition. It's for respect, which every human deserves from the beginning. We teach people how to treat us, but the TRUE narcissist doesn't play the same fair game. When you actually confront them, and enlighten them to the maltreatment, you must do so with great composure, and do not get down on their level with high emotions.
      The following days will be the true test of just how susceptible they are to constructive criticism, as well as whether you can allow them to be a part of your existence. A true narcissist should only be given ONE chance, because they don't change, nor do they deserve further opportunities to feed on the wise and innocent.

    Having a psychotic boss harassing you is difficult to not take personally. Bc the constant stress & chaos they bring into your life effects your mental wellbeing, they can lie & say you’re not performing well & no matter what u do isn’t enough. And eventually this can negatively effect your finances.
    Psycho bosses can effect you getting other work, bc maybe u had to leave abruptly or they blacklist you (this truly happens, more often than ppl think!). All of this can potentially cause housing insecurity ( which can lead to many psychological issues), physical illness, etc… so no matter how much of a self aware person you are & KNOW the psycho boss is projecting their personal trauma onto you, doesn’t mean they can’t or won’t destroy your life. How on earth can you not take that personally?? So, I don’t agree with Greene on that particular point.

    When you described the deep narcissist backgrounds, the first one was me. In fact, I could identify a lot with the aspects of a narcissist you mentioned. I've been seeking ways to break those traits. Maybe I'm wrong, but I consider that these behaviors began as some sort of means to survive in what probably felt like a hostile environment to me but I certainly didn't have the words to express that. What I want to do is reprogram my brain. I'm trying to do it but I honestly don't know what I'm doing. I'm researching and have a great therapist. I'm doing my best to apply what I learn to reprogramming my brain to match my ideal of just being a human being, having contentment with that and just doing what good I can for the sake of others and be content with where I'm at in the moment.

Try to listen to yourself Monitor yourself. When you get feelings of hate of jealousy, recognize it. Ask yourself of why you got these and tell yourself why it is wrong in that case and what positive things you can make of it instead! When a inner voice is telling you you are worthless when you really know you are not, ridicule it! It takes a while (different for everybody, but it works more and more to get a healthy way of dealing with it and be more positive to others, but also to yourself! I hope I gave you something to that can work for you! When there ever would be a right time to say to somebody that it is great what you do allready, then this is such a moment!

He would treat someone like an enemy, so vindictive. I still sometimes just wonder how is this guy going to deal with life if he can't handle not being liked by some people? Hopefully I've learned how to spot narcissists because in general I really actually like people and want to see people do well.

    This makes me tearful because, I am in a probate war, with my younger sister. I’ve tried to veer from labeling her a narcissist, like our mother was, but it’s become unavoidable. She is waving VERRRY BIG FLAGS.
    But, it makes me tearful because, as I am the oldest and her half sister and even though I was not a very supportive older sister when I was young, I know some things about her life and I know her calloused attacks at me are as a result of what has happened in her life.
    Neophytes would say I should do the best I can to help her. But, I’ve suffered too much, being the golden child, converted to the scapegoat role and I’m in my late 50s. If my sister’s fear was just of me, I don’t know. Maybe there’d be a chance. But, her fear is of herself and her own life and the rest of the world. I cannot fix those things, with us now both being in our 50s.
    But, I do see the child in her, like I would any child, that is born and hopes to be loved and successful. But, goes through life, with one loss after another, just hitting them and them never being able to figure out how to right themselves, in an increasingly competitive and uncaring world. It is painful to watch.

I'm not making this up. At the beginning I felt sorry for her because she was also complaining about her life how poor she is etc... It didn't take long for me to notice how happy she is when bad things happened to me, basically those were the only times she 'lit up'... She was incredibly negative, full of envy, even towards her own daughters. Every times when I tried to make her feel better I felt totally drained. I realised the only thing I can do with her is just to ignore her.

    A very good video, but what I would say is that there is also a genetic component to narcissism. These personality traits are definitely passed down through the generations. My sister and I were bought up by two loving parents, I’m an empath and my sister is narcissistic. My sister was always difficult from a baby upwards. I have aunts that also have this trait also, as well as some very empathic relatives. Its the luck of the draw which genetics you receive and of course what sort of childhood you have can magnify these traits.

    Not ok to say all of us have narcissism. All of us may have selfishness.
    Narcissism comes with compulsive manipulation.
    Just because a person becomes a better version of himself doesn't mean he cured his narcissism. He probably had the ability to improve, but not the motivation.
    Narcissists don't improve when they have the opportunity. They learn better ways to manipulate.

    Narcissists: by definition this means someone who is in love with oneself. An out of reality environment is the perfect peasantry ground of raising a narcissist. This together with constant “all praises to Jesus and Jesus himself” crowd of parrots makes this worst. Now what is the difference between “self-confidence” and a narcissist is the BIG question. Therefore, never mind in which axis of the line you fall because at the end we all live in our own paradise. Until that is turned into a hell.

    Woah so-creating a great work of art is out of narcissism? I think it is out of a healthy desire to express yourself, and that is not hurting anyone. Asking people to stop expressing themselves, or being emotional, doesn’t sound healthy to me. Some people are built that way, built to express themselves . It’s when you make blanket statements and leave out stuff like that , that your advice seems one-dimensional. Being emotional is being human, idk if practicing ‘not being emotional’ is the best advice.

      Which is about control and maintaining a “false self”
      It’s not really a love of self-but a twisted form of protecting a persona at all costs.
