Great video, thank you. The person in my personal experience has now been diagnosed as grandiose delusional schizophrenic. When I found out about narcissism and disassociation and read about DID, I was able to see 5/6 different ‘versions’ of him, and it was like one of them just ‘wasn’t there’, he would leave the job on and take the kettle off and go out. I do still feel for him, but so thankful that I found out about it all so early on in our sons life and escaped. Praise God I saved my son from it 🙏🏼
*your favorite psychology professor* you certainly are. You've taught me so much and I've been binge watching your videos which have helped me tremendously to connect the dots and understand what i went through. Thank you
Thank you for this video. I am noticing that he’s been discarding all his new supplies and gone very silent. This has helped me understand what’s going on.
You know this is absolutely mind bending yet strangely enough makes perfect sense to me and I cannot determine if I am psychotic enough to understand this or if Mr. Vaknin is just staggeringly brilliant I will hereby deny the first hypothesis and go with the second one LOL 😂 Excellent video sir !
In the childrens book Wind in the Willows...is Toad of Toad Hall a grandiose narssicist? Who later when very depressed "flat toad" is a collapsed narssicist then again becomes grandiose?
Planning out loud about once a month how he is going to commit suicide. Then after we listen to his excuses which include blaming us for not needing him, the plan goes away for a month.
Oh my god. My narcissist is isolated. In the past three years hes been diagnosed beyond his npd as schizotypal, paranoid and antisocial. He believes he is here to fight for the world and is god like. He believes he is the smartest man around. He thinks his entire family is conspiring against him and believes his phone is hacked and that Trump is president still and he is here to go to war. He burned down the garage at his mother's house out of spite. He is unemployed, on drugs, and isolated. And everything you say is true. I'm in no contact with him. Radio silence. He was furiously angry with me and accused me of out of this world things. And now nothing. He doesn't speak to anyone. After his arson incident, I question if I am safe? At this point he seems so indifferent I hope he lacks energy or care for retaliation.
I know you mainly refer to DSM-V in your videos, but I wonder if you have heard that in the upcoming ICD-11 (used in Europe) they plan on eliminating separate diagnoses for personality disorders? There will be just one diagnosis of personality disorder. The clinician will be able to add a 'prominent personality trait' specifier, e.g. detachment, dissociality, anankastia, etc.

Eternal victimhood is as abusive as abuse. 💎
Me too! It’s ridiculous

I thought of a good before-and-after puzzle for Wheel Of Fortune: NARCISSISTIC SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Dr Vaknin. Can you make a video of narcissists on their “death bed?”

I wish Mr. Vaknin would answer this.
A narcissistic ex from 20 years ago used to quote Toad. Guess the ex- resonated with the character.

I mention ICD-11 in several of my videos. I suggested this very thing in 1995 samvak.tripod.com/narcissismdisorders.html
That’s excellent progress.
Cant pets offer some supply??
Yes.
I want to know, what proportion of people are a couple f standard deviations from “normal”? My experience says it is staggeringly high !
