      This is their favorite game where they TRY to gain control through ugly ways like blocking. Generally putting someone lower to feel better. pathetic, what a parasite you have to be to like such tricks. Their lives must be really miserable if they want to play like this. It's like they're screaming to stay in your head for a while because They know you'll forget about them quickly after their shits ,,love" show. WE DESERVE constant, devoted love and let fools find their equals.

    Yup, she blocked me on the morning of my birthday over something so minor...at age 43?! I ignored her block and carried on with my birthday weekend... she then unblocked me two days later and asked to speak.. I gave her the opportunity.. first thing she said? "I love you"... funny kind of love they have... chaos and drama, that's exactly what I said being with her is like... removed myself..*again :( )

    Yes you're supposeded to completely forget what this issue was that caused the behaviour, usually that you quite innocently exposed their lies, not even consciously, just by accident. They over react and block you, go into fake moral indignation. Then days later they unblock you and act like nothing happened. They need time to work out a story that you were totally wrong, and they were totally right to react as they did. They expect you to forget it, and carry on as normal. All the time they've been working behind the scenes putting fires out with their other supply, and hoping that you'll be grateful to hear from them and forget what you caught them out doing, that you inadvertently exposed their lies.

    This video was perfect timing! This just happened with me for a 3rd time with a Narc that's been back in my life for 2 yrs! He discarded me a year ago. Blocked me & then unblocked me 2 months ago. I fell for the...oh I missed you...I was wrong...etc...etc..We texted & seen each other for 1 month & then few weeks ago I went to his house. We had a great time! We hugged & kissed goodbye. He promised to text. 1 day...no text...2 days...no text. 3rd day I try texting...no response. Then I call...I'm blocked! I jump on messenger.. he quickly jumps on & blocks! The wind was knocked out of my sails! I couldn't understand what I did? I now know I did NOTHING!!! He wants the attn the chase because that's what I've done in the past! Guess what I blocked him on FB because he admitted to me he watches ALL his exes profiles...red flag! Now he can't see ME! He had just blocked messenger, not profile. Then I blocked on phone. Is it hard not to unblock...of course. I loved the guy but talk about an emotional roller coaster! Plus I told him when I let him back in if he hurt me I would block him & never go back & he said ok. I'm sure he's thinking...yeah right. But maybe since i actually blocked him on FB he knows I'm serious! Thank you for the info.

    I have a friend who is a ( female golden child narc ) she doesn't block but has told me 100x how she has a degree in " Ignoring" people, did it to me for over a year after a misunderstanding, and I sat and watched as she sat back refusing to talk to me until I called & literally begged her to talk, apologizing & pleading for her to talk to me, and to this day, she has never meantioned what happened and says "I'm not ever apologizing for something I didnt do" but if we never discuss what happened how do you even know what the issue ever was? And I think more angry at myself at this point for allowing the manipulation to happen and being afraid to even address it because I know shes gonna get upset, say I'm accusing her of something shesnot doing and go silent until I apologize...Ive known her for over 20 yrs and it's getting so frustrating dealing with not being able to say anything or risk the friendship...I really need a way out of this! This is not the kind of friends I need in my life

    the narc wouldn't block or unblock me; what he would do is that right before discarding me- or if I had brought up something in our relationship that had been bothering me- what he would do, is clear our conversation history.
    This was a huge red flag for me- I didn't recognize it the first time he did it- but after the second time, I started thinking, "okay, this guy has most definitely had a bunch of other relationships, because he's absolutely paranoid about covering his tracks ANYTIME there's a conflict.

  • @Cellia836

    Yes I have seen this several times with mine. He would come back and say how sorry he is and then five minutes later... we would be fighting again over everything. He acted like nothing ever happened at all and he always refuses to talk about any past issues at all too. I looked through my past emails between us and I see the patterns you're talking about Ben. It's crazy and so unhealthy too. His moods shift like the wind all the time and he's always hot and then cold with him. I am up to 82 days of no contact right now and trying to beat my record of 128 days of no contact with him. He drove me crazy and I am sick of the fighting and the games anymore. Sometimes, I feel like I'm playing a game too, by ignoring him too though. He is currently giving me the silent treatment again and he's been silent with me now since this past January and I don't even know what I did wrong this time at all? I'm not going to bother reaching out anymore. What's the point? It's not like it will solve anything if I do. It will only just piss me off probably. Life has been good to me lately. Why ruin it?

      I know! When they ghost you long enough, it’s enough for you to forget about them so long as you don’t feel sorry for them. Feel sorry for yourself! Their disrespecting you and you allowing it is like you disrespecting you. I would never burn my own hand, over the stove. Why should I let him? Insanity! Never feel sorry for them! Or, “ love them from a distance. “

    MY ex narc has been getting Karma dished to him left and right this year. GF he discarded me for broke up with him, lost his job, court cases not going his way, I won't let him control me, was hit with back child support for 6 years, and a week long stent in the hospital. Am I really not allowed to gloat a bit when I see him for child exchanges? Everything I karmicly blocked in his life has caught up to him all within a few months

  • @cherrybacon3319
    @cherrybacon3319 Год назад +2

    I don't know if my Narc ever blocked me because I always blocked him. I do remember those odd messages I would get from him when I wouldn't play ball, asking me to block him. That one puzzled me, but of course it was to assert control, knowing that because I was already bonded to him I didn't want to do it. Wanting to please him and feel at my lowest I did it. Then when I suffered withdrawal I'd chase and practically stalk him. 🍒

  • @bonnielee316
    @bonnielee316 Год назад +3

    I’ll tell you what happened to me before I even watch this video.
    I suspect that the man is mostly Borderline but seemingly 50% Borderline and 50% narcissist/psychopath.
    I thought to myself maybe it’s his disorder or maybe his anxiety or maybe his avoidant attachment style; Nope, it was strictly for cruelty. He was getting off on that power and bullying. Oh, he might have also been playing games to get me to do what he wanted. I looked it up on the internet and it could have been grooming in order to see what he could get away with.
    So the proof is that he found a woman that fit his type. He saw her for one month and then married her in the second month and she wanted a baby with him. She has two children from two previous men. Also, he was a compulsive liar. The fact that he was able to find, fall in love with and marry so easy showed me that all of his so-called, “ illnesses “ was just B.S. I learned a lesson not to feel sorry for certain people ever again. And that Borderlines can be mixed with NPD ( narcissistic personality disorder ). This person was unwilling to go into treatment. In my opinion, the ones that are getting off on bullying will not go into treatment because they will not give up that maladaptive way to make themselves feel better. I’ve got a covert narcissist sister who refuses to give it up. It helps her way too much for her to be able to give it up.
