    I'm relieved to know that the compliments and relationship were manufactured. It actually helps my brain to stop processing everything and being on a loop. It gives me more hope for the future and other relationships. This answers so many questions. The relationship I was in felt so intense and so amazing. I didn't think anything could come between us. I'd never felt like that before and I was sure I'd never find it again. But, thankfully I won't. I want something real and sustainable. And this helps me to know what to look out for.

      I went through the same intensity and the most amazing feeling in my life especially at the beginning of the relationship but as time went on, everything changed and got more bitter lots of fights and constant keeping me awake at nights with quarrels about minor and made up things, it was really bad with ofcourse verbal abuses and disrespect. To be honest it wasn’t the best relationship towards the end but I still miss the person she was in the love bombing stages because all seemed so real and heavenly. 6months since the discard but it feels like I’m stuck and can’t move on, and yet I clearly know she’s moved on and even moved in with their new person. It really hurts. But yeah

      @@oceanz2174 Mine was living with his ex in the 5 months he stayed at my house and love bombed me. He was telling me he wanted to marry me and change my name. I'd posted a picture of us on Facebook, publicly, on Christmas. The next day, she contacted me saying they lived together and he lied about it. Inside I knew he was lying. I kicked him out and we were back and forth a few months because he said he was going to leave her, but he didn't. Our last fight, he broke my foot. In a way, I'm lucky because it's what kept me from going back for more abuse. Then in my healing process, I found these videos and realized what I'd been dealing with. It's hard though. Certain things trigger tender or good memories, but knowing even the good times were manufactured helps put it behind me. I'm out just 6 months too. I'm sure you've had more growth than you realize in that time. I'm sorry for what you went through. It really is like falling in love with a demon.

      My ex was entirely shallow, superficial, vacuous, one-dimensional, vapid, and not even smart. I believe in his younger days (he's pushing 60, I met him six years ago) he was the jock/Ken doll type. I do not know what he was doing with me, I'm considered very deep, intelligent, a woman of substance, world traveled, etc. Since I'm now getting educated on the covert narcissist, which he is, he mirrored my sensibilities so that he could manipulate me into even focusing on him (I did not have any focus on him for the longest time). His ex wife, ex baby mama, etc., etc., and his next supply he discarded me for are all "Barbie" type females, the female counterparts to him (they are all in their late 50s).

  • @resilient8788
    @resilient8788 Год назад +1

    I can relate to his playing on my insecurities as a way of grooming/ future faking/ mirroring. Yet, I didn't get much if hardly any love bombing and can't hardly remember any really good times. Lots of waiting on him to get out of his dwi program (not his fault...right-lol) so we could do things together which always had one excuse another after another for not transpiring. Once he got out of the dwi program he immediately went back to hard core drinking which only propelled his ( unbeknownst to me at that time) npd. One day in one of his half drunken stupers I asked him why he never did any of the things with me he always said we would do. His reply, (one eye open with a smirk on his face) " I already had my fun in life."
    Then I let the room, feeling devastated, stupid and gullible. He fell sound asleep, woke up the next day as if nothing had transpired.
    One big lesson I learned through that hellish season of my life. It is not my right or responsiblity to try and " fix" anyone, especially someone that is their own worst enemy and doesn't view that as a problem never less that fact that if their words don't match their actions they are showing you who they really are so believe them and move on or run the other direction.

  • @ree3197
    @ree3197 6 месяцев назад +1

    My coworker in a nutshell.. he was the security guard and abused his camera privileges to stalk me around our store.. and then he abused the fact I'm a trans woman, with social anxiety, and also not popular at our job, for several reasons, imbedding thoughts that no one would ever believe me.
    And he was right. At least within that store, no one would take my word over his. Even if they started as My "friends".. not his!
    The second I left that job, he immediately got back with his ex, the same week, the one he would trash talk to me about All The Time, unprovoked. And proposed to her 3 months later.
    And i see, a year into their marriage or engagement, he's just started a couples Instagram, filled with the best pictures of them hes taken iver the last year! And he is the first comment under almost every single one of her Instagram pics, on her personal page.. as if they're likely not sitting right beside each other.
    I admit, i still love him.. but I truly believe now that a majority of his trauma, and abuse, was to fulfill his goal of confusing me.. having my brain so wrapped up in "who did he really like? Was it me, or another coworker!?", because i made the mistake of telling him "in the jealous type", all of this confusion, and heartache, just so I cant see all the trauma HE was causing me, let alone on PURPOSE!
    But instead, just like you said, i was obsessed with changing myself to be perfect for Him. Comparing myself to every girl he would talk to. Wondering if i wasnt as attractive as I once was before.. yet other guys seemd to like me still.
    I did, and still do struggle with feelings of unworthiness for him.. especially wifh all the inages he shares online of his near perfect wife . . And all the "adventures " they go on together.
    I think ill always care about him.. but I'm learning nore about who he really is now, with the help of your videos..
    Thank you!

    When I met the Narcissist, it was whirlwind and just storybook. Into the fourth month, the ex stayed over in the Narcissist's apartment and we were dating a lot. I was told later on, "I have experienced a real spiritual change and I want to pursue it". My Ex has been to a new Church.... left the Church and over ten years, start and stop, rekindle and dumped. Never again. I have a life lesson that will help me from here on.

Then after apologizing and crap he would somehow make it about how I caused him to hit me, If I didn't do xyz then it wouldn't of happened, I made him do it. He's done ALOT of work and recognition on his self since 3 years ago but I still see some of these things in him "the complimenting, he's said literally the same exact things to me that you've said only I just smile I don't return it. He still does the saying one thing but a hour later when he's irritated does and says the COMPLETE opposite, making sure to make me feel so shitty ab myself. It doesn't even fase me anymore I feel better when I know he wassnt successful at controlling my emotions.

    I’d love to know: why the narcissist picks the person or people they do. It’s odd: I was and suppose Still am the main supply. No one he’s cheated with has been ANYTHING like me. I’d imagine a few were contenders for main supply. I don’t fool myself with anything at all. I wonder why they were ALLLL my total physical and personality opposite?? They actually were more like him. Shitty and vain. Im not just saying this bc they were the other women. I have more clarity and much less of an emotional response. I need a therapist well versed in this. Not all are. He’s most certainly fooled many a therapist…edit as far as I’m aware and this is counting the marriage counselors he’s fooled every single one except ONE, an emdr trauma specialist who did a psych eval for the courts after a DV incident. (Punched me in the face, threw me by the neck-literally said “I did not hit you” AS HIS FIST CONNECTED and I heard a bone break) oooooof that cognitive dissonance is the tea he sips. That therapist said he has NPD on top of the other things that have always been at the forefront…I wanted to hug her so tight. He was FURIOUS and has since managed to scrub that based on the fact that he was still an active alcoholic and you technically aren’t supposed to diagnose ppl in the middle of active addiction or in process of withdrawal…but she was ordered and she was honest. Not much has changed since the booze left. He’s less heavy. Less hung over. Still lives in a thick fog of denial.
