To the narcissist it’s called Abandonment, to the victim it’s called LEAVING…You abandon a child, a dog because you are responsible for them. You are not responsible for an adult who is abusing you
Mine has been walking out on me &my son for the last 4 years ... I keep taking him back I get a silent treatment every time first one was 2 weeks ... then 4 weeks the longest one was 6 months this time it’s been 3 months I can’t take it anymore he is messaging me today telling me he loves me .....I sent him a recording of himself having his last rage at me which was horrid .... I said I can’t imagine my life without you but I can’t imagine being spoken to like that for the rest of my life either....he has other women he goes out with tells me how much fun they are while I’m at home feeling like Im Going to die of grief I suppose ..... he is pilled up at a rave with a woman half his age .... so I told him To call her & leave me alone ..... I’m so upset 😭
@@ellesmith4077 I was in a marriage 35 years my son is 30 I stay in the marriage so he could have a father in his life.Well nothing has changed only that my son is a adult and ghosted him all his life and caught him cheating his Father still denies it .Do what is best for you and your sons sanity his Father is not going to change your son Wil only be damaged by him seeing his mom being abused.His father will be a poor example to his Son if you take him back your son will become like his Father abusing and using women try to find men who who can be a good role model like church men but be careful their to there are wolves their to, pray and ask the LORD to help you he will guide you.Adventist church are very FAMILY orientated. I will pray for you.

@@melaniescott8204 I don’t go to church . I listen to my higher power and I follow my intuition . Why would “God,” want you to continue to be abused . The God that I follow which is “love,” only wants the best for me and wants me to live in alignment with love and light .
They're sensitive to abandonment yet they don't have a problem discarding you like trash when you're no longer interesting or convenient. The twisted world of a narcissist.
@@nateiverson6949 They force others to be insincere, once you know who they are to avoid the rage and revenge they will show when they are confronted with the truth. It is a horrible horrible thing to experience. My ex husband did all of this and worse underhanded tactics and I have family members who support him in staff of their own siblings. By the way, I believe most of my siblings 7 of them are narcissistic also.
@@rafinalucas4823 if you have to depend on someone else financially that means you are not financial stable. I totally understand making money is not easy, but you can do it
After cutting the toxic people out of my life, I continued to be Depressed for several years. Even when I felt suicidal, I was able to remind myself that life was actually, objectively better without them. That realisation helped me get through it.
So real. And my roommate narcissist is a hoarder. The more I cleaned, the less he did and the more expectant he gets. He is BIG MAD I am not cleaning or responding to him.
Congrats Kaylie, I am proud of you too, I also just left a narcissist after 20 years so I know how hard it can be.I hope you can move forward and live your best life.Sending you love and light ❤
After you've been tortured in a narcissistic relationship, you'll be able to recognize that sick feeling in your gut when you meet another narcissistic psycho almost immediately. RUN FAST!!!
@@findpurpose6300 You won't if you leave at the absolute beginning of any abuse. If you want to help them, tell them to see a shrink because they're psychotic. They won't, but they'll definitely be aware that you're too smart for them to manipulate.
@@lesliesexton7555 ohh i thought you are a woman and u left your man, it is other way around. Never met narcissist women, but met a lot of men🤷♀️ i sm proud of you. God will replace with someone much better.
Oh good God!! Such a fucking baby!! Thank God I've been no contact for a month, and has a 2nd degree battery charge on me. Yes, I'm pressing charges. No one is going to give me a fat bleeding lip, cut above my eye, and tried to strangle me, and get away with it!! I'm finally standing up for myself . Biggest a****** ever met. He deserves everything he's going to get for this oh, he ain't smirking now is he? Dumb f*** that he is
Its interesting because they feel the same way. They feel we (the empath or the victim) is the trash and tell everyone “it” took itself out! Never accepting they pushed “them” out. They also push others to suicide attempts yet tell everyone in their circle, the victim is the narcissist and they didnt follow thru. Its really so twisted. The first thing he said to me after my attempt was, I cant be with you being so unstable and in that state! He never apologizes or hoovers! Ever, so others believe the story that the pattern of the victim trying to talk when things cool down or trying to fix things makes the victim, indeed, into the narcissist!
@@am4221 So true. But always remember it was never about you but about their own insecurities etc. It is a lesson to learn and i am thankful it happened sooner than later. My motto now with the narc ... i dont talk cheese to a rat ...dont make moves on a snake ...you are important to many people and most of all to God who created you with much love and being unigue. Dont let sick people live rent free in your head. Its all about YOU now. Its ok. Go for it. Follow your gut instinct. After a narc experience, trust me, you gut always spot on. You are on my prayers list for healing, blessings and happiness.
@@melanieknowles7002 thank you. Its so intense. Not a care in the world from them. How smoothly they go on about life. As if you were already dead. I appreciate you.
Real. When you get past the confusion and anxiety, it’s just “oh here we go again.. “ all of it just for whatttt… why you mad? Why you yelling? Be so for real 🙄🙄🙄
I "feel sorry" for them, but not in the way they want me to "feel sorry" for them. "The unexamined life is not worth living". Some great philosopher said this. I'm SO GRATEFUL for Dr Ramani mentioning self-compassion, self-awareness, self-reflection. My narc family is not available for this "work". I can't "do" superficial. Realizing that my life has been one long gaslight / neglect by my mother was a bit painful, but empowering. Having the words to describe this abuse definitely helps with the understanding and acceptance. SO MUCH GRATITUDE TO YOU, Dr Ramani and those hear who share stories. Sorrow shared is lifted. Joy shared is multiplied. Blessings to ALL.
Yes, I was told that I "abandoned " them and that apparently I was "never actually in love or committed to them " and that I "gave up on us". I stayed for 2.5 years in that relationship. At first I always stood my ground, which resulted in sooo many arguments, then I started to feel bad and guilty and allowed myself to stay with them because it was "my fault " and "I was the problem " and deserved the insults apparently.
Maybe it is for them. I have an older sibling who caused so many problems that I went no contact...though I did not realize that was the name for it. Years ago I witnessed her( an adult mind you) balling her fists screaming(meanness absolutely with a red face) screaming in our mother's face AND ACTUALLY STAMPING HER FEET(!) Like a little kid throwing a fit. These fits and love bombing over the years finally I could not stand such abuse or stand witnessing it...I walked. It took my grandkids as flying monkeys. And others. I am just glad it is done.though I got a hoover via someone else...So about your question....rage?/ tantrum?/both?. A fist might make a difference too...however as I told this "sibling" She was an abuser. And I know abuse when I see it....she said "I never got anybody!" Bruises hurt.Yes. But the sick pain a narc who is not physically abusive hurt and damage maybe more.
When you leave them, they will see it as though you’re abandoning them. They will forget everything they did to push you away and just focus on you leaving. They will see it as though you did them wrong.
@@drivynsonnet7040 I think mine did, and I say this because she tried to gaslight me the very next day on why I left her. In a nutshell she tried to say her action in a given situation was "professional" when it was purely "personal". When I confronted her on it I saw more of the puzzle (I didn't know about NPD at the time, about ten days later I would stumble across it when trying to figure out what happened); the word salad, the gaslighting, the blank stare, trying to act like I was losing the best thing ever... when in reality I basically just dodged a bullet and got my life back. I had told her what she was doing and she acted like it was nothing, and even tried to turn it back on me. The bottom line: they really hate when people "discard" them, imo because its a wound to the ego, their sense of self-importance and "specialness". They may fear abandonment, but only so far as it impacts them financially or leaves them in an unstable situation. (I'd go on but gotta run. ;}
Yes I heard that earlier this year when I went no contact with my Dad. He said “I don’t know what I could have done to make you angry. Maybe some gratitude for all I’ve done for you will offset your anger.” He has been the one acting angry towards me all year though. I walked away just to get my peace of mind back.
My brother has been more and more physically threatening to our dad and being aggressive. I went over and said I’m here bc I wanted to talk to you about this, what’s going on. He, of course, claimed my dad was the one that always initiates these interactions. As well as stating our dad was lying over text. I, conversationally, believed this reality and simply asked clarifying questions. Before ever saying anything negative or refuting his claims he became extremely angry. Eventually, I said I didn’t believe him it needs to stop and if it doesn’t I’m either calling the police if urgent or filing a report. He of course said family doesn’t call the cops on each other to which I said that’s why I’m here, bc I don’t want to do that.
I'm getting ready to just do that with my narc mother. It's scary and the thought has made me sick even though I know getting out of here will be so much better. Hopefully you're living your best life now (and if not, I hope things get better!) and hopefully my life will be better too at some point soon.
I have forgiven my mother many times to my own demise. Moved far away for years. We're now 7 minutes away. She started her garbage when I was there with my granddaughter. I picked her up with a big smile and walked out. 3 years ago and I have no regrets. They don't change. In fact she is dangerous.
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide from my 42yr old narc son. I'd have to give up everything and go wondering alone in to the unknown. Unfortunately, he cannot take care of himself; he'd be homeless, return to using drugs, and die alone. What can a mother do? If things do not change, I will need to move somewhere to avoid serious abuse in my later age. Sad and stressful situation. Damned if I do and damned if I don't.
But he has free will and so do you, it is the image of God. It isn't true that he has no one, that is a guilt trip he uses to keep you trauma bonded. It is one thing to help someone who accepts your help and is grateful for it. It is another to try to help a person who is actively abusing you. It is either him or you, that is how your son thinks. He is trying to drag you down with him. This is evil and when something is evil, you HAVE to walk away. He has God as God is waiting to be there for everyone. No one is alone as God waits for everyone. As long as you are his crutch and punch bag, you are preventing him from hitting rock bottom and it is literally his only chance to change. I know what I am talking about, I had to hit rock bottom before I could change too. I had self destructive and addictive behaviours too (though I wasn't being abusive). I hit rock bottom and though I felt alone, I knew God was there and I cried out to Him. That was 6 years ago and now I am born again and have a completely different life. Some of my addictions went overnight. Jesus Christ saves.
Dr Ramini is so right!! I went through process of a sudden disconnect with a family friend of 30 yrs. I was extremely hurt, but knew better than allow myself to go down her rabbit hole. I have gone quietly no contact. And learned that anyone does not deserve this, can't change people except yourself. I'm out. Her loss.
Good to know- I said see ya on Christmas Day and he went from rage to desperate- I was just a prop in his life until o had on opinion or questioned him...he ignored me and gaslighted me and I said...no more
Been 2 years after 26 year marriage. He was a lot more wrong with him other than narcissism I'm so glad I did it. He was a evil wretched man capable of anything. Only I know but to the world butter wouldn't melt.
Thank you I needed to hear that. I lived with my cousin for eight months who has the streets. I’ve also been trying to get sober and have stayed sober for eight months. Got tired of hiding in my room all the time and crying in the bathroom. Constant one upping, following me around, expert on everything, wanted me to be uncomfortable, I started realizing The manipulation. I’m having trouble right now with what is real and sometimes I think that I’m doing things wrong but I know and I’m trying to Trust my gut. I finally had enough and freaked out and left I told him that I know and then I have notes on everything. He tried to I think it might be gaslight me and twist things when I came back three days later he try to suck me back in and give me this fake apology but I can see right through it. I have to stay here with him for now but I’ll leave in one week for Pennsylvania I’ll go anywhere I can’t wait To feel OK. There’s so much to this to explain and I don’t know how this could affect me this bad in such a short time
“Losing the conveniences you brought to their life” - it’s so sad when you realise this is all they ever cared about. It’s such a sickening shock when you learn that you were never cared for. It’s a cold wake up! You didn’t love me you loved my services.
They always make it your fault. Well at least manufacture that way. They use family friends and anyone else they have ties with that you know to gaslight you into thinking you're the one that's wrong, despite all the rage and abuse heaped your way over the years by them. "You know how he/she is, they don't really mean it." They are very good at what they do. They've only been at it since they seen it work and get rewarded early on.
Soooo true. I worked with a partner that made me feel comfortable with opening myself with her at the beginning of our work relationship. I thought she was a friend, but that wasn’t the case. She was dark and did some really shady things to me that I couldn’t believe. I fell into a very deep depression. I would get nauseous when I arrived in the parking lot at work. The anxious feelings were overwhelming. I finally got the courage to quit my job and it was the most freeing feeling ever.
Me too. Finally 43 years later I learn I am a Parentified CoDependent who married a Covert Narcissisy 9 years ago, I was finally disconnected 11 months ago by my now former wife. And realized at the same tire who I am in regards to my family- the Scapegoat. Financially destroyed...and so confused its not even funny. Thank God for Dr Ramani.❤😊
@@harleyhearse Good to hear you got out❤ It's not easy being the scapegoat, it's hard to break free. I realised after my dad died five years ago how toxic the family dynamic was. I feel quite angry for him not leaving the marriage sooner, but I don't think a divorce would have been easy either... He died after four months of cancer. Although it's awful to have lost him, I'm happy he is free now🕊
You’re not allowed to leave a narcissist. They call the shots. They spent a lot of time hoovering you into submission. They learned how to emulate your strong qualities because they’re incapable of having strong qualities on their own. So, yes, they get mad when you leave. But not because they’ll miss you or they’re hurt. It’s because now they have to put that work into someone else all over again.
And all that while living their miserable ordinary lives. (Mine's a covert narc who finally has to go to work for their own living.) Enjoy your freedom! Wish you the very best!
Yup!!! My ex threw the word "divorce" around years ago and even told me to go stay with my mother. She literally kicked me out twice but I failed to realize that I was her yo-yo. She called both times after a week telling me my son was missing me ( my weakness) both times. The third time she said it again years later this time I was done being her yo-yo and it was the best decision ever. I had to get the strength to overcome my weakness. I knew there was a high chance of my son not wanting to see me again. Sadly that was the outcome and I pray he reflects when he is older. I love him dearly.
Indeed. They COULD also put that work into developing their own sense of self and personal power... but the odds are not good. Most narcissists are not prepared to do what it actually takes to recover and develop a healthy adult self.
I'm going through this with my mom right now. I've tried cutting her off multiple times in the past, and something always makes me feel obligated to come around. I told her I'm done, and she literally drove 5 hours to go play victim and have a pity party with her sisters. I have to tell myself not to care of they believe her because it makes me feel like I have to defend myself, and she's wanting that to make me look worse in her story.
Angela Dawn you speak my truth! I was cut off by my Nac mother who’s hateful ways would never change! Tremendous feelings of abandonment are never fun. Always knowing, if she came back into my life, she pick up right where she left off. Always remember that, she will not change her ways. It’s a choice to be happy, I choose happy for myself. With bouts of all of it is the past. Remember, you can be in the movie that’s a nightmare, or you can watch it. Keep your power you’re doing great you’re making steps to get where you need to be. It’s heart wrenching! In the end she sent a message to me through a lawyer nothing was left in my family’s estate. Well not to me, LOL and It all, went to my niece. Jokes on her. I could make it on my own and always have. I still choose to keep my peace of mind. Oh by the way, being raised by a narc, left me with a whole bunch of friends, yes you guessed it most of them narcs. I know longer keep in touch with three of them. My relationships with them were longer than they were with my mother. Stepping stones Along the path of life.
@@angeladawn4855 hi! i am in the same boat as you! we have to stay strong and be ready to get portrayed as the bad guy in their story. regardless if others believe them or not, we need to maintain our boundaries for our mental health
The amazing part when you decide to leave... Is how you suddenly start to SEE clearer. You even see that what you thought was normal was actually toxic all along. The anxiety and stress starts to lessen. I filed for divorce last year July, it's been a year and a month and still he's giving me a hard time about it.
Right. When I used to point out my ex's mistakes then he used to say that it's normal in every relationship & that he abuses me bcz he loves me alot & misses me. Now when I left him & started talking to my frnds again & discussed these things with them then their reply was also the same. They also said that such kinda behaviour isn't normal. Now I realise that what I used to think was right. He was manipulating me into believing that abuses are ok
Took me 30 yrs, 1 month and 10days of being miserably, emotionally, and verbally abused to find freedom and peace again! I did it for my daughter and parents and received peace and relief for myself as an added benefit. I feel sorry for him and would help him if he was capable of truly listening/hearing my heart and prayers for both of our families
You can't "abandon" someone who was never "in" the relationship in the first place. People are nothing more than a pit-stop for narcissists: a place to momentarily refuel before they are off to the next shiny object that captures their attention.
@@shaniecegullison Depending on how far down the narcissistic spectrum they are (and how close to the sociopathic end of the spectrum), there can be a lot to hate about narcissists. I'm also really grateful I'm not one of them. I can't imagine being so desperately needy for admiration from others.
based, but trying to decolonize them from your mind is the second major battle, as I type this she's still in there from three years back only a brief meeting
@@sarangtokki2045 exactly. He knows how pissed I am, without even talking to me. He's giving me his perfect silent treatment. Knowing I'm disabled and can't complete my reno I started, and he was helping me, especially after hurricane Ian hit. He quit soon after. Never came back except to anger me. He stopped now, knowing that silent treatment is making me crazy without telling him. They are so cruel.
At some point empaths sense the underlying vulnerability of the narcissist and this can cause guilt while trying to escape the toxic effects of the relationship
Meeee tooooo. Wasted a lot of years that way. My advice is DO NOT feel sorry for them. They feel nothing for you. Also, the situation hurts everyone who loves you. And think of all the time and energy NPDs suck up that you could be spending on good people, good causes.
This is so true. But in the bigger picture, I think this gives the narcissist a chance to change. They are shown true love, understanding & care. Will they accept it & change? I believe everyone is given a chance to change, by God. It’s up to them whether they take it x
Go SILENT! Never give them another minute of your attention! Never think about them! You did nothing wrong, they did everything wrong! Give yourself a limited time to heal (maybe 3months - just a suggestion- set your own timeline- otherwise a Year will go before you know it! That's the mistake I made!) Glow up! You've learnt! Then move on!
I’ve never felt so much disgust for a person and feel bad for them at the same time. I don’t want to have hate in my heart for this person, but I also don’t want to have compassion for them anymore they don’t deserve it they’re weird
I left a narc 6 months ago my life has Blossoming ever since!! New job, new place, more income/ savings and Love. If you are reading this: You are making the right decision! As hard as it was it was needed for me to grow!
Same! I left my Narc mom about 8 months ago now and I realized I felt happy for the first time! I got a great job, making more money, living with a best friend and we do a lot of fun things together. :< Then Narc mom started the blame, shame, lies game to try to pull me back. On No contact now. MUCH happier apart and I've lived with no contact before (Mom's decision) so it's nothing new. I love and miss her, but I have a life to live!
@@cttofl8822 You’re welcome! Remember to take one day at a time. It gets easier each day. Write a list of all the bad things you felt or experienced and look at that list when you’re tempted to go back. I’m rooting for you 💕
People are ABSOLUTELY leaving these parasites! Thank God! There is SOO much exposure now, i believe due to social media. I'm so grateful the education. Thank you for all that you do. 2023 🎉❤
Yes! It’s like his “love” for me puts me in an automatic debt to him that I can’t repay but he’ll demand whenever he wants. This is not love, it’s a means of control.
In I would go on and sign the papers cause the longer u stay the longer they abuse u and it get worse over time and worse when u leave these people are very evil vile and wicked trust me when I tell u I regret the day I ever met one of these monsters!! They will make your life a living hell!!
I never understood why my lying, cheating narcissist never threatened divorce. Now I can see it was his fear of abandonment and the fact he was not capable of loving anyone, so he was never going to have a healthy relationship with me or anyone else, so why leave?
I left my Narc 3 weeks ago... the fog is only just starting to clear. I'm starting to see how crazy and abusive the relationship was. My nervous system and anxiety are starting to calm. Some days are harder than others...but I'm really proud of myself.
Its like they hypnotise you have you under some kind of spell. But after a while the pattern recognition becomes to much to ignore. I lost 18 kilos in weight and I wasnt even over weight. He said I was to fat then he didnt find me attractive anymore because I went so thin because of him. Nervous system was all over the place. And the 3 lots of anti biotics because of Stds he had given me. I finally snapped and had enough last week. When he asked me for the third time to be friends. I left I said I dont remain friends with serial womanising bullying narcissistic cheaters. Ive blocked him on everything. I never eant to lay eyes on him ever ever again. 🆘🙏❤️
When you realize what they did, you have a mental breakdown and everything is foggy and love transforms into rage, hatred, trying to get revenge then you just realize how pathetic they are inside and you move on because you’re worth more than that.
I’m left my narcissist and my anxiety levels are much normal now and my mental health is better my money is going back up I’m getting better luck 🍀 now with anything I do ❤
Reminds me of powering the exit gates in a game I play called Dead by daylight! Lol 😂 As soon as the killer knows you’re opening a gate they immediately try everything to stop you from even powering the escape.
When i was dumped by my gf i remember saying to her that ” i will never find someone like you 😔”.... she really was the best. ”Time will decide who you meet in life The Heart decides who you want in your life BUT Your behaviour decides who will stay with you ” 💔 lesson to be learned.
Yep,when he said that to me my reply was why the fucknwould I want to find someone else like you? That was said like a true narcissist. He got so pissed and started yelling at me "your evil your evil !"
Their social media will definitely say otherwise, they try to make themselves look like the happiest people on the planet. The one I was with at least, had to stop looking at her gross social media.
I'm getting ready to leave a narcissist relationship. When I started realizing that my mood was better when I was by myself, that's when I knew there was a problem. If I feel worse off when you're around vs when you're not around, it's time for me to go.
I was in a 10 year relationship with a narcissist..& it’s been 1year since I’ve broken up with him. He’s been persistent in trying to get me back and I have been equally persistent in staying done. Not easy, but the peace and rest I have gained is so worth it.
All they care about is controlling the narrative and they carefully "edit" the narrative so that they can remain grandiose, special, holier than thou, politically correct, virtuous, intelligent, faithful, innovative/entrepreneurial, like a hero/social justice warrior/generous benefactor....or whatever "starring role" it is they've cast themselves in so that they are in the strongest position to be admired by others. Above all, they are admiration-seekers, and that can show up a million different ways, depending on the values of the culture around them (and that can also shift depending on who is around at any time).
@@nthomson3575 Yeah, anyone who needs to plaster their name all over every business they've ever opened is pretty desperate for admiration from others.
"If you leave me I will smear you everywhere." This was the most miserable thing I ever witnessed in my whole life. I went No Contact anyway. Edit 03-07-21: Thanks for all the likes. Now I'm a coach to help people who just came out of toxic relationships. There's almost always a good side in a bad destiny.
This is exactly what has happened with my narcissist personality sister, I couldn't take it anymore the verbal abuse the name calling the physical assaults. Finally I did no contact and she went around telling everyone that she had to discard me. But I'm the only one that knows the truth. And I guess that's all that matters. Still bothers me, but I do have a lot more peace in my life
After leaving my ex, i found out he had been smearing me since we began dating, so basically for 30 years. So, best to leave ASAP. Fewer people will be poisoned against you in the long run. Also, beware of new friends or dates that talk bad about others.
Remember, you were in love with a mirage. This wonderful person you painted in your mind,doesn't exist. Once you get over the initial sting of the shock, it makes it much easier to keep walking...
@@siggmundfloyd1858 You are mistaken. She's not there. It's her false self ONLY, IF SHE'S A NARCISSIST. SHE COPIES YOUR TASTES BECAUSE SHE HAS FEW IF ANY GOOD QUALITIES, PROBABLY, OF HER OWN .
I kicked my narcissist BF out of my house a few hours ago,Not tolerating any more putdowns,it feels like pounds of pressure was released from my chest.So now I am binging on videos on the topic to help me understand and heal.Love should feel good.
I’d rather stay alone than be surrounded by anyone who makes me feel like a goddess one day by love bombing me and receiving negative energies and guilttripping me for not giving into their egoistic remarks. From now on, anyone who makes me feel like a villain for whatever reason needs to go. I’m not playing mind games with anyone because that’s too immature.
Isn't it rather annoying or uncomfortable to be shined upon with a spotlight, instead of just the normal calm, neutrally warm interaction without any fuss?
I agree!! I’ve had to learn the lesson a trillion times with ‘family’ that ANY response, of any kind will be used against you! So will no response at all, especially when they send out their flying monkeys, and they don’t deserve a response either!
I am going to leave my husband, I am so scared as he had threatened me with suicide if I ever left him, or he would become an alcoholic or he will leave his job. He says he loves me so much but his actions doesn't match. This is physically making me sick.
Best decision was not to respond. She was out of control, but I had her blocked so she couldn’t reach me. This malignant narcissist stole my son’s brand new Go-Pro, my Hey Dude’s shoes (brand new); and my “Where the Crawdads Sing.”
You can’t really abandon someone who decides to commit adultery and not be faithful. It makes no sense to stay with someone who goes off with someone else.
The one I knew cheated and had a child on her husband 22 yrs ago. He's remarried for 20 year's happily. She still calls him her husband but hasn't seen or spoken to him in 22 years. She wants him back because none of her relationships has panned out.
they crave for your attention to be 100% on them and for you to physically be around them all the time, but when you are around they don't care about your need, they don't listen or hear you, and they constantly insult and humiliate you for no reason. I don't understand what pleasure they get out of putting good people into misery.
They want to break your spirits so you won't leave them, not because they love you but because THEY actually NEED YOU. That's why they want to convince their partners of it being the other way around, by hurting them into lowering their self esteem.
THAT’S WHY.... you never tell them you’re leaving. You just leave. So interesting the these people are so brutal with others yet so delicate themselves.
True. I live with my narc mom for 15 years and the only "little better" way to travel or have a day off is to tell her only hours before leaving. When I m back miserable cold shoulders everytime ×_×
It was hard for me to do but I had to do this in my marriage. He would get so angry, didn’t want counseling, was controlling and always threatened to kill me with cyanide. I was afraid to eat anything in the house!!! On top of being a narc, he was clinically diagnosed with schizophrenia and felt that he was a sociopath (his words). Leaving him felt like I was escaping a war zone. I hid out for months at various family members home, had to change phone numbers, can’t access social media since he has made several accounts to harass me, blocked him through email even! It’s been exhausting and he refuses to sign the papers. I’m waiting on a miracle
These videos are probably saving my life. Every time I think about getting back with the narcissist I watch one of these videos and adjust my thinking.
You are so right! My husband threatened divorce twice and told me i can get out one too many times. I finally got fed up with it and told him when you say this it makes me think you’re right. Boy, did he backtrack his statement but it’s too late.
I feel so guilty for cutting them off. But she manipulated, gaslit, and discarded me. So I left. And my true friends love me without toxicity. It’s so hard to remember this...thank you for this video.
I understand the feeling of guilty. I think it's caused by the trama bonding. When you have the feeling it is hard to understand why you would feel that way with someone that treats you like crap. I don't think I will ever understand why. It's like you have to stay mad in your mind about the things they did to you . To not feel guilty. It's quite a mind fuck!
The guilt feeling is normal after a few weeks or so for normal people like us who normally don't just cut loose people in our lives. Trust your instinct. If you experienced being manipulated, gaslight and discard, leaving is a rational decision. You don't deserve to be treated that way. We don't deserve to be treated that way . I'm glad you're out from that toxicity.
If you went to the coffee shop and the employee punched you in the face every day would you feel guilty for not going there anymore? No, because you made a choice to avoid a bad situation. Nothing to feel guilty about.
Folks, you can't set yourself on fire just to keep somebody else warm. Think about that one. Once you get sick enough of the silent treatment when the narcissist doesn't get his/her way, the verbal/emotional abuse, the drama and neverending games, triangulation, gaslighting etc then you'll know that leaving is the right thing to do for yourselves. Good luck to all of you. I already cut ties several years ago and the benefits were almost immediate. Hoping the rest of you see your worth and put yourselves first for a change.
Love the phrase' can't set yourself on fire just to keep somebody else warm' think I'll adopt that one if you don't mind! I can confirm that life is so much better without them.
Right? People break up respectfully everyday. I've never had a problem with any other breakup since I was 16 yrs old. We divided our stuff (as a teen we gave each other's CD's back and hoodies or w/e) and cried and mourned that it didn't work out and we put in notice to our apartment and gave each other time to find a place (adults). . .and then breaking up with a narc has been hell on earth. Restraining orders, then he gives out my personal info and has other people harass me and it will be 3 years in court in January. I've never ever had someone behave this way before. Doing the whole crap talking thing and trying to blame me for everything. All my ex's have never done anything like this. It has always been "We're not together anymore", "It didn't work out", and I didn't talk crap about them and they didn't talk about me. We acted like adults and then there is the narc and he even has his Mom call me names on the phone, like WTF? He's 37! Cut the umbilical cord already.
@@secretpookie8134 Then the narcissist has some very significant cognitive distortions and stopped maturing possibly before adolescence from some of the strong abandonment issues on here. This is some major lashing out and trying to assert control over another person due to immaturity and the inability to handle ones own emotions. I know each individual narc has their own time they had maturity issues and their own issues and reasons they feel the way they do, but some cases seem exceptionally extreme. My lawyers and I have dealt with some significant behaviors that made my lawyers come to and ask me "Is he two years old" and I said "Yes, yes he is" because he acts like it with tantrums and two year old behaviors. When you are over 18 but act less than 10 that is a lot of therapy needed.
He told me that it would probably be best if I were to leave, I packed me and my son's things, and was gone by 630pm that day (before he got home from work). Then he calls me to say "I only said that to try and makes things change. I didn't think you were gonna leave the same day". Then he calls me a week later and says "I thought you would've thawed out by now and came back". Nope! I made a video of the day I left, reminding myself that this was the last time. THIS was my chance November 1, 2021.
Same here--i had 23 years of--all she wanted was money--i was number 3 on her list--her dad was number 1 and (wait for it )---the CAT was number 2--go figure that one .
@@jamesmcginn8874 Of course, the Narcissist must Triangulate any way they can. My Narc uses the dog the same way. Giving her all of his attention and affection. Telling me the dog will always come first, to make sure I know my place in his heart. He lives in my home, and would be homeless if not for me. He has lived on my couch for 317 days now. He is looking for work, and then he is to move out. Every day I feel rejection from him. He shames me for my needs, in my own hone. 7.5 years later with him, we barely speak with each other. We ignore each other mostly.He makes sure to tell me he is taking the dog with him when he moves. The dog gives me affection, and I love her very much. The Narc wants create pain through this Triangulation. The Narc will always be triggered to Triangulate
My wife and I are married just over a year. Her parents threw the entire narcissistic book at her just before we got married. They cut her off financially (they were paying her tuition/schooling) while we were dating (explicitly saying they would pay again once she had broken up with me), dialed the emotional abuse to an 11, blackmailed her into going on multiple "family trips" where they tried to "deprogram" her and convince her to break up. Long story short, we've been married a little over a year, have a wonderful relationship, are completely financially independent from them, she has a job as a teacher in a highly competitive district. And she completely severed them months ago. Never been happier. Anyway, I just 100% related to your comment there. "You really think you're going to make it without me?" *looks around* "Yeah I think I'll take my chances." Lol
Both my narc parents discarded me if you can believe that! My mother Hoovers from time to time. I cut her off for the final time recently. (New number- blocked her from any form of getting in touch with me again) It's sad when it's the parents...
Lmao. My narc ex did the same thing. He completely leaves out the part how it was me that simply packed my bags and left one morning. Leaving him standing there. He tells people he “found out something about me” and that’s why we “could no longer be together”. Lmao. Yeah. He found out I was packing my bags one morning and had rented a car to drive away in, and we could no longer be together because I saw him as the liability and liar that he was.
The amount of survivors are on the rise it’s really sad!! This needs to be nipped in the bud. Congratulations 🥳 for anyone who is recovering from narcissist abuse 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️
Blocked mine on 10 October, haven’t looked back. He’s attempted contact twice through different social media, I read the message, then blocked him there too. The first week or so was hard, but I feel incredible now.
Blocked him on jan 2020, I blocked him frm everywhere, I received an email yesterday saying that he still misses me. But I ve no contact with him. So difficult but it’s for a better future...👍 all the best sister
Depends. They move on far quicker, than you. To them, you were just a toy to play with. You and only you will experience full relationship breakdown cycle. But there is always light at the end of tunnel. If you don´t give up during the phases of breakdown, you will win. Not over him/her, but over yourself. And you will gain confidence in yourself as a result.
@@Morpheus-pt3wq Not always. Some narcissists are quite capable of loving someone genuinely. For those individuals, the loss often ends up being irrecoverable. They'll go on pretending like they're fine to "save face," but on the inside they're falling to pieces over it. Due to the strong focus on the self, they end up in a spiral where they outwardly continue to self-aggrandize but inwardly self-loathe. The two competing mindsets make it almost impossible for them to get help, and even if they were to reach out many psychologists will make several assumptions regarding their sincerity based solely on a narcissistic personality disorder diagnosis being in their medical records. People like to pretend narcissism is a choice - it's not. Many narcissists don't *want* to be that way, and they secretly lament the fact they are. Lumping them all together and pretending like each and every one of them is only out to use and abuse everyone around them is dehumanizing and cruel, and it only serves to further damage those narcissists who wish they could change but realize they can't do so without help. How would you feel if someone dismissed your individuality and instead chose to see you through the same lens they see some other demographic through? Would you like being told you have no worth as a human being just because some other people that share a condition with you are monumental douchebags? No, I don't think you would.
@@tek512 Why should i care about someone, who kept dismissing my feelings? We are adults, not children. And as adults, we have a choice, whose feelings are we gonna respect and whose we will dismiss. Respect is earned via actions, not words. Either get help (you are quite exposed, sir), or stop fishing here, because this pool is full of sharks.
@@Morpheus-pt3wq it mostly causes obsession by them as their grandiose ego thinks you'll never leave them. At their core is absolute shame, so you discarding them is devastating and shines a spotlight on their shame. My ex had someone lined up immediately, but you bet he still drunk rang me in a sorry state. The new fuel source didn't fill the hole like he thought it would. I think a rare few wouldn't care. But the narcissistic structure doesn't normally allow for that.
@@minacerra The 3 narcissistic friends from my experience that I can recall didn't really care when I started to distance myself from them, probably because I was of little importance to them. It is interesting to learn from you that it is rare that narcissistics don't care. Now I'm kinda curious how my 3 narcissistic friends will react when I become more successful or when they suddenly realize that losing me was a mistake.
I am filing for a divorce from my 15 year Narcissistic husband. We have 4 young kids and 2 have Autism and special needs. I am so utterly heartbroken, but this has to be done. I cannot live this way anymore. This video is such an inspiration. Exactly how he is. And honestly, he was not always this way. He got his way about 10 years ago, worse and worse and angry.
I learned about 1.5 years prior to my wife leaving me. I studied hard and desperately searching for when the true narcissistic behavior started in her. She was the one that gave me the awnser! She had said, "You haven't been the same since mom died "(her mom,5 years prior.) Now I see ,I haven't been the same in her eyes since then. I believe her mother,talking on a daily basis, was my wife's narcissistic regulation therapy. Helping to guide her through her overthinking and negativity. The small hurtful things that she would laugh off have always been there. The 20 years together. It was until her mom died that she really started getting out of control and gaslighting me, going silent, doing whatever she wanted. I questioned her about why she would tell people that I was a bad father and husband ,but it was all denied, and she would change the subject, and/or turn it into a screaming match. Only good thing to come out of that was our son recalling her project something she had done onto me. His eyes were opened to her evil narcissistic behavior. I don't know how I would have made it these past 2 years without him by my side,understanding what truly is going on. She worked for years on her smear campaign. Has everyone believing I am the one to blame.😢 Well, I'm better off without friends who don't look into false accusations! Better off without a narcissist too. Took 5 days to realize how much stress and anxiety she had put on me, and then I knew... No More! I don't want her back, even if she goes to therapy. I love her ,and wish her the best. The mental and emotional tolls are not worth the part-time,conditional love she would give.💔
I hope your doing fine i know how you feel i left my husband 2 years ago we have 1 Child but the Drama does not stop because of the child... i hope your not dealing with the same!
“No one will ever love you like I did” “You will never find a better life than this “, I found love after, and I have a peaceful, happy life after getting rid of him.

I didn't know what a narssasist was until about a years or so ago. Once I did everything made since. I was married was 18 yrs to my high school sweet heart. The last time he left me and our kids, he said he wanted a divorce. So about that time was when I figured out what he was, so I said meet me at the courthouse. He has yet to sign papers and I had to get a lawyer. It's awful!
Literally have just been discarded. I’m lying in my bed right now in my empty house that is going up for sale soon. Last year I had two immediate family members pass away & while grieving she cheated on me multiple times & lied about it all. She eventually confessed & told me, blamed it on her meds & I forgave her. We talked & all I asked was that from here on out that she would be honest with me. 6 months later out of the blue ( after everything seemed fine ) she texts me saying how she hasn’t been happy & just gets up & leaves the kids & I. She then goes with a friend to a concert then two days later checks herself into a mental hospital. Now don’t get me wrong I’m glad she got help but when she got out all she did was talk about how much she learned & how she has improved. Then goes onto blame me for everything once again, don’t know how much more I can take. I just want to sign the divorce papers…
For years I heard, “If you leave me I’ll kill myself.” I left 25 years ago. He’s still alive. Huh.....
Hahahahahaaha
😕
Unreal, that such people exist 😕
theyre fake. thats all.
Lolol
To the narcissist it’s called Abandonment, to the victim it’s called LEAVING…You abandon a child, a dog because you are responsible for them. You are not responsible for an adult who is abusing you
Mine has been walking out on me &my son for the last 4 years ... I keep taking him back I get a silent treatment every time first one was 2 weeks ... then 4 weeks the longest one was 6 months this time it’s been 3 months I can’t take it anymore he is messaging me today telling me he loves me .....I sent him a recording of himself having his last rage at me which was horrid .... I said I can’t imagine my life without you but I can’t imagine being spoken to like that for the rest of my life either....he has other women he goes out with tells me how much fun they are while I’m at home feeling like Im Going to die of grief I suppose ..... he is pilled up at a rave with a woman half his age .... so I told him To call her & leave me alone ..... I’m so upset 😭

Its interesting because they feel the same way. They feel we (the empath or the victim) is the trash and tell everyone “it” took itself out! Never accepting they pushed “them” out. They also push others to suicide attempts yet tell everyone in their circle, the victim is the narcissist and they didnt follow thru. Its really so twisted. The first thing he said to me after my attempt was, I cant be with you being so unstable and in that state! He never apologizes or hoovers! Ever, so others believe the story that the pattern of the victim trying to talk when things cool down or trying to fix things makes the victim, indeed, into the narcissist!
@@am4221 So true. But always remember it was never about you but about their own insecurities etc. It is a lesson to learn and i am thankful it happened sooner than later. My motto now with the narc ... i dont talk cheese to a rat ...dont make moves on a snake ...you are important to many people and most of all to God who created you with much love and being unigue. Dont let sick people live rent free in your head. Its all about YOU now. Its ok. Go for it. Follow your gut instinct. After a narc experience, trust me, you gut always spot on.

Yes I dumped mine four days ago i was just bored to death catching him doing the same shit over and over it never changes I'm over it
I'm constantly battling between hating them and feeling sorry for them.
Someone who makes you hate yourself for loving them doesn't even deserve your hatred let alone your sympathy.
I get that. In fact just the other day I had to journal my hate to bring me back to why they do what they do. 🤔
This probably happens because they are intermittently good when they have to get their work done by you.
Don't feel bad for them.
I "feel sorry" for them, but not in the way they want me to "feel sorry" for them. "The unexamined life is not worth living". Some great philosopher said this. I'm SO GRATEFUL for Dr Ramani mentioning self-compassion, self-awareness, self-reflection. My narc family is not available for this "work". I can't "do" superficial. Realizing that my life has been one long gaslight / neglect by my mother was a bit painful, but empowering. Having the words to describe this abuse definitely helps with the understanding and acceptance. SO MUCH GRATITUDE TO YOU, Dr Ramani and those hear who share stories. Sorrow shared is lifted. Joy shared is multiplied. Blessings to ALL.
They abandon people via emotional abuse/neglect then wonder why someone would physically abandon them. 😂
They are evil and delusional.
This how they one did me he’s the first narcissist I known. But they will Reap what they sowed
EXACTLY!! LOL I GET IT KNOW HAHAAAA 😂 LOL
Because they deserve it.
Yes, I was told that I "abandoned " them and that apparently I was "never actually in love or committed to them " and that I "gave up on us". I stayed for 2.5 years in that relationship. At first I always stood my ground, which resulted in sooo many arguments, then I started to feel bad and guilty and allowed myself to stay with them because it was "my fault " and "I was the problem " and deserved the insults apparently.
Nothing crazier than an adult having a tantrum.
Isn’t it called ‘rage’?
Maybe it is for them. I have an older sibling who caused so many problems that I went no contact...though I did not realize that was the name for it. Years ago I witnessed her( an adult mind you) balling her fists screaming(meanness absolutely with a red face) screaming in our mother's face AND ACTUALLY STAMPING HER FEET(!) Like a little kid throwing a fit. These fits and love bombing over the years finally I could not stand such abuse or stand witnessing it...I walked. It took my grandkids as flying monkeys. And others. I am just glad it is done.though I got a hoover via someone else...So about your question....rage?/ tantrum?/both?.
A fist might make a difference too...however as I told this "sibling" She was an abuser. And I know abuse when I see it....she said "I never got anybody!"
Bruises hurt.Yes. But the sick pain a narc who is not physically abusive hurt and damage maybe more.
She said"I never "hit" anyone. (Typo)
I've seen it so many times with my mother, it's embarrassing or would be if she could self reflect.
Shit drives me nuts MAN! Just like a 5 year old child. I'm tired planning my get away now.
I didnt abandon my narc abuser,i ESCAPED with nothing but my peace of mind.
When you leave them, they will see it as though you’re abandoning them. They will forget everything they did to push you away and just focus on you leaving. They will see it as though you did them wrong.
Exactly
Yes :( this is so true
Exactly and they can’t even fathom why we left them - they literally don’t even know what they did was wrong which is concerning
Exactly my point
@@drivynsonnet7040 I think mine did, and I say this because she tried to gaslight me the very next day on why I left her. In a nutshell she tried to say her action in a given situation was "professional" when it was purely "personal". When I confronted her on it I saw more of the puzzle (I didn't know about NPD at the time, about ten days later I would stumble across it when trying to figure out what happened); the word salad, the gaslighting, the blank stare, trying to act like I was losing the best thing ever... when in reality I basically just dodged a bullet and got my life back. I had told her what she was doing and she acted like it was nothing, and even tried to turn it back on me.
The bottom line: they really hate when people "discard" them, imo because its a wound to the ego, their sense of self-importance and "specialness". They may fear abandonment, but only so far as it impacts them financially or leaves them in an unstable situation. (I'd go on but gotta run. ;}
Abandoning a narcissist who is constantly gaslighting and emotionally crippling you...is the best thing you could ever have done for yourself!

My brother has been more and more physically threatening to our dad and being aggressive. I went over and said I’m here bc I wanted to talk to you about this, what’s going on. He, of course, claimed my dad was the one that always initiates these interactions. As well as stating our dad was lying over text. I, conversationally, believed this reality and simply asked clarifying questions. Before ever saying anything negative or refuting his claims he became extremely angry. Eventually, I said I didn’t believe him it needs to stop and if it doesn’t I’m either calling the police if urgent or filing a report. He of course said family doesn’t call the cops on each other to which I said that’s why I’m here, bc I don’t want to do that.
I left my own mother. I'm still scared to death... but now my life belongs to ME. People with narcissistic mothers will understand.
Hugs
I'm getting ready to just do that with my narc mother. It's scary and the thought has made me sick even though I know getting out of here will be so much better.
Hopefully you're living your best life now (and if not, I hope things get better!) and hopefully my life will be better too at some point soon.
💙🙏💎
Hey, how are you doing nowadays?
I have forgiven my mother many times to my own demise. Moved far away for years. We're now 7 minutes away. She started her garbage when I was there with my granddaughter. I picked her up with a big smile and walked out. 3 years ago and I have no regrets. They don't change. In fact she is dangerous.
I left a narcissist a few weeks ago. Best decision I ever made.
Me too sister. All the healing and love to ya.
Me a month ago
Make sure you don't go back to the narcissist.
I am very pleased for you. Your future will be much happier and safer without them in your life. Wishing you all the best xxoo
Congratulations/
I dont call it abandonment I call it RUNNING FOR YOUR LIFE😊
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide from my 42yr old narc son. I'd have to give up everything and go wondering alone in to the unknown. Unfortunately, he cannot take care of himself; he'd be homeless, return to using drugs, and die alone. What can a mother do? If things do not change, I will need to move somewhere to avoid serious abuse in my later age. Sad and stressful situation. Damned if I do and damned if I don't.

But he has free will and so do you, it is the image of God. It isn't true that he has no one, that is a guilt trip he uses to keep you trauma bonded. It is one thing to help someone who accepts your help and is grateful for it. It is another to try to help a person who is actively abusing you. It is either him or you, that is how your son thinks. He is trying to drag you down with him. This is evil and when something is evil, you HAVE to walk away. He has God as God is waiting to be there for everyone. No one is alone as God waits for everyone. As long as you are his crutch and punch bag, you are preventing him from hitting rock bottom and it is literally his only chance to change. I know what I am talking about, I had to hit rock bottom before I could change too. I had self destructive and addictive behaviours too (though I wasn't being abusive). I hit rock bottom and though I felt alone, I knew God was there and I cried out to Him. That was 6 years ago and now I am born again and have a completely different life. Some of my addictions went overnight. Jesus Christ saves.
Exactly 😂😂😂😂
It's crazy because when you initially leave, they're feeling abandoned, and you feel relief! 💆♀️🥳🎉
Dr Ramini is so right!! I went through process of a sudden disconnect with a family friend of 30 yrs. I was extremely hurt, but knew better than allow myself to go down her rabbit hole. I have gone quietly no contact. And learned that anyone does not deserve this, can't change people except yourself. I'm out. Her loss.
If you discard a narcissist, they will be thinking about you for the rest of their life. They will be overwhelmingly obsessed with you.
Good to know-
I said see ya on Christmas Day and he went from rage to desperate-
I was just a prop in his life until o had on opinion or questioned him...he ignored me and gaslighted me and I said...no more
Facts.
Holy!!!!
Sad. I also heard that they go looking for another prey. They need new supply.
I dunno about that my ex narc is engaged and moving to the states I dont think he gave me a second thought .... Still as long as hes HAPPY
I left a narcissist a year ago. I became homeless with two babies (1 & 3 yo) it was extremely hard, and now I can say that I'm so proud of myself.
Noice!
you really should be. i am proud of you too Cristina ❤🩹
Proud of you, as I did the same seven years ago xx
Good for you! Super proud of you 👏
Stay strong you've won already and the universe will come together to give you back all the joy you deserve ❤
When you abandon/leave a narcissist, you heal over time & you become a happier person 🙂✨
May the LORD heal all of our damaged souls and guide the world to a good place with no more hate and negativity as we live and stay alive...
Been 2 years after 26 year marriage. He was a lot more wrong with him other than narcissism I'm so glad I did it. He was a evil wretched man capable of anything. Only I know but to the world butter wouldn't melt.
So true!
I hate her, i wanna leave, annoying at best....
Thank you I needed to hear that. I lived with my cousin for eight months who has the streets. I’ve also been trying to get sober and have stayed sober for eight months. Got tired of hiding in my room all the time and crying in the bathroom. Constant one upping, following me around, expert on everything, wanted me to be uncomfortable, I started realizing The manipulation. I’m having trouble right now with what is real and sometimes I think that I’m doing things wrong but I know and I’m trying to Trust my gut. I finally had enough and freaked out and left I told him that I know and then I have notes on everything. He tried to I think it might be gaslight me and twist things when I came back three days later he try to suck me back in and give me this fake apology but I can see right through it. I have to stay here with him for now but I’ll leave in one week for Pennsylvania I’ll go anywhere I can’t wait To feel OK. There’s so much to this to explain and I don’t know how this could affect me this bad in such a short time
“Losing the conveniences you brought to their life” - it’s so sad when you realise this is all they ever cared about. It’s such a sickening shock when you learn that you were never cared for. It’s a cold wake up! You didn’t love me you loved my services.
Yes exactly, feeling horrible to have left somebody make me become a servant. Now to find back my dignity...
Yup ❤
It's true, we were never cared for! This is sobering and helpful.
Is interesting to learn they could Never love lmao I can’t believe it but u have to believe it’s tru
@@iiyoniezeHill that’s probably why sex feels so empty. Good but empty.

@@tiddlywinks8299 Exactly !🤢
THIS
They always make it your fault. Well at least manufacture that way. They use family friends and anyone else they have ties with that you know to gaslight you into thinking you're the one that's wrong, despite all the rage and abuse heaped your way over the years by them.
"You know how he/she is, they don't really mean it." They are very good at what they do. They've only been at it since they seen it work and get rewarded early on.
Soooo true. I worked with a partner that made me feel comfortable with opening myself with her at the beginning of our work relationship. I thought she was a friend, but that wasn’t the case. She was dark and did some really shady things to me that I couldn’t believe. I fell into a very deep depression. I would get nauseous when I arrived in the parking lot at work. The anxious feelings were overwhelming. I finally got the courage to quit my job and it was the most freeing feeling ever.
Falling in love with narcissistic people: a very bad emotional investment.
Amen. I left my nars two days ago. I feel so relieved
💔
That's so true. Ive learned my lesson. When you notice the redflags from the start, run!
I call it an escape. Someone in the comment said, " I call it RUNNING FOR YOUR LIFE." 😂😂😂😂 That is so exact 💯
Who clicked without even watching 👀....... i love this woman she changed my view of me. Thought I was broken but im not ......
You though you where the problem ?
Me too! I grew up in a dysfunctional family, it can be hard to get any perspective of what is "normal" in a toxic environment.
Me too. Finally 43 years later I learn I am a Parentified CoDependent who married a Covert Narcissisy 9 years ago, I was finally disconnected 11 months ago by my now former wife. And realized at the same tire who I am in regards to my family- the Scapegoat. Financially destroyed...and so confused its not even funny. Thank God for Dr Ramani.❤😊
@@harleyhearse Good to hear you got out❤ It's not easy being the scapegoat, it's hard to break free. I realised after my dad died five years ago how toxic the family dynamic was. I feel quite angry for him not leaving the marriage sooner, but I don't think a divorce would have been easy either... He died after four months of cancer. Although it's awful to have lost him, I'm happy he is free now🕊
😌🙏🏻❤✨ She saved me😭😭
You’re not allowed to leave a narcissist. They call the shots. They spent a lot of time hoovering you into submission. They learned how to emulate your strong qualities because they’re incapable of having strong qualities on their own. So, yes, they get mad when you leave. But not because they’ll miss you or they’re hurt. It’s because now they have to put that work into someone else all over again.
And all that while living their miserable ordinary lives. (Mine's a covert narc who finally has to go to work for their own living.)
Enjoy your freedom! Wish you the very best!
I agree. I think “hoovering” is less the fear of abandonment and more the reality that they have to put effort into another person.
Yup!!! My ex threw the word "divorce" around years ago and even told me to go stay with my mother. She literally kicked me out twice but I failed to realize that I was her yo-yo. She called both times after a week telling me my son was missing me ( my weakness) both times. The third time she said it again years later this time I was done being her yo-yo and it was the best decision ever. I had to get the strength to overcome my weakness. I knew there was a high chance of my son not wanting to see me again. Sadly that was the outcome and I pray he reflects when he is older. I love him dearly.
Indeed. They COULD also put that work into developing their own sense of self and personal power... but the odds are not good. Most narcissists are not prepared to do what it actually takes to recover and develop a healthy adult self.
@@mayalibre I concur! They are impaired and do not have the tools to do that.
When you abandon the narcissist get ready for blame, insults, the victim game.
You are the enemy and have to pay for it.
I'm going through this with my mom right now. I've tried cutting her off multiple times in the past, and something always makes me feel obligated to come around. I told her I'm done, and she literally drove 5 hours to go play victim and have a pity party with her sisters. I have to tell myself not to care of they believe her because it makes me feel like I have to defend myself, and she's wanting that to make me look worse in her story.
@@angeladawn4855 Good luck, you will succeed and overcome.
The narcissist feels victimised,show your sympathy🆘
Angela Dawn you speak my truth! I was cut off by my Nac mother who’s hateful ways would never change! Tremendous feelings of abandonment are never fun. Always knowing, if she came back into my life, she pick up right where she left off. Always remember that, she will not change her ways. It’s a choice to be happy, I choose happy for myself. With bouts of all of it is the past. Remember, you can be in the movie that’s a nightmare, or you can watch it. Keep your power you’re doing great you’re making steps to get where you need to be. It’s heart wrenching! In the end she sent a message to me through a lawyer nothing was left in my family’s estate. Well not to me, LOL and It all, went to my niece. Jokes on her. I could make it on my own and always have. I still choose to keep my peace of mind. Oh by the way, being raised by a narc, left me with a whole bunch of friends, yes you guessed it most of them narcs. I know longer keep in touch with three of them. My relationships with them were longer than they were with my mother. Stepping stones Along the path of life.
@@angeladawn4855 hi! i am in the same boat as you! we have to stay strong and be ready to get portrayed as the bad guy in their story. regardless if others believe them or not, we need to maintain our boundaries for our mental health
The amazing part when you decide to leave... Is how you suddenly start to SEE clearer. You even see that what you thought was normal was actually toxic all along. The anxiety and stress starts to lessen.
I filed for divorce last year July, it's been a year and a month and still he's giving me a hard time about it.
Yes!
Right. When I used to point out my ex's mistakes then he used to say that it's normal in every relationship & that he abuses me bcz he loves me alot & misses me. Now when I left him & started talking to my frnds again & discussed these things with them then their reply was also the same. They also said that such kinda behaviour isn't normal. Now I realise that what I used to think was right. He was manipulating me into believing that abuses are ok
@dipshikhachandra3439 Same, he had me believing what he did, he did because of love. "All in my head".
i was lucky at least in that I recognized it twas not normal and was out in a jif, still they're colonized in your mind, on and on.
tell me about it. Its been more than 2 years and he's still blaming me for not taking his shit for life.
I left after FIFTY YEARS (ya, slow learner am I) and now I’m free, I’m content, I’m happy!
No one can throw a bigger tantrum than a narcissist who’s losing control of someone else!!!!
Congratulations on putting you first. It took me twenty years the first time and sixteen years the second time. I thought my love could fix them.
You finally found sanity
proud of you!
Took me 30 yrs, 1 month and 10days of being miserably, emotionally, and verbally abused to find freedom and peace again! I did it for my daughter and parents and received peace and relief for myself as an added benefit. I feel sorry for him and would help him if he was capable of truly listening/hearing my heart and prayers for both of our families
I left my Narcissist on Christmas Eve, and I have 0 regrets.
sounds like a good christmas present
I left mine on Boxing Day.
Good on you
I left mine November 8. Blocked him he has tried twice knocking on my flat door i ignored him. Im never going back im happier on my own.
@@susanpollitt513 proud of u girl!!!!
You can't "abandon" someone who was never "in" the relationship in the first place. People are nothing more than a pit-stop for narcissists: a place to momentarily refuel before they are off to the next shiny object that captures their attention.
I hate this about them
Well said
@@anumgilani8277 Thank you, and Happy New Year~
@@shaniecegullison Depending on how far down the narcissistic spectrum they are (and how close to the sociopathic end of the spectrum), there can be a lot to hate about narcissists.
I'm also really grateful I'm not one of them. I can't imagine being so desperately needy for admiration from others.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Blocked the narcissist and i feel so much better.
based, but trying to decolonize them from your mind is the second major battle, as I type this she's still in there from three years back only a brief meeting
Loving narcissist is like hugging a cactus. 🌵🌵🌵
And that’s the truth!!!!!
Great analogy
I'd rather hug a cactus any day 🌵
At least I'll only have physical scars instead of being mentally fukd up like I am now ❤️🩹💩😇
I felt that tooooo sad.
@@sarangtokki2045 exactly. He knows how pissed I am, without even talking to me. He's giving me his perfect silent treatment. Knowing I'm disabled and can't complete my reno I started, and he was helping me, especially after hurricane Ian hit. He quit soon after. Never came back except to anger me. He stopped now, knowing that silent treatment is making me crazy without telling him. They are so cruel.
At some point empaths sense the underlying vulnerability of the narcissist and this can cause guilt while trying to escape the toxic effects of the relationship
Yes, it is exactly that guilt that kept me in the relationship long after I knew it had to end.
Meeee tooooo. Wasted a lot of years that way. My advice is DO NOT feel sorry for them. They feel nothing for you. Also, the situation hurts everyone who loves you. And think of all the time and energy NPDs suck up that you could be spending on good people, good causes.
This is so true. But in the bigger picture, I think this gives the narcissist a chance to change. They are shown true love, understanding & care. Will they accept it & change? I believe everyone is given a chance to change, by God. It’s up to them whether they take it x
- it’s up to us whether we take it.. I think there are different degrees of narcissism.. it’s in all of us to a certain degree
You said a mouthful there Chad!
Go SILENT! Never give them another minute of your attention! Never think about them! You did nothing wrong, they did everything wrong!
Give yourself a limited time to heal (maybe 3months - just a suggestion- set your own timeline- otherwise a Year will go before you know it! That's the mistake I made!)
Glow up! You've learnt! Then move on!
Straight, simple and to the point, I love it.
Thank you. ❤

I’ve never felt so much disgust for a person and feel bad for them at the same time. I don’t want to have hate in my heart for this person, but I also don’t want to have compassion for them anymore they don’t deserve it they’re weird
Thats exactly how I feel. I dont like to hate, but my God, I have never been treated worse in my life or disrespected like I was. It kills me!
I completely empathize with y’all on this. Wow.
Him tormenting himself is his own karma
Right ... agreed.

I left a narc 6 months ago my life has Blossoming ever since!! New job, new place, more income/ savings and Love. If you are reading this: You are making the right decision! As hard as it was it was needed for me to grow!
PRAY FOR ME! I don’t want to go back.
Same! I left my Narc mom about 8 months ago now and I realized I felt happy for the first time! I got a great job, making more money, living with a best friend and we do a lot of fun things together. :< Then Narc mom started the blame, shame, lies game to try to pull me back. On No contact now. MUCH happier apart and I've lived with no contact before (Mom's decision) so it's nothing new. I love and miss her, but I have a life to live!

It's not about love its about a need to control.
This is what it's all about.
Yes! It’s like his “love” for me puts me in an automatic debt to him that I can’t repay but he’ll demand whenever he wants. This is not love, it’s a means of control.

He threatened me of divorce. I started the divorce
I never understood why my lying, cheating narcissist never threatened divorce. Now I can see it was his fear of abandonment and the fact he was not capable of loving anyone, so he was never going to have a healthy relationship with me or anyone else, so why leave?
Everyday I go through this
I left my Narc 3 weeks ago... the fog is only just starting to clear. I'm starting to see how crazy and abusive the relationship was. My nervous system and anxiety are starting to calm. Some days are harder than others...but I'm really proud of myself.
Good luck you can do this!
You should be proud way to go
Its like they hypnotise you have you under some kind of spell. But after a while the pattern recognition becomes to much to ignore. I lost 18 kilos in weight and I wasnt even over weight. He said I was to fat then he didnt find me attractive anymore because I went so thin because of him. Nervous system was all over the place. And the 3 lots of anti biotics because of Stds he had given me. I finally snapped and had enough last week. When he asked me for the third time to be friends. I left I said I dont remain friends with serial womanising bullying narcissistic cheaters. Ive blocked him on everything. I never eant to lay eyes on him ever ever again. 🆘🙏❤️
It's so strange how clear it is how abusive it was once that fog clears.
When you realize what they did, you have a mental breakdown and everything is foggy and love transforms into rage, hatred, trying to get revenge then you just realize how pathetic they are inside and you move on because you’re worth more than that.
I’m left my narcissist and my anxiety levels are much normal now and my mental health is better my money is going back up I’m getting better luck 🍀 now with anything I do ❤
Smh that's what I'm trying to do now 😢Everything u just said
You changed the circumstances, changed your energy. Your life is bound to changes, that's better than luck

Great idea!!!
And rise we shall!
Rise up no more down with the Narcissist

Amen! 🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼
It's not that they fear abandonment, they want to imprison you and have total control over you. They fear that their prisoner might escape.
I agree
Reminds me of powering the exit gates in a game I play called Dead by daylight! Lol 😂 As soon as the killer knows you’re opening a gate they immediately try everything to stop you from even powering the escape.
Yup! And then, they'll have to find another scapegoat and if not the family turns on each other one-by-one.
My narc mother says she wants me to pack my bags and get out 😂 she just bluffing ?
Yep cuz it does feel like prison that's exactly what it is and they are the warden!
" You will never find another man like " THATS THE POINT !
When i was dumped by my gf i remember saying to her that ” i will never find someone like you 😔”.... she really was the best.
”Time will decide who you meet in life
The Heart decides who you want in your life
BUT
Your behaviour decides who will stay with you ”
💔 lesson to be learned.
Hooo that’s a blessing
Yep,when he said that to me my reply was why the fucknwould I want to find someone else like you? That was said like a true narcissist. He got so pissed and started yelling at me "your evil your evil !"
That is exactly what mine said to me when I dumped him. And I said to him THAT'S MY PLAN TO NEVER MEET ANYONE LIKE YOU 😂
Works both ways hun
Narcissists are never happy
I met one recenlt who just constantly found ways to be pissed off at even hobbies hahaha stop looking for problems haha
Their social media will definitely say otherwise, they try to make themselves look like the happiest people on the planet. The one I was with at least, had to stop looking at her gross social media.
While they're playing you, they're playing themselves.

When people can't cope with reality, they make their own.
All they care about is controlling the narrative and they carefully "edit" the narrative so that they can remain grandiose, special, holier than thou, politically correct, virtuous, intelligent, faithful, innovative/entrepreneurial, like a hero/social justice warrior/generous benefactor....or whatever "starring role" it is they've cast themselves in so that they are in the strongest position to be admired by others.
Above all, they are admiration-seekers, and that can show up a million different ways, depending on the values of the culture around them (and that can also shift depending on who is around at any time).
Yes! One person comes to mind who can’t cope with reality and that is Donald Trump.

This is exactly what has happened with my narcissist personality sister, I couldn't take it anymore the verbal abuse the name calling the physical assaults. Finally I did no contact and she went around telling everyone that she had to discard me. But I'm the only one that knows the truth. And I guess that's all that matters. Still bothers me, but I do have a lot more peace in my life
After leaving my ex, i found out he had been smearing me since we began dating, so basically for 30 years. So, best to leave ASAP. Fewer people will be poisoned against you in the long run. Also, beware of new friends or dates that talk bad about others.
Hugs - that's horrifying.

I agree!! I’ve had to learn the lesson a trillion times with ‘family’ that ANY response, of any kind will be used against you! So will no response at all, especially when they send out their flying monkeys, and they don’t deserve a response either!
Thank you for this comment. I left mine today and hours later I felt guilty, but I knew deep down it is wrong to go back so I’m standing strong.
I am going to leave my husband, I am so scared as he had threatened me with suicide if I ever left him, or he would become an alcoholic or he will leave his job. He says he loves me so much but his actions doesn't match. This is physically making me sick.
Best decision was not to respond. She was out of control, but I had her blocked so she couldn’t reach me. This malignant narcissist stole my son’s brand new Go-Pro, my Hey Dude’s shoes (brand new); and my “Where the Crawdads Sing.”
You can’t really abandon someone who decides to commit adultery and not be faithful. It makes no sense to stay with someone who goes off with someone else.
Yes. They give you stds, huge health problems, mental distress, etc..also financial swindles.
Spot on!
Facts
The one I knew cheated and had a child on her husband 22 yrs ago. He's remarried for 20 year's happily. She still calls him her husband but hasn't seen or spoken to him in 22 years. She wants him back because none of her relationships has panned out.
Trauma bond.
they crave for your attention to be 100% on them and for you to physically be around them all the time, but when you are around they don't care about your need, they don't listen or hear you, and they constantly insult and humiliate you for no reason. I don't understand what pleasure they get out of putting good people into misery.
this!
They want to break your spirits so you won't leave them, not because they love you but because THEY actually NEED YOU. That's why they want to convince their partners of it being the other way around, by hurting them into lowering their self esteem.
You got it... just like the human traffickers!
Its crazy how much chaos narcissists create in this world! Run baby, run!
👍👍👍
THAT’S WHY.... you never tell them you’re leaving. You just leave. So interesting the these people are so brutal with others yet so delicate themselves.
Almost worse is that they expect YOU to treat them like fine China while they’re the bull in your shop
True. I live with my narc mom for 15 years and the only "little better" way to travel or have a day off is to tell her only hours before leaving. When I m back miserable cold shoulders everytime ×_×
👍👍👍👍
It was hard for me to do but I had to do this in my marriage. He would get so angry, didn’t want counseling, was controlling and always threatened to kill me with cyanide. I was afraid to eat anything in the house!!! On top of being a narc, he was clinically diagnosed with schizophrenia and felt that he was a sociopath (his words). Leaving him felt like I was escaping a war zone. I hid out for months at various family members home, had to change phone numbers, can’t access social media since he has made several accounts to harass me, blocked him through email even! It’s been exhausting and he refuses to sign the papers. I’m waiting on a miracle
They are insane
These videos are probably saving my life. Every time I think about getting back with the narcissist I watch one of these videos and adjust my thinking.
girl…same here..i kicked him out 1 week ago and i feel soooo good..ive been binging on these videos..they are helping me sooo much!!! stay strong!!
Same here, I’m so done with this guy, she often hits the nail on the head describing his behaviour and I see more clearly now
You were in a cult, you were brainwashed. That's what it's like! As soon as you doubt that, time to watch Dr R!
Same
same!
I left a narcissist recently, Im proud of myself
I left mine on Valentine's Day.
You should be!! Anybody that has the courage to know their worth and walk away is a winner
I’m proud of you too!
Congratulations.
I think I have narcissistic tendencies too I can go from zero to a hundred in a second
You are so right! My husband threatened divorce twice and told me i can get out one too many times. I finally got fed up with it and told him when you say this it makes me think you’re right. Boy, did he backtrack his statement but it’s too late.
The best thing to do in a relationship like this is to ignore the evil person and trust God to work out a plan.Stay single and independent.
Amen.
And do not be afraid to call the police!
Prayer will help! God has you Rita. God is more than what we can image.
@@taiharris216 lol!
Actually the best thing a person can do is immediately get to work on their own plan and not wait AT ALL.
I feel so guilty for cutting them off. But she manipulated, gaslit, and discarded me. So I left. And my true friends love me without toxicity. It’s so hard to remember this...thank you for this video.
@Richard Wilson thank you💗🥺
I understand the feeling of guilty. I think it's caused by the trama bonding. When you have the feeling it is hard to understand why you would feel that way with someone that treats you like crap. I don't think I will ever understand why. It's like you have to stay mad in your mind about the things they did to you . To not feel guilty. It's quite a mind fuck!
The guilt feeling is normal after a few weeks or so for normal people like us who normally don't just cut loose people in our lives. Trust your instinct. If you experienced being manipulated, gaslight and discard, leaving is a rational decision. You don't deserve to be treated that way. We don't deserve to be treated that way . I'm glad you're out from that toxicity.
Please don’t feel guilty at all you’re doing yourself some justice.
If you went to the coffee shop and the employee punched you in the face every day would you feel guilty for not going there anymore? No, because you made a choice to avoid a bad situation. Nothing to feel guilty about.
Folks, you can't set yourself on fire just to keep somebody else warm. Think about that one. Once you get sick enough of the silent treatment when the narcissist doesn't get his/her way, the verbal/emotional abuse, the drama and neverending games, triangulation, gaslighting etc then you'll know that leaving is the right thing to do for yourselves. Good luck to all of you. I already cut ties several years ago and the benefits were almost immediate. Hoping the rest of you see your worth and put yourselves first for a change.

Love the phrase' can't set yourself on fire just to keep somebody else warm' think I'll adopt that one if you don't mind! I can confirm that life is so much better without them.
So true!
This has been so hard on me
Whatever you allow, will continue.
Adults don't abandon other adults. They make choices.
❤
Right? People break up respectfully everyday. I've never had a problem with any other breakup since I was 16 yrs old. We divided our stuff (as a teen we gave each other's CD's back and hoodies or w/e) and cried and mourned that it didn't work out and we put in notice to our apartment and gave each other time to find a place (adults). . .and then breaking up with a narc has been hell on earth. Restraining orders, then he gives out my personal info and has other people harass me and it will be 3 years in court in January. I've never ever had someone behave this way before. Doing the whole crap talking thing and trying to blame me for everything. All my ex's have never done anything like this. It has always been "We're not together anymore", "It didn't work out", and I didn't talk crap about them and they didn't talk about me. We acted like adults and then there is the narc and he even has his Mom call me names on the phone, like WTF? He's 37! Cut the umbilical cord already.
Yes but it is the narcissist that views it as abandonment
@@secretpookie8134 Then the narcissist has some very significant cognitive distortions and stopped maturing possibly before adolescence from some of the strong abandonment issues on here. This is some major lashing out and trying to assert control over another person due to immaturity and the inability to handle ones own emotions. I know each individual narc has their own time they had maturity issues and their own issues and reasons they feel the way they do, but some cases seem exceptionally extreme. My lawyers and I have dealt with some significant behaviors that made my lawyers come to and ask me "Is he two years old" and I said "Yes, yes he is" because he acts like it with tantrums and two year old behaviors. When you are over 18 but act less than 10 that is a lot of therapy needed.
@@secretpookie8134 Yes, then they sue for financial support.
He told me that it would probably be best if I were to leave, I packed me and my son's things, and was gone by 630pm that day (before he got home from work). Then he calls me to say "I only said that to try and makes things change. I didn't think you were gonna leave the same day". Then he calls me a week later and says "I thought you would've thawed out by now and came back". Nope! I made a video of the day I left, reminding myself that this was the last time. THIS was my chance November 1, 2021.
Smart never forget
Congratulations 🎉🥳🎉 being free and having peace is priceless ❤️💯❤️ Enjoy 🥂🍾
Good for you! He was hoovering you but so glad you stayed strong! Be safe.
They shut off completey when they believe they can no longer feed off you.
Omg that’s what I’m did just totally acts like he doesn’t know me if I message him he will respond sometimes ignore very cold heartless people.
this right here.
Absolutely true...you don’t exist.
@@libraempress2069 exactly
Yes,I agree totally.
Walking away helped me heal. Its one of the few things I've ever done in my life that's brought me great pride.
"You really think you're going to make it without me?" Spot on. Yes, I am actually doing quite well. 😊✌️
Same here--i had 23 years of--all she wanted was money--i was number 3 on her list--her dad was number 1 and (wait for it )---the CAT was number 2--go figure that one .
I tell him "I'd rather live under a bridge, than spend one more day with you."
Lol yup. And child support is gonna suck him dry. So glad the county gis after them
@@jamesmcginn8874 Of course, the Narcissist must Triangulate any way they can. My Narc uses the dog the same way. Giving her all of his attention and affection. Telling me the dog will always come first, to make sure I know my place in his heart. He lives in my home, and would be homeless if not for me. He has lived on my couch for 317 days now. He is looking for work, and then he is to move out. Every day I feel rejection from him. He shames me for my needs, in my own hone. 7.5 years later with him, we barely speak with each other. We ignore each other mostly.He makes sure to tell me he is taking the dog with him when he moves. The dog gives me affection, and I love her very much. The Narc wants create pain through this Triangulation. The Narc will always be triggered to Triangulate
My wife and I are married just over a year. Her parents threw the entire narcissistic book at her just before we got married.
They cut her off financially (they were paying her tuition/schooling) while we were dating (explicitly saying they would pay again once she had broken up with me), dialed the emotional abuse to an 11, blackmailed her into going on multiple "family trips" where they tried to "deprogram" her and convince her to break up.
Long story short, we've been married a little over a year, have a wonderful relationship, are completely financially independent from them, she has a job as a teacher in a highly competitive district.
And she completely severed them months ago.
Never been happier.
Anyway, I just 100% related to your comment there.
"You really think you're going to make it without me?"
*looks around*
"Yeah I think I'll take my chances."
Lol
Just “left” my narcissistic parents for the final time. This was made possible because of the valuable information you gave. Thank you.
Both my narc parents discarded me if you can believe that! My mother Hoovers from time to time.
I cut her off for the final time recently. (New number- blocked her from any form of getting in touch with me again)
It's sad when it's the parents...
Lmao. My narc ex did the same thing. He completely leaves out the part how it was me that simply packed my bags and left one morning. Leaving him standing there. He tells people he “found out something about me” and that’s why we “could no longer be together”.
Lmao. Yeah. He found out I was packing my bags one morning and had rented a car to drive away in, and we could no longer be together because I saw him as the liability and liar that he was.
Wishing you well on your journey forward, QX Roper-Sirvent
Proud of you!
Good for you.
The amount of survivors are on the rise it’s really sad!! This needs to be nipped in the bud. Congratulations 🥳 for anyone who is recovering from narcissist abuse 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️
Half the USA narcissist ever job men and women rich and poor ❤❤❤❤
Its true let's not abandon the abuser ,I left so that he wouldn't leave. He promised me everything would change,They lie nothing will change.
I walked so glad. I was homeless in my car, but finally had peace of mind
You can buy a house ... you can't buy your sanity
🎯INDEED!!!💯
Living in a hotel. Better than the Rollercoaster of abuse.
@@debrasuranyi9393 🎯😌🤦FACTS!
Nah but foreal I feel y’all in the comments! 💯💯 Peace and Love everyone 🌸
Blocked mine on 10 October, haven’t looked back. He’s attempted contact twice through different social media, I read the message, then blocked him there too. The first week or so was hard, but I feel incredible now.
Proud of you‼️💯💯it does feel so much better 😀
Godzilla man streb thank you! ❤️
Blocked him on jan 2020, I blocked him frm everywhere, I received an email yesterday saying that he still misses me. But I ve no contact with him. So difficult but it’s for a better future...👍 all the best sister
We blocked around the same time! I definitely feel sooo much better without this person In my life
great job dont ever look back keep on pushin forward
Abandoning a narcissist is embarrassing and devastating to them. Sooner is better!!
Depends. They move on far quicker, than you. To them, you were just a toy to play with. You and only you will experience full relationship breakdown cycle.
But there is always light at the end of tunnel. If you don´t give up during the phases of breakdown, you will win. Not over him/her, but over yourself. And you will gain confidence in yourself as a result.
@@Morpheus-pt3wq Not always. Some narcissists are quite capable of loving someone genuinely. For those individuals, the loss often ends up being irrecoverable. They'll go on pretending like they're fine to "save face," but on the inside they're falling to pieces over it. Due to the strong focus on the self, they end up in a spiral where they outwardly continue to self-aggrandize but inwardly self-loathe. The two competing mindsets make it almost impossible for them to get help, and even if they were to reach out many psychologists will make several assumptions regarding their sincerity based solely on a narcissistic personality disorder diagnosis being in their medical records.
People like to pretend narcissism is a choice - it's not. Many narcissists don't *want* to be that way, and they secretly lament the fact they are. Lumping them all together and pretending like each and every one of them is only out to use and abuse everyone around them is dehumanizing and cruel, and it only serves to further damage those narcissists who wish they could change but realize they can't do so without help.
How would you feel if someone dismissed your individuality and instead chose to see you through the same lens they see some other demographic through? Would you like being told you have no worth as a human being just because some other people that share a condition with you are monumental douchebags? No, I don't think you would.
@@tek512 Why should i care about someone, who kept dismissing my feelings?
We are adults, not children. And as adults, we have a choice, whose feelings are we gonna respect and whose we will dismiss.
Respect is earned via actions, not words.
Either get help (you are quite exposed, sir), or stop fishing here, because this pool is full of sharks.
@@Morpheus-pt3wq it mostly causes obsession by them as their grandiose ego thinks you'll never leave them.
At their core is absolute shame, so you discarding them is devastating and shines a spotlight on their shame.
My ex had someone lined up immediately, but you bet he still drunk rang me in a sorry state.
The new fuel source didn't fill the hole like he thought it would.
I think a rare few wouldn't care. But the narcissistic structure doesn't normally allow for that.
@@minacerra The 3 narcissistic friends from my experience that I can recall didn't really care when I started to distance myself from them, probably because I was of little importance to them. It is interesting to learn from you that it is rare that narcissistics don't care.
Now I'm kinda curious how my 3 narcissistic friends will react when I become more successful or when they suddenly realize that losing me was a mistake.
I am filing for a divorce from my 15 year Narcissistic husband. We have 4 young kids and 2 have Autism and special needs. I am so utterly heartbroken, but this has to be done. I cannot live this way anymore. This video is such an inspiration. Exactly how he is. And honestly, he was not always this way. He got his way about 10 years ago, worse and worse and angry.
I learned about 1.5 years prior to my wife leaving me. I studied hard and desperately searching for when the true narcissistic behavior started in her. She was the one that gave me the awnser!
She had said, "You haven't been the same since mom died "(her mom,5 years prior.)
Now I see ,I haven't been the same in her eyes since then. I believe her mother,talking on a daily basis, was my wife's narcissistic regulation therapy. Helping to guide her through her overthinking and negativity. The small hurtful things that she would laugh off have always been there. The 20 years together. It was until her mom died that she really started getting out of control and gaslighting me, going silent, doing whatever she wanted. I questioned her about why she would tell people that I was a bad father and husband ,but it was all denied, and she would change the subject, and/or turn it into a screaming match. Only good thing to come out of that was our son recalling her project something she had done onto me.
His eyes were opened to her evil narcissistic behavior. I don't know how I would have made it these past 2 years without him by my side,understanding what truly is going on.
She worked for years on her smear campaign. Has everyone believing I am the one to blame.😢
Well, I'm better off without friends who don't look into false accusations!
Better off without a narcissist too.
Took 5 days to realize how much stress and anxiety she had put on me, and then I knew... No More! I don't want her back, even if she goes to therapy. I love her ,and wish her the best.
The mental and emotional tolls are not worth the part-time,conditional love she would give.💔
I hope your doing fine i know how you feel i left my husband 2 years ago we have 1 Child but the Drama does not stop because of the child... i hope your not dealing with the same!
“No one will ever love you like I did”
“You will never find a better life than this “, I found love after, and I have a peaceful, happy life after getting rid of him.
Spot on I think all of them say that. Plus they say I am so much happier after we broke up. I found a new girlfriend she is so much better than you.
It’s a projection
@@sandalkasimi2354 they're all so textbook, we give them another 10 precious minutes of our lives and they spend it on degrading us some more, that's just dumb as the only way is *up* after having finally rid ourselves of them. 🤦🚮🤸🎠
This the one*
We love to see it! I am glad that you found your happiness 🤗
I just escaped from a narcissictic relationship. Never felt so great before in a long time.
I'm still trying....it's my mother in law ...so I'm slowly abandoning herm.. it's complicated
I didn't know what a narssasist was until about a years or so ago. Once I did everything made since. I was married was 18 yrs to my high school sweet heart. The last time he left me and our kids, he said he wanted a divorce. So about that time was when I figured out what he was, so I said meet me at the courthouse. He has yet to sign papers and I had to get a lawyer. It's awful!
I left the narcissist and she had a new supply in her back pocket. Didnt care. Never will. Its utterly disgusting how these people get through life.
Right mine too, and honestly don’t care
They always do.
Same! 6 years together and he had a new GF in 3 weeks 🤣 I actually feel so bad for her, she won’t realise what’s going on because he’s so subtle! 🥲
Will never run out of suplies as long as they have access to social media
Literally have just been discarded. I’m lying in my bed right now in my empty house that is going up for sale soon. Last year I had two immediate family members pass away & while grieving she cheated on me multiple times & lied about it all.
She eventually confessed & told me, blamed it on her meds & I forgave her. We talked & all I asked was that from here on out that she would be honest with me.
6 months later out of the blue ( after everything seemed fine ) she texts me saying how she hasn’t been happy & just gets up & leaves the kids & I. She then goes with a friend to a concert then two days later checks herself into a mental hospital.
Now don’t get me wrong I’m glad she got help but when she got out all she did was talk about how much she learned & how she has improved. Then goes onto blame me for everything once again, don’t know how much more I can take. I just want to sign the divorce papers…
I left my narc almost 3 years ago after 2 years of abuse. Best thing I could have ever done! ❤
