Anybody that has to turn to RUclips for advice on dealing with narcissists is already suspect. Marcus Aurelius a man with an inner light but not bright enough to stop the gruesome displays at the local amphitheatre. Ho hum, time to make some soup.....
@@Strollmanx Thank you for sharing such a unique perspective! It’s true that there is some contradiction in Marcus Aurelius’ teachings when compared to the societal behaviors of ancient Rome, such as the gruesome spectacles at the amphitheater. However, we should also consider that Stoic philosophy is not about being perfectly executed by its proponents but rather serves as a tool for individuals to better themselves and overcome challenges. As for seeking advice on RUclips, it’s indeed a platform for sharing knowledge and personal experiences. Not everyone has access to other resources, and sometimes hearing from those who’ve faced similar issues can provide invaluable emotional support. What are your thoughts on using modern tools like RUclips to navigate complex relationship challenges?
@@StoicPathways28Better pray to god and in final god come with justice and peace only leave everything on god in final god only come with justice only and peace only.
It’s probably all good advice , but the fact is , they just find the next victim , and usually very quickly . Once they have someone new , you are no longer even an afterthought , until they get upset with the new person , then they may try coming back .
Thanks for sharing! It's true that sometimes when someone new comes along, they won't remember you, but the important thing is that you realized that and protected yourself. Keep up the good work!
Mine already had his plan laid out to go back to his ex - found out he removed my name from the house title????? When he was drunk passed put went through his phone - the plan was laid out months before at the beginning of the smear campaign at church, promised the house to his ex if anything happened to him. He met his ex at a hotel while supposedly being at a sports thing within granddaughter, saw the text - written out was he didn't want me to know about that - wonder why???? Supposed to be home the next morning when I fell and ended up in the ER - texted him about when he would be home for a ride from the hospital - never answered - instead he spent the whole next day tra la la-ing with his ex that day. Came home really late that night - I had to call church friends to get home. Later asked him why he never answered my text - said he didn't see it - this Nan sleeps with his phone in his hand - nothing gets by him. The best was he couldnt remember what he did that day........
This happened to me. Dont worry about who else they found. The same cycle will happen to all others. They will try to Hoover to back when their old supply no longer is of value. Go NO CONTACT, and SILENCE to them!
Davetetlow9698...No debería importarte lo qué haga con su vida, al contrario es mejor para tí. Si qué duele, pero es mejor así que duela, eso pasará. Desahacerse de esos demonios es lo mejor qué pueda pasar, aunque duela. Mi experiencia con mi ex narcisista de un día al otro y con total frialdad me dijo...."quiero que me des el divorcio" yo... pensé que bromeaba por la forma en que lo dijo, sin más ni más, él prosiguió: " te quiero, pero ya no te amo, me he enamorado de alguien más y además ella me va a dar un hijo" yo no podía tener hijos. Me tragué mi orgullo, me tragué mis lágrimas y me divorcié. Karma los visitó a ellos dos muy pronto, porque al nacer el bebé empezaron grandes problemas entre ellos dos, tanto que se andaban matando y él fué a parar a la cárcel. Un día me llamó el muy sinvergüenza para pedirme qué fuera hablar con el juez y corroborar qué él fué un gran esposo para mí. Mi respuesta fué NO. Me dejaste por ella...ahora disfrútala. Ella, la nueva víctima también muy sinvergüenza me llamó para qué yo, como mujer me pusiera de su parte. También mi respuesta fué: NO, ya se te olvidó que hantes de divorciarme me dejabas mensajes al teléfono de mi casa...diciendo que te la habías pasado maravillosamente con mi esposo? Púes síganse disfrutando mucho y escúchame bien...tú sobretodo tú, te la vas a pasar cómo nunca en tu vida, te deseo qué lo disfrutes y qué nunca se te olvide el mal qué ambos hicieron.
Wow, that was an incredibly brave decision! You have come out of a difficult situation and are now getting your life back. Stay strong and love yourself. This new life will bring you great opportunities.
We need to find our boundaries, however in my experience when you state it to a narcissist it doesn't compute. Inner work is gold, and if you can laugh it off out of pitty at least inwordly you open up to your own power 😊
Narcissists never expect you to stand up for yourself or move on without them. It’s empowering to realize that when you take back control of your life, it’s something they can never truly recover from. They might think they can manipulate or gaslight their way out, but seeing you thrive is their ultimate regret. Powerful stuff!
“The greatest freedom is breaking free from what you can’t control.” When you stand up and grow, they’re forced to face their own failure. Your success is the clearest proof!
My son married an abusive narcissist, and he lets her control him to the point of allowing her to be abusive to me also. She resents anyone else being in his life, and covets all of his time, and he does not put his foot down. There's been a rift for 4 years over her wanting an apology from me for something I didn't do. If they can ever get you to do that, there will be no end to it. It's come down to my having to go "no contact" with not only her, but my son as well. After a lifetime of family narcissists, and my being in recovery for complex trauma and panic disorder as a narcissist survivor, I don't need any of this anymore.
Thank you for sharing your heartfelt and candid story. Facing a situation like this is truly not easy. Choosing 'no contact' can be a difficult but necessary step to protect your mental health and peace of mind. Your journey of recovery from the traumatic experiences with narcissists is a clear testament to your inner strength and courage. I hope you continue to find peace and strength in your healing journey. If there is anything this community can do to support you, please know that you are not alone
There's no need to feel embarrassed! We all learn from our mistakes and experiences in life. Realizing and deciding to take the path of silence is a big step, and you're doing great. What matters is that you've recognized this and continue learning to protect yourself. You're becoming stronger every day!
I was so devastated after I got discarded and I wish I'd just kept silent and stopped trying to work things out. He had already replaced me so it wouldn't have mattered as he already had a new source of supply.
@Clasdykrafty It's hard. It is very hard, especially when I always did all the talking (he's worse than an introvert), and he sat back collecting data.
If we don’t learn then we can’t evolve. I used to beat my self up when I allowed the same behaviour time and time again. Even my last one in my 50s , it was easier to spot the bad behaviour from experience yet I felt I was on a mission to call him out as he was on a different level altogether but I knew him at age 11 for a few months and he didn’t have a good reputation then, but I questioned him about it at the start and told him he was hurtful to me and other girls at the time but he wouldn’t accept it and blamed others from school for his behaviour 😂. I went along with it but I know he was lying from day one, yet I stayed with him for over a year, like a private detective. I soon realised that everything he said happened to him by others like myself that he was the one who had treated them the way he made up it was him being the victim, he started doing everything he claimed his exs did to him to me 😂, he was worse than I remembered and realised he has now got a police record for stalking me and threatening and harassment towards me, but it’s taught me a big lesson and that’s to walk away sooner my health is my wealth but I’m still a survivor ❤
I had to take legal action against my narcissistic sister. over money. I won my case. Now she does not want anything to do with, me and tries to blame me. Trust me, "Greed " for money can affect and hurt families
Thank you for sharing your story! Dealing with a narcissistic family member, especially over money, is undoubtedly a significant challenge. Winning your case demonstrates your resilience and your ability to stand up for yourself. However, the emotional scars left on families can be profound. I hope you find peace and continue building your life. Remember, clarity and boundaries are essential to protect yourself in situations like these.
My x owes me alot of money. He has bled his family dry also. He tried to borrow from friends. Arrogant, entitled, lazy, workshy...a liar and manipulator, deceitful and secretive. He is near 60 and living with his parents...the enablers.

I was the epitome of the little green mouse hiding under the table of my family of six! Never any respect, never appreciated. These people lie and stole and use other people for their own gains and then cut them off. I did not follow down this path because I went to pharmacy school when I was 17 in Philadelphia and I was never back in their clutches.😎
Jesus didn't create the universe He was just a man, God sent to the lost wicked people Essentially a Prophet but to call him a God is outright ridiculous
Practice Silence is the Best to Narcissistic or rude people. Zero waste emotions and energies would help to stay calm. - They can’t use the people who reserve their energies and values. Mirror them back can be Fun like to be their level once while.
Certainly, by not allowing them to exploit your emotions and energy, you are not only protecting yourself but also showing inner strength. Keeping quiet helps you maintain your values and not get caught up in their games.
@ Thank for responding and making great videos. Your hard work would educate people who suffer without knowing. Training myself to focus on things that would value my life is still not easy. I realize that my emotions and personality attracted to people love to control over. I’m so used to used. That feels familiar. Feeling uncomfortable to change my behavior still challenging to me. Little by little, I enjoy my own power and freedom now.
It was Fun. Watching him squirm, pointing out his behaviors over the years that he should be so ashamed of ( Shame rules them!!! ) Pointing out truths like he hasn't any real friends, his family doesn't like to be around him,....and ( the Best One!!) Telling him, and he Knows it's True, that when his 6 yr old gets older and Realizes WHAT he is, he'll stop loving him and want Nothing to do with him. Soooo fun to watch him twist in the wind ... ... ... ...
My situation is that I have to live with one. I' m 74 and he resents me being here. He doesn't want me here .He's spiteful and mean .we live in a decrepit house and to spite me, he's letting the house rot down . Parts of the ceiling has fallen down on my head. He has turned the living room into a storage. He want even try to clean anything.. I've wanted to leave but can't afford to live anywhere because of my low income. He hates doing anything for me. But here's the thing, he claims to a chtistian, so self-righteousness. He will do any thing his pastor ask of him. He's at church all the time. His church is his family, So I don't say anything to him, I been silent for three months but it doesn't matter to him. I miserable living here and he likes it. Wish I had a way out of this situation, I pray to God to help me endure and keep me strong.
I am so sorry to hear that you are going through such a difficult situation. Living with someone who is toxic and neglectful can be extremely painful, especially when you cannot leave due to financial reasons. It is admirable that you are remaining strong and silent, but I can only imagine the negative impact it is having on you. I know you are in a difficult situation, but please do not forget that you are a valuable person and deserve a loving and respectful place to live. You have the strength to move forward, and I hope that over time you will find the support and resources to change your situation. Continue to pray for guidance, and ask God to give you strength. If you need someone to talk to, I am here for you. 👉 The Glossary of Narcissistic Relationships: ruclips.net/p/PLEQjqlMmS8Hfq8XArnj9wGLggG2NYjeD-
You have to get out somehow, can you contact a social service of some kind. Surely there is an elderly helpline that can engage with you to help with getting you out of this nightmare.
I SAID NO TO MANIPULATE NARCISSISTS…..I have very strong boundaries. I’ll not allow anyone to disrespect me. PERIOD 🙏. I Love myself 🥰 with Peace & Confidence with GOD by my side 🙏🥰🙏.
Congratulations on creating such strong and secure boundaries! Knowing your self-worth and not allowing anyone to manipulate or disrespect you is a huge step in your journey to mental health and peace in your life. You are doing a great job of loving and respecting yourself, which will not only help you avoid toxic relationships but will also help you develop confidence and resilience. When we protect ourselves from negative influences, it is how we create a safe and loving space. God is with you, guiding and supporting you every step of the way. Continue to stay strong and steadfast, you deserve a life filled with peace, happiness and freedom.
Thank you for sharing your story. After 44 years, making the decision to divorce is undoubtedly challenging, but it’s a brave and strong step. You deserve peace and happiness in your life. Take care of yourself, and know that you’re on the path to regaining your freedom and true worth. If needed, seek support from family, friends, or the community. Wishing you strength and peace ❤
NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO NEVER GET IN THE MUD WITH A PIG( I WISH I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW )THEY LOVE YOU TO ROLL AROUND IN THE MUD WITH THEM & FEEL HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THEMSELVES MY EX HUSBAND/ NARCISSIST WAS THAT PIG UNTIL I WALKED AWAY & WENT NO CONTACT NO MORE GENUINE ADMIRATION LOVE OR ATTENTION GAME OVER
You are truly strong and resilient when you recognize the nature of manipulation and decide not to participate in those games anymore. Walking away and refusing to return is a courageous and smart move. You have taken back control of your life and protected your heart and soul from unnecessary hurt. Remember, no one has the right to make you feel unworthy of love, respect, and peace. You absolutely deserve a life filled with joy, freedom, and healthy relationships, free from manipulation and hurt. Continue to be strong and steadfast, because you are on the right path and deserve all the best!
Thank you for sharing this profound perspective! You are absolutely right when you say "no good deed goes unpunished." It is an important lesson about realizing that our value comes not from others but from within ourselves and from God. Forgiving, loving, and then ceasing to cast your pearls before those who are undeserving is a powerful step to protect your peace and happiness. Wishing you continued strength and peace on this journey! 🙏💖
My entire family has Scapegoated me since birth. My brother & father were hateful & alike. It wasn't UNTIL seeing the Glee & Joy within my mothers evil smirk , her happiness never seen harmony like she DERIVES from the harm of me , that i really KNEW her saying she loves me was just to pull the rug out from under me over & over again...
It’s truly heartbreaking to face such a lack of respect and genuine love from family. Especially when you realize that someone you thought loved you actually finds joy in your pain. However, the fact that you recognize this is an important step in your healing journey. You don’t deserve to endure this manipulation and harm. You deserve to be loved and respected in the right way. Keep protecting yourself and don’t let them bring you down. You are stronger than you think.
Only God can save you from a narcissist we should never ask God why this happened but it did married at 23 / 55 years you can imagine what I went to thank God he's with me now I was following a false god all my life scared to death of being alone now think about that and here I am for the grace of God and I'll never leave Jesus Christ my Lord it's never too late with God
One of life's largest Blessings is recalling my MOMster SAYING just how different I was and thusly treated so so differently! I will forever celebrate THAT statement for the fact that EACH Day I'm a more LIKELY candidate to receive GRACE! The big HOLY rollers not so MUCH, ever....
my entire family are severe narcissists! I truly believe that I did not become one because I moved out of the house when I was 17 to go to pharmacy school in Philadelphia. I have never been back whereas my three siblings clung onto the teat of the family. very sad, but I am so happy that I left when I did, I became my own person living in the light of God! 🙏
Congratulations for having the courage to leave a toxic environment and finding the light in your life! Holding onto your self-worth and living in the light of God is a beautiful journey. Sometimes, we need to break free from the negative influences of our family in order to grow and thrive. You made a very strong and admirable decision. Keep living with determination, and know that you deserve a life filled with love and peace.
Exciting video, A year ago i took the no contact route, well i wouldn't say it didn't go well, but i missed her and sometimes you have to leave your comfort zone and go for what you want, Without knowing and having a huge ego, we might actually miss out on our soul mate all in the name of not settling for less, I know who i am, and at the same time i know what i want for me, so i did all i could to get her back, and I must say, it was the best decision i have ever made, we have been together again for over 7 months, yes marriage isnt always rosey, but i am lucky to have her, just as she is to have me, we compliment each other.
its difficult to let go of someone you love, i am in a similar situation, and i do not know what else do to have him back, i have been dying inside, people actually think i am happy, i am not.
I feel your pain sister, after trying out the no contact experiment that failed miserably, i had to find other means, i had to reach out to a spiritual adviser, it was brilliant idea which i never thouht it was, but it worked wonders for me.
Thank you for sharing! Forgiveness is truly a powerful act, not only freeing your soul but also helping you overcome the wounds of the past. It’s not a sign of weakness but a way to affirm your worth and reclaim your peace. Keep walking this strong path-you deserve happiness and true freedom.
I learned when u feel sorry for them.. that's when they lose their control over u... I'm still broken 💔.. hasn't been long since I finally left after five years... I feel bad for the woman who don't realize they're with a narcissist and stay in hell for years so sad we gotta help each other cuz frfr we all we got... no one will ever understand unless they lived it.. how could they? it's really unbelievable! unreal! still can't wrap my head around the whole thing.
Sometimes, keeping quiet and keeping your distance is how we protect ourselves, even though it may feel awkward. But you are doing the necessary thing to maintain your self-respect and protect yourself.
Me too ,I hate him for what he’s done to me. I cannot contain my anger at what he’s put my family through. I’m a pretty soft hearted person but he brings out the worst in me .I can’t even talk to him with a civil tongue.
Ex narc discarded me out of the blue for his ex who he swore he hated. He told me mid week and by the weekend he went public w his ex. Disappeared from my life for about 6 months. In that time he saw me once from far away and pretended he didn’t see me. About 2 months into those 6 months he told some of my family members he missed “things” from the past and that going back to his ex wasn’t going as he expected. At about month 6 he texted me apologizing. His apology was insincere full of lies. He blamed everyone and everything for what had happened but not in one second took any accountability for his actions, Even though everything that happened was his fault. I listened to him, but was cold and distant with him. He played the sad victim role. I didn’t baby him anymore I kept my cool but I refuted every lie he said. He said he loved me and missed me and that he was just w his ex for a reason he hadn’t told me about but he didn’t love her 😒. I told him I didn’t believe his lies anymore. Few days later, He kept offering unsolicited help w things around my house. He weirdly kept insisting on buying me gifts. I kept saying no but he kept insisting which made me feel uncomfortable with time. Until I eventually told him, thank you for the offerings but I will not accept any gifts or help from him ever again. He left and never heard from him again. If I could go back and do something different, I wish I wouldn’t have answered his texts or call after he discarded me but I did because I wanted an apology and to hear his point of view. His pathetic apology in a way helped me realize he is a liar and will never change but it would have been better not to have listened to him. In my defense, I didn’t know at this point much about narcissistic personality/abuse etc. It wasn’t till after he disappeared again that I started to learn about this behavior. I doubt he’ll ever comeback because I know he was upset I said NO to his gifts, but if he ever does I know now not to answer. My life has gotten so much better and I’m at peace. My happiness is coming back and I no longer miss him.
Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt and genuine story. You’ve shown incredible strength by standing your ground and rejecting his manipulative attempts. Gaining awareness of narcissistic behavior is a huge step forward, and it’s wonderful to see that you’ve reclaimed your peace and happiness in life. Your story is a powerful source of inspiration for others going through similar situations. Always remember that you deserve so much better. Thank you for sharing, and I wish you continued success on your healing journey!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so glad to know that my sharing has brought value to you. Your journey is very precious, and I believe that you have the strength to overcome all challenges. I wish you to always stay resilient and continue to move forward, where opportunities and happiness await. You absolutely deserve a life filled with peace, joy and prosperity!
Thank you so much for sharing your deeply emotional story. The behavior you described is truly a classic example of how narcissists manipulate and hurt others. It’s important that you’ve recognized their nature and don’t blame yourself. Please continue to value yourself and focus on building a more peaceful life. We are very grateful that you’ve shared this experience with the community
Exactly, you don’t need to go back to anything that hurt you. Choosing not to go back is the best way to protect yourself and maintain your peace. You deserve a better life, free from the negativity of the past. Keep moving forward with strength-you’ve made the right decision!
You're very welcome! I'm glad to hear that you found the advice helpful. Remember, protecting your peace and setting boundaries is essential, especially when dealing with people who are manipulative or toxic. You deserve to feel valued and respected in any relationship, and using your words and actions to assert your self-worth is a powerful step forward. Take things one day at a time, and be kind to yourself in the process. You've got this! 💪🌟
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! You are absolutely right-100% no contact is crucial to protecting yourself from negative influences. By blocking all channels of communication, you’re creating the necessary space to heal and regain peace. We hope you continue to stay strong on this journey!
I'm so glad you like the word 'liberation'! It's a powerful word, representing freedom and the ability to break free from control and negative influences. When you can liberate yourself from toxic relationships, you will feel lighter and freer than ever. Keep moving on your path to freedom and peace!
I apologized to the covert narcissist, and said "i was sorry for how things went", but at the same time I wished her well. She was speechless, but I haven't heard from her since. I avoid encounters and blocked all contacts. :) There is a price to be paid for an unnecessary apology ;)
Congratulations on being brave enough to stand up for yourself and protect your peace! Sometimes, offering an apology isn’t because we are at fault, but to end a relationship full of tension. However, when dealing with manipulators, silence and distance are the best ways to protect your peace. Not allowing them to control your emotions and life is a strong and admirable choice. You deserve a life of freedom, unhindered by toxic people
I get as cold as ice and this religious person said that I shouldn’t react in such a way. However, that has always helped me and I’ve seen him do the same thing to people who cross him. I’m realizing the religious person, he’s also a narc and trying to control me
Thank you for sharing your story and awareness! Becoming cold can be your way of protecting yourself from negative influences. The important thing is that you’ve recognized the manipulative behavior from others, no matter how they appear externally. Always trust your feelings and boundaries, and continue to stand strong to protect your freedom and peace.
My sister, run as fast as you can.. I had a religious one we attend the same church. And he is definitely a wholf in sheep clothing. He is so busy at his job with multiple women, when in church he is such a man of God.
Thank God that you're a strong woman. Be careful he will come back with his warm hugs. Acting like a little child that needs love, playing the victim in every situation. You forgive him , and the controlling starts again. I have been there... stay blessed and stay strong.
Leaving immediately when someone becomes aggressive is the best way to protect yourself. Always remember that you have the right to live in peace and safety, and no one has the right to violate that.

Wow. Exactly. I showed no emotions whenever I speak with my covert narcissistic mother and overt narcissistic father. Actually I wonder why they speak less either, and no rage anymore.
Thank you for sharing your experience! Not showing emotions is a very powerful way to deal with narcissistic behavior. It’s possible that your lack of reaction has made them feel they can’t control you anymore, leading to their reduced anger. Keep maintaining this calm and strength, and always prioritize your mental well-being!
Thank you for sharing! Keeping evidence and taking legal action is a crucial step in protecting yourself. I hope you receive the support you need from the law and find safety and peace in your life. Wishing you lots of strength on this journey!
You are so welcome ! I'm so glad to hear that the video helped you. The healing process is never easy, especially when someone is still trying to hurt you. However, your awareness and refusal to get pulled into their games is a powerful sign of resilience. Remember, you deserve to live in peace, free from manipulation and toxicity
You got this! I’m so glad you found the video helpful! Recognizing and deciding to remove a narcissist from your life is such an important step in protecting both your peace and happiness. You deserve a healthy relationship, full of respect and love. Keep moving forward, you’re doing great at protecting yourself and the ones you love
I find using their tactics against them works better! Keep them confused by spoiling them then ignoring them change back and forth! Tell them you want it then it costs you this to get it and I get mine first! Go places by yourself or see friends without them there! Keeping them guessing and confused drives them crazy! They get mad laugh, they play victim you play quiet just say OK I’m a bully! Always show yourself in your best and happy without giving them your happiness! Do the opposite but don’t raise your voice just agree then walk away and continue your routine! But remember they won’t change if you can leave if you can’t work against them in low vibration just agree, make promises you don’t keep and just live your best life in front of them! They can’t take their own medicine! Let them stew but don’t do it aggressively! Calm, stern and agreeable then just ignore and walk away in the best mood you can even hummmm or sing!
This is a very interesting and creative perspective! You’ve shared intelligent and skillful strategies to stay in control in difficult situations. I really appreciate how you emphasize staying calm, managing emotions, and not letting them take away your happiness. The "calm yet not easily manipulated" attitude you mentioned is truly an art! Thank you for sharing this approach; I think many people can learn from it
I started figuring him out, when he never said I am sorry or apologizing for his rants which have been outrageous! I never apologized because I had nothing to apologize except getting a job out of town, which he has been harboring jealousy and revenge against me. He finally told me. Now, he is having to retire, and he doesn't want to so he is fighting with his colleagues who hate him.
It’s not easy dealing with someone who refuses to apologize and holds onto jealousy. However, you’ve been very resilient by not apologizing for things you didn’t do wrong. Remember, you deserve to be treated with respect and not let anyone manipulate your emotions
That’s amazing! The way you choose to remain silent and keep your calm, like a character from Jane Austen, is an incredibly graceful and strong way to protect yourself. Sometimes, silence and indifference are the most powerful responses. You deserve relationships that respect and value your time. Keep maintaining your peace and don’t let anyone disturb your life!
Thank you for sharing such an interesting perspective! It’s true that narcissists’ insecurities often trap them in their own cycles. Recognizing this not only makes you stronger but also helps you maintain control and freedom in your life. Stay strong and don’t let them affect you!
Easier said than done when I am 91 and they are my children. My children abandoned me when I finally had enough of their disrespect. Being completely alone when I was always the giver, after I reach the point of needing help is not easy.
Thank you for sharing your story; I truly empathize with your situation. Being disrespected and abandoned by your children, especially at a time when you need help the most, is incredibly heartbreaking. You’ve always been a giver, and that speaks volumes about your noble heart. Despite the difficulties, I hope you can find people around you or a community to support and accompany you. You don’t deserve to face loneliness, and I believe there are still those willing to share and help. Wishing you strength and peace in life.
If you have savings, sell your home find an assisted living place to live. Apply for any funding assistance you can apply for, and pray daily for Jesus to guide you. If you do not want to leave your home, then advertise to have someone that works for a elderly aid business to pay to come in a few days a week for help. I see elderly all the time with people that help them shop, clean their home, wash clothes, run errands, and just communication.
I'm so glad to hear that my advice was helpful to you! You’ve done really well by deciding to listen and take steps to protect yourself. Keep moving forward on your journey and remember that you deserve a life full of peace and happiness. If you need more support, don’t hesitate to reach out to those who understand and share with you
(12:03) This part of the video talking about how they "twist events" to make you question yourself even when facts prove you have done nothing wrong reminds me of narcissism at work. I work as a behavioral therapist for kids with autism. The clinical and program director had a meeting with me about my two cases. I could not believe how they would focus on these minor, minor (subjective) details during successful sessions and kept trying to insist that these were egregious errors on my part. Like the kid climbed on the couch, but the mother was there too, sitting on a different section of the L-shaped sofa. She said and did nothing, because her daughter probably climbs on the couch all the time. The narcissistic directors kept trying to affirm that I endangered the child. Mentioning that the mother was there in close proximity did nothing to change their position. Also, when I mentioned that the mother often introduces books and materials she knows the little girl likes and engages in (because it is VERY difficult to capture this child's focus and attention) the program director tried to twist the narrative, saying that the mother basically was leading the session which was absolutely NOT true. I would have appreciated it if they presented fair, undistorted facts, or listened to my side of the story without trying to focus on blaming me by exaggerating minor details. I have also been at jobs, where the narcissist has me following one set of directions. So I do them to the best of my ability. And then they have the nerve to blame me because the opposite of those directions were not fulfilled. The sick part is that they know what they are doing. They did not forget what they originally said. So many companies run off of narcissistic consciousness which jeopardizes people's jobs. I blame the government for failing to give legal rights to decent employees to protect themselves and their income. It's like the state and federal government just enables dangerous, narcissistic behavior. At-will employment (the right to terminate jobs for no, or ridiculous reasons) gives narcs a dangerous, dangerous weapon against innocent people, feeding their addiction to abusing power.
Thank you so much for sharing your detailed and insightful experience! What you highlighted truly reflects the sad reality in many work environments. The behavior of distorting facts, exaggerating faults, and shifting blame not only causes mental pressure but also severely impacts the confidence and work of diligent, dedicated individuals. I hope the content in this video continues to help you understand and find ways to protect yourself against these dangerous narcissistic behaviors. Thank you for courageously sharing your story!
@@StoicPathways28 Thank you. It really helps to watch videos like this because at least viewers know they are not the only ones experiencing these behaviors. I think that diligent, dedicated people deserve financial stability and more respect at work. Aside from going from job to job, I am hoping we can invest more time into building up our own businesses, work harder than the narcs so we have outputs that are in more demand than their efforts, basically working hard to position ourselves higher than them, becoming more business and commercially minded. Secondly I am finding state legislation that only speaks against workplace abuse. Lawyers tell me that these are not enforceable. I spoke to my local law library and the rep said that the laws are slowly changing because there are many smaller laws and also new changes. Most lawyers don't even research things regularly or stay updated with new laws and then they use gaslighting to affirm that they are correct.
I’m going through the beginning of no contact but he also will not contact me I’m sick over this we’ve been together 11 years and I’m a mess. I’m sad angry and wish I could just let go but I can’t. I’m struggling with fact that he doesn’t love or care about me. I put my heart in sole into this relationship and I’m loyal.
Thank you for sharing your feelings. It’s never easy to move on from an 11-year relationship, especially when you’ve invested so much love and loyalty into it. Letting go can be incredibly difficult, but it’s also the first step toward rediscovering yourself and moving toward a more peaceful future. Remember, you deserve to be loved and cared for in the right way. If needed, seek support from loved ones or professionals to help you navigate this tough time. Wishing you strength and inner peace as you move forward
I’m so glad to hear that you’ve recognized your worth! You deserve love and respect, and remembering your value is such an important step in becoming stronger. Always trust in yourself and keep moving forward on your journey. Thank you for sharing your feelings! ❤
Great video! I finally told my husband, to leave, go to the farm house, you didn't fix, would'nt let me fix it, so there he is going to live. He calls me to see if I need anything. Now, I can sleep better, no dinner to have to worry about, no going to 10 stores a day for dinner. He never takes out. And he is a drunk, to boot, along with his rants of rage.
I’m so glad you’ve found peace in your life. Sometimes, standing up and clearly stating what you need is the best way to protect your mental and emotional well-being. You did the right thing by not allowing yourself to continue suffering.
@RFJersey no, I didn't leave him. Yes, I cook all the time, so he always has food. You missed the point, he is unhappy with himself, and comes home angry because he doesn't want to retire.
Thank you for sharing such an accurate perspective! Exposing the true nature of a narcissist is a powerful way to ensure they no longer control you. I hope you continue to stand your ground and enjoy a life of freedom, free from negative influences.
@StoicPathways28 it sounds easier than it is. My ex-wife was a very attractive woman. Even a handful of my family members believed her outlandish projection of her actions onto me stories as well as law enforcement and the courts. I had her tailed by a PI. The information collected enabled me to win full custody of my children. At the end of the trial, the judge stood me up and admonished me, stating that he was not happy to award this to me because I'm no better and probably worse than her. I refused to talk to her, insisting on text only, for 6 years. She took me back to court for shared parenting. Again, she had the judge eating out of her hand. Again, I hired a PI again not telling even my own attorney just like last time. She was caught on film being in contempt of court. The Judge did not grant her shared parenting. He granted her EVERYTHING that shared parenting is made of... minus 2 days a month. It only took the first time we ended up alone cleaning up after my sins birthday party on a day one of the men she was cheating with, now living with, was left home. She took all her clothes off and made overture of how true her love is for me and begging to get back together. I said no. I could not forgive her for the severe damage she did to my son, me, and the embarrassment of her actions since. 2 weeks later, she married her supply. Now, almost 2 years into their marriage, he is in a living hell. And he started drinking heavily with multiple hands on fight with them beating the heck out of each other in public as well as home. She now terribly mistreats my 11 yo son. When hands were laid on him by both... I reacted as a father would, only to do what I did before and fall right into her trap. She made sure witnesses were positioned when I arrived to pick him up, and the supply even started pushing me. At that point, I decided to fight fire with fire. In 3 months I sent out 3 texts, one each month to her family, her 19 yo son, the supply, the supply's family of her horrendous acts of cheating with supplies best friend, getting fired from her leadership.position for showing up intoxicated x2 and caught in an affair with a young man under her direction, as well as her cheating with two of the supplies cousins. Since, she has abandoned my son, blocked all communication, started a new job 1 hour away. Her husband ended up in the hospital under suspicious circumstances and she has not been seen in a week. I believe I have finally rid myself of her, but at an extraordinary price. I am almost broke now, but I can now raise my son without her mentally wrecking him just to hurt me. It was worth all the money I paid to get this information. And no one ever had an inkling how terrible she could be. Now they all know.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I'm glad to know that this video has helped you. Wishing you continued strength as you protect yourself from those who don't deserve your time.
Thanks for sharing! Strong friends can be a great shield to protect yourself from toxic people. Always remember that you have the right to love and cherish those who truly care about you.
Thank you for sharing your situation; I truly understand that it’s not easy when you lack a close support network. Facing a narcissist in such circumstances requires a lot of patience and strength. You might consider seeking support from online communities or professional counseling organizations to help you through this. Remember, you’re not alone, and there are always ways to protect yourself and your children. Wishing you strength and hoping you find the right solution soon!
Don't believe for a second that the narcissist doesn't have a replacement all ready and waiting for them. These tactics can help salvage what little self esteem you may have left, but as for disempowering a narcissist? Nah....Dream on. Walk away and preserve your life and your integrity..
The fact that they have a replacement doesn’t matter, what matters is that you’ve recognized your worth and walked away to protect yourself from further harm
Thank you so much! I’m really glad my advice could be helpful to you. Keep staying strong and protecting yourself. Your life deserves to be full of peace and happiness. Wishing you strength and continued growth on your journey!
My question is "Do narcissists feel 'sacred' things similar to most of the rest of us?". I have noticed that Trump seeks out things that we as a society view as sacred, cemetaries, cathedrals, respect for veterans, societal conventions and he often publically defiles these objects of veneration. My unfortunate relationship with a narcissist also revealed a contempt for sentimentality. Is it because the narcissist is not capable of having the feelings that sacred objects inspire in the rest of us?
Thank you for asking such an interesting and profound question! Narcissists often lack the ability to feel deep emotions or reverence for things we consider sacred. This may stem from their lack of empathy and their tendency to focus solely on themselves. They might view sacred values as tools for manipulation or self-promotion rather than truly appreciating their deeper meaning. Your observation is very thought-provoking and can help many people better understand narcissistic behavior.
It’s truly heartbreaking to see that, but what’s important is that you recognized it and got out of that situation. They will always move on to their next victim, but you’ve protected yourself. The fact that you were able to recognize and step away shows your strength and decisiveness. Keep taking care of yourself and moving forward on your new path, you deserve a life free from manipulation
What do you do when your adult offspring is the narcissist, the problem is dire, and it's either the relationship as it is or no relationship at all? Because I'm at the latter point, and I know this situation far, FAR more intimately than other family are aware of.
Thank you for sharing this challenging story. Dealing with a narcissist, especially when it’s an adult child, is truly difficult. If the situation has reached a point where maintaining the relationship harms your well-being, setting boundaries is essential. Protecting your mental health and peace of mind should be a priority. If possible, consider seeking support from a mental health professional to help navigate this situation in a healthy way. You’re not alone, and I hope you find a resolution that brings you peace
Thank you for sharing such an accurate observation! Narcissists don’t truly regret their actions but only feel remorse when they lose their source of supply for their ego. Their tendency to distort reality and blame us is also a common manipulative tactic. I hope the video has helped you better understand this and find peace as you move past such toxic relationships.
Thank you so much for sharing! Recognizing these behaviors is an important step in understanding your past relationship and learning how to protect yourself in the future. I hope the content of the video has given you more insights and the strength to move forward with confidence and freedom!
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful perspective. Indeed, the justice and peace from God are profound sources of strength during challenging times. Trusting in God and waiting for His justice is a way to keep our souls at peace and avoid being drawn into negativity. Thank you for reminding us of the importance of faith and hope.
My narcissistic mans downfall was that I am smarter than him,so I caught on quickly and dumped/blocked him. Good thing is he’s in a city 5hrs away. So I won’t run into him
Thank you for sharing your story! You did an excellent job by quickly recognizing the issue and protecting yourself by ending the relationship and setting strong boundaries. Maintaining that geographical distance surely provides you with a sense of safety and peace of mind. I hope you continue to hold onto your confidence and clarity as you move forward!
THIS WOULD ALL BE GREAT IF HE DIDNT CONTROL ALL THE FINNANCES & MY JOB DOESNT PAY ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET OUT. ANY ADVICE ON MY SITUATION & I HAVE NO FAMILY TO ASK FOR HELP & IM 56 YEARS OLD .😔
Indeed, not having control over finances and lacking family support is an incredibly tough situation. However, you are truly strong for recognizing the problem and looking for ways to break free. One piece of advice is to start by seeking help from organizations that support victims of domestic abuse or non-profit groups that can assist you in protecting yourself and finding financial solutions. Additionally, consider looking into remote work opportunities or freelance work, where you can earn income independently. While your current situation is very challenging, you deserve a life of freedom and happiness. Stay resilient, and remember that you’re not alone in seeking help

Thank you for sharing! Truly, living with narcissistic parents is no small challenge, especially as they age and become even more rigid.

You are not alone in this journey, and every small step you take to maintain your peace is a significant victory. Wishing you continued strength, resilience, and the ability to find serenity in life!
Thank you for sharing your honest feelings. Sometimes, videos like this can lead us to self-reflect and question ourselves, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The fact that you’re questioning and reflecting on your behavior is already a sign of awareness-something a true narcissist often doesn’t do. Give yourself time to gain better understanding, and if needed, consider speaking with a professional for a more objective perspective. Wishing you strength and peace. Gain insight into the psychological games narcissists use to control others.

Indeed, identifying narcissists isn't always clear, as they can often hide their true nature. However, if you feel their behavior is continuously causing harm and they have no intention of changing, that’s the moment you need to recognize that it's time to distance yourself. Protecting yourself and not getting caught up in their mind games or manipulation is crucial. You deserve a life filled with respect and love, and when you recognize toxicity, it’s important to be strong and decisive in protecting yourself
You can not be a narcissist. It a code in the DSM-3-4-5 dumb ass. The best way to treat a human is ignoring them, treating them with silence. Great relationship advice.
Thank you for your contribution! Indeed, according to the DSM, narcissistic personality disorder is a clinical diagnosis, but in practice, narcissistic behaviors can still cause harm to others without an official diagnosis. Silence is a way for us to maintain peace and avoid getting caught up in psychological games. I hope you continue to watch the videos and find them helpful!
The next is the one that needs tranformation like ourselves...i have totally tranformed....pheonix risn again from the ashes...turn lemon into lemonade❤

divorce is a tough step, but you’ve made the right choice by not allowing him to continue controlling your life. While he may try to manipulate you financially or go back on agreements, you’ve chosen to protect yourself and not let that toxicity affect you anymore. After 30 years, you absolutely deserve to live a life of freedom and peace, without being controlled or manipulated. Stay strong, you're heading in the right direction!

Please understand that I was just asking him to sharing our Past story and Emotions. Nothing I did I don't think so by talking to a person this thing or miracle can be happened. What if someone behind him doing something to Spoilt my self. Because I didn't do any Power ful Prayer.. sorry for me to myself can Miracle happen like this All of a sudden he wrote that something happened to him I didn't got it . I received a call and this one disconnected. .so later on I checked this message every where I thought something else happened. Please Lord Jesus I'm not involved in this healing it was just sign Talking. Thank you Universe and Gurdian Angel and Lord Jesus Amen
Sometimes life presents signs we can’t explain, and there are things we may never fully understand. However, it’s important to stay grounded in faith and not let unexplained events cause you distress or confusion. God always guides us, and if miracles happen, it’s through His love and care for us. Continue praying, trust in Him, and find peace in your heart. You deserve a life full of guidance and love from the Lord
I sincerely thank you for taking the time to watch the video and express your appreciation. It truly means a lot and is a tremendous source of motivation for me!
We deeply empathize with the challenges you’re facing when having to interact with loved ones, especially parents, in such sensitive situations. Balancing family responsibilities while protecting your mental health is never an easy task. Please remember that you have every right to establish necessary boundaries to ensure your safety, no matter how close the relationship might be. Prioritizing your mental well-being is not only a form of self-preservation but also a way to maintain balance in your life. If facing them becomes overwhelming, consider seeking support from trusted friends or professional counselors who can provide guidance. We are truly grateful that you’ve shared your thoughts, and please know that you are not alone - we’re here to stand by your side and support you.
Hello , love you so much that when seeing them it’s a reminder that you are a winner and that he can no longer have access to the greatness you, that’s the best feeling …say to yourself everyday … I took my power back” and I am saving my power for someone who is deserving and worthy of my love … It’s hard but it takes a lot of self care and empowerment! You got this believe me it will work smile 😅in his presence and take care of you! I prayed to stop being frustrated…and what ever he texts me I copy and send it back…remember no response is a response!
It’s letting them know you are on to them so you automatically start talking a step back, don’t show them the emotions you showed them when they hurt you and degraded you then left you in a state then you would send pleading messages letting them know they hurt you. Yet they claimed they left because you were the ones who were erratic and causing conflict and it was your reaction to questions that were degrading and insulting but not to them, they were accusing you of something they were doing so they would create this situation in order to leave you so they could cheat , when I stopped reacting and tried to walk away from him and say, I’d rather not respond and speak with you in the morning, like you told me to do and then you would know that it wasn’t me and you were drunk again and that you would respect me more if I didn’t respond if you thought you were disappointed in me 😂, I kept doing this and then he would acuse me if being deliberately disappointed in him and would follow me around the house but give him no response, he would then get more angry and leave anyway. So just as I thought he was cheating on me like I knew him from school, slept with his brothers fiancee, cheated on 2 ex wives ( his story after meeting up with him 4” years later and he ended up in the military) but they all were to blame never him , I told him I was cheated on and I didn’t agree with tit for tat and I would never stoop to that level ever, eventually I ended it but he would not accept it and stalked threatened and harassed me for months and months and ignored 5 police warnings,he said he remembered me from school for standing up to bullying and also called my abusive parents out and got rid of physical and mental controlling relationships, I admitted my child abuse and adult abuse and trauma had put me in therapy, not as a weakness but a strength and I am happy and love the woman I have become because of that pain and suffering I am grateful and strong, yet he adored all this when I reunited with him, he met me when I was recovering from open heart surgery and survived another abusive alcoholic relationship but I was stronger from it , he was trying to destroy me from day one, and he knew my physical health was deteriorating but he didn’t realise my mental mind would catch him out and I called him out to the police, I always told him no one would intimidate me not even an ex soldier who threatened me holding a gun, I have been scared to leave my house for nearly a year now but knowing I may have saved one more victim and knowing every other woman he has been put through my situation and he’s got away with it until he reunited with woman he so called looked up to , but looked down on so much during the relationship, I don’t take pleasure from the outcome of his police record he caused all by himself, nothing was revenge it was karma that I always told him would catch up with people like him, and thanked him for allowing me to adapt and evolve from my experience with him 😂. His reaction was that I was a spiritual witch who had put a curse on him, , but the moral of my story is the way to destroy them is to show no fear and my final lesson learned at 54 is that I don’t need to waist any more energy on anyone who disrespects me once in the future because my gut always told me in that moment I was fighting a loosing battle so walk away with my head held high next time because my health is my wealth
Thank you for courageously sharing your incredibly inspiring story! Your journey is a powerful testament to maintaining self-respect and fearlessness in the face of immense challenges. Your ability to stand up for yourself and overcome all the pain is a wonderful source of motivation for anyone in similar situations. I hope you continue to hold on to this strength and keep building a peaceful and happy life.

@@StoicPathways28 You're welcome! Thank you for taking the time to teach good coping skills! So much heartache could be avoided in the US and beyond, if good social skills were taught correctly in our public schools.
I think it's immoral to paint people with trauma like "evil" and the advice given in this video to the "victim" is actually very manipulate and totally ignoring the pain it causes to the other person. I don't like how everyone thinks they are victims and have 100% the moral upper hand and then discard others as if they were parasites and not even human. That is not Christian and it is antisocial. Where is the compassion?
Thank you for sharing your honest perspective! I understand that this topic can be controversial, especially when it involves trauma and how people respond to it. However, I’d like to emphasize that the goal of the video is not to ‘demonize’ those who have experienced trauma or to encourage treating them as parasites. Instead, it aims to help individuals who have been manipulated or abused find ways to protect themselves. You mentioned ‘compassion,’ and I completely agree that compassion is essential in every situation. However, compassion does not mean accepting or enabling harmful behavior, especially when that behavior impacts someone else’s mental health. Moreover, standing up for oneself and setting boundaries doesn’t mean disregarding the other person’s humanity; it’s about protecting dignity and balance in relationships. I’d love to hear more from you about how we can balance compassion with self-protection when dealing with harmful actions from others.
@@StoicPathways28 I think all "victims" need to take responsibility for their own role in a toxic relationship. It's not the same as some random person attacking you in the streets. In any RELATIONSHIP there are two people. Both influence and trigger each other. If you don't know how to set boundaries you can't claim to have been violated. It's like all this metoo nonsense where people willingly have sex and then 20 years later claim it was rape... Obviously there are cases like Weinstein etc. but I am talking about normal boy meets normal girl, they have sex, and she might have been insecure about it, not liked it or whatever, but she never said anything and went along with it and suddenly he has to be convicted of rape? It's like these videos. If you really are dating someone who is like this you are probably enableling them by not setting boundaries. Boundaries are not about giving others and ultimatum but about what YOU will do if they continue to gross your boundaries. Take responsibility for yourself.
Thank you for sharing your opinion! We greatly appreciate feedback like this to improve the quality of our content. We hope the information in the video was still helpful to you. If you have any other suggestions, please let us know!
You believe her lies are the reason you can’t build a relationship, but maybe the more important question is: Are you focusing too much on her instead of developing yourself? If you let her lies control you, you limit your ability to move forward; instead, focus on building your own value, living honestly, and acting positively - that’s how you overcome misunderstandings and prove the truth
How is it that you can't see the narcissism within yourself? You pretend to be an expert on narcissism when you can't even see it in yourself...Hi there, I just want to weigh in on this topic. It's crucial to recognize that we all have narcissistic traits to some degree-it's part of being human and exists on a spectrum. Encouraging people to turn against family members or friends simply because they exhibit these traits can lead to unnecessary division and heartache. Narcissistic behaviors often surface most in our closest relationships, where we are most vulnerable. By labeling loved ones as narcissists, you're creating a rift that can tear families apart. Instead of casting blame, we should focus on understanding and compassion. Let’s promote healthier conversations about these complex behaviors instead of fostering an environment of animosity. No one benefits from this kind of labeling, and it ultimately harms the very relationships that matter most."
Thank you for sharing such thoughtful and balanced insights! I agree that everyone may possess narcissistic traits to some degree, and this doesn’t necessarily make them a true narcissist. However, I’d like to clarify that the video’s content is not intended to encourage people to turn against family or friends just because of a few misunderstood behaviors. Rather, the main purpose of the video is to help people distinguish between natural human traits and the systematic manipulative and toxic behaviors of a true narcissist. Recognizing and protecting oneself from harmful individuals doesn’t lack compassion but instead ensures mental well-being and healthier relationships. I absolutely agree that understanding and compassion are crucial, but at the same time, clear boundaries are necessary to avoid being hurt. What are your thoughts on finding a balance between compassion and self-protection?
@@phoenixrisin2269 Well for those that haven't..... You can't assume anything unless you also self reflect. Remember, Narcassist can't fully self reflect. Making these videos candy for their ego.

Anybody that has to turn to RUclips for advice on dealing with narcissists is already suspect. Marcus Aurelius a man with an inner light but not bright enough to stop the gruesome displays at the local amphitheatre. Ho hum, time to make some soup.....
@@Strollmanx Thank you for sharing such a unique perspective! It’s true that there is some contradiction in Marcus Aurelius’ teachings when compared to the societal behaviors of ancient Rome, such as the gruesome spectacles at the amphitheater. However, we should also consider that Stoic philosophy is not about being perfectly executed by its proponents but rather serves as a tool for individuals to better themselves and overcome challenges.
As for seeking advice on RUclips, it’s indeed a platform for sharing knowledge and personal experiences. Not everyone has access to other resources, and sometimes hearing from those who’ve faced similar issues can provide invaluable emotional support. What are your thoughts on using modern tools like RUclips to navigate complex relationship challenges?
Right
Inner peace, no hatred, or feeling defeted. Nothhing off that😅😮
@@StoicPathways28Better pray to god and in final god come with justice and peace only leave everything on god in final god only come with justice only and peace only.
It’s probably all good advice , but the fact is , they just find the next victim , and usually very quickly . Once they have someone new , you are no longer even an afterthought , until they get upset with the new person , then they may try coming back .
Thanks for sharing! It's true that sometimes when someone new comes along, they won't remember you, but the important thing is that you realized that and protected yourself. Keep up the good work!
That's okay. You set up boundaries with them and don't let them in.
Mine already had his plan laid out to go back to his ex - found out he removed my name from the house title????? When he was drunk passed put went through his phone - the plan was laid out months before at the beginning of the smear campaign at church, promised the house to his ex if anything happened to him. He met his ex at a hotel while supposedly being at a sports thing within granddaughter, saw the text - written out was he didn't want me to know about that - wonder why???? Supposed to be home the next morning when I fell and ended up in the ER - texted him about when he would be home for a ride from the hospital - never answered - instead he spent the whole next day tra la la-ing with his ex that day. Came home really late that night - I had to call church friends to get home. Later asked him why he never answered my text - said he didn't see it - this Nan sleeps with his phone in his hand - nothing gets by him. The best was he couldnt remember what he did that day........
This happened to me. Dont worry about who else they found. The same cycle will happen to all others. They will try to Hoover to back when their old supply no longer is of value. Go NO CONTACT, and SILENCE to them!
Davetetlow9698...No debería importarte lo qué haga con su vida, al contrario es mejor para tí. Si qué duele, pero es mejor así que duela, eso pasará. Desahacerse de esos demonios es lo mejor qué pueda pasar, aunque duela.
Mi experiencia con mi ex narcisista de un día al otro y con total frialdad me dijo...."quiero que me des el divorcio" yo... pensé que bromeaba por la forma en que lo dijo, sin más ni más, él prosiguió: " te quiero, pero ya no te amo, me he enamorado de alguien más y además ella me va a dar un hijo" yo no podía tener hijos. Me tragué mi orgullo, me tragué mis lágrimas y me divorcié. Karma los visitó a ellos dos muy pronto, porque al nacer el bebé empezaron grandes problemas entre ellos dos, tanto que se andaban matando y él fué a parar a la cárcel. Un día me llamó el muy sinvergüenza para pedirme qué fuera hablar con el juez y corroborar qué él fué un gran esposo para mí. Mi respuesta fué NO. Me dejaste por ella...ahora disfrútala. Ella, la nueva víctima también muy sinvergüenza me llamó para qué yo, como mujer me pusiera de su parte. También mi respuesta fué: NO, ya se te olvidó que hantes de divorciarme me dejabas mensajes al teléfono de mi casa...diciendo que te la habías pasado maravillosamente con mi esposo? Púes síganse disfrutando mucho y escúchame bien...tú sobretodo tú, te la vas a pasar cómo nunca en tu vida, te deseo qué lo disfrutes y qué nunca se te olvide el mal qué ambos hicieron.
Yep, I walked away with a Uhaul and moved to another state - healing now and WANTING my life back!!!!!
Wow, that was an incredibly brave decision! You have come out of a difficult situation and are now getting your life back. Stay strong and love yourself. This new life will bring you great opportunities.
Doing that now. Leaving Florida heading to the mid west, it's time to heal
We need to find our boundaries, however in my experience when you state it to a narcissist it doesn't compute. Inner work is gold, and if you can laugh it off out of pitty at least inwordly you open up to your own power 😊
You deserve PEACE.
Narcissists never expect you to stand up for yourself or move on without them. It’s empowering to realize that when you take back control of your life, it’s something they can never truly recover from. They might think they can manipulate or gaslight their way out, but seeing you thrive is their ultimate regret. Powerful stuff!
“The greatest freedom is breaking free from what you can’t control.” When you stand up and grow, they’re forced to face their own failure. Your success is the clearest proof!
So you basically want revenge...that seems petty and mean
My son married an abusive narcissist, and he lets her control him to the point of allowing her to be abusive to me also. She resents anyone else being in his life, and covets all of his time, and he does not put his foot down.
There's been a rift for 4 years over her wanting an apology from me for something I didn't do. If they can ever get you to do that, there will be no end to it. It's come down to my having to go "no contact" with not only her, but my son as well.
After a lifetime of family narcissists, and my being in recovery for complex trauma and panic disorder as a narcissist survivor, I don't need any of this anymore.
Thank you for sharing your heartfelt and candid story. Facing a situation like this is truly not easy. Choosing 'no contact' can be a difficult but necessary step to protect your mental health and peace of mind. Your journey of recovery from the traumatic experiences with narcissists is a clear testament to your inner strength and courage. I hope you continue to find peace and strength in your healing journey. If there is anything this community can do to support you, please know that you are not alone
You are the NARCISSIST LADY! 🫵👀👂👂🤨
I agree. I'm embarrassed that i did not go silent before, but I'm learning.
There's no need to feel embarrassed! We all learn from our mistakes and experiences in life. Realizing and deciding to take the path of silence is a big step, and you're doing great. What matters is that you've recognized this and continue learning to protect yourself. You're becoming stronger every day!
I was so devastated after I got discarded and I wish I'd just kept silent and stopped trying to work things out. He had already replaced me so it wouldn't have mattered as he already had a new source of supply.
@Clasdykrafty
It's hard. It is very hard, especially when I always did all the talking (he's worse than an introvert), and he sat back collecting data.
@@ND-or5so Yep that's what they do.
If we don’t learn then we can’t evolve. I used to beat my self up when I allowed the same behaviour time and time again. Even my last one in my 50s , it was easier to spot the bad behaviour from experience yet I felt I was on a mission to call him out as he was on a different level altogether but I knew him at age 11 for a few months and he didn’t have a good reputation then, but I questioned him about it at the start and told him he was hurtful to me and other girls at the time but he wouldn’t accept it and blamed others from school for his behaviour 😂. I went along with it but I know he was lying from day one, yet I stayed with him for over a year, like a private detective. I soon realised that everything he said happened to him by others like myself that he was the one who had treated them the way he made up it was him being the victim, he started doing everything he claimed his exs did to him to me 😂, he was worse than I remembered and realised he has now got a police record for stalking me and threatening and harassment towards me, but it’s taught me a big lesson and that’s to walk away sooner my health is my wealth but I’m still a survivor ❤
I had to take legal action against my narcissistic sister. over money. I won my case. Now she does not want anything to do with, me and tries to blame me. Trust me, "Greed " for money can affect and hurt families
Thank you for sharing your story! Dealing with a narcissistic family member, especially over money, is undoubtedly a significant challenge. Winning your case demonstrates your resilience and your ability to stand up for yourself. However, the emotional scars left on families can be profound. I hope you find peace and continue building your life. Remember, clarity and boundaries are essential to protect yourself in situations like these.
My x owes me alot of money. He has bled his family dry also. He tried to borrow from friends.
Arrogant, entitled, lazy, workshy...a liar and manipulator, deceitful and secretive.
He is near 60 and living with his parents...the enablers.
Excellent advice! Narcissists collapse when they no longer have control. I speak from experience.
We’re so happy that our content has been helpful to you. Thank you for following and sharing your thoughts!

All of this is very, very hard and the trauma bond is difficult. You have self worth! You need to be respected. Lying…cheating…all sick
I was the epitome of the little green mouse hiding under the table of my family of six! Never any respect, never appreciated. These people lie and stole and use other people for their own gains and then cut them off. I did not follow down this path because I went to pharmacy school when I was 17 in Philadelphia and I was never back in their clutches.😎
@christinebachor6663 Ran to LA..got out...with you 💯
Oh Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of everything!
He wont! You have to take vare of yourself, otherwise you will never. be strong
Jesus didn't create the universe
He was just a man, God sent to the lost wicked people
Essentially a Prophet but to call him a God is outright ridiculous
Practice Silence is the Best to Narcissistic or rude people.
Zero waste emotions and energies would help to stay calm. - They can’t use the people who reserve their energies and values.
Mirror them back can be Fun like to be their level once while.
Certainly, by not allowing them to exploit your emotions and energy, you are not only protecting yourself but also showing inner strength. Keeping quiet helps you maintain your values and not get caught up in their games.
@ Thank for responding and making great videos. Your hard work would educate people who suffer without knowing.
Training myself to focus on things that would value my life is still not easy.
I realize that my emotions and personality attracted to people love to control over.
I’m so used to used. That feels familiar.
Feeling uncomfortable to change my behavior still challenging to me. Little by little, I enjoy my own power and freedom now.
It was Fun.
Watching him squirm, pointing out his behaviors over the years that he should be so ashamed of ( Shame rules them!!! )
Pointing out truths like he hasn't any real friends, his family doesn't like to be around him,....and ( the Best One!!) Telling him, and he Knows it's True, that when his 6 yr old gets older and Realizes WHAT he is, he'll stop loving him and want Nothing to do with him.
Soooo fun to watch him twist in the wind ... ... ... ...
My situation is that I have to live with one. I' m 74 and he resents me being here. He doesn't want me here .He's spiteful and mean .we live in a decrepit house and to spite me, he's letting the house rot down . Parts of the ceiling has fallen down on my head. He has turned the living room into a storage. He want even try to clean anything.. I've wanted to leave but can't afford to live anywhere because of my low income. He hates doing anything for me. But here's the thing, he claims to a chtistian, so self-righteousness. He will do any thing his pastor ask of him. He's at church all the time. His church is his family, So I don't say anything to him, I been silent for three months but it doesn't matter to him. I miserable living here and he likes it. Wish I had a way out of this situation, I pray to God to help me endure and keep me strong.
I pray for your happiness. If nothing else, always choose to be kind to yourself.
I am so sorry to hear that you are going through such a difficult situation. Living with someone who is toxic and neglectful can be extremely painful, especially when you cannot leave due to financial reasons. It is admirable that you are remaining strong and silent, but I can only imagine the negative impact it is having on you.
I know you are in a difficult situation, but please do not forget that you are a valuable person and deserve a loving and respectful place to live. You have the strength to move forward, and I hope that over time you will find the support and resources to change your situation. Continue to pray for guidance, and ask God to give you strength.
If you need someone to talk to, I am here for you.

Churches attract narcs.....I read that. That's where they meet.
Get out that's abuse - get in touch with a shelter - there is emergency housing and help for you
You have to get out somehow, can you contact a social service of some kind. Surely there is an elderly helpline that can engage with you
to help with getting you out of this nightmare.
I SAID NO TO MANIPULATE NARCISSISTS…..I have very strong boundaries. I’ll not allow anyone to disrespect me. PERIOD 🙏. I Love myself 🥰 with Peace & Confidence with GOD by my side 🙏🥰🙏.
Congratulations on creating such strong and secure boundaries! Knowing your self-worth and not allowing anyone to manipulate or disrespect you is a huge step in your journey to mental health and peace in your life. You are doing a great job of loving and respecting yourself, which will not only help you avoid toxic relationships but will also help you develop confidence and resilience.
When we protect ourselves from negative influences, it is how we create a safe and loving space. God is with you, guiding and supporting you every step of the way. Continue to stay strong and steadfast, you deserve a life filled with peace, happiness and freedom.
@PattyK-v6z
It sounds like you weren't with one long.
❤
Thank you. I am married to a covert narcissist for 44yrs. Finally divorcing him ❤
Thank you for sharing your story. After 44 years, making the decision to divorce is undoubtedly challenging, but it’s a brave and strong step. You deserve peace and happiness in your life. Take care of yourself, and know that you’re on the path to regaining your freedom and true worth. If needed, seek support from family, friends, or the community. Wishing you strength and peace ❤
NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO NEVER GET IN THE MUD WITH A PIG( I WISH I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW )THEY LOVE YOU TO ROLL AROUND IN THE MUD WITH THEM & FEEL HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THEMSELVES MY EX HUSBAND/ NARCISSIST WAS THAT PIG UNTIL I WALKED AWAY & WENT NO CONTACT NO MORE GENUINE ADMIRATION LOVE OR ATTENTION GAME OVER
You are truly strong and resilient when you recognize the nature of manipulation and decide not to participate in those games anymore. Walking away and refusing to return is a courageous and smart move. You have taken back control of your life and protected your heart and soul from unnecessary hurt. Remember, no one has the right to make you feel unworthy of love, respect, and peace. You absolutely deserve a life filled with joy, freedom, and healthy relationships, free from manipulation and hurt. Continue to be strong and steadfast, because you are on the right path and deserve all the best!
@jennifercross65
How long were you with him?
@@ND-or5so 27 YEARS IF I FINALLY WOKE UP WHEN I STARTED LEARNING ABOUT NARCISSIUM/ NARCISSISTS
@@StoicPathways28 THANK YOU
WHY ARE WE SCREAMING?!?!?!
No good deed goes unpunished!
Thank you for sharing this profound perspective! You are absolutely right when you say "no good deed goes unpunished." It is an important lesson about realizing that our value comes not from others but from within ourselves and from God. Forgiving, loving, and then ceasing to cast your pearls before those who are undeserving is a powerful step to protect your peace and happiness. Wishing you continued strength and peace on this journey! 🙏💖
That was my Aunt's comment about my mother when I was a child. I didn't understand then. I do now.
My entire family has Scapegoated me since birth. My brother & father were hateful & alike.
It wasn't UNTIL seeing the Glee & Joy within my mothers evil smirk , her happiness never seen harmony like she DERIVES from the harm of me , that i really KNEW her saying she loves me was just to pull the rug out from under me over & over again...
It’s truly heartbreaking to face such a lack of respect and genuine love from family. Especially when you realize that someone you thought loved you actually finds joy in your pain. However, the fact that you recognize this is an important step in your healing journey. You don’t deserve to endure this manipulation and harm. You deserve to be loved and respected in the right way. Keep protecting yourself and don’t let them bring you down. You are stronger than you think.
Set an alarm for the grace of God
Only God can save you from a narcissist we should never ask God why this happened but it did married at 23 / 55 years you can imagine what I went to thank God he's with me now I was following a false god all my life scared to death of being alone now think about that and here I am for the grace of God and I'll never leave Jesus Christ my Lord it's never too late with God
My whole family too
And now my son …
One of life's largest Blessings is recalling my MOMster SAYING just how different I was and thusly treated so so differently! I will forever celebrate THAT statement for the fact that EACH Day I'm a more LIKELY candidate to receive GRACE! The big HOLY rollers not so MUCH, ever....
my entire family are severe narcissists! I truly believe that I did not become one because I moved out of the house when I was 17 to go to pharmacy school in Philadelphia. I have never been back whereas my three siblings clung onto the teat of the family.
very sad, but I am so happy that I left when I did, I became my own person living in the light of God! 🙏
Congratulations for having the courage to leave a toxic environment and finding the light in your life! Holding onto your self-worth and living in the light of God is a beautiful journey. Sometimes, we need to break free from the negative influences of our family in order to grow and thrive. You made a very strong and admirable decision. Keep living with determination, and know that you deserve a life filled with love and peace.
Exciting video, A year ago i took the no contact route, well i wouldn't say it didn't go well, but i missed her and sometimes you have to leave your comfort zone and go for what you want, Without knowing and having a huge ego, we might actually miss out on our soul mate all in the name of not settling for less, I know who i am, and at the same time i know what i want for me, so i did all i could to get her back, and I must say, it was the best decision i have ever made, we have been together again for over 7 months, yes marriage isnt always rosey, but i am lucky to have her, just as she is to have me, we compliment each other.
its difficult to let go of someone you love, i am in a similar situation, and i do not know what else do to have him back, i have been dying inside, people actually think i am happy, i am not.
I feel your pain sister, after trying out the no contact experiment that failed miserably, i had to find other means, i had to reach out to a spiritual adviser, it was brilliant idea which i never thouht it was, but it worked wonders for me.
Amazing, how did you get a spiritual counselor, and how do i reach him/ her?
Her name is Shelly renee white , and she is a great spiritual counselor who can bring back your ex.
Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked her up now online. impressive
Forgiving them is the ultimate success ❤
Thank you for sharing! Forgiveness is truly a powerful act, not only freeing your soul but also helping you overcome the wounds of the past. It’s not a sign of weakness but a way to affirm your worth and reclaim your peace. Keep walking this strong path-you deserve happiness and true freedom.
I learned when u feel sorry for them.. that's when they lose their control over u... I'm still broken 💔.. hasn't been long since I finally left after five years... I feel bad for the woman who don't realize they're with a narcissist and stay in hell for years so sad we gotta help each other cuz frfr we all we got... no one will ever understand unless they lived it.. how could they? it's really unbelievable! unreal! still can't wrap my head around the whole thing.
I shut my heartoff 😮 i just didnt have any soft and mercy on him i shocked my own self 😮
Sometimes, keeping quiet and keeping your distance is how we protect ourselves, even though it may feel awkward. But you are doing the necessary thing to maintain your self-respect and protect yourself.
Me too ,I hate him for what he’s done to me. I cannot contain my anger at what he’s put my family through. I’m a pretty soft hearted person
but he brings out the worst in me .I can’t even talk to him with a civil tongue.
Ex narc discarded me out of the blue for his ex who he swore he hated. He told me mid week and by the weekend he went public w his ex. Disappeared from my life for about 6 months. In that time he saw me once from far away and pretended he didn’t see me. About 2 months into those 6 months he told some of my family members he missed “things” from the past and that going back to his ex wasn’t going as he expected. At about month 6 he texted me apologizing. His apology was insincere full of lies. He blamed everyone and everything for what had happened but not in one second took any accountability for his actions, Even though everything that happened was his fault. I listened to him, but was cold and distant with him. He played the sad victim role. I didn’t baby him anymore I kept my cool but I refuted every lie he said. He said he loved me and missed me and that he was just w his ex for a reason he hadn’t told me about but he didn’t love her 😒. I told him I didn’t believe his lies anymore. Few days later, He kept offering unsolicited help w things around my house. He weirdly kept insisting on buying me gifts. I kept saying no but he kept insisting which made me feel uncomfortable with time. Until I eventually told him, thank you for the offerings but I will not accept any gifts or help from him ever again. He left and never heard from him again. If I could go back and do something different, I wish I wouldn’t have answered his texts or call after he discarded me but I did because I wanted an apology and to hear his point of view. His pathetic apology in a way helped me realize he is a liar and will never change but it would have been better not to have listened to him. In my defense, I didn’t know at this point much about narcissistic personality/abuse etc. It wasn’t till after he disappeared again that I started to learn about this behavior. I doubt he’ll ever comeback because I know he was upset I said NO to his gifts, but if he ever does I know now not to answer. My life has gotten so much better and I’m at peace. My happiness is coming back and I no longer miss him.
Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt and genuine story. You’ve shown incredible strength by standing your ground and rejecting his manipulative attempts. Gaining awareness of narcissistic behavior is a huge step forward, and it’s wonderful to see that you’ve reclaimed your peace and happiness in life.
Your story is a powerful source of inspiration for others going through similar situations. Always remember that you deserve so much better. Thank you for sharing, and I wish you continued success on your healing journey!

Your journey is very precious, and I believe that you have the strength to overcome all challenges. I wish you to always stay resilient and continue to move forward, where opportunities and happiness await. You absolutely deserve a life filled with peace, joy and prosperity!
Wow i apologised for him not being their while my mother is dying. He gave me silent treatment. This was eye opening
Thank you so much for sharing your deeply emotional story. The behavior you described is truly a classic example of how narcissists manipulate and hurt others. It’s important that you’ve recognized their nature and don’t blame yourself. Please continue to value yourself and focus on building a more peaceful life. We are very grateful that you’ve shared this experience with the community
dont ever want that back. period.
Exactly, you don’t need to go back to anything that hurt you. Choosing not to go back is the best way to protect yourself and maintain your peace. You deserve a better life, free from the negativity of the past. Keep moving forward with strength-you’ve made the right decision!
Thank you for your good advice.I will try to use those very words and things
You're very welcome! I'm glad to hear that you found the advice helpful. Remember, protecting your peace and setting boundaries is essential, especially when dealing with people who are manipulative or toxic. You deserve to feel valued and respected in any relationship, and using your words and actions to assert your self-worth is a powerful step forward.
Take things one day at a time, and be kind to yourself in the process. You've got this! 💪🌟
Spot on about contact,it has to be 100% no contact,block all the channels.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! You are absolutely right-100% no contact is crucial to protecting yourself from negative influences. By blocking all channels of communication, you’re creating the necessary space to heal and regain peace. We hope you continue to stay strong on this journey!
I like that word,"liberation." thank you
I'm so glad you like the word 'liberation'! It's a powerful word, representing freedom and the ability to break free from control and negative influences. When you can liberate yourself from toxic relationships, you will feel lighter and freer than ever. Keep moving on your path to freedom and peace!
I apologized to the covert narcissist, and said "i was sorry for how things went", but at the same time I wished her well. She was speechless, but I haven't heard from her since. I avoid encounters and blocked all contacts. :) There is a price to be paid for an unnecessary apology ;)
Congratulations on being brave enough to stand up for yourself and protect your peace! Sometimes, offering an apology isn’t because we are at fault, but to end a relationship full of tension. However, when dealing with manipulators, silence and distance are the best ways to protect your peace. Not allowing them to control your emotions and life is a strong and admirable choice. You deserve a life of freedom, unhindered by toxic people
Amazing video, so true.
Glad you found this video to be true to your heart! These messages can help us gain insight into ourselves and the world around us.
🌸🌺❤️
I get as cold as ice and this religious person said that I shouldn’t react in such a way. However, that has always helped me and I’ve seen him do the same thing to people who cross him. I’m realizing the religious person, he’s also a narc and trying to control me
Thank you for sharing your story and awareness! Becoming cold can be your way of protecting yourself from negative influences. The important thing is that you’ve recognized the manipulative behavior from others, no matter how they appear externally. Always trust your feelings and boundaries, and continue to stand strong to protect your freedom and peace.
My sister, run as fast as you can.. I had a religious one we attend the same church. And he is definitely a wholf in sheep clothing. He is so busy at his job with multiple women, when in church he is such a man of God.
@@eliz054 this also sounds too familiar ❤️ peace and love to you
Thank God that you're a strong woman. Be careful he will come back with his warm hugs. Acting like a little child that needs love, playing the victim in every situation. You forgive him , and the controlling starts again. I have been there... stay blessed and stay strong.
If they became aggressive you leave simple
Leaving immediately when someone becomes aggressive is the best way to protect yourself. Always remember that you have the right to live in peace and safety, and no one has the right to violate that.
Thanks

Wow. Exactly. I showed no emotions whenever I speak with my covert narcissistic mother and overt narcissistic father. Actually I wonder why they speak less either, and no rage anymore.
Thank you for sharing your experience! Not showing emotions is a very powerful way to deal with narcissistic behavior. It’s possible that your lack of reaction has made them feel they can’t control you anymore, leading to their reduced anger. Keep maintaining this calm and strength, and always prioritize your mental well-being!
I saved messages and talking him 2 court!! Protection Order
Thank you for sharing! Keeping evidence and taking legal action is a crucial step in protecting yourself. I hope you receive the support you need from the law and find safety and peace in your life. Wishing you lots of strength on this journey!
This is what I needed. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm trying to heal, but he is trying hard to damage me more..
You are so welcome ! I'm so glad to hear that the video helped you. The healing process is never easy, especially when someone is still trying to hurt you. However, your awareness and refusal to get pulled into their games is a powerful sign of resilience. Remember, you deserve to live in peace, free from manipulation and toxicity
Another Perfect 🥰 💞 video
Thank you ❤️
Me and my boyfriend will get rid of this narcissist
You got this! I’m so glad you found the video helpful! Recognizing and deciding to remove a narcissist from your life is such an important step in protecting both your peace and happiness. You deserve a healthy relationship, full of respect and love. Keep moving forward, you’re doing great at protecting yourself and the ones you love
I find using their tactics against them works better! Keep them confused by spoiling them then ignoring them change back and forth! Tell them you want it then it costs you this to get it and I get mine first! Go places by yourself or see friends without them there! Keeping them guessing and confused drives them crazy! They get mad laugh, they play victim you play quiet just say OK I’m a bully! Always show yourself in your best and happy without giving them your happiness! Do the opposite but don’t raise your voice just agree then walk away and continue your routine! But remember they won’t change if you can leave if you can’t work against them in low vibration just agree, make promises you don’t keep and just live your best life in front of them! They can’t take their own medicine! Let them stew but don’t do it aggressively! Calm, stern and agreeable then just ignore and walk away in the best mood you can even hummmm or sing!
This is a very interesting and creative perspective! You’ve shared intelligent and skillful strategies to stay in control in difficult situations. I really appreciate how you emphasize staying calm, managing emotions, and not letting them take away your happiness. The "calm yet not easily manipulated" attitude you mentioned is truly an art! Thank you for sharing this approach; I think many people can learn from it
Thank you a Million for these powerful induction that is so priceless.
Thank you too! Glad you enjoyed it!
I started figuring him out, when he never said I am sorry or apologizing for his rants which have been outrageous! I never apologized because I had nothing to apologize except getting a job out of town, which he has been harboring jealousy and revenge against me. He finally told me. Now, he is having to retire, and he doesn't want to so he is fighting with his colleagues who hate him.
It’s not easy dealing with someone who refuses to apologize and holds onto jealousy. However, you’ve been very resilient by not apologizing for things you didn’t do wrong. Remember, you deserve to be treated with respect and not let anyone manipulate your emotions
My time is precious. I turn into a Jane Austin and politely slam the door without making a sound and not give a flake of attention.
That’s amazing! The way you choose to remain silent and keep your calm, like a character from Jane Austen, is an incredibly graceful and strong way to protect yourself. Sometimes, silence and indifference are the most powerful responses. You deserve relationships that respect and value your time. Keep maintaining your peace and don’t let anyone disturb your life!
The narrator’s voice is so soothing. It reminds me of the Stanley Parable.
Thanks for the great review! Did you find it helped you focus more on the message in the video?
@ actually, yes.
it's manipulative actually
dont let em forget. ever. or until they admit it. they wont. so now you have entertainment. unlimited, all thanks to their insecurities
Thank you for sharing such an interesting perspective! It’s true that narcissists’ insecurities often trap them in their own cycles. Recognizing this not only makes you stronger but also helps you maintain control and freedom in your life. Stay strong and don’t let them affect you!
Easier said than done when I am 91 and they are my children. My children abandoned me when I finally had enough of their disrespect. Being completely alone when I was always the giver, after I reach the point of needing help is not easy.
Thank you for sharing your story; I truly empathize with your situation. Being disrespected and abandoned by your children, especially at a time when you need help the most, is incredibly heartbreaking. You’ve always been a giver, and that speaks volumes about your noble heart. Despite the difficulties, I hope you can find people around you or a community to support and accompany you. You don’t deserve to face loneliness, and I believe there are still those willing to share and help. Wishing you strength and peace in life.
If you have savings, sell your home find an assisted living place to live. Apply for any funding assistance you can apply for, and pray daily for Jesus to guide you. If you do not want to leave your home, then advertise to have someone that works for a elderly aid business to pay to come in a few days a week for help. I see elderly all the time with people that help them shop, clean their home, wash clothes, run errands, and just communication.
Keep Jesus in your heart and you will be much better
Excellent. Thank you so much.I shall take your advice. ❤❤
I'm so glad to hear that my advice was helpful to you! You’ve done really well by deciding to listen and take steps to protect yourself. Keep moving forward on your journey and remember that you deserve a life full of peace and happiness. If you need more support, don’t hesitate to reach out to those who understand and share with you
(12:03) This part of the video talking about how they "twist events" to make you question yourself even when facts prove you have done nothing wrong reminds me of narcissism at work.
I work as a behavioral therapist for kids with autism. The clinical and program director had a meeting with me about my two cases. I could not believe how they would focus on these minor, minor (subjective) details during successful sessions and kept trying to insist that these were egregious errors on my part.
Like the kid climbed on the couch, but the mother was there too, sitting on a different section of the L-shaped sofa.
She said and did nothing, because her daughter probably climbs on the couch all the time. The narcissistic directors kept trying to affirm that I endangered the child. Mentioning that the mother was there in close proximity did nothing to change their position.
Also, when I mentioned that the mother often introduces books and materials she knows the little girl likes and engages in (because it is VERY difficult to capture this child's focus and attention) the program director tried to twist the narrative, saying that the mother basically was leading the session which was absolutely NOT true.
I would have appreciated it if they presented fair, undistorted facts, or listened to my side of the story without trying to focus on blaming me by exaggerating minor details.
I have also been at jobs, where the narcissist has me following one set of directions. So I do them to the best of my ability. And then they have the nerve to blame me because the opposite of those directions were not fulfilled. The sick part is that they know what they are doing. They did not forget what they originally said.
So many companies run off of narcissistic consciousness which jeopardizes people's jobs. I blame the government for failing to give legal rights to decent employees to protect themselves and their income. It's like the state and federal government just enables dangerous, narcissistic behavior.
At-will employment (the right to terminate jobs for no, or ridiculous reasons) gives narcs a dangerous, dangerous weapon against innocent people, feeding their addiction to abusing power.
Thank you so much for sharing your detailed and insightful experience! What you highlighted truly reflects the sad reality in many work environments. The behavior of distorting facts, exaggerating faults, and shifting blame not only causes mental pressure but also severely impacts the confidence and work of diligent, dedicated individuals. I hope the content in this video continues to help you understand and find ways to protect yourself against these dangerous narcissistic behaviors. Thank you for courageously sharing your story!
@@StoicPathways28 Thank you. It really helps to watch videos like this because at least viewers know they are not the only ones experiencing these behaviors. I think that diligent, dedicated people deserve financial stability and more respect at work.
Aside from going from job to job, I am hoping we can invest more time into building up our own businesses, work harder than the narcs so we have outputs that are in more demand than their efforts, basically working hard to position ourselves higher than them, becoming more business and commercially minded.
Secondly I am finding state legislation that only speaks against workplace abuse. Lawyers tell me that these are not enforceable. I spoke to my local law library and the rep said that the laws are slowly changing because there are many smaller laws and also new changes.
Most lawyers don't even research things regularly or stay updated with new laws and then they use gaslighting to affirm that they are correct.
I’m going through the beginning of no contact but he also will not contact me I’m sick over this we’ve been together 11 years and I’m a mess. I’m sad angry and wish I could just let go but I can’t. I’m struggling with fact that he doesn’t love or care about me. I put my heart in sole into this relationship and I’m loyal.
Thank you for sharing your feelings. It’s never easy to move on from an 11-year relationship, especially when you’ve invested so much love and loyalty into it. Letting go can be incredibly difficult, but it’s also the first step toward rediscovering yourself and moving toward a more peaceful future. Remember, you deserve to be loved and cared for in the right way. If needed, seek support from loved ones or professionals to help you navigate this tough time. Wishing you strength and inner peace as you move forward
Much needed THANK YOU for reminding me my worth ❤
I’m so glad to hear that you’ve recognized your worth! You deserve love and respect, and remembering your value is such an important step in becoming stronger. Always trust in yourself and keep moving forward on your journey. Thank you for sharing your feelings! ❤
Great video! I finally told my husband, to leave, go to the farm house, you didn't fix, would'nt let me fix it, so there he is going to live. He calls me to see if I need anything. Now, I can sleep better, no dinner to have to worry about, no going to 10 stores a day for dinner. He never takes out. And he is a drunk, to boot, along with his rants of rage.
I’m so glad you’ve found peace in your life. Sometimes, standing up and clearly stating what you need is the best way to protect your mental and emotional well-being. You did the right thing by not allowing yourself to continue suffering.
So you left him because you didn’t want to cook dinner?
@RFJersey no, I didn't leave him. Yes, I cook all the time, so he always has food. You missed the point, he is unhappy with himself, and comes home angry because he doesn't want to retire.
@@esperansaloughran693Sounds like he needs your love and support.
Expose them. They will leave you alone and won't come back.
Thank you for sharing such an accurate perspective! Exposing the true nature of a narcissist is a powerful way to ensure they no longer control you. I hope you continue to stand your ground and enjoy a life of freedom, free from negative influences.
@StoicPathways28 it sounds easier than it is. My ex-wife was a very attractive woman. Even a handful of my family members believed her outlandish projection of her actions onto me stories as well as law enforcement and the courts. I had her tailed by a PI. The information collected enabled me to win full custody of my children. At the end of the trial, the judge stood me up and admonished me, stating that he was not happy to award this to me because I'm no better and probably worse than her. I refused to talk to her, insisting on text only, for 6 years. She took me back to court for shared parenting. Again, she had the judge eating out of her hand. Again, I hired a PI again not telling even my own attorney just like last time. She was caught on film being in contempt of court. The Judge did not grant her shared parenting. He granted her EVERYTHING that shared parenting is made of... minus 2 days a month. It only took the first time we ended up alone cleaning up after my sins birthday party on a day one of the men she was cheating with, now living with, was left home. She took all her clothes off and made overture of how true her love is for me and begging to get back together. I said no. I could not forgive her for the severe damage she did to my son, me, and the embarrassment of her actions since. 2 weeks later, she married her supply. Now, almost 2 years into their marriage, he is in a living hell. And he started drinking heavily with multiple hands on fight with them beating the heck out of each other in public as well as home. She now terribly mistreats my 11 yo son. When hands were laid on him by both... I reacted as a father would, only to do what I did before and fall right into her trap. She made sure witnesses were positioned when I arrived to pick him up, and the supply even started pushing me. At that point, I decided to fight fire with fire. In 3 months I sent out 3 texts, one each month to her family, her 19 yo son, the supply, the supply's family of her horrendous acts of cheating with supplies best friend, getting fired from her leadership.position for showing up intoxicated x2 and caught in an affair with a young man under her direction, as well as her cheating with two of the supplies cousins. Since, she has abandoned my son, blocked all communication, started a new job 1 hour away. Her husband ended up in the hospital under suspicious circumstances and she has not been seen in a week. I believe I have finally rid myself of her, but at an extraordinary price. I am almost broke now, but I can now raise my son without her mentally wrecking him just to hurt me. It was worth all the money I paid to get this information. And no one ever had an inkling how terrible she could be. Now they all know.
Really Good Advice 👍 Thank GOD for this video Amen 🙏 😊
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I'm glad to know that this video has helped you. Wishing you continued strength as you protect yourself from those who don't deserve your time.
It works with psychopaths to, get support and find stronger friends 😊
Thanks for sharing! Strong friends can be a great shield to protect yourself from toxic people. Always remember that you have the right to love and cherish those who truly care about you.
Impossible to do any of this when you have kids and no family support and friends live in another city!
Thank you for sharing your situation; I truly understand that it’s not easy when you lack a close support network. Facing a narcissist in such circumstances requires a lot of patience and strength. You might consider seeking support from online communities or professional counseling organizations to help you through this. Remember, you’re not alone, and there are always ways to protect yourself and your children. Wishing you strength and hoping you find the right solution soon!
Don't believe for a second that the narcissist doesn't have a replacement all ready and waiting for them. These tactics can help salvage what little self esteem you may have left, but as for disempowering a narcissist? Nah....Dream on. Walk away and preserve your life and your integrity..
The fact that they have a replacement doesn’t matter, what matters is that you’ve recognized your worth and walked away to protect yourself from further harm
Great advice thanks so much 🙏👍
Thank you so much! I’m really glad my advice could be helpful to you. Keep staying strong and protecting yourself. Your life deserves to be full of peace and happiness. Wishing you strength and continued growth on your journey!
My question is "Do narcissists feel 'sacred' things similar to most of the rest of us?". I have noticed that Trump seeks out things that we as a society view as sacred, cemetaries, cathedrals, respect for veterans, societal conventions and he often publically defiles these objects of veneration. My unfortunate relationship with a narcissist also revealed a contempt for sentimentality.
Is it because the narcissist is not capable of having the feelings that sacred objects inspire in the rest of us?
Thank you for asking such an interesting and profound question! Narcissists often lack the ability to feel deep emotions or reverence for things we consider sacred. This may stem from their lack of empathy and their tendency to focus solely on themselves. They might view sacred values as tools for manipulation or self-promotion rather than truly appreciating their deeper meaning. Your observation is very thought-provoking and can help many people better understand narcissistic behavior.
I did this and they are on to their next victim 😢
It’s truly heartbreaking to see that, but what’s important is that you recognized it and got out of that situation. They will always move on to their next victim, but you’ve protected yourself. The fact that you were able to recognize and step away shows your strength and decisiveness. Keep taking care of yourself and moving forward on your new path, you deserve a life free from manipulation
Congratulations. You’re on your way to peace, happiness and true love.
You can't save the world. Protect and share your love and kindness with people who can reciprocate your positivity.❤
Be proud of yourself!! It is a painful journey but you will get there!!
What do you do when your adult offspring is the narcissist, the problem is dire, and it's either the relationship as it is or no relationship at all? Because I'm at the latter point, and I know this situation far, FAR more intimately than other family are aware of.
Thank you for sharing this challenging story. Dealing with a narcissist, especially when it’s an adult child, is truly difficult. If the situation has reached a point where maintaining the relationship harms your well-being, setting boundaries is essential. Protecting your mental health and peace of mind should be a priority. If possible, consider seeking support from a mental health professional to help navigate this situation in a healthy way. You’re not alone, and I hope you find a resolution that brings you peace
They do not regret! For anything else than us as a supply. Then they rewrite their fantasy to being we were all bad all the time.
Thank you for sharing such an accurate observation! Narcissists don’t truly regret their actions but only feel remorse when they lose their source of supply for their ego. Their tendency to distort reality and blame us is also a common manipulative tactic. I hope the video has helped you better understand this and find peace as you move past such toxic relationships.
This is exact in action of my x
Thank you so much for sharing! Recognizing these behaviors is an important step in understanding your past relationship and learning how to protect yourself in the future. I hope the content of the video has given you more insights and the strength to move forward with confidence and freedom!
Better pray to god and in final god come with justice and peace only leave everything on god in final god only come with justice only and peace only.
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful perspective. Indeed, the justice and peace from God are profound sources of strength during challenging times. Trusting in God and waiting for His justice is a way to keep our souls at peace and avoid being drawn into negativity. Thank you for reminding us of the importance of faith and hope.
@StoicPathways28 it the best way to solve any problems very soon too I believe in the best of best way only .
Okay I got it NOW, O'Neal
My narcissistic mans downfall was that I am smarter than him,so I caught on quickly and dumped/blocked him. Good thing is he’s in a city 5hrs away. So I won’t run into him
Thank you for sharing your story! You did an excellent job by quickly recognizing the issue and protecting yourself by ending the relationship and setting strong boundaries. Maintaining that geographical distance surely provides you with a sense of safety and peace of mind. I hope you continue to hold onto your confidence and clarity as you move forward!
THIS WOULD ALL BE GREAT IF HE DIDNT CONTROL ALL THE FINNANCES & MY JOB DOESNT PAY ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET OUT. ANY ADVICE ON MY SITUATION & I HAVE NO FAMILY TO ASK FOR HELP & IM 56 YEARS OLD .😔
Indeed, not having control over finances and lacking family support is an incredibly tough situation. However, you are truly strong for recognizing the problem and looking for ways to break free. One piece of advice is to start by seeking help from organizations that support victims of domestic abuse or non-profit groups that can assist you in protecting yourself and finding financial solutions. Additionally, consider looking into remote work opportunities or freelance work, where you can earn income independently. While your current situation is very challenging, you deserve a life of freedom and happiness. Stay resilient, and remember that you’re not alone in seeking help
Stop waiting for someone to rescue you...he's controlling YOUR finances..he's basically an empty vessel sucking the goodness out of you
I was there and now ten years later I’m still here and still suffering. Don’t do it ! Get realistic advice from a lawyer you are entitled to half of a house and half of any savings etc please don’t wait

Narc parents are exhausting... especially elderly ones... and relentless
Thank you for sharing! Truly, living with narcissistic parents is no small challenge, especially as they age and become even more rigid. The most important thing is to prioritize your mental health, find strength within yourself, and establish clear boundaries to protect yourself. You are not alone in this journey, and every small step you take to maintain your peace is a significant victory. Wishing you continued strength, resilience, and the ability to find serenity in life!
This vid made me think that I might be the Narcissist not my ex 😢
Thank you for sharing your honest feelings. Sometimes, videos like this can lead us to self-reflect and question ourselves, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The fact that you’re questioning and reflecting on your behavior is already a sign of awareness-something a true narcissist often doesn’t do. Give yourself time to gain better understanding, and if needed, consider speaking with a professional for a more objective perspective. Wishing you strength and peace.
Gain insight into the psychological games narcissists use to control others. Don’t be a victim-arm yourself with the knowledge to recognize and deal with them effectively!

Narcissist do exist however, one must carefully decide if they are real narcissists are whether they just don’t like you!
Indeed, identifying narcissists isn't always clear, as they can often hide their true nature. However, if you feel their behavior is continuously causing harm and they have no intention of changing, that’s the moment you need to recognize that it's time to distance yourself. Protecting yourself and not getting caught up in their mind games or manipulation is crucial. You deserve a life filled with respect and love, and when you recognize toxicity, it’s important to be strong and decisive in protecting yourself
You can not be a narcissist. It a code in the DSM-3-4-5 dumb ass. The best way to treat a human is ignoring them, treating them with silence. Great relationship advice.
Thank you for your contribution! Indeed, according to the DSM, narcissistic personality disorder is a clinical diagnosis, but in practice, narcissistic behaviors can still cause harm to others without an official diagnosis. Silence is a way for us to maintain peace and avoid getting caught up in psychological games. I hope you continue to watch the videos and find them helpful!

Hard part divorcef BUT he is still trying to break me playimg Im.on control I have money and I will try and break you financially over seriously things we had agreed upon from day one but then he changed his mind ...again a control I havent and wont ralk to him after 2 yrs and being with he for 30 yrs of abuse...but yes this is so true...
divorce is a tough step, but you’ve made the right choice by not allowing him to continue controlling your life. While he may try to manipulate you financially or go back on agreements, you’ve chosen to protect yourself and not let that toxicity affect you anymore. After 30 years, you absolutely deserve to live a life of freedom and peace, without being controlled or manipulated. Stay strong, you're heading in the right direction!

Please understand that I was just asking him to sharing our Past story and Emotions. Nothing I did I don't think so by talking to a person this thing or miracle can be happened. What if someone behind him doing something to Spoilt my self. Because I didn't do any Power ful Prayer.. sorry for me to myself can Miracle happen like this All of a sudden he wrote that something happened to him I didn't got it . I received a call and this one disconnected. .so later on I checked this message every where I thought something else happened. Please Lord Jesus I'm not involved in this healing it was just sign Talking. Thank you Universe and Gurdian Angel and Lord Jesus Amen
Sometimes life presents signs we can’t explain, and there are things we may never fully understand. However, it’s important to stay grounded in faith and not let unexplained events cause you distress or confusion. God always guides us, and if miracles happen, it’s through His love and care for us. Continue praying, trust in Him, and find peace in your heart. You deserve a life full of guidance and love from the Lord

I sincerely thank you for taking the time to watch the video and express your appreciation. It truly means a lot and is a tremendous source of motivation for me!

good to know! The key is always knowing yourself and not falling into toxic patterns. Keep being true to yourself
Its kinda hard when you have to see them.
Parents
We deeply empathize with the challenges you’re facing when having to interact with loved ones, especially parents, in such sensitive situations. Balancing family responsibilities while protecting your mental health is never an easy task.
Please remember that you have every right to establish necessary boundaries to ensure your safety, no matter how close the relationship might be. Prioritizing your mental well-being is not only a form of self-preservation but also a way to maintain balance in your life.
If facing them becomes overwhelming, consider seeking support from trusted friends or professional counselors who can provide guidance. We are truly grateful that you’ve shared your thoughts, and please know that you are not alone - we’re here to stand by your side and support you.
@StoicPathways28 Thank you
Hello , love you so much that when seeing them it’s a reminder that you are a winner and that he can no longer have access to the greatness you, that’s the best feeling …say to yourself everyday … I took my power back” and I am saving my power for someone who is deserving and worthy of my love … It’s hard but it takes a lot of self care and empowerment! You got this believe me it will work smile 😅in his presence and take care of you! I prayed to stop being frustrated…and what ever he texts me I copy and send it back…remember no response is a response!
It’s letting them know you are on to them so you automatically start talking a step back, don’t show them the emotions you showed them when they hurt you and degraded you then left you in a state then you would send pleading messages letting them know they hurt you. Yet they claimed they left because you were the ones who were erratic and causing conflict and it was your reaction to questions that were degrading and insulting but not to them, they were accusing you of something they were doing so they would create this situation in order to leave you so they could cheat , when I stopped reacting and tried to walk away from him and say, I’d rather not respond and speak with you in the morning, like you told me to do and then you would know that it wasn’t me and you were drunk again and that you would respect me more if I didn’t respond if you thought you were disappointed in me 😂, I kept doing this and then he would acuse me if being deliberately disappointed in him and would follow me around the house but give him no response, he would then get more angry and leave anyway. So just as I thought he was cheating on me like I knew him from school, slept with his brothers fiancee, cheated on 2 ex wives ( his story after meeting up with him 4” years later and he ended up in the military) but they all were to blame never him , I told him I was cheated on and I didn’t agree with tit for tat and I would never stoop to that level ever, eventually I ended it but he would not accept it and stalked threatened and harassed me for months and months and ignored 5 police warnings,he said he remembered me from school for standing up to bullying and also called my abusive parents out and got rid of physical and mental controlling relationships, I admitted my child abuse and adult abuse and trauma had put me in therapy, not as a weakness but a strength and I am happy and love the woman I have become because of that pain and suffering I am grateful and strong, yet he adored all this when I reunited with him, he met me when I was recovering from open heart surgery and survived another abusive alcoholic relationship but I was stronger from it , he was trying to destroy me from day one, and he knew my physical health was deteriorating but he didn’t realise my mental mind would catch him out and I called him out to the police, I always told him no one would intimidate me not even an ex soldier who threatened me holding a gun, I have been scared to leave my house for nearly a year now but knowing I may have saved one more victim and knowing every other woman he has been put through my situation and he’s got away with it until he reunited with woman he so called looked up to , but looked down on so much during the relationship, I don’t take pleasure from the outcome of his police record he caused all by himself, nothing was revenge it was karma that I always told him would catch up with people like him, and thanked him for allowing me to adapt and evolve from my experience with him 😂. His reaction was that I was a spiritual witch who had put a curse on him, , but the moral of my story is the way to destroy them is to show no fear and my final lesson learned at 54 is that I don’t need to waist any more energy on anyone who disrespects me once in the future because my gut always told me in that moment I was fighting a loosing battle so walk away with my head held high next time because my health is my wealth
Thank you for courageously sharing your incredibly inspiring story! Your journey is a powerful testament to maintaining self-respect and fearlessness in the face of immense challenges. Your ability to stand up for yourself and overcome all the pain is a wonderful source of motivation for anyone in similar situations. I hope you continue to hold on to this strength and keep building a peaceful and happy life.

@@StoicPathways28 You're welcome! Thank you for taking the time to teach good coping skills! So much heartache could be avoided in the US and beyond, if good social skills were taught correctly in our public schools.
I think it's immoral to paint people with trauma like "evil" and the advice given in this video to the "victim" is actually very manipulate and totally ignoring the pain it causes to the other person. I don't like how everyone thinks they are victims and have 100% the moral upper hand and then discard others as if they were parasites and not even human. That is not Christian and it is antisocial. Where is the compassion?
Thank you for sharing your honest perspective! I understand that this topic can be controversial, especially when it involves trauma and how people respond to it. However, I’d like to emphasize that the goal of the video is not to ‘demonize’ those who have experienced trauma or to encourage treating them as parasites. Instead, it aims to help individuals who have been manipulated or abused find ways to protect themselves.
You mentioned ‘compassion,’ and I completely agree that compassion is essential in every situation. However, compassion does not mean accepting or enabling harmful behavior, especially when that behavior impacts someone else’s mental health. Moreover, standing up for oneself and setting boundaries doesn’t mean disregarding the other person’s humanity; it’s about protecting dignity and balance in relationships.
I’d love to hear more from you about how we can balance compassion with self-protection when dealing with harmful actions from others.
@@StoicPathways28 I think all "victims" need to take responsibility for their own role in a toxic relationship. It's not the same as some random person attacking you in the streets. In any RELATIONSHIP there are two people. Both influence and trigger each other. If you don't know how to set boundaries you can't claim to have been violated. It's like all this metoo nonsense where people willingly have sex and then 20 years later claim it was rape...
Obviously there are cases like Weinstein etc. but I am talking about normal boy meets normal girl, they have sex, and she might have been insecure about it, not liked it or whatever, but she never said anything and went along with it and suddenly he has to be convicted of rape? It's like these videos. If you really are dating someone who is like this you are probably enableling them by not setting boundaries. Boundaries are not about giving others and ultimatum but about what YOU will do if they continue to gross your boundaries. Take responsibility for yourself.
I totally agree with you and I feel he's never been tourched psychological by such a person and I understand him.

I cant get a woman cause hey heard all her lies
You believe her lies are the reason you can’t build a relationship, but maybe the more important question is: Are you focusing too much on her instead of developing yourself?
If you let her lies control you, you limit your ability to move forward; instead, focus on building your own value, living honestly, and acting positively - that’s how you overcome misunderstandings and prove the truth
How is it that you can't see the narcissism within yourself? You pretend to be an expert on narcissism when you can't even see it in yourself...Hi there, I just want to weigh in on this topic. It's crucial to recognize that we all have narcissistic traits to some degree-it's part of being human and exists on a spectrum. Encouraging people to turn against family members or friends simply because they exhibit these traits can lead to unnecessary division and heartache.
Narcissistic behaviors often surface most in our closest relationships, where we are most vulnerable. By labeling loved ones as narcissists, you're creating a rift that can tear families apart. Instead of casting blame, we should focus on understanding and compassion.
Let’s promote healthier conversations about these complex behaviors instead of fostering an environment of animosity. No one benefits from this kind of labeling, and it ultimately harms the very relationships that matter most."
Thank you for sharing such thoughtful and balanced insights! I agree that everyone may possess narcissistic traits to some degree, and this doesn’t necessarily make them a true narcissist. However, I’d like to clarify that the video’s content is not intended to encourage people to turn against family or friends just because of a few misunderstood behaviors.
Rather, the main purpose of the video is to help people distinguish between natural human traits and the systematic manipulative and toxic behaviors of a true narcissist. Recognizing and protecting oneself from harmful individuals doesn’t lack compassion but instead ensures mental well-being and healthier relationships.
I absolutely agree that understanding and compassion are crucial, but at the same time, clear boundaries are necessary to avoid being hurt. What are your thoughts on finding a balance between compassion and self-protection?
I have a feeling half of you make uneducated assumptions on your partners.
Not this half. Ive studied cluster bs for years for my job
@@phoenixrisin2269 Well for those that haven't.....
You can't assume anything unless you also self reflect.
Remember, Narcassist can't fully self reflect. Making these videos candy for their ego.
