      Spot on video!! Mine goes into the bathroom for over an hour as he rubs rogain all over his balding head. He then coats his entire body with lotion, then works his way to his face where he has two different skin creams; one made especially for his eyes and one for his face. I have never in 30 years seen him behave this way until he got a new supply. Now it’s become a nightly ritual of trying to stop the hands of time. He’s now older and is doing everything he can to regain his youth. I find it absolutely hysterical bc I don’t even know of a woman who spends that much time in a bathroom moisturizering their entire body from head to toe and he’s a guy. He’s also on a strict diet to loose all that belly fat. He also now shaves his armpits. Not sure what that’s about but the level he goes through every night primping is a joke! Nothing is going to hide the ugly evil that’s inside of him no matter how much lotion he put on the outside!!

      What your saying doesn’t make any sense , I’m am narcissistic so I can speak on this , trust me real narcs do not feel shame they actually thrive off it , narcs are shameless I guess you never met to many strippers or to many different type of people in your life , you sound like your speaking in isolation , like a person that doesn’t get out much . At least you don’t show your face I give that , I like u since your not hypocrite in that area like the other lady making videos like this .

      My neice is 25 years younger than me. Has a nice shapely body but her facial features are hard n her eyes have a vacant stare. It's scary when I chat with her. Says, she wants to look like me when she reaches my age. I'm sad for her with all her wealth and total EMPTINESS, but I sincerely love her.

    Absolutely true! I went on a date with a covert narc a few yrs ago and she was beyond obsessed with her appearance and social media. I couldn't believe her phone didn't die in 30 min. Imagine a mid 30 yr old taking constant selfies and repeatedly checking/uploading all her social media accts. She even wanted me to take pics of her in the park as if she was a model. No bs! When we grabbed dinner, she was taking so many selfies that the staff was staring at her with this look of disbelief. It was painful and embarrassing but hey one horrible date isn't so bad.

    Hello Clarice, thank you for this video, it was very informative. When I first met my ex I never noticed how many mirrors there were in her house. I just thought that it was a real ladies house. Very pretty, with lots of ornaments and collections of things, not a man’s house like my own, quite basic but comfortable with a few photos of the family, fruit bowls and couple of vases for flowers etc. I had a mirror in the bathroom one in the bedroom and that was it. Over time she amassed more mirrors throughout her house, bought mirrors to my house and complained because I didn’t have any full length mirrors in mine. Whenever we were out she constantly checked her appearance in the mirror, shops, supermarkets, walking down the street. She lives in a small block with three apartments in the block. She had a large mirror installed just before the main exit despite it being a shared space. Whenever we left she would check herself and spin around before stepping into the street. I remember her getting annoyed one day because I mimicked her actions after she had “checked the pose”. Now this video makes a lot of sense. Sorry for the long comment but it did make me smile a little. Just one thing, I do have quite a nice motorcycle, and sometimes when I am riding I find myself looking at the reflection in large shop windows. I hope this is normal, I don’t excessively check my appearance but the more of your videos I watch I think of things that she accused me of when it was her who was guilty of doing them. I had so many doubts I was afraid to say anything when she did hurtful things. Thank you again Clarice.

    • @censoringcensor8433
      @censoringcensor8433 3 года назад

      and yet, image is important. very few people are truly immune to that sense. how many times have you judged a potential employee incorrectly? how many times certain wordless senses were evoked in you that snowballed into something (you think disconnected) that became a problem for someone else? I'll bet you didn't even notice. Idk man, I'm considered a snake in western culture because we asians have some sort of appreciation for refinement and know how to hold our tongues and yet, I'm sitting here feeling a lot of you westerners are narcs considering your pride in silly things, judging others and forcefully opinionated despite being a know nothing layman. Covert narcs vs grandiose narcs eh? hahaha. Don't let silly notions of one part of a culture, one part of a social class within dictate your effect in life - ruining first impressions close doors. Appearing good - fawning - is a powerful strat for survival. You fawn, you keep the peace, you maintain the window of opportunity open for longer, you beckon windows of opportunity - might as well address every dimension possible to keep things good. This excessive hate of appearance in the west in baffling, for some of us in the far east, looking decent is respect to our guests. Let people do as do they do and understand what they are trying to communicate instead of projecting your own interpretation regarding their action taken.

    Fascinating.
    Looking back I see now why my ex narc discarded me.
    I had no idea at the time that my no non sense approach to life was completely exposing her.
    I strive to be facts-driven because I want to walk in the truth.
    Overtime it stripped away her facade and I didnt even realize it at the time.
    It wasn't even intentional on my part.
    I just had no idea what I was dealing with.
    I was just being myself.
    .when she left I was devasted and still now have pain.
    Thankyou for this insight.

    I called mine out via text. I don’t care. He can eat it. I’m not scared of the coward. I’m a tomboy and he messed with the wrong girl. I believe after everything I gave him a huge narcissist injury to everything of course he did to himself, but they will never ever acknowledge this. It’s always someone else’s fault. I bought a bmw and a year later I ran over to much water due to my lack of concentration with the TBI. Anyways 3 days after I bought it. He leased a brand new one. I’m sure he was secretly stalking me. Trying to one up me and become better than me which will never ever happen. He can never be me. So I posted on social media about my car issues, I’ll eventually buy a new one. Anyways he went and worked at the bmw I bought it from to see if I would buy another one while he was their. I told him everyone that worked there knew who he actually was. Total LIE, but he quite. I can play his sick games to. I am not one to be one upped. I don’t play like that. He’s a stupid fool.

    Detest narcissistic people! Obsessive vanity is very off-putting, it makes you appear an inward focused arrogant so and so, that lacks compassion and empathy. I'm a reasonably attractive person and take pride in my well groomed appearance with light hair styling just to make myself feel a little better about myself in day to day life as I've always had low self esteem and shyness. I don't feel the need to constantly take pictures of myself. I find it hard work to get a picture I look good in because I'm not very photogenic and find that it's effort that I can't be bothered to waste energy on like I once did as a teenager. I probably update my social media picture once a year now. I really don't understand this new age self obsessive anyone can be their own celebrity mentality.. all this social media materialistic filtered false fame. rather be out in nature away from these kinds of people where I can be at peace and one with the tranquility ✌

She didn't say anything and ran straight to the bathroom. Later I had found out she had had Botox injections the day before. Oops! I felt embarrassed but at the same time I had a good laugh about it. I don't think she would have found it so amusing.😂

    If the narc has so much shame, then why would they kill animals and then blame shift another to conceal such horrendous deeds. To me they fear less than their desire to harm defenseless animals. Or does that behavior fall under a different name such as psychopath? So in this case, the narc has gone into stealth mode to character assassinate the accidental witnesses by claiming the witness is crazy, therefore not believed. Now the witnesses privacy has been breached to the point having personal things stolen from their home and being stalked. In this case, it is a next door neighbor.

    • @ExposingtheNarcissist
      @ExposingtheNarcissist  4 года назад +3

      You said it. They fight to conceal it because they don't want others to know about this shameful act. Narcs will do anything they can get away with. The shame comes when others find out.

    can't cope with shame if you're born right into it. beaten, humiliated since you gained consciousness of the world. and shame is only the beginning of more detrimental effects and events - it's fucking terror I will do damn well to avoid. narc, borderline, w/e - we do what we must to survive and maybe at one part of the labyrinth, we can find pathways that lead us to healthier ways. but it is so alien, how do we feel what supposedly most everyone feels now that your brain is far past development, crystallized in adulthood? Flexibility isn't the same even after maintaining it with good nutrition, mental and physical exercises. Plus, spiritual materialism - external cues enriching your spirituality, look like yourself and so feel more like yourself which can lead to better things for yourself whether you can now act on it or beckon it. How much of these definitions are based on 1 paradigm of 1 culture? Balances shift depending on even your immediate surroundings. Any boon, I'll take - living on what some culture or social class consider to be virtuous is like shooting myself. Are you sure some of you aren't just lashing out all the same and considering another evil when it is you who missed opportunities? it's like the nice guy gamers hating on women for being this and that when it reality, they are merely turning their own incapability into someone else's evil. And it's funny, these things are not ok as a person but it's okay as a movie, a story, marketing etc. why? The effects are always in play. I wonder what these patterns contribute to in the ecosystem. What is the role of a vampire in god's creation?

      @ExposingtheNarcissist  5 лет назад +4

      Good question. Guilt is that feeling that comes when you take responsibility for something that has gone wrong.(Narcs don't do this) Whereas shame is that terrible feeling you get for being or appearing inadequate. I read some where that Shame focuses on self where as guilt focuses on behaviour.

    Maybe if you took the time to understand that you said yourself that it comes from past insecurities aka traumas…. A bit more consideration would be nice instead of just degrading your fellow humans, ESPECIALLY when you’re AWARE that that is their weakness! “Shame: a PAINFUL emotion caused by consciousness of guilt, shortcoming or impropriety” if someone feels that to the point of it being physically noticeable, maybe try helping them instead of making fun of them on the internet…… maybe give them some actual useful advice instead of just saying f*** you
