      Yes! They love to irritate, upset, or anger their victims. My mother, as soon as she knows that something would inconvenience us or upset us if she does it, THAT EXACT THING, is what she will do over and over again to bother us. When I see my husband telling her “please don’t do this or that” I already know IT was a mistake!

      So true! When I first told my mom after a visit to the doctor, that I came out with High Blood Pressure, and had to take medication, I saw that diabolical smile in her face. I still see after many years that scary face, and being that I was always troubling myself with an unending stack of ‘do this and that’ for her, including that same day.

      Mine has always done that. As I get older it's even more frustrating because I have a hip going bad and can't even walk as fast as I used to and she still does it. Just runs off and leaves me in a store, scooting around doing "her" shopping. I used to spend half my time just trying to figure out where she ran off to. These days, I just go and get the things I need. She comes around to the basket and puts her stuff in and goes and gets more, but I'm doing giving any cares about it. Let her run all over the store like a little squirrel gathering nuts.

    Holy crap, the gift giving!!! My mother is a master of this. One Christmas, she gave me a laptop. It wasn't one she'd paid for -- it was something she didn't need, that she'd gotten for free. I didn't care, and I quickly fell in love with it. I made the mistake of telling her how happy I was and mentioning all the writing I'd done on it -- about 700,000 words in just a few months -- and she asked... BUT DO YOU DO ONLINE WITH IT??? And I explained that no, I couldn't get that to work just yet. She replied... IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO USE IT, I WANT IT BACK. I explained again how much I loved it and how much I used it, and she said IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO USE IT, GIVE IT BACK. Finally, she agreed that I could keep it... but that it would also be my birthday present.
    She also loves to give me shorts when she knows I don't wear them because of insecurity about my body. She especially loves to give me any clothing that is white because she knows I don't wear white (I inherited my father's clumsiness, and if it's white, it's going to get red sauce of some kind on it). One year she sent me a present, and the husband and I took bets on whether it was something white or shorts. It was both. We collapsed into a pile and laugh-cried until we couldn't breathe.
    Other hilarious clothing she's given me: a frilly flannel nightgown/circus tent that looked like it had come from Little House On The Prairie and took up an entire drawer to itself; a sweater that looked like the love child of My Little Pony and the Carebears if they'd all been on acid; a frilly blue shirt that was so baggy and large, it looked like a mumu. I kept it in my closet and made a fake shrine to it. I told everyone I'd converted to mu-monism.

    Nailed every one. When my narc boss would lead his mtgs...he would always let the audience know that all Q & A will be at the back end of our mtg. Without fail, he would intentionally speak with half delivered instruction, news, & facts, hoarding information. Naturally, we'd have lots of questions. Every single time someone would ask a question, he would say 1 of 2 comments 1) "we'll talk off line about that. Come see me in my office. Which he knew no one would ever do that & therefore, off the hook. 2) "I'll check into it" which he would never do. The beauty w/ that line is he offers no date to get back with you. If you reach out to him, he stonewalls you. When we reach out to HR expressing our frustrations, they say " you need to talk to him about it," During an in person mtg. @ a coffee shop w/ my direct mgr.( boss's flying monkey) I mentioned I had tried to call him over 12 times regarding questions. Never heard back. Mgr.'s response was " it may take you 1,000 calls to reach me..just keep trying. (" It took every fiber in my body not to throw scolding hot coffee in his face) I said since I have you here, I'll ask you now. He said no, call me.

And if his enmeshed sister was in the mix he would always always default to walking with her. And if I needed his help like in the snow or stairs I would have to keep calling his name until he would reappear again glaring at me with his trade mark stink eye! I was invisible, ignored, and felt like a weeping child lost in a crowd. And he loved every minute of it especially if I tearfully complained. But that was then, now I know better.

    OMG, yes! Regarding the gift giving, I asked malignant narc who was going on vacation to bring me back a little souvenir (I had gotten souvenirs for him when I was on vacation) and he flat out told me NO, unless I did a really big favor for him first. He literally wanted me to set him up with someone he wanted to sleep with!!! In essense, he thought it was fair for me to become his pimp! Mind you, I knew before hand that he was going to the store that sold the trinket! I had even said that I would reimburse him! That was the wake up call after years of devaluation, gaslighting, narc rages, etc... I've gone no contact with him.

    Narcs want to be in control. I believe it stems from environment. Growing up . Yes I have noticed them talking to selves in car . My brother the golden child excelled . He inadvertently married a high achieving narc . In his 36 year marriage I saw the pain on my brother's face . He married wrong person. His wife banished, ostracized and estranged me . Thank you.

    Oh my gosh! You are so spot on with each one of these! More people need to be warned about such a horrible personality disorder. Thanks for your videos. At this point, thank goodness, I walked away months ago and now see this as humorous because each one happened to me. My favorite being, #9, when I would ask him a question about his whereabouts, when he wouldn't answer his phone and disappear for hours (cheating, obvious to me now but he would of course always deny when i would ask him if there was someone else) but his response would always be, *What do you mean?" How simple and straightforward is, "Where were you?"
    At the end of the day, I have learned it is all about self love. So if I allowed this man in my life to manipulate, control and abuse me it was because I had not learned to love myself first, to put myself first to not allow this behavior to continue, lack of boundaries doing everything to please him and his double standards. He once accused me of not being at work because I came home to shower first. He said you never do that. I should have known better and realized he was accusing me of something he was doing. No wonder he always came home and showered. So many difficult lessons learned. If you're in a narcissistic relationship, please get help and get out. Before you get sick and start losing your sanity.

    My narc husband did give me a dress as a gift which was way too small for me. I left all the many gifts and loving cards there when I left because I figured the gifts were some sort of manipulation. Many times I would get gifts the day after his bout of silent treatment or rage while I was still trying to process what had happened the day before. I was certainly not ready to accept a gift as I was emotionally hurting.
    Sometimes he would talk under his breath, "I have a cook!" "Marriage is hard!"
    Or make quiet insulting statements near my ear. One time he held his breath like a kid and told me I gave him an aneurism, he's in his 60s, Creepy!

      The nearer to death they are the more sentimental they become in their delusional manipulations. Signing the gift card this Christmas with his name and that of my beloved dog gone these many years was epic. He hated my 18 pound dog. So much so that he uses the burial site as a place to hoard another one of his rotting wood piles. They on their best day forget who they are talking to. And that we too are capable of keeping score...

And began talking about the tax stamp on the bottom of the cigarette box. I needed to discuss the kids lunches for next week while we were there in the grocery store but he couldn't hear a word I was saying. Nothing could be as interesting as that tax stamp.

    Another great and informative video. Thank you, Jill! This reminded me of the time that my ex gave me a new garbage can and bathmat for my bathroom for Christmas. That was it. And she told me that she didn't like my previous garbage or bathmat so that's why she gave me them. (We had been dating for 6 months at that point.) When I began to voice my disappointment (since I had given her a $750 coat) she screamed at me and berated me that I should have taken the "high road" and just accepted her gifts since she suddenly felt embarrassed by them (insert eye roll here). Unfortunately I wasted another 7 months with this narcissist but the happy ending was mine. A few years after I broke up with her I saw her profile on a dating site and she was divorced!!! LOL!!!

    They walk ahead of you to make you feel like a lazy blob who walks too slow. In reality, you’re just walking at a pace that is comfortable for YOU. That doesn’t mean you’re “slow,” or that less gets “done” in a day. Narcissists like to appear “busy,” but are actually lazy and unproductive because they waste a lot of time harassing others.
    When they bark out orders, it always puts me on edge (I freeze), or feel pressured, my chest tightens up, etc. It really messes up your nervous system. Should we follow the order if the room really DOES need to be “picked up,” or do we ignore it? Walk away?
    I can totally relate to your list. Thank you for discussing these less talked about traits!

    #1. The Gift "Giving" part in my experience;
    1. They may never actually "give" you the gift, but expect to have part-ownership in that item and will often use or "borrow" it for their use, where even sometimes they will borrow or use that gift so often that they'll just end up keeping it, because you're not using it as often as they expect you to or they will act like their life depends on needing that item and will intrusively swindle it back.
    2. They will often give you a gift out of the blue with the hidden motive of demanding an inconveniencing favor in return and will threaten to take the gift away if you don't follow through with their demands & expectations.
    2-POINT-5. They may try to give you something as a gift you don't really need, where they will aggressively keep insisting for you to accept it. And of course they'll want something in return, either a favor, item or to just be heavily thanked & praised for their "kind" gesture and will also try to guilt you.
    3. They won't get you a gift all together, because you're more financially stable than they are and often wager out that it would not be fair for them to spend a good portion of their funds on you, when it would be little to no cost for you to just get that item yourself...(They're also very nosey about other people's finances.)
    3-POINT-5. They didn't get you a gift, because things have been really "hectic" lately and they didn't have a single moment to shop around.
    4. They will often ask you throughout the year how you're liking and enjoying the gift and often add in silly exaggerated suggestions or tips on how to fully utilize the item to make your life better.
    4-POINT-5. Years down the road they'll ask if you still have that gift they got and if you don't have it anymore(because it broke etc.) they'll express frustration and demand a full explanation as to what happened to it.
    5. They may get you something completely silly, cheap or just very odd and then make up a pathological-lying story as to why they think it would be perfect for you.

    And definitely #10. He takes pride in his garden and thinks he's the king of the neighbourhood but has no problems doing illegal dumping. I saw him load up the back of his car with branches he trimmed off a tree and drive off and return soon after with the car empty. And not the first time he has done that.
