  • IGNORING THE RED FLAGS OF TOXIC PEOPLE CAN ALTER YOUR LIFE. SOME WARNING SIGNS THAT NARCISSISTS SHOW
    SOMETIMES THE RED FLAGS OF NARCISSISTS ARE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE. IGNORING RED FLAGS CAN ABSOLUTELY ALTER YOUR LIFE and HAVE YOU UNHAPPY FOR THE ENTIRETY OF YOUR LIFE. TRUST YOUR INTUITION BECAUSE YOUR HEART WILL GET YOU HURT A LOT OF TIMES. LIVE WELL AND WIN
    Welcome my channel! If this is your first time seeing my face or hearing my voice, my name is Lee and I am a self aware #narcissist. I have narcissistic personality disorder ( NPD ) and I've been in therapy for my personality disorder since 2017 and it has definitely changed my life because without it, I would have lost everything.
    The point of these videos is to help bring awareness from the other side of the narcissistic *buse spectrum. All my videos give perspective on why many narcissists do what they do and the possible different reasons behind them. The victims and survivors get validation and the #Narcissists (those that are willing) get to see that you can get help and that you are not alone.

You never know a person till you live with them and stupid me still wants to try and make things work ( although in my heart, I know it won't).

    One thing someone said to me that changed how I felt about the toxic person in my life was “if he’s the same person 1,2,5 years from now and doesn’t change, would you still want to be with them?” When I realized I was focused on the potential of him changing vs who he really was, I left.

  • @kelleysmith4353

    I hate that. I'm a devoted Christian and have been one for 40 years. GOD DOES NOT CONDONE US EVEN THINKING ABOUT us being in, engaging or even tolerating toxic folk. While God says that we must love people, He does tell us to separate from folk who are duplicitous, sneaky, full or strife and chaos whether they be IN the church or OUT. He even tells us not to be friends with angry people. (Proverbs 22:24) So if He doesn't want you befriending an angry person, then you know He wouldn't want you messing with a toxic and/or narcissist person especially one who refuses to change.

      @@jacqueline4365 Hi Jacqueline. I apologize for my delayed response. I'm so sorry to hear that. I understand because there's toxicity everywhere and in every family even in some parents. To answer your question about bible references, a scripture God gave ME years ago in regards to guarding myself against toxic folk is Proverbs 4:23 "ABOVE ALL ELSE, GUARD your HEART with ALL DILIGENCE for out of it pursues the ISSUES of life." Short synopsis: What we open up our hearts to we reproduce (ISSUES). We (not anyone else) are responsible for becoming aware and honest and remaining active in protecting ourselves (ALL DILIGENCE). So set boundaries to protect yourself (GUARD your HEART). Doing it is paramount (ABOVE ALL ELSE). Here's what you need to realize, remember and keep in perspective about toxic family members, a toxic relationship is a toxic relationship whether it be friend, family or foe. What am I saying? No matter the relationship, you do not have to or should NOT expose yourself to toxic behavior from folk just because you're related especially if the person doesn't change. Period. Love them but love them from a distance. Blood is not always thicker than water. I have bible for that. God called Abram to leave his country, friends and family (Genesis 12:1) but Abram disobeyed and took Lot, his nephew, with him which resulted in unnecessary drama/ISSUES. While the bible does say that we should honor our parents (Exodus 20:12), JESUS shows that family relationships should not usurp principle (Matthew 12:46-50). Principle is fundamental truth or behavior and the fundamental truth in this context of dealing with toxic folk is Proverbs 4:23. Hope this helps. Free feel to DM on IG at @godsmoguldrdyan if you have anymore questions regarding scriptural application if you'd like. Other than that, please, please, please keep watching and listening to Lee because HE'S ON POINT especially in today's emotionally detached and desensitized culture.

      Oh we get it. We just think the "(narc) is more beneficial than being alone....like doctors say (bad medicine) is more beneficial than the side effects it will cause.
      So we ignore the flags hoping those conflicts (side effects)we know for sure are gonna come are easy to deal with. It never is though because the cosignant dissonance will always reveal are true thoughts. We must stop gaslighting our damn selves. I thght I knew it all until I met a covert. Played me like a PS3.

    My narcissistic partner used to go through my phone, looking for something to be jealous or mad about. There wasn't anything to find because i was completely loyal, but he would find like a message from one of my friends that said he was a jerk or something, and fight with me about it. I guarded my phone, but was too afraid to look at his. He was very angry if he caught me "snooping." I left because it was easier to be alone than with him.

    Waiiitt so I’m only 40 seconds in and you said “putting your phone face down and having it on silent is a classic sign!” … I joined the military at during a time when you weren’t even allowed to walk and talk on your cell phone. In boot camp we were TAUGHT to turn our phones over as a sign of respect/giving full attention and certain military jobs REQUIRE phones on silent. So it becomes a HABIT. In my instance, add in motherhood and never wanting to wake up a sleeping baby and that habit of keeping my phone on silent got bigger. It was never about hiding anything in relationships. Further, my daughter listens to sleep stories on my phone to go to sleep every night, so my phone stays in her room overnight. It’s not cheating/toxic/narcissistic/red flag etc. No there is no passcode on my phone and my ex Narc always had access, BUT •sometimesssss• these things aren’t red flags. Occupation /lifestyle matters! I know tons of military people who silence their phones because we moved toward WhatsApp and there’s just too many notifications. Every case is different 😩😩

    @Mental Healness - It's a great talk, Lee! I want to kind of explain why sometimes it's sooo hard to leave toxic people. I'm not sure how often it's mentioned.
    Leaving toxic relationships (also friendships) is extremely hard for those of us, who are constantly rejected, or simply unwanted in our life.
    I absolutely agree that there are 8 billion people in the world, but in reality, for many of us there's no one genuinely interested in us. And then the jerk appear. Sometimes his ONLY positive feature is that he is the only person to whom we are 'visible'. And sometimes he is the ONLY person who is present in our life. And then, such toxic person, as it was in my case, blackmails you saying, that once you leave him - you will end up alone. I left him, I am alone. And VERY lonely. I am proud of myself, that I escaped the abuse, by my heart breaks that the only part of my life when I felt 'visible', was with him. I don't really know how to deal with it and how to process it.
    I believe the same thing causes many victims to stay, or being unable to live a happy life. Those of us, who got "recruited" from the place of deep loneliness and abandonment, return to that place once as soon as we escape the monster. It is super painful.

    This is so spot on! E.g. I always take my phone with me just because of my privacy, but if my partner would ask me to give him the phone I wouldn't have a problem with it. I just don't feel comfortable partners reading my texts with other people (e.g. I might have a friend telling me something personal). Yet again, I had a partner once who wouldn't give his phone no matter what and I knew he was texting back n forth with his ex. Even though he had told me it was just casual, I broke it off THE SAME NIGHT HE REFUSED TO GIVE ME THE PHONE, cried for the next 8 months, but didn't want someone to fuck up with the simple logic. Turned out he was a cheater, of course. I don't understand why people ignore such obvious things.

Sadly, the same qualities that made her so much fun in bed were also the qualities that made her a terrible partner for me in the ways that really matter. But now I can take what I've learned and let it be a gift to the ones who know how to properly receive and reciprocate the love I have to offer.

    You crack me up Lee. But for real, ignored those red flags 🚩 in the beginning.. it’s true. Same reasons you get hurt in the end. The one I could not ignore was the lack of relationship and blaming of his own kids 💔 of course when I brought this up ( being a mother myself I told him it was unacceptable really and he needed to make it right with his kids) he blames me for not having his back and siding with his kids’ mom. Smh. This to me was one of the lowest things someone can do. It broke my heart for them. Yes if someone isn’t loyal to their own flesh and blood they will never be loyal to you. Thank you so much Lee 🙏🏽

    Love your honesty and passion. I so needed to hear this years ago. But no instead I spent 8 years ignoring ALL of the red flags, he lied about ANYTHING & EVERYTHING, cheated on me over 20 times, had a kid behind my back, emotionally and physically abused me. I literally forgave him for everything, bought him anything he wanted, to make him happy, in the stupid belief that he would change!
    Praise the lord I came to my senses and got out nearly 3 years ago, BUT it had a devastating effect on me & I can no longer trust any man. I refuse to let any man get anywhere near me. Single for the rest of my life, but very happy with that decision.
    Keep shouting from the rooftops Lee there are plenty people out there who need to hear your wisdom…… love you!! 🙏🏻❤️

    And sometimes they'll leave the phone around you either as a power move knowing there's some questionable things in there it's like they know you won't look in the phone or like they're daring you to look in there.... because your intuition is never wrong those late night calls when the phone is ringing off the hook, nonstop text messages throughout the night and sometimes they'll just look at the phone and let it ring like they know not to pick up cause I'm there and when you ask them about it it's always a family member or sometimes they won't answer you at all which leaves your mind going crazy

    Lee, thanks for your passion in this matter ❤ I believe you're so angry 😠 because you care ( it's sad you care more about us then we care for ourselves). Alot of us have stupid big hearts 💕 and care for others more than we care for ourselves. Having this kind of empathy definitely gets us hurt, used, frustrated 😠 😡 and tired. To many we look 👀 like fools ( and we are) but when we love, we love ❤ or we've been beat down ( mentally) so bad that we don't know that we deserve better. It's a sad 😔 vicious cycle that many of us feel we can change or deserve, I know that o one deserves to be used, abused, or taken advantage of but the heart is not so smart.

    We meet a narcissist for a reason.. We must learn something. Only when we are done with the lesson we are not over with him. I did not listen to anyone. They were right. But I was not ready. I had to learn my lesson the hard way. Narcissist is a teacher. We are a certain way, unconscious, too nice, naive, etc. A lot of things make us atracted to a narcissist. In some ways we want to be more like him. We start living through him. Because we don't really have a life. We are bored with life until we meet that fire. And then we get burned. Until we know what makes us so attracted to him we cannot be free. We will look for another narcissist. And another. YOU DO A GREAT WORK HELPING US TO UNDERSTAND OURSELVES WHEN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOU/THEM AND HOW IT ALL WORKS.

    I honestly sob when I watch Lee's videos because they hit so hard. My heart and soul are irreparably broken, all because I was a caring, trusting 18 year old who fell for a manipulative, evil, conniving man almost 20 years older than I was. And I had an entire religious community telling me I wasn't working hard enough to fix the marriage. It all ended when I was just shy of 46, and I lost everything. I mean everything. He won. 100%. And then the one relationship I get into? Of course with a super toxic narc. Despite serious therapy. Now I'm 54 and broke and broken. I wish people like Lee and Ben would have been around when I was young and still had a chance because the info hits differently when it comes from them. I bought Lee's self love journal last night. I'm not one to journal, but wtf. I really can't emphasize enough how much I wish videos like this would have been around when I was young and still had a chance. At least Lee can save many young people today from wasting their lives the way I did mine.

And they give it to us then we think we on cloud 9.while we actually are on red sea. Thanks for this. This time when I am going to be in a relationship, his family and friends will not be included to sugar code his behavior and his intentions. Because we put ourselves in a vulnerable situation by sometimes listening to their families while in the meantime what they say does not compare to their actions

    I thought of the flip side of this coin! Where some "victims" have been so ultra monitored, micromanaged and beat down that They end up having these same behaviors to protect their phones! Doing these same "hides" at all cost even though they have zero shady stuff on their phones. Their personal everything/ boundaries are always targeted for destruction. Because a blame-shifting, projecting, controlling narcissist type will find a way to use/leverage a simple puppy photo they have or an innocent "hello" text to their own grandma against them in some convoluted way.
