  • #narcissist #narcissisticabuse Narcissists live in a fantasy world. Although they appear to view the world in the same way as most other people, their perception is much different than it seems.

    When I try explain to people what it is like with a narc, people don't believe me, they just look at me and seem to say maybe it's me, but I know what you are saying is real. I now say the hell with these people and I can say I know things about narcissism that you will probably never know.

    Wow! Great analogy/interpretation based on what I've observed in the actions, thoughts, feelings and outlook of the narcissist in my life!! Makes the puzzle that is this man come together in a clear picture... especially considering what his tragic early life must have been like.... life-long escapism?

    Excellent video. You explain the truth of being w a narc very well. Their flying monkeys would be a video that I’d be interest in watching too. It’s shocking to me how the narcs friends follow the narc so blindly and are just as mean and unconscious.

    The one thing i have been told about the narc is abandonment , it can be so destroying to them its a real fear that nobody will know or even remember them , in fact i remember some years ago there was a guy who set fire to a block of flats killing some people, it seems he did because he said the people were putting him down and stopped him becoming a famous DJ they ruined his chance of fame , so they had to pay, im not sure but he was sent to Broadmoor i think

    They never take responsibility on their empaths. They are dumb on reciprocity. Their bonding is unstable and ambivalent. Instead to assess their real vis-a-vis they are habitually blind and substitute that blindness by exagerated phantasies either by overvaluing or by paraniod daemonisation. It faciltates instant discarding as well as hoovering.

    Although they do live in fantasy they also live in reality and are well organised for overseas holidays, one is a solicitor and owns multiple apartments and also works as a solicitor, she seems to be able to make the impossible become real; the other one also works in a responsible job and is constantly visiting friends and going overseas and places in the country, they are both as mad as hatters but they are much more organised than i am, i'm always fighting depression and i do ok but i am all over the shop really but i am doing pretty ok, the depression is debilitating and i have add, i am scattered, they do not have these problems; they are obviously miserable buggers, they never laugh or smile much in my company, not that i am seeing them much, i have ghosted youngest and when she rings which is a few times a week i don't answer, i have had enough of her pulling me down at every opportunity, she is an enemy not a friend! At least I still smile and laugh, although losing my cat has cast a dark cloud around me!

    His mere presence was a “gift” to others. He was either suspicious of others or was being admired from afar, even by people who didn’t know him. He felt people were available for his USE. ….why wouldn’t they want to be a minor player in his story.

  • @dontbeadogsbody3564

    My soon to be ex narc would get this weird dreamy look on his face, and with half-closed eyes would say, “do you love your husband?” (and towards the end when I would hold back my gag reflex), he would literally say “just pretend”. What a mental patient. I thought he was kidding, but now I realize he was serious. He would’ve been happy with me simply PRETENDING because it would’ve kept his crazy weird internal fantasy world going. If the women he worked with knew what was going on inside his head, they would run away screaming. 🤢

    My ex was so loving. Attentive, kind. Like no one I've ever met. I was his soul mate. His life his world. He became part of my family, my young son called him dad, my ex pushed for this before it was even considered by us. Over time naturally they grew closer and my son did call him dad. That lasted a year. Then came my ex picking faults with the tiniest of things. Where I kept my furniture, or what food I had in my cupboards. To bigger things like wanting to discipline my son. Why son really is an angel, he's not a bit of bother. My ex discarded me brutally after pushing for us to get a home together, he sent me a voice note to say goodbye. He was going to open his own shop and didn't need myself or my son pulling him back. I'm floored. My son is also. Is this man a narc? I'm only just looking into this and realising what I thought was real might not have been after all. I'm very confused and have no closure. He said he will always care for me but hes moving up higher in life and wants to have a baby of his own with the right woman for him.

  • @teganflyman5352
    @teganflyman5352 4 месяца назад

    I’m coming to realise I’m likely a “vulnerable” narcissist and all I can say is it’s a lonely and painful existence. I do care about others but if their happiness threatens mine or overtakes mine I can’t stand it. It’s exhausting and I’ll likely spend the rest of my life trying to recover/ become healthy. Much has already been lost.

    I live in a fantasy world too, but some of the things you mentioned about the narcissists don't apply to me. Does that make me a narcissist too? I think I'm a pretty reasonable mature person.

    • @LookingBehindtheMirror
      @LookingBehindtheMirror  3 года назад +5

      I think narcissism is a lot more complicated than each separate trait. We all have some narcissistic traits. It’s also very unlikely for an actual narcissist to wonder if they might be a narcissist.

  • @BigRebel0802
    @BigRebel0802 2 месяца назад +3

    I told my narc “adult “ daughter I had to have a cancerous thymoma removed from behind my breast bone. She got angry!! And she never once called me after the recovery time when I also contracted Covid and severe bronchitis. In the winter. For 3 months. Not even a cheery phone call from her 3 young children. Nothing. No asking if I needed groceries or whatever, nothing. Actually, she gets mad when her own children or husband are sick. I’m 73 and live alone. If that isn’t evil, then nothing is.

  • @ordoabchaos2859
    @ordoabchaos2859 Год назад +3

    This person I know always says they were with me in certain events that I was doing when they most definitely were not. Is this the same thing? They will even get mad if I say you weren't there when that was happening. Idk it just makes me think im the one going crazy.

    • @LookingBehindtheMirror
      @LookingBehindtheMirror  Год назад +2

      Some people might actually have trouble remembering things correctly. I think the more troubling part of this is the fact that this person gets angry when you try to correct them instead of considering what you’re saying. Narcissist or not, I’ve personally had my fill of people like that. There are too many reasonable people I could be spending my energy on.

    • @ordoabchaos2859
      @ordoabchaos2859 Год назад +1

      @Looking Behind the Mirror Thanks. Yes I guess what a kind of red flag was with me at least is that the situations they claim to have been in with me are work related and makes them appear as if they were helping me deal with certain things which made them look more involved than they actually are. Thanks for the response.
