    If anyone changes their attitude towards you over what a narcissist has said behind your back, they weren’t someone you needed in the first place.

      Yes, but I will be sure to unload on them, and give them a perspective on the narcissist they apparently hadn't considered. You can't choose your parent or your siblings, but you can call them out when it's time.

      @@DHW256 chances are, unless your siblings have said anything about it themselves, they're too brainwashed to see it, and will report it back to your parents so they can get a "doggie treat", like the well behaved abused dog they are. Then your parents will act like victims, who have only ever helped you and been there for you.
      Best thing you can do, is not to react, and cut them off.

    You might be completely alone by the time you’re done with going no contact with everyone. But that is completely ok with me. All it does is let you know exactly who was fake and who was real. There are definitely a LOT of fake people in this world. I would MUCH rather spend all my time alone than to spend it with the narcissist and their flying monkeys.

Their pain and drama isn’t worth your health or even your life. Depending on the situation the narcissist is involved in or the type people the narcissist is surrounded around (Usually grimy people). Stand your ground. There’s nothing wrong with you. They want you to feel sorry for yourself. Forget them. THEIR actions either made them discard you or you caught on to them. (I did) They will never admit it but secretly your silence eats at them slowly 🤣

      That may all be true; once I went no contact and my X realised that I no longer answered his phone call and returned all of his letters, he wrote to my solicitor telling her that I'm incompetent, have a mental illness, blah, blah, blah. My solicitor sent him an appropriate response and contact stopped. Considering he had already ensured that I did not have any social network, he turned my children against me. Interestingly, some of his family have resumed contact with me. ... I wonder why.

      You're right. My narcissistic former friend tried to do exactly this, but so many people were sick of her at that point (it was always something with her and she was at the center of all of her self inflicted drama), that no one really paid any attention to her.
      Like a tea bag, she's steeped in self-pity and self-loathing for a long while. She had ruined yet another once-valuable friendship. Tragically, like most narcissists, she went looking for new supply and it turned out to be a friend of mine. He didn't know her the way I did. He lived several states away and only interacted with her on social media. We finally reconnected a few years after I went no contact with her and filled him in on the proverbial straw that broke the camera's back.
      He didn't know that she blew a very big and potentially prosperous business opportunity for me. She orchestrated my very unceremonious termination as the head of the whole operation, usurped my work and tried to turn it into her own little vanity project (I wish I could give you more details, but my work is currently finding new life) and when she was left there standing the bag, with no knowledge of how to run things, the persona she had created for the outside world began to crack.
      You see, I had been behind the scenes making sure everything ran smoothly. After all, the project was my brainchild. She had no clue what she was doing. Whenever she got stuck or didn't have an answer for someone in a position of power, I helped her come out smelling like roses. After I stepped down and effectively canceled any future of the project might have had, everyone got to see how full of shit she really was.
      My friend knew nothing about any of this. So, through ignorance to her true nature, he had hired her to work on one of his projects but, in her classic narcissistic fashion, she slowly tried to take everything over and make it all about her. In the years after I cut her off, he had seen instances of her lack of respect for boundaries, inability to handle a difference of opinion or disagreement, repeated lie-spewing over even the most trivial or minute things, no evidence of a solid work ethic, inability to work well with others, complete lack of respect for deadlines, complete failure to see value in other people's time or effort, etc. In short, she was the least professional person either of us had ever met.
      To make an already long story much shorter, my friend finally cut her off just over two years ago and is in the middle of the healing process. For a long while, he thought he was crazy. I introduced him to another former colleague of hers and she confirmed everything that we experienced. It's sad to say, she has been this way her entire life and shows no signs of changing. In order to change, a narcissist must admit that they have a problem, get therapy and if they believe in a higher power (whether it be God or another entity), ask for divine intervention to save them from the dumpster fire that is their life. We all know they won't do that. It's everyone else's fault, never theirs.

    So after I lost my home and job and had to abandon over 90% of my cherished memories, belongings, and furniture which he subsequently paid a junk hauler to take to a landfill and I have moved on with my life, this guy starts calling me trying to give me $15,000 cash. Sorry bud. You chose to punish me, so that was the end. You can't bully someone because you're angry and then pay to make it all better. You made your choices and you chose hatred and cruelty.
    They really are sick. It's a fine line between narcissism and sociopathy.

      I think you were right not to take the money. The devil's primary temptation is to use money and material status to degrade man.
      My husband's brother is the narc in our case. He's a conman, exploiter, liar, idealises the most shallow violent behaviour and delights in humiliating others. He's a total creep and really, really nasty to my husband. He's also quite well off, due to his seedy exploits. And he loves using money to manipulate others. A lot of people fall for it. They are the weak ones who get drafted-in as flying monkeys eventually.

      Yes. Ignorance is bliss and pretending that they don't matter to you is the best revenge.
      I have a narcissistic former friend that I know has it in her to try and resurface if it is beneficial to her. She's a bottom feeder in the local show business industry where she lives and has no real talent or ambition of her own. That's how the two of us met. I was an aspiring artist and she thought befriending me would be beneficial to reviving her stand-still (non-existent) career. Of course, all she saw me as was a stepping stone. To make a long story short, she stole my intellectual property, plagiarized it, committed copyright infringement and tried to pass it off as her own. Fortunately, for me, her writing skills were so bad, everywhere all changes were rather obvious and when trying to pitch “her story,” her inability to even get basic plot points right worked against her. Add all of that to her horrible attitude, no respect for boundaries, poor work ethic, complete failure to work well with others, lack of punctuality and having nothing resembling professional resume, not a single person believed her or gave her the time of day.
      It was after I went no-contact with her, her then-latest ponzi scheme went belly up. She tried to contact me under the guise of informing me of the death of a mutual friend. I had already blocked her on everything and changed my cell phone number, but she wasn't one to ever take a challenge lying down (unless it was the casting couch). She googled my widow mother's phone number and called her up looking for me. You read that right. A little fact about my mother: she is a German-Jew native New Yorker with a very big mouth. She takes absolutely no crap and makes Judge Judy seem like a cream puff by comparison. My mother was understandably appalled that someone would show so little class as to turn someone else's death into an excuse to talk about herself.
      My mom said something along the lines of: “The man died. Does that mean anything to you, you selfish trucking grunt?”
      That clap-back rendered my former friend speechless. When she managed to speak, according to Mom, she asked to have me call her back. Mom essentially said: “He blocked you on everything for reasons that are already well known to you. F*ck. Off.”
      Mom said my former friend “wailed like a baby” before abruptly ending the call.
      My career is starting to look up and unfortunate to have supportive individuals around me who respect my vision and me as a person. I pray to God my former friend doesn't crawl out from under whatever rock she's currently hiding. If she does, I'll just pretend I don't know her.

BS. He said it wasn't ill will, but "concern". LOL. None of the family members called me "out of concern", but talked behind my back.

    Narcs become desperate and will resort to extreme measures when going to no contact.
    Flying monkeys are dispersed by the narc because they know their target will ignore them. Narcs use flying monkeys to act as a proxy for them. Sadly, flying monkeys fall for the bait and abuse and terrorize the victim on orders given by the head narc.
    It's like flying monkeys are zombies lacking awareness and do what the narc tells them to do. If the main narc tells them to jump, they will ask how high.
    Most flying monkeys are covert narcs themselves and love drama, which explains why they gravitate to other narcs.
    On a positive note, flying monkeys or the main narc eventually turn on each other.

Oh he was great in the beginning and it seemed his true colors showed day by day until I was convinced he was a completely different person than the one I had first met. It's like he had a total personality change from decent to impossible. He started stalking me and he could not stand it when I was dating someone else. He was disruptive and actually went to my workplace to complain about me. I had already told my coworkers that he was crazy so they sided with me anyway.
    I actually had to move away not long after because he would not stop stalking me. I went full no contact but he ignored me. You all have to be so careful but I was afraid he would hurt me, attack me or kill me. I guess what I'm saying is that there are extremes in narcissism, some of them won't hurt you physically but some will. Just be careful.

    I started thinking....I may have to play this game because she told me to get myself “well” first before trying to fix them. She’s tried all she can to help me and feels so sorry for me. Got to be honest... at times you get such cognitive dissonance in wondering if it’s true. But here’s a good test... when you are away from them... peace comes back, relief, no anxiety. Sure, you worry about your children and how to play their game so u don’t make them angry enough to cut you off. You also will grieve a loss but you ha e to do that. There’s relief but you grieve all that you thought things were in your life. It’s an awakening.
    Now, back to my point....I am thinking of just playing the sick one so she thinks I’m trying to get well and haven’t come to my senses yet.... while time goes by. So far it’s been working but I can see the loose cannon syndrome getting ready to unload soon. They are so short fused, that you anxiously know it’s coming.

    All your videos describe exactly what I went through with my father! I was an adult, 38 years old, when he started beating me. When I got tired of it and moved away from him, he went on a smear campaign like you wouldn't believe!
    My support system that was very strong became almost non-existent overnight! He went through a never ending tirade against me at my Church, places of work (I say places because I was let go/encouraged to resign because he would show up at my workplace, reek havoc etc), friends' houses etc. My lawyer, who was at one point a member of my circle of friends, was the only constant I had besides the local police departments....3 local police departments, that is!
    After my father finally died, I had one real friend left and my Mom's best friend. However, after my Mom's best friend passed away, I was left by myself completely! Wait, I also had my Mom's 2 doctors for moral support and understanding. But they weren't friends, per se!
    All in all, it was a hellish experience!!!

    I lost my whole family (except my sister who was also a victim) to my narcissistic mother when I finally got away from her. She turned them all against me. My uncles, aunts and cousins started contacting me out of the blue, furious at me for things I hadn't done. Telling me I was 'dead to them'. When I tried to tell them what she'd done to me and my sister as a kid, they just got more furious that I was 'making up disgusting accusations'.
    This was 14 years ago. I have a good counsellor. Some days are better than others. I get depressed and suffer severe anxiety, but I've got my own family now. My primary goal in life now is to give my kids a good life. One very different from my childhood.

    One of the best things about going No Contact is that you'll be surprised at how many other people DO understand your action and support you. When I finally went no contact with my mother, other people who knew her said 'we're surprised it took you so long.' And true enough.
    The thing about a flaming narcissist is that they don't usually confine their negative activities to only one person. Other people have also felt the sting of their warped, controlling personality-so don't assume that everybody you know is going to side with them.
    The only people who were not terribly supportive of my 'no contact' stance were people who never met her, and judged my actions based on what their own relationship with their own mother was like. "Oh, but she's your MOTHER," etc. Pay no attention to these voices and stand your ground. Going No Contact with my mother was the most liberating action I've ever taken (and it's been over 40 years since I took it, and I've never had a single second of regret.) It gave me my life back.
    It's a shame, as my mother had many good qualities, and I learned a lot of good things from her, still share some of her interests and hobbies, etc. But ultimately her need to control everybody completely, and her chronic inability to ever be satisfied with whatever control she had, overtopped the good stuff. It just got worse as I got older, and eventually the 'enough' stage was reached. She had fair warning of the step I planned to take, and was given a chance to change her behaviour- but instead she regarded my line in the sand as impertinent and out of order, and yet another reason why I couldn't be trusted to run my life properly.
    End of.

    I went no contact with our narcissist mother after I caught her lying to her friends, calling me "...a weirdo who likes to hang out in cemeteries", because I confirmed her beliefs on her family history by visiting their homesteads and final resting places, and I took her to see those places. It was the final straw after 46 years of mental and physical abuse, misrepresentation, backbiting and gaslighting.
    Going no contact did not stop the backbiting and misrepresentation, but I was no longer around to be the direct recipient of it. Mom could have fixed the problems she caused, but she preferred playing the victim and continuing to destroy her own family. She eventually ran all her children off, though the flying monkey returned for their RDA of abuse, and eventually one of them gave her COVID, which killed her. I'm sure, somehow, that was my fault or the fault of one of the other family scapegoats.

I went no contact in 2018, but she continues to try and damage me. She doesn't realize it has absolutely no affect on me or my true friends and she is just wasting her time. While I have moved on with my life and enjoying myself, she is still stuck in the past. She is so possessed by her lack of control over me that I heard her health has been affected and she has been hospitalized off and on. I had managed to stay married to her for 30 years by becoming a work acholic and avoiding her. Of course the divorce court gave her about 67% of what I had worked for, but that is the way men are treated in divorce and why I would never get married again. She had gotten into drugs so I expect her to go through all that money in just a few years, if she doesn't over dose first.

    It's so true. The narcissist will do everything they can to smear you as a way to bait you and get you out of your solitude of no-contact. My narcissistic former friend tried to do exactly that. I didn't fall for it. There was only one friend of mine that she was talking to that I was still in contact with. He didn't believe her. He had known me longer and knew that everything she was saying was a grave exaggeration at best. He also knew that she was always surrounded by drama and flying off the handle over the most insignificant thing.
    While she failed to turn him into her flying monkey, she did, temporarily turn him into her new supply and rode his coattails for as long as he let her. When he and I reconnected (we had only been on minimal contact for a little while thanks to her triangulation), I spilled the beans on everything. Still, at the time he wasn't ready to cut her off because he thought there was hope for her. I cringed when I heard him say that because I knew the truth. People like her don't change. Fortunately about two years after him and I rekindled our friendship, he'd had it with her and went gray rock. Naturally, the following tactics employed by her were projection, devaluing, bread crumbing, hoovering, triangulation, etc. None of it worked. In a last ditch attempt to seemingly get the last word and retain her illusion of power, she blocked him. Fortunately, on social media you can block people who have already blocked you and that's what he did. He knew she would unblock him eventually and she was shocked as all hell to see that he had returned the favor.
    Even now, nearly two years later she's still sends emails to him which are synced to his iPad and he just deletes them. She's so desperate for attention and it's pathetic.
    I forgot to mention that when all of this went down, our former friend was a married woman, well into her 50s, a mother and a grandmother. Almost seems like she behaves like a teenager, doesn't it?

      Showing how completely unhinged my former friend is, when she discovered that I had gone no-contact with her, she flipped out. She even resorted to googling my widow mother's phone number and calling her up trying to find me. I mean, how dare I throw up a permanent boundary. In her mind that was unacceptable. She wasn't done abusing me.
      The reason she called was because it turned out a mutual friend had passed away unexpectedly due to a heart attack. Naturally, my former friend jumped at the chance to hijack someone else's tragedy by turning it into one of her spotlight performances.
      She left a voicemail and my mom was horrified that anyone would show so little class as to make someone else's death all about them. I mean, forget the fact that someone had died. His wife was now a widow, his children were fatherless and his grandchildren would never know their grandfather. My former friend's incessant need for attention was more important. How dare we ever forget that, right? For clarity, this now dearly departed acquaintance had a huge job opportunity lined up for my former friend. She was banking on said opportunity changing her life. All she could talk about was how the opportunity was lost: “I don't know what I'm going to do! I need the money!”
      When I learned that was who the strange number was, I told my mom to delete it and the voicemail. I later found out, that my former friend later made another attempt at getting my attention with her histrionics by dialing my mom's residence a second time. This time Mom answered. A little fact about my mom: she's a German-Jew native New Yorker with a very big mouth. She takes absolutely no crap and makes Judge Judy seem like a cream puff by comparison.
      Naturally, upon answering, Mom was subjected to an immediate rant courtesy of my former friend. It should come as no surprise whatsoever that she failed to even show a shred of sympathy for the deceased who supposedly meant so much to her. After she ran out of breath, Mom clobbered her.
      Mom: “The man died. Does that mean anything to you, you selfish f*cking c*nt?”
      My former friend stuttered and spluttered before managing to blurt out a request to have me call her back. Mom stuck the knife in.
      Mom: “He blocked you on everything for reasons that are already well known to you. F*ck. Off.”
      Upon delivering that rebuke, my former friend “started wailing like a baby” before abruptly ending the call.
      It's been over eight years. She hasn't tried to contact me and I don't care to ever hear or see her again.

    Spot on my experience. Details are freakishly accurate. I've learned a lot about the dark triad traits from a direct contact personal experience. These lessons can't be taught in books or any other form other than experience. The dark triad exists to teach others about oneself.
    SELF MASTERY is the solution. Man in the mirror.
    I would not have learned so much in depth about myself (human nature) had it not been for all the suffering endured with multiple dark triads. In the end, I realized that it was me who caused all the suffering!
    This post is meant to create awareness to those who are suffering. Once you learn about yourself, suffering ends almost instantaneously. You will become grateful for the experiences and ensuing lessons' learned from dealing with the dark triad. But wait, not only suffering ends but also the new found skill set will come in handy to push you to new heights.

    Narcisstic friend : She was forced to tell me where she had moved . So i went to she if something was wrong when she text brb . Someone said ambulance came for her . I called the hospital , nothing was wrong she is just that extreme. She said who is this , i told her , she went into a rage .cursing about the nurses , then she turned on me . Now she's disappeared again. Wearing someone else out . Glad when i found your material .

    Yep all points true. But I've set certain boundaries and law enforcement has been called ahead of time in case they physically show up. But I still can't guarantee someone won't get hurt unless my crazy Narcissist stays away!

    I'm no contact five years now. This will make you smile. Few years ago my ex narc sent a flying monkey, a hairdresser and mutual friend. So my ex goes and gets her haircut and asks the hairdresser about me. So few weeks later I'm talking to the hairdresser and she says my ex was in asking about me. To which I replied 'You must have me mixed up with somebody else cause I've never known anybody by that name.' I bet my ex narc went crazy went she heard I said that. Hahaha sometimes the good guys win.

      My hairdresser is a “friend” of the narc (“friend” entity) No Contact for a year and a half . She always slips in a “have you seen” da da da …. I don’t react … and find a way to dismiss or move on …. IMHO she is a flying monkey …. Sweet …. But I Don’t think she realizes she is playing that role !!!!!

    I’m in a unique position. My neighbor is the narcissist. Never had any contact really. But I opened a little bakery out of my house and it made her mad. She apparently is mad that I’ve been able to achieve and she has not gotten her similar venture off the ground. Totally not my problem she can’t achieve. But nonetheless she reports us to health dept routinely. Even called law on us. I’ve since learned she’s hot this mental issue. Ugggg
    But her continued behavior has increased our business. Opposite effect she wanted and she’s been forced out of her commissary kitchen arrangement as well as forced to resign her position with American legion. I’m certain she’s not home drafting an apology letter so we are on edge wondering what wrath we may suffer in the future. I hate living like this. She’s a waste of oxygen and needs to move. This community as a whole has no use for her. Despicable person and I’m here to learn what can be done about her. Obviously she cannot be rehabilitated. Argh
