I wish you would stop making your statements as sweeping generalization. It is not true that all of us act that way

I believe personally that Narcissm is developing field and so much is focused on the victims and their healing. I believe more research is needed on those with borderline Narcissm or covert symptoms to identify and know behavioural patterns in themselves both acquired and undesirably projected. I resonate with this post from a little of being on both sides.

Living a meaningless, empty life, in fear of further unkindness, ridicule, ghosting, gaslighting by individuals wearing masks, enjoying scaring me, knowing that I do not have credibility as an old woman, with little self worth left. Isolation is a coping mechanism. Yes, I have been living in social isolation and fear for decades.

Have been discredited as an old woman, which in teases the need to go into isolation.

Isolation is painful, but getting further neglect, ridicule ighosting., gaslighting, etc., is still preferred . Little strength left from having been ghosted, ridiculed, humiliated, shamed and much more. Isolation is a protection.

Ok. This is VERY off topic, but that girl at 0:41... SUUPER CUTE!! 😍😍

My mother passed away very recently and I feel nothing but relief. Since I was 12, when my dad left her, she verbally and mentally abused me for the rest of her life. I tried to be her friend for so long, wanting, needing her love but she never gave it. Just because I look exactly like my dad. I grew up with a hateful mother and an absent father. I've been dealing with mental health issues for my whole life, and getting nowhere.

All we have to do is stay strong. We were strong before them and will be strong after them peace beyond to you.

This video presents the absolute core of the scapegoat deficit. All of it's aspects ruled my life. Because of educational videos like this that is now as gone and dead as yesterday. It took a couple months but the monster of self blame is dead.

2nd continued: hair loss, throat, cold and flu. He is Narcissistic playing with women victims. One night I had imagined that his Victims are pregnant babies next to me. I lost 1 baby in 2020 ❤❤😊

I was Narcissistic Abused avoid 2 years. I alway problems those physical health Headache, stomach ache, itch skin, acne. Eye blurred, change foods, Period heavy - eat health foods vegs, fruits. Continued....

I been isolated for 35 yrs and still trying to stay away from my family that traumatized and neglected and abused me and the verbal abuse and judgement I had to endure from them alone I had to rebuild my self from scratch with gods help it wasn't easy and still I trust no one sadly they did alot of harm to me I didn't forget or forgave them for the horrible pain I had to suffer from cause of the ones who hurt me 😢

My abusive ex always hurt me at home but never in public. I had to be hospitalized for non-stop bleeding and was confirmed it was a miscarriage. He was so caring and kind but only when we were there in front of doctors and nurses. Soon as we got home, he screamed and yelled at me. I was already crying but him saying "if you had taken care of yourself, you wouldn't have lost it!" Yea I knew 1000% then he never loved me.

I am one such... I find it so so difficult to trust anyone anymore 😢

Growing with a narcissist family was constantly waking on eggs shells in a home with zero safety

well.....hm. I. uh. didn't... know

I can relate to some of this sadly.😢

Withdrawing resonates with me heavily and hypervigilance,emotional numbness. I can definitely say this has been my whole life experience.

sitting around in my own mess, the worst its ever been. I'm trying, everyday, I can get back up. how do u get out of freeze mode? sick of this all never been this bad. idk how to feel bettte r but I gha keep trying. hus wanna not have to fight to survive anymore

I feel like this everyday im 35 and I cant break free of narcissistic people it's like they're every where I cant live like this anymore I wanna give up I have no one who gives a damn and no one who will help me I feel like it's never Goin to stop I just want it to stop

what happens if a narcissistic watch this video..are they going to realize they are one?

It's not only for narcissistic survivors. Those symptoms and side effects fall into many categories for all survivors of abuse. Childhood abuse, childhood sexual abuse, neglect survivors, and the list goes on. So stop pretending that you know what you're talking about!

my life since I could really remember WOW I did drugs and all the rehabs had therapy for people that were phycally abused and not mentally like me 1990's were rough

😌💜

There is never, “They may feel like”, what they feel is fact.

😢

I identified with all of these

My father was a narcissist. I married a narcissist. I have known no men but they were all narcissists. This video is all about me. I have all of them.

OMG I can relate to all of these!! I am struggling with getting my home organized right now. I have been out of the relationship for two years but I get overwhelmed with trying to get things organized. I remember also staying in the bathroom just sitting trying to gather my thoughts. My ex would open the door staring at me. He used to disrupt my sleep too. I'm happy to be out of that Toxic Mess. But I have to get myself back on track in my home to bring order.

Always feel like I'm on edge or walking on eggshells 😢especially since I get walked allover , gaslit , treated like a frickin doormat . Like damned if I do or damned if I don't !Plus I am in constant isolation , feel exhausted ,lonely , sad , angry , tired of people playing mind games or taking advantage of me .

Has narcissistic abuse affected the atmosphere of your home? Share your experience in the comments below!

Having mess around was an early warning system. The abuse would still occur, but the element of surprise was gone when stuff was knocked over. If I had had Legos, I would have left them wherever, so I had to do it with shoes, books, etc.

My narcissist killed herself the day after the first time anyone stood up to her abuse. 15 months ago. My mother. You nailed me

This video will change my life, and has already by asking help ❤ thank you.

The 1980s was rough. I hate government high school.

My father is very greedy , cruel , loves hitler , being a deadbeat , two faced , malicious ,cruel , hates if I question his narrative , loves bullying + making me feel less than or not good enough , he loves playing mind games , gaslighting ,he fakes empathy , he says one thing and mean another , he's holier than thou .

Thanks for the in depth explanation of this isolating condition. I have been isolating myself continually for a while now. I just feel more comfortable with myself. Everyone puts my narcissistic husband on a pedestal and for that reason I prefer to be alone. They do not see him for the brash, insincere, narcissistic sod that he truly is. My being alone equals self preservation

I did 10 years in isolation, I'm on a healing journey now, and loving life, even though I still have doubt and fear sometimes, I'm never going back to the terror I lived in 😊

The most people bored me, that's why I stay in and can't talk to so many others then I feel lonely

Remembering over apologising but now ex partner used to take the mock me for this 7 months free from him still feel the emotional truma

This is way generalize. Not all true

I have gone through multiple of such relations, but there are two that were really neglectful. One was my gf and she manipulated me beyond belief. I was left shattered, homeless, without finances, with superinsomnia, she blackmailed me, provoked, very toxic. She is also a stalker. It was in 2019. I am still recovering from this and it looks like my mind cannot be persuauded to accept this. Even to this day I have a feeling she stalks me on social media (I have a channel on YT). I think after a video I posted about her (not including names), a lot of people, when they heard my side of this story, left her. Maybe it was revenge, but she seriously deserves to be alone forever, not a single partner. The second one was with a much older woman. She didn't understand that I don't want her and she started to destroy me. And now I am recovering from this relation too. And also my mother... She is a psychopath, like three of my siblings... Dammit... Even in further family there's a lot of narcs and psychoes...

Screw you, Mom.

Each point hit the nail on the head. You sure did clarify things for me. I have experienced each of the ten from the same person. Now I get it. Thank you.

no healthy people so best to isolate

I didn't know why I started so much isolation. Then I watched some of the videos about this and felt like a mountain was raised off my shoulders. I had gotten so sick that I couldn't walk right anymore. I tripped over my own feet, broke my shoulder in three places, fractured my hip and was in really bad shape. My nerves got so bad that my vision was all messed up. I started staying in my house all the time with my puppy. Everything came to the surface. I started remembering things he done to me, things he said to me and all of the abuse. I have lost everyone because of his crazy making and he would case me to have "reactive abuse" where a victim starts to be abusive towards that abuser. I would yell back, curse back and be ugly. He told those people "I told y'all she is crazy..." and they believe him because he purposely set me off. I have been a total recluse since mid January. Something strange happened in that isolation. I was able to somehow see through a bit of his narcissist fog and I started working on myself. I am teaching myself to walk again but never let him see me practicing because then he'll start in on me. I am slowly packing a few special things and want to get well and strong enough to leave.....forever. No, people won't believe me because he's a local bussiness man and would never do wrong. Now what....I guess I have to chip away at that mountain until it's a pile of sand. I can't work because of being disabled from my cancer and don't know how I will make it but I feel dead here and if I don't leave I know I will just get worse. I did tell my Doctor that I am making plans to disappear because he knows and is the only person that sees it. I'm scared...I know I am damaged but I have to run. I am leaving everything behind except some clothes and mementos of my deceased husband. It's the only thing I can do.

I have the opposite. I under clean. 2:21
