Yep, I'm still working with mine, and they are bullying me with my narc boss hand in hand. I'm in the middle of a huge fight having to spend all my free time writing emails after emails trying to prove my right, because they are the best at looking the best. And although they've got nothing on me, it's still very daunting having to explain myself for something I haven't done and all the bullying I've been putting up with in the past few years. I just want to do my job, and you just want to live your life! I guess we both learnt our lesson for life.

After surviving a 43-year relationship with a narcissist before, I finally Left, after two children, and a lifetime of pain and suffering, I really wish this was stuff that was taught in high school. I wish there were classes for young people, not just relying on friends, family, whatever. If there were relationship classes, it would help to alleviate so many miserable relationships. If my kids were younger and unmarried, I would shut them down and make them watch, read, learn about red flags for narcissism, trauma, bonding, all of the things to look out for so that they could be happy in their relationships.

Totally agree, there needs to be more awareness in schools and for parents to educate their children on these types of toxic people. Prevention is better than cure. Once I get my life back on track I’m going to somehow lobby for this for the UK.

[@klejjxd]

I am really glad and thankful that i'm only 25 and already out of my almost 8 years of on and off relationship with my narc ex and that i had the priviledge of going to therapy (because i am borderline but i also learned a lot about narcissism there) and that i have an aunt who is a psychologist that i can talk to about everything. For a long time i thought that if im honest and have good morals then everybody is kinda the same... Oh boy i was so wrong. Now i can also wish every victim of any abuse will finally be free and happy and spread my knowledge and experiences with my friends and other people on my way so that they can be more aware and wont waste any time more with predatory people with masks on their faces. I really wish you all the best, no matter how old are you, you deserve it!

[@klejjxd]

It is really sad we have to educate ourselves on the most important topic in our lives: emotions and relationships. It is awesome that we have internet nowadays, but still, most of the people dont even care to read anything that would definitely help and better their lives. Also, not everybody have access to these info. But we all know that schools dont teach us what is really important in life and its super sad

The fact that narcissists overly play being "nice, kind and helpful" is to bait you. They're awkwardly invasive wanting to know everything about you to use it against you later.

Regardless of all the personality traits and meta communication.. The greatest indicator that you have while communicating with a narcissist is your own body.. Trust it..

[@InvisibleWarrior279]

Yes. Something immediately feels off but you can’t quite put a finger on what it is. That is your intuition sensing danger. If you continue to spend time around this person well we all know the stages your body, mind and spirit go through. Your body absolutely senses danger. But you want to believe in love. Thus the battle for your soul begins ..

[@enikobenak5783]

[@cherylberk4593]

Danish, you have exactly described these narcs literally pushing their way into your home. I have learned the red flags from you, knowledge I never got from therapists or drs. It is both wonen and men who show up an hour early at your door when it was a planned meeting at a restaurant. It is walking through your house uninvited criticizing everything in sight. It is filling every space with junk, computers, boxes, sports equipment, etc.in your home. Because you have educated us I noticed the excessive compliments (love bombing), mirroring (they like everything you like, went to same school, same birthdate, no end to this trick) It is scary. I have also noticed that glazed stare. If you call them on it, they gaslight you and will deny actions/words spoken minutes earlier. They will also steal thingsfrom your home as simple as items in your bathroom like decorator paper towels,candles etc. Talk about crazy making! I have begun to think they are actually dangerous if left unchecked. I notice some exoerts have added sadism to the dark triad. Our only defense is knowledge, going no contact, dont open the door, and stick to your boundaries. These people are vampires. I would be interested in your opinion as to how, why this appears to be a fast growing phenomena of epic proportions. Thank you again.

Wow! This is so accurate. You can feel something is off at the beginning and that feeling gets stronger as time goes by.

I abruptly put a stop to her pushy attempts and kept solid boundaries. That was 2 years ago. Last week she tried to push a new product on me, and I said I’d look it up on the internet when I got home. It was another MLM 😮. Narcissistic people are very money 💰 hungry. Beware. Has this happened to you? And thank you Danish for educating us. MLM is multi level marketing. Pyramid scheme.

[@shellbell8062]

I had a granny-like lady come up to me at church and tell me how she was adopting children from Africa whose parents were millionaires but are now deceased. It was an incredibly long and complex story but after listening for hours it boiled down to her needing £300 for needing to release millions of these wealthy inheritors funds. Sound like a scam? All along while she was talking I was aware of this weird feeling in my body - like I was being coerced and couldn't possibly refuse. I remember that feeling from childhood. After that I sent an email to the leadership at church and informed them that she was trying to con money out of the congregation. Turned out she had scammed a few already - this cherub looking granny who smelled like marshmallows. They come in all shapes and sizes.

But when it came to ask him about something, my body refused, and I was getting really anxious. Because somewhere deep down, your body knows you're aiding a narc's ego with asking for something he knows and you don't!

Those are good initial warnings to look out for. In reality, the more dealings you have with them, the more you build up a picture that something isn't right. It's never too late to step back: remove yourself from the situation!

[@RhondaPorter-y1p]

I never knew any of this when I was married to one for 25 years. After I got away, close to the end of my 2nd narcissistic relationship, I began learning about it. It was such a relief to find out that I wasn’t crazy!!! They try to make you think that you are, and doubt yourself so badly. Now it’s been 10 years and I haven’t dated anyone. I don’t know if I could ever trust anyone enough to give them my heart, ever again. But I’m working on it as I heal.

[@cherylberk4593]

Never too late. We all feel this way bcs we dont think like they do.

[@Puglover4life1]

OMG yes. When you are in the presence of a narcissist, you will feel like they are trying to get a pulse or temperature check read on you to determine how they approach you. This is chilling to feel and it’s so creepy to know. I’ve called out my ex when I’ve felt him do that, he denied it of course, but got quiet sometimes too. But this does happen OMG ! Yes, my ex would tell me I’m crazy when I would bring up things, and it just added to the clouds in my head. So thankful I can see it now 😵‍💫

[@audrablue515]

I am so against ANYONE coming into my home that there is no way I would allow a narc to trick me into giving an invitation. My home is my sanctuary and that is one thing that is impossible to breach. There's only two people who are allowed in and one of them is 6 years old, so I'm pretty bullet proof when it comes to someone bamboozling me that way. After a decade of narc abuse from my ex, I know he would want to push his way into my life again but since going no contact earlier this year, I'm not expecting any trouble from him. I know that sometime in the future I'll be crossing paths with him again due to things out of my control, but as I've been working on recovering from the abuse and my exhaustion surrounding it, he doesn't stand a chance. He really ruined me from having any kind of relationships with anyone, apart from my work colleagues who are all decent people. I'm not sad about that because I cherish my alone time and my solitude and I realise that I don't need anyone apart from the handful of people I have now who love and care for me naturally.

[@Andearea]

Danish you are the BOMB. I love listening to you. I always learn something new to add to my “toolbox” when dealing with the narcissists in my life. I also love how you speak a lot about narcissistic family members. My mom and sister are both narcissists. It helps so much to learn more about the family dynamic of this. Thank you !!!

[@abhi2762]

How u handle 2 narcissts in a family, dont u feel worried abt ur future, pls reply as m facing similar thing

[@shellbell8062]

@@abhi2762 Walk away if you can. Family or not. If you can't, learn to be completely unemotional around them. Give them nothing to feed off. If they blow up on you just say in a calm tone "I'm sorry you feel that way". Remember, they feed off of your misery. Continue to learn, grow and up level. Don't tell them any of your plans and be intentional about forming strong relationships outside of your family. Never give them the benefit of the doubt no matter how much it seems that they might be "turning over a new leaf". They are not.

[@tammybandy5000]

I always thought the narcissist stared at me because of my disability. Now I know he was staring at me because he looked at me as prey. How sick?

The silent pressure pervading the butterfly feeling is so true. One is not relaxed and there is a feeling of confusion all the time.

[@Deam7666]

My father, by ‘best’ friend all through HS, and now I’m married to one, and after almost 24 yrs with my husband-only with the help of watching your videos-now I give what I get. I speak in the same tone as he does with me-he doesn’t like that. Too bad, neither do I. And if he gives me a stare, I stare back and he always breaks the gaze first. I thank you for your knowledge and hoping things will eventually get better now that I’m learning from you and I truly can’t thank you enough ☺️

[@MagnysAa]

Yes, the eyecontact ! The different ways, you mentioned it. My mother never looks people or me in the eyes. And rolling her eyes constantly while talking about herself, and laying her hand on her chest. My sons father and my mother have the same face expression when they are screaming with the purpose of correcting or controlling me, they squeeze their eyebrows together, tightened their mouth like a chikens bud.., and there is lightning in their eyes, body tence, because they are ready to take it to the next level violence so i understand and comply to their rules. You are so god at this, so many details.

[@c.sexton4819]

Extremely good advice. Thank you.

[@shellOceans3083]

Cool, "narcometer." Great new word! All so so so true! I'm finally figuring it all out. You are giving the most important gift of knowledge and how to recognize the preditor as my body sends clear messages before I can intellectually figure it out. Finally, at 60 years old, I'm discovering how to stay truly free and safe from being a narco-victim again.... and again.... and..... NO MORE!!!

[@avajavanyc]

This is amazing, I have felt that obligation from people who later used me! What a short cut!

[@PaintingandExercise]

I have learned that when I am away from the narcissist for a month or two that my self esteem skyrockets. I feel good about myself. I wake up happy and energetic, ready to take on the world with enthusiasm. If I let the narcissist back into my life then my self esteem deteriorates even if they do not do anything outwardly wrong. They could be pretending to be interested, nice, and friendly but incrementally I am dying inside. It is like my soul is aware of their disdain and contempt of me without me actually noticing. But I do notice that I become tearful, sad, lethargic, and unloved. It is like my life becomes poisoned.

[@ghostsheet777]

Why is that 😮

[@maryb6529]

YES! I was back and forth about someone displaying narc behavior- and that pit in my stomach was telling me all along what was going on. Thank you for that support!

Bell ringing is disturbing... video is eye opener.thank you Danish..

[@lisaduffy4958]

Thank you Danish! You're a wealth of knowledge, I'm recovering from a narcissistic marriage which was also physically, emotionally, and verbally abusive. It was a trauma bond and I felt so attached like if I left I wouldn't be good enough for anyone else and so I should be happy with what I have with him. I've been free now for almost 4 years and left because I got pregnant and didn't want my son to feel like he was nothing like I had felt for years. Thinking about his future being better than my life was at the time gave me the strength to leave. But it's been a hard read healing from the PTSD from it all. And I'm starting to try to date again but I just keep thinking that everyone is a narcissist and I wonder what they're angle is and what they really want. But these men are probably very nice in reality. It's just hard to believe someone would actually be good to someone like me. But these kind of You Tube channels actually help a lot and I know I'm not alone.

[@alectrona1613]

A big thank you Danish for this succinct run-down of the early feelings of pressure that come with the narc - the intensity and repetition of what they want, then followed by visits bringing things to reciprocate. I just want to push back. A red flag to watch out for!

This is so true! Danish you are amazing. I kept going because I couldn't understand why I had this feeling because he was super polite, respectful, etc.. But much later when I found myself literally in hell I understood what that was.

[@coopersmom8339]

Spot on Danish! Everything what you said exactly what narcs are all about. Thank you.

[@mallariculp3551]

That look is unmistakeable. They don’t blink. They don’t have a smile or scowl. They just stare intently, like a tiger that thinks he’s spotted movement, but isn’t yet hunting. They are studying you to look for a weakness. Normal people give them a pass, and when your eyes meet, might give them a smile to relieve that mild discomfort. You’ve caught them, and their smile return is a second or two too slow. Just run.

[@thrasher2753]

Yup. The night my female narc used sex as a weapon, she gave me this odd "come hither" stare. It was as if she was peering into my soul and knew she could provide what i wanted. Sure enough. The devaluation stage happened a few days after we had sex.

[@halliemosteller8678]

Oh my gosh I totally get the staring thing!! My dad is a full blown narcissist and one day my mom and I were just sitting together at the kitchen table watching something on her iPad and literally he gets up and walks into the other room, stands by the doorway, and just starts staring at us… for no reason. It was the creepiest thing I’d ever seen. My mom and I were super uncomfortable lol

Yes, Danish, thank you! I've felt that pressure, I always got taken in, dominated, abused more and more as the relationship goes on. I've been able to get rid of them all, acrimoniously, because by then, I'm mad. I wish I could just listen to my gut from t h e first five minutes and not let it go on BEFORE I get used and abused!!

[@BeardedGuy_Tawhid]

I don’t want to go into details but I can relate to how hard dealing with narcissists and selfish or crazy people can be. Let’s just say my family are.. very difficult and hard to bear except for a few.. but most of the good ones are all passed away now. I have God and He is sufficient for me, I give Him all my complaints and ask Him to guide and save the errant I know. We are only here to be tested and to worship Him alone without partners.. anything we have or have achieved is only by His mercy and provision.

Clearest example of this pressure with my mother, was when I would try to leave after visiting her, with my family, she would follow us out, killing us with her kindness. And it would not stop. Trying to be polite, we couldn’t leave. She would just keep asking my kids questions and making kind statements, however she would notstop, and being socially acceptable/polite, we couldn’t leave. It would go on over half an hour sometimes. And I would have to be somewhat rude in order to drive off. Basically shutting the car door on her while she was still talking. Then my kids wouldn’t see that I wasn’t rude, but she was.
