12 Strange Things Narcissists Do

Strange Things Narcissists Do
Narcissists can do some bizarre things that can from baffle you, to make you cry out in frustration. Although doing the following behaviors does not automatically make a person a narcissist, these behaviors are pretty common amongst narcissists. So buckle up, because things are going to get weird.

Note this video is not about OCD
According to the new DSM guidelines, DSM-5, hoarding will be listed as a distinct disorder rather than under the umbrella of obsessive-compulsive disorder because many severe cases of hoarding are not accompanied by any other obsessive or compulsive behaviors.
There are also many parallels between pathological narcissism and hoarding behavior.
Lack of empathy. Hoarders are unable to recognize or understand the feelings of the other people in their family.
Control is key with both hoarding and narcissism. Both attempt to exercise control over their environment and the people in it.
Toxic attachment to objects. Both see the objects as extensions of themselves and react similar when you threaten their objects.
Entitlement. The sense of entitlement that hoarders always display is classic narcissism, and so is playing the role of the victim
Poor impulse control, poor decision-making skills, and emotional dysregulation. Everything is geared toward to making themselves feel better, regardless of how it makes others feel.
People who hoard animals are a very good example of the narcissistic aspects of compulsive hoarding. Animals are the perfect companions for narcissistic hoarders because animals make no emotional demands.
There are many similarities and overlapping qualities between hoarding and pathological narcissism.
If you hoard, it does not mean you are a narcissist. If you are a narcissist it does not mean work will hoard. But many narcissists do hoard.

Has the narcissistic person in your life done any of these? What other strange or weird things did they do?

[@joanbaczek2575]

Refuses to wash his hands after going to the bathroom. Refuses to smoke his pot outside yet tells me how inconsiderate I am if I put vix on my feet. Destroying his stuff instead of giving it to someone who wanted it. Could never keep the time line straight so he could blame someone else’s reaction and the cause of the problem. Search my belongings while I’m at work. His idea of cleaning is to just transfer my objects from room to room and it looks no nicer than where I had it. Everything he does is half ass on purpose and when called out it’s a guilt trip about how I’m never happy. The few times he swept the floor he made 5 piles about the house then left them there til I got home from work I was expected to make a big deal at all the beautiful piles he made. Called paying his share or cleaning his dishes as helping me. Treats me like a teen treats his mother then accuses me of being abusive cuz I don’t want to sleep with him anymore. And the bed kink is over the top and gross. When he did a project he’d make it look worse like pulling down wall paper through out the whole house leave it rough and unpaintable and his job is done then when you complain you told you used him for labor . Original idea was to remove wallpaper smooth and paint one room at a time slowly so the whole house not trashed. They move in with a housing emergency claim they gonna split bills then don’t give a penny and continue to burn through all resources you have. Just finding a clean cloth intended for oil checks is proof I’m screwing men in the back of the truck and “wiping yourself with that rag” I got silent treatment and locked out of my bedroom for 2 weeks.confuses woman’s natural secretions in the underwear as sexual trist evidence. Saving bottles of his urine to splash all over my clothing in my closet . Having my metal mixing bowl with burned paper and a rotten carrot hidden in a room and when I find it and question him he accuses me of being nosey he ruined my mixing bowl burning paper in it. I can’t keep a journal he finds it then misunderstands everything I wrote in it and punishes me for it. Have to stare at full cabinets open and shut everyone then act like they hungry but nothing to eat and huff and puff. Never buys food and acts like the food you buy isn’t good. Blames me for not spending time with him, his idea of spending time is me sitting there watching him play games watch videos that only intrest him, I spent 3 years at work or at home in a chair in the bedroom like his automaton even leaving the room to do chores was a Nono cuz by his standards I take to long, heaven forbid I took a break from cleaning as he came out the room I’d then get accused I was lying about doing chores to play on my phone or cheat on him on Facebook!

[@joanbaczek2575]

Iv had fake conversations with myself before either to help me process to stop ruminating or to pretend I’m telling off my boss because I didn’t in real life 😂 I have a very hard time completing projects usually I run into a problem and takes me along time to figure out my error

@@joanbaczek2575 Talking out loud help me focus on a thought when there is too much going on in the head. None of the conversations was to praise or create another reality. Its more to better understand something going over facts then trying out to figure what others meant. or were to fix a problem

[@charityhouze647]

I worked with severe abused people and they often get stuck on a song or sing to themselves and have full conversations with themselves going over a particular incident and often filling it in with what they wished that had said to the abuser. These same people have a need to hide their valuable things because their abusers might break it or use it to hurt them. Abused people are known to have memory issues. Or lie out of fear of more abuse from the narcissist. People in the medical field see this as symptoms of abuse. Be careful what you think of others without knowing the truth. Some of this is narcissist behavior but a lot of this is also victims ways of dealing with narcissist abuse

[@sarahcook908]

I had to hide my stuff from my husband. :(

[@bunnyboo6295]

Wow those were the things I relate to in the vid the talking in a loop over traumatic experience. The person that seems to lead to these was a hoarder and most all the other treats he has a few cars that he claims he going to work on, and it seems he put a ton of money into only for them to have sat or years rusted out.

[@NarcissisticAbuseHealing]

Yes, but you are taking it out of context. Yes we go over events in our heads and talk to ourselves and say how we wish things would have gone. But the part you left out was that normal people don’t then go out and claim things actually happened how they told themselves it did. We don’t rewrite history and events and then claim that’s how it actually happened. And we don’t talk to ourselves and imagine a conversation with a person and then claim they actually had the conversation with us as we imagined in our heads And narcissist hide their things because they expect you to break it because they would have broken your stuff. You hide it because you know they break it. Not because you think the narcissist is like you and you go around breaking other people’s things out of hate. Context and intention is key. Same with giving up as I replied on another comment. It is not the act of giving up. It is the reason they give up. The delusions of grandeur and detachment of reality they had in the beginning. And then giving up to punish people for not falling in with their grand vision as if the world will be sorry if the narcissist does not open their business.

[@elove2.038]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️Thank you!

[@charityhouze647]

Also depression and ADD or Ptsd people often start things and not finished not lazy, but have been stripped of their self worth and confidence after abuse

[@NarcissisticAbuseHealing]

Hi. Yes. But they do not have the delusions of grandeur that the narcissist has. Narcissists are removed from reality. Such as expecting they will make millions from selling scarfs they knit at home, while they cannot even finish one in a year. Or expecting to make a business selling cupcakes and paying their bills after they resigned while they have never baked a thing in their life and thinking they will make millions in a month so go out and blow all their cash. It’s not the act of giving up. It’s the delusions of grand success they had in the beginning and the detachment from reality. And often they give up to punish people for not wanting to buy from them. As if people are going to be sorry if the narcissist does not sell their perfect product and will then come rushing to the narcissist and begging the narcissist to reopen their business.

[@cindihunter9119]

It's interesting... I've known many people who have had trauma of somkind, yet they were not a narrissist. I do recognize many of the similar characters of people with these traits.

[@NarcissisticAbuseHealing]

@@RolandPihlakas hi. The title says strange things narcissists do. And in the beginning I state that not all do it. These are not defining traits of narcissism and the video never states that if someone does any of these they are a narcissist.

[@Kennedy4OurCountry]

Omg TY for that...im 60...im just so done with constantly being dragged by narcs...it MUST be me...im sitting here today I can't get anything done but feed my cats & give em clean water & do boxes & once again they save my life just bc I can't betray them like that. I have no one I feel like it must be me I can't find a therapist up here tho. Sometimes I get what I've heard called 'adhd paralysis' and I just can't function. But im not gross or anything...just hurt and sooooo confused. It's like I have to start all over again every time. God help me.

[@katecollins617]

The title should include that children who were raised by narcissists do this too. If you see this video, and you’ve been a victim of narcissistic abuse, please don’t doubt yourself and think that you are the narcissist. Especially if you deal with complex PTSD and grief which can mimic the signs of BPD in the unhealed stages of grief and trauma. Also, adrenal fatigue can mimic ADHD when healing from trauma. Give yourself time to heal before getting a label put on you. A lot of behaviors you were around on the daily with a narcissist, can seep into your life when you’re mind is still working on healing and recovering from the abuse and gas lighting. I’m sure this video intends to mean well, but it is lacking critical thinking. If you watch this video and question if you are a narcissist?, chances are you are not. They would never question themselves for introspection.

[@sum1has2]

ABSOLUTELY! I just responded to someone’s comment on this. Some things on this list can be coping mechanisms when you’re dealing with narc abuse. Took me 40+ years of marriage and years of therapy to realize I wasn’t the crazy one. I at least had 20 years of normalcy to refer back to before I married my narc. I fear for my kids because it’s all they’ve ever known.😔

[@tinabeam7665]

What you commented is exactly what I thought before half through this video. I also wondered if the author was a c-narc because thats their pattern, just wondering outloud here.

[@ASadPigeon]

As sad as it is, if you had narcissistic parents, you most likely ARE narcissistic or have narcissistic patterns. Doubting yourself and recognising that your patterns are toxic is how you change your behaviour to avoid hurting others. Blocking the similarities out however, and trying to convince yourself that you're not narcissistic when you do indeed have toxic patterns, is what a narcissist does to avoid responsibility and shame. So yes, doubt and question yourself if you want to be a truly self aware and healthy individual.

[@kaze_cat]

Thank you for adding your message. I started listening and thought, wait a minute. We always think that maybe we "are" the narcissist, even though we didn't engage in the craziness throughout our lives and nothing we could possibly do could have changed our narc family members. Your comment is pertinent and valid. I was the scapegoat in a double narcissistic family (father then sister took over after parents divorce. Sister was hellbent on destroying me. She was one year older. Both of us are female now in our 60's, and she is still at it, and during covid has unfortunately pulled my daughter in. They are so very crafty/devious/malicious/evil for those that don't understand or see or understand it.. I am a Cancer and highly creative (sew and metalsmith--jewelry). I love handmade things and decorate for visual harmony and ascetics, but can go overboard with that. I also love shoes and cloths so I'm packed in. I now am in the process of thinning out my excess clothing...it's a process though. I otherwise have a lot of stuff and am also getting rid of excess there as well. So I can identify with having too much stuff for sure. Not the food or fridge thing though...I cook and am anal about a clean kitchen and cleanup. Since both narcs are extreme liars, I loath liars, and do not appear to have the other traits. I have struggled with "trauma bonds," and know that I've experienced negative traits due to that. Will be looking into specific psychotherapy for those raised in narc families as I need to live my life fully on my terms. I have walked away from my sister (did that in my teens, but was back and forth since she kept pulling me back in, and I the dutiful sister who felt bad that we weren't close, would mend with her until she would hit me over the head again), brother (who she sucked in and who does not have a backbone to stand up to her or our father, and who "happily and dutifully" does bidding for both without independently thinking and responding to them accordingly), and also my father as well, who is in his 80's. He was helpful to me for many years, but found out later that he was undermining and maligning (and triangulating with my family members about me) me behind my back (as well as to my face!). Sorry, this is long! I know many of us have a "story to tell." Thank you again for acknowledging that scapegoats can also share similar narc traits. God bless you and everyone else that is or has been affected by a narc.

[@sadieschwab7699]

Thank you for pointing that out I have ... Well I found this out under hypnosis that my anxiety disorders that were so severe I need to be medicated when I was 7 started out when I was like 4 from something I regarded as abandonment... And then my mom pretty much would just abandon me I me I remember having her make up et cetera so... Between that and my 88th G that's killer occurring and they honestly just agitate each other. There are when you read them off the list some things from BBD that is EPD that sounds like they would apply to me but when they are explaining further they don't.. When I was 13 14 15 my mom would always go to the psychiatrist with psychiatrist with me and I must have tried like 6 or 8 different meds for that and they would just make me feel like I wanted to die and I was stuck in my skin it was the worst feeling in the world... Didn't understand now clearly now I can understand that well well with anxiety I have LOW gaBA a activity/ low Serotonin & w Adhd low Norophrenine & dopamine... So many of these were also used for very serious things like schizophrenia as he has a running expression brain is overflowing and all of these so it won't make all of those lower. That explains it but it's like wtf whyn per nephron and dopamine

Wow, so many more She is just crazy and I’m finally wrapping my head around all the abuse she put me through at 40

[@cadebell1751]

Be careful listening to this list, reality manny of these issues are a result of narcissistic abuse , an individual will need to sort this out within. recovery is understanding multiple aspects of who you are as a person, what happened in your life. Accountability for what is yours in the end. Along with understanding what happened , there is physical, chemical healing in the mind, thought change, personal spiritual healing, understanding of human nature along with the recovery. Society in its self is highly narcissistic. Each person will have their journey of recovery. You have value , self respect and worth.

[@sum1has2]

Thanks for saying this. I found myself doing a few of the things on this list just TRYING to appease the narc I was married to for decades. You try to anticipate the hell that’ll be rained down on you if you “fail” them. (Checking the bank balance for fear of a 1 cent mistake, buying 5 ketchup so it’s never out again, asking if they loved me because it was never again said or shown literally the day after the wedding, singing random song lyrics that bolstered my sagging esteem) It took 40 years and secretly going to counseling to finally say THEY were the one with the problem. Someone early on in narc abuse may see this list as validation of the narc’s gaslighting. The fact the term narcissist is being thrown out everywhere these days attests to the double edged sword these videos can be.

My husband is now in a nursing home; however I'm now in charge of cleaning up his hoarding mess in the garage (to the ceiling and plastered against the walls) The number of duplicate products, unfinished projects, unopened tools and hidden things he has lost for years confirms his level of insanity. I've had a few months to myself and I feel re-born as I shed the overbearing responsibility of his caretaking. People who never lived with him, do not understand, yet nobody seems to be reaching out to help. Imagine that. He was ready to sell the house and give me my share unless I could keep him here. So very selfish and unrealistic.. I'm stuck because yes, he is dying, but it's what it is supposed to be- for now. .

This is a tough video to get thru, there is a point where what was narcissism just turns into crazy. My mother was like this, to a degree she was like this all her life, but about 40 and older she just started sliding down this hill and never slowed down. Not living in the truth does this to you.

[@juneelle370]

Yes… without connection to truth (which requires facts and also inner truth introspection) the moral compass is totally broken. It’s the reaction of a little child who lies… I’ve even explained it to my mom but she just doesn’t get it… they love control… IMO it’s complete attested development bc of abuse. They cause so much pain though and the great mystery is how some people don’t have this reaction… I myself was raised in great abuse and I went the other way… my sister has no correlation to truth either… for me it’s the most important thing ever… truth and love. The best I can think is that as a child, I thought I want to always BE good (which means through introspection and learning I can and have evolved) whereas people w big disorders like this, they think I AM good… they are “perfect” and anything less they can’t entertain… so they pop up a false reality that correlates with that. After all, if they are good, then everything they do and think and say and believe must automatically be good… any challenge to that threatens their very sense of self… and in this paradigm they have the choices only of total denial of reality and reframing and projection or self-Destruction if they were to admit any error. Sometimes I think it’s literally this tiny distinction in perspective that sets a life long path of a false reality/broken moral compass. So glad I had that thought as a kid. I wanted to BE good versus thought I AM good. 💜 it’s painful my Mom is older and it’s only getting worse too

I find it maddening they think they can act in these manners and get away with it. The ego is running them and they don't care who they hurt or how. God bless.

[@rapunzelmane9592]

This is absolutely spot on. My narcissist mother was: A hoarder: her flat was packed. She insisted that she was just "very sentimental" about everything (including bus tickets, yoghurt pots, catalogues, and broken appliances). Talked to herself constantly: including winding herself up before an argument (ranting) so that by the time she had confronted me with the accusation, she had already 'won' the argument. Rewrote history: she once poked me in the face during an argument and when I immediately asked her why she'd done that, she accused me of being the one who had hit her (I hadn't even got out of my seat). Assume that I knew people I'd never met (forgetting I'm a separate person). Didn't complete projects: bought lots of cloth to make things but never got started, collected recipe cards but never cooked anything at all in her life Unexpected clinginess: not interested in me when I was there, but when I went away on school holiday, she 'phoned and wrote to me (maybe she was playing to the audience). Excellent video!

I was never allowed to clean his dresser off. I had to take pictures of his dresser so I could clean it, putting everything back where it belonged. I could tell when he lied, the corner of his mouth would turn up a little. I could never ask him to do anything. I was being demanding or bossy. He would never do anything if I asked. He wasn’t available when I needed him. After 37 years I had no boundaries, no self respect and no energy. He never finished a project, unless he talked his friends or brother into doing it for him.

[@1991windsor]

Mine was the opposite of a hoarder. He did a lot of the other items listed listed in this video, but he had one of the cleanest houses I have ever been in! Everything had its place and was organized and he hated cutter. Though we did not live together, the few times he did stay at my house he disrespected my things and was a slob, but never in his own home did he act that way. I would venture to say that a lot of narcissists have the opposite of hoarding as well, where they tend to have OCD tendencies about their possessions and the way their homes look.

[@MrClarissacain]

Id venture to say he wanted the praise for the tidy house. But i'd also suggest he may have had a storage unit, shed,or secret cache of "collections" because all the narcs ive been exposed to have that letting go of stuff problem.

[@1991windsor]

@@MrClarissacain He lived by himself and his shed and garage were kept meticulously in order as well. I think some narcissistic people have to be neat and tidy because the rest of their minds operate in chaos. It's just another form of control for them. I do believe even though they are personality disordered (and operate from the same rule book majority of the time when it comes to emotions) they still have their own personalities just like the rest of us in some regards. Though I will say he had quite the collection of fishing poles but they were all neatly displayed and when he was done with one of them he would list it on eBay or something. Even us "norms" tend to collect things or have collections.

It's funny that you say this bc my narc also excessively throws things away (including other peoples). Its like he values nothing

[@sum1has2]

Although there’s no such thing as a blessing in dealing with a narc, I’d preferred the fastidious one. The narc I was married to once went through the outside garbage bin and brought a totally broken coffee machine back into the house because “there may be some use for it someday.” I’d intentionally put it in a bag of used litter box waste and hid it under other bags! I was screamed at for being wasteful for months and it sat in our basement for 20 years before I was able to get rid of it. I must say though that my sister too was married to a clean freak narc that washed their dog’s paws off every time it came back in from the yard, cleaned the crumbs out of the toaster after EVERY use and scrubbed the toilet after defecating. (He’d wait at the door and ASKED!) She was afraid to touch anything, eat or poop in her own home! I once joked she could bring him to my house so he’d have a heart attack 💀

My husband says things, like he’ll tell me something then 5 minutes later he’ll say I told him whatever it was and he’ll actually go back and forth with me claiming I promised him something. Another super weird thing. I have a story I’ve told for years about a situation where I almost got struck by lightening. Ever since I get really anxious when it storms. So one day it was storming and I mentioned how I was uncomfortable because of what happened when I was younger and my husband suddenly chimed in that yes he almost got stuck by lightening when he was a kid too. He then began to tell the exact story I’ve told for years about myself saying it happened to him, with all the same details as my story. I said “huh??? That’s the exact same thing I’ve always said happened to me”. He stopped talking and didn’t finish the story after that…. Talk about confused and creepy. I mean I’ve told the story for years and suddenly the exact same thing “happened to you” and you’ve never mentioned it before 🤔🤔🤔

Hi. Yes they love taking your stories and what you do for work and making it part of their life to make themselves look and sound more interesting. But because they often don’t actually listen or care about you. They often cannot remember who told them the story and may repeat it to you. I have had on occasions I will tell a story at a party and a few minutes later a family members runs up to me and says I gotta tell you what happened to me. Then he proceeds to tell the exact thing I just told other guest minutes before with the narcissist listening to me and me knowing they were there. When you say, that’s my story I just told you it happened to me. They just look at you confused and then walk away 😂

Amazing! This video contains numerous nuanced descriptions of narcissistic behaviors, many of which ring true in my own experience as a target of such mistreatment. To name one, I've always found it odd that every drawer, closet, and cabinet in the house was completely stuffed with the narc's belongings, making it impossible to store any of my own. For the first time, I can see how this and many of the other bizarre behaviors discussed in this video are consistent with narcissistic abuse. What enlightening and empowering material!

[@NarcissisticAbuseHealing]

Hi. Glad you found the video helpful.

[@sum1has2]

This was a HUGE one for me. I was constantly screamed at for my stuff being in the way yet every single drawer, closet, table or counter top was stuffed with their belongings. If I managed to clear a spot to even prepare food and left the kitchen for a moment I’d come back to a dirty glass or plate. My clothes were folded in a pile on a chair because 2 bedrooms were full of clothes I’d never seen them wear.

[@jolly7728]

​@@sum1has2 It's bad enough that they're taking up all the space, but being screamed at makes staying there nearly impossible! You may be in physical peril! If possible, safely depart from this toxic-psychopathic individual. In my case, I am compelled to remain, albeit temporarily. As a result, I have gradually reclaimed areas by enforcing boundaries with difficult to defeat locks and locking systems, and sometimes by constantly removing their stuff and putting it where it belongs (I never explain/justify my actions to them). Do not attempt this in your case, as each narcissistic abuse relationship requires a unique approach tailored to the circumstances. My approach helps me, but they are constantly on the lookout for new ways to punish you. Ultimately, leaving is the only option, but take every precaution to ensure your safety.

Hi. That is perfectly normal. You know they will break it so you protect it. But you do not go around breaking other people’s stuff. Or I hope not. So it is not the act of hiding that is the problem. It is the reason why. The narcissist knows they will break your stuff and expect you are just as vindictive as them, so hide their stuff. And they are jealous so fear you will not be happy for them as they don’t like others to have things. Their reason for hiding stuff is because they think you are evil like them. Your reason is you know they are evil and protect your stuff.

[@trucid2]

Inflexible behavior. Very rigid system of right and wrong. Fixed action patterns. When you say a certain word or phrase, they will reply with a pun or a movie quote, even if it's inappropriate in the context or they have alreasy said it to you a dozen times.

Okay one more comment... This video is mind blowing! The very last part about checking if you changed underwear. This exact thing happened. My husband claims I left one day with one pair of underwear and came back with a different pair. I have absolutely NO CLUE what he’s talking about. It caused yet another huge argument in a string of blow ups between us over the last several months. He swore up and down I was doing a bunch of dirt talking to other men, etc. Meanwhile I was just trying to survive the pandemic, recover from COVID myself and raise my kids. I wasn’t even remotely thinking about doing any of the things he claimed I was doing. I decided then that I was DONE. Now I’m in the “hovering” phase with him where he’s claiming he’s the best husband ever and I’m going to want him back. Watching these videos makes me feel like God us talking to me and explaining it all so I don’t keep making the same mistakes trying to “fix” things with him.

I had no idea that was a narc trait and I'm not sure if it's something I've spoken with her about.There are some many times when my mom has talked with me and it seems like I've missed a big or important part of the conversation. She will talk like she expects me to know something that there is no way I could know about it. She will also tell other people things that she claims I said and then I have to correct her and say I never said that. When she tells other people that I said I would do something for them is the worst, because then I have to say I never said that and it makes me look like I'm lying or going back on my word.

I found this channel interesting and subscribed because my SO has narc tendencies but can't say he's a full blown narc but it's a constant battle if whether or not to stay in this relationship. I have to protect myself.

[@NarcissisticAbuseHealing]

Hi. Thank you for subscribing. Glad you like the channel. A toxic person does not need to be so narcissistic that they can be diagnosed with NPD before they are destructive to your life. Many narcissists do not have all the traits to qualify as having NPD, yet they still ruin people’s lives. If you are wondering if you should stay or go, then why are you still there? What benefit is there in staying that is greater than the harm staying is causing you?

[@lorenajules4651]

I experienced every single point of this with my ex narc bf. Especially I was actually hiding in his apartment to surprise him one day and he was actually having a real conversation with himself!!!!! He was so mad at me for being there he didn't talk to me for a whole week!!!! The over cluttered house was ridiculous also. The constant checking his account as well was noticable!!! Lol He was also very dirty in the kitchen....its true the rotting foodstuff and smelly garbage! Gosh

[@NarcissisticAbuseHealing]

Hi, thank you for sharing. Sorry you experienced this from your ex. Glad you are free now. I shared a house with someone who was this filthy and it made me paranoid about cleaning stuff, especially in the kitchen as even if they so called washed things you will have to wash it yourself afterward. You would try to dish up and bits of old food and fat was still on the plates or cutlery. The person would just wash it with cold water. And if they did scrub a bit they would just scrub the bottom of a frying pan and not the sides even though it was brown from burned fat. They claimed they don't cook there so do not need to wash there. :-)

[@ChristineSmith1213]

OMG. He sure did talk to himself and was and is a hoarder. Spot the fuc* on!!!!

[@FreeSpirit47]

My brother & foster father carried these behaviors to an extreme.

[@trinitymarieM]

I went through a period of time hoarding empty boxes, after being forced to move cross country and the abuse escalating, when the room was so filled with empty "moving" boxes it was hard to fit anything else, I said wtf I've never hoarded anything before. Trauma. When I worked through the panic dragging them to the curb, for trash day, I had a panic attack watching the worker load them up. I remember the conscious effort it took stopping myself from pulling them out of the garbage truck. Back to being a non hoarder and currently divorcing the abuser. It's a process.

[@NarcissisticAbuseHealing]

Hi. Thank you for sharing. Sorry you went through the abuse you did. Yes, victims of abuse often take on traits of the abuser or habits that are not natural for them, in order to cope. Glad you managed to let the habit go.

[@tuffguydoe7937]

The pain it took to convince my mother we could leave a broken recliner behind the Laundromat after doing her laundry. She kept saying "the sign says no dumping allowed and the cameras will catch us doing it." I could sense pain when driving away after I got the chair into the dumpster lol. However, she filled that empty corner of the house with a different useless broken chair she got from a neighbor/friend.

[@NarcissisticAbuseHealing]

Hi. Thank you for sharing. It can be hard dealing with a person who hoards or does not let go even if they are not a narcissist. If she does not have high narcissistic traits then therapy can help for the hoarding.

[@lisam1708]

This is EXACTLY my mother in law!!! EXACTLY

[@NarcissisticAbuseHealing]

Hi. Thank you for sharing. Sorry that you have a mother in law with these traits. A sibling of mine has a mother in law like this. And she constantly tries to break my sibling’s marriage up with lies. Something to guard against with a family member like this.

[@LiminalDrag]

The two way conversations and mindless talking is my mother, every day, non stop. I used to think it was funny when she talked to herself like that, until I started listening in. I then took a peek in her little notebooks she keeps all over the place and discovered her little black book of narratives and manipulation tactics. I learned also, that when I heard her talking to herself in the morning, someone was gonna get it that day, usually it was me. You are absolutely spot on. She needs to write this stuff down to keep track of her nonsense and lies.

[@PaperKitty99]

Oh my goodness! My husband says to me in a joking way “ the thing is gonna get good today”! He kind of sings it like a chime! It’s so creepy because after 25 years I know that when he does this , that day will be horrible for me. He will certainly be abusive in some way through disrespect, creating fights or manipulation. It’s like he’s warning me and then he does it. I’ve started noticing this just a few years ago. It’s so distressing. It’s terrifying when he does this. I think he is now aware that I know and how distressing it is to me and so it’s now the beginning of the abuse for that day.

[@LiminalDrag]

@@PaperKitty99 I'm so sorry, you don't deserve that 😡

[@kaze_cat]

The "little black book of narratives and manipulation tactics," is wild! My narc sister is a pathological liar. I know she could not keep track of her lies as they became webs, where she would lie on top of lie, etc., until the lie grew into something else. But also, she deflected in an instant where you would say that she had just said something and were responding to what she had just said when she would respond that she didn't say it, that I did! Just batshit crazy!

[@timmistarr9800]

I thought this was ADHD..my narc ex was diagnosed with ADHD in his childhood. I got tired of picking up dirty towels, dirty laundry, his hoarding of furniture, leaving waste/trash all over the apartament, him accusing me of cheating on him with my supervisor. Then he would ask to borrow money and never finished his projects then blame me for not helping him enough. His narcissistic rage and cycle devaluing/discarding made me feel his shame of ADHD has blown into full blown NPD. I think his shame of ADHD and his father moving turned him into a narcissistic individual overtime. He's 30 years old and now with a daughter He's even worse.

[@Angelica-ps4cs]

A lot of these are ADHD symptoms

[@milaniaxaira6395]

Lol ok i had to see this do some of em jump in the Laundry?

[@NarcissisticAbuseHealing]

😂 well yes if your favorite t-shirt is still in there.

[@Robertoni7]

This starts to make me think that many people are mislabeling people as narcissists who are not. Most people who hoard are victims of narc abuse or have suffered some other trauma. A true narc gets rid of something at the drop of a dime especially if the price is right. Also, most true narcs are overly concerned about their appearance and the appearance of their homes. They see it as competition. This doesn’t align with hoarders, where the opposite is true. It’s not fair to label abused people as narcissists because you can’t control their behavior. Makes me wonder who is who.

[@goodluck-sx8zf]

I'm a Gemini. I have twins talking in my head all day. See me quiet an looking round. Ask. it'll be random as hell to you but my mind was stuck on it. In a wheelchair, not hoarding useless sh*t. Clothes, guns, ammo, truck. Can throw it all in the truck if I need

[@etaokha4164]

He had a dirty habit and he took baths like he was fighting with water leaving soap on the walls and hair everywhere whenever he visited. He always talked to himself in the bathroom too and I could hear him. Last time he spoke to the bar soap in the bathroom 😂😂. Gosh this people are sick upstairs. He walked like a horse and was never quiet but always noisy. Thank Goodness he's gone. Never again dating better being alone

[@NarcissisticAbuseHealing]

Hi. Thank you for sharing. Your description of his behaviors made me laugh, as I know a family member who does exactly the same. Although it would not be funny in the moment I have to admit. Glad you are free now. Wishing you a wonderful future.

[@mikesmith6594]

Experienced plenty of these things you're describing on this video in the past with narcissistic family members who have lied too me my whole life. For some reason my past comments on these videos keep disappearing someone is keeping tabs on my comments on their toxic behavior again frickin narcissistic spies watching my shit.

My narcissist ex is elderly and does most things on the list. His giant hoard gets more energy and love than his children. He goes white and shakes if anything gets cracked or lost and accuses people of stealing his things and threatens them with prison. He mumbles constantly with imaginary conversations, usually ranting about how he’s right. He fantasizes about ways to get rich quick, like joining scams and sending in applications for Publishers Clearing House. Another weird thing he does is berate telemarketers and demand to speak to their managers, then threaten them with prison sentences.

[@NarcissisticAbuseHealing]

Hi. It was compiled from a poll that was done with thousands of victims of narcissistic abuse where they reported the strange things the narcissist in their lives did. The behaviors that came up the most formed the basis for the video.

[@sarahslater3534]

@@NarcissisticAbuseHealing THANK YOU - your reply is very appreciated. I am new to your channel I am a subscriber. And I survive two separate incidents in five years from age 52 to 57 from 2017 to 2021 .. having the unfortunate encounter with two male narcissist. In 2017 this person I we’ll go by Narc 1 - details are complicated but textbook of a triad or at least a borderline psychopath. In which an incident was about grabbing me out of my sleep by my ankles and after that breaking my back - Then cat and mouse torture for about 4 1/2 hours I survived- I was found 30 seconds before desk by the police I also did not know that this person was severely drinking alcohol. And secret. The thing that the whole thing I was obviously not a provoker. I was asleep. That shows you how unpredictable this can be. Now I’ve lived through the aftermath of violent crime I’ve been through 47 broken down the broken neck C3 transposing reversed. My ribs are forever crushed thought they thought , I might not be able to walk which is always on my mind. Rebuilding was an arduous and long journey and it still is. the second Narc , Narc 2 After some revelations of this darker behavior and this man who knew each other growing up in the school both of us need to kind of a place to stay together it was seeming to be a great idea by his own mother. Then she died. And then the hounds of hell started really coming out. Like to eat me for dinner. I have recordings tapes in there also doubles of them in case something ever happens to me. The first narc 1 and i Also I knew his mother , she was my Sunday school teacher a lovely person . Anyways gotta keep this breath but I would like to be in touch with you in the future about some ideas that I’m thinking about for the healing. Narc 2 was pretty aware that I caught on to him without saying anything but,, it’s like reading the full description of a culver narc/alcohol fueled something? And with past military training. There’s definitely many issues but this person , fit to the T -profile. I’m having recording of him of him saying wants to me he thought I was not real I was just in his imagination. I love bombing me and then telling me to go outside and lay down in the road I have a better life and get it by a car. I knew it was time to leave but so did he . In May this year 2021 narc 2 attempted to strangulate me by causing a pressure air and circulation on my throat. Crushed my way box I live through that one and that was unbelievable really horrible even though it’s just it’s like hard to explain I know you know that. And since I had to TBI‘s at its heart and subtract I really felt it was important this time to thank you for that compilation it’s like part of that medical key to unlock red flags. I just like to let you know that this is very helpful information , some day maybe we could correspond by email or something: for privacy. I do believe one of the narcs follows me on KZbin I don’t believe that I know it. It’s kind of like obvious that person has just started a page yesterday and they only looked at things that I did. And I caught him and I called it out on my page of like Tara weekend card people. I said this guy I believe he knows we is I’m not saying anything but this person’s been commenting white and he’s tried to kill me and he still not in jail yet. Incredible soul with Rite to be able to be not just for my Crime Victim which made me more vulnerable. To a really very dangerously lethal statis Sorry for the time of being so long but I need the words out there but also my talk to text is terrible my phone was broken and part of the incident thank God it still works but if the words don’t make sense to skip all of them I needed to get this out in the ether I feel better about that thank you
