Most here don't remember the draft. Eventually you either had to enlist, sign for ROTC or OCS, or be drafted. Either way you don't get to choose with whom you serve and sometimes just getting through the day is all you can do. All your "gut" instinct is good for during those times is to count the remaining days till it's finally over. Till then they think they "have" you... and there isn't much to do but let them keep thinking that. It was during this time I learned to override my "gut" instinct and just smile and say I'm going home. Because there are some life situations when that is all you have.

[@alphadevoir6310]

Here's a few tips for singles so you can avoid narcissist.1. If you're thinking, "why is this person so interested in me all of the sudden"? This example is called "love bombing". What they will do is shower you with compliments making you feel like Elvis Presley in his element. Then they will tear you down the first time you tell them no. You will go from the ultimate high to the lowest of lows. Kinda like military boot camp, they break you completely down to build you up, but the narcissist uses this method in reverse. In the beginning if it seems like it's to good to be true avoid them. 2. If they don't want to meet your friend's or family. 3. & like Mark said if they cause divisions. They're contsantly trying to turn people against each other. When they don't get what they want from you they will try to turn your friends/coworkers against you. They will do the same to the people they tried to turn on you if they don't get what they want from them. This tactic is called, (splitting).

The rarest narcissist displays the last (9th) characteristic of realizing and admitting they are a narcissist, but it is extremely rare.

What’s difficult with a video like this is that I’ve also displayed many of these behaviours in the past. The pain you bring into potential relationships when you’re uncertain of what you’re doing, or where you’re going - and when you’re hungering for approval - is devastating! Learning to foster a healthy version of yourself in the gospel and helpful counselling brings profound healing and growth. We need to know that God and others love us and nothing that we try to do to make ourselves look more impressive will ever work. I’d love to be in a great God-honouring relationship one day, but I notice that often times I’m not in the right space. It is easier to blame others for our shortcomings or that the shortcomings are because of the other. But often we’re our own worst enemies. Thank you again Mark for the video!

Tony Hello. Yes, I have seen a few healthy relationships myself. When you have someone in your life that is willing to love you and be there for you despite whatever is going on, you both can work together, and it’s not just a one-sided relationship, that’s a good start. An unhealthy relationship, to me, is when literally being in a relationship that you’re working so hard to please the other person because you want to make sure that you don’t make that person mad(because everything seems to bother them or they think they don’t make mistakes either, or the world don’t revolve around them). If you feel like you’re jumping through hoops and literally feel sick trying to hold something together that the other doesn’t really seem to care about, that’s not healthy. Every relationship will have their test and trials but both should be able to talk to each other, not shut the other out. Putting God first and having communication is very important.

You've just described my ex husband. We were only married 3 months when God exposed him. He use to go behind my back to the people at church and say things about me in order to keep every one away from me . He said just enough to make him look like a Godly husband and made me look so like I was the one treating him bad. Everyone believed him and started avoiding me and in so doing they allowed him to isolate me. My church actually felt sorry for him because he told everyone how ban my I treated him when it was just the oppersite. He truly does think he is God. My church didn't realize by the fact that non of the members believed me when I tried to tell them who he was that they were actually putting my life in danger. I lift him and moved away. He is now gone back to his country and he is still in touch with most of the pastors at the church . They all believed him and thought that I was the problem. So I've had to unfriend all mutual friends from the church on fb as a way to keep him away from me. The thing that gets me is How could the church fall so easily for his lies and make me ( an innocent woman) that waited 15 years for God to bring me a husband) feel like in the lier.

This is how the Lord warned me off from a narcissist I was briefly engaged to. I noticed he had some odd behaviors which I was always calling him out on, like making a spectacle of himself at parties. I had never heard of NPD. These vids are so wonderful in helping to understand the syndrome and avoid such people. But in the meantime the Father warned me. Inaudibly he told me "He has a spirit of sadism on him. If you don't get away from him a spirit of masochism will get off on you." I cut him off and never saw him again. About two other narcissists, years later, he told me they had demons inside. From my research NPD is hereditary and related to underdevelopment of the ermpathy area of the brain. But I also believe that makes them vulnerable to demons. No one can give them more empathy cortex, no medicine, no therapy, nothing. I believe they could only be helped through spiritual deliverance, but minsters for that are exceedingly rare and no way always for real.

@Lisa Nangwe All the best. May God bless you every step of the way. Just find strength to deal with it, but leave as soon as you get the chance. Just don't run getting married. First be on your own. Many times it happens that runnung away from something women end up with almost the same. So respect yourself and choose wisely.

Wow very timely dealing with a narcissist in my life right now. Thank you!

[@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger]

I'm so glad this was timely for you!

[@ladennayoung2939]

Unfortunately I feel like I am dealing with several of them. One of them is a family member that is very close to me. It's very tough interacting with that person.

[@BingoBangoBongoBOOM]

I have an associate from high school who was extremely cocky when we were kids, then arrogant, narcissistic and has recently developed a God complex. I distanced myself from him a few years ago because it was getting out of control. He recently wrote a book and directly states the beginning, "I am, therefore I think. I was chosen by God to help you stop thinking." He even has a section claiming that he was able to access the mind of God and saved 3 people from their death beds by conducting x3 miracles. The book is currently on Amazon. It's been bothering me for a while now, but I cant stop thinking about how delusional he has become.

[@LOOTLORD605]

What I did was I didn't look at the narcissists,don't talk or give a single attention,he just went off.

[@Kingdomkid829]

Hey Mark! I didn't realize you had a KZbin channel, but I accidentally happened upon it and I AM SO THANKFUL that you have such biblically based videos about these types of things. I'm so glad to find someone I know for SURE is solid. Thank you for creating this ministry. Hope you and your family is well :)

[@naomianomaly8540]

Guys, consider this: It’s easy to draw a line or build a wall between narcissism and those who end up with CPTSD and other trauma/stress disorders at the hands of a narcissist; but many narcissists were shaped that way through trauma at the hands of other narcissists. And many people with CPTSD appear as narcissists to others. Be careful pointing fingers at those who are clearly wrong because only God has the capacity to judge a person’s heart. Remember mercy. And beware of covert narcissism. It’s the most damaging kind because it slithers in unnoticed. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling and be sure that the light you think you have is not really darkness. ❤️

Oh My God!, I can see some of the narcissistic tendencies pointed out here in me, and also in some people I relate with. But my heart sings to the Lord: Whatever doesn't look like you, that is still reflecting in me, whatever doesn't show your grace, that is magnifying self in me, Lord take it away....

Please do not have kids if you have narcissistic tendencies

[@EphemeralProductions]

that's why we have to stay open to vulnerability, admit to ourselves, God and even others that we are fallible and that we are messed up, no matter how much it hurts, and allow others and God to see us for who we are. and be mindful of our actions that hurt others and repent/ask for forgiveness for those actions. Otherwise, if we don't, it can become a habit of protecting ourselves and that CAN turn us into a full-on Narc.

[@annatheawesome1]

I had a friend who matched at least half of these from my experience. It seems that I migrated into the "no longer useful" category and the friendship has been severed.

[@maliyahmiller5521]

Please pray for me that the lord won’t give me over to delusion. & yeah I grew up hearing ppl say that God would strike down ur enemies. God quickly taught me that isn’t true. Instead he blessed my enemies. Through Jesus, I’m able to not want revenge.

[@TamaraBlissfulPeaceGoddd]

Maliyah Miller you can keep praying to receive what’s been stolen from you or to make things right! Don’t give up on the enemy. Don’t just let it be keep praying for God will! But good job for forgiving see your manifestations are already able to be on there way cause love God is love is flowing so abundance can come to you!

Moor so well said and understood. Have you ever personally known one that repented and became delivered?

[@miraclesforus2]

Because they are demonically infested or fully possessed. That.s your sndwer.

[@sues3218]

That was well done. I have heard people say, "Can a christian be a narcissist?" NO. They are the complete opposite, to the extreme, of what a "born again" child of God is. God changes our heart by His grace through our faith in Christ Jesus, and then He gives us the gift of the Holy Spirit, Who continues to discipline/instruct us to deny ourselves, pick up our cross, and follow JESUS. To love God and to love others. The very act of repentance (humility) is the opposite of the extreme "pride" of a narcissist. They don't humble themselves before anyone EVER, including God. They show NO mercy, and have NO empathy towards another human being. They don't see themselves as a sinner in need of God's mercy. They believe they are like God (perfectly pure and holy), which is the very sin Lucifer did, PRIDE, rebellion against God's authority as Creator. He wanted to be above the Most High God, he wanted to be like God. He wanted to rule the show, and make all the rules. Narcissists "choose" to believe the devils lies (I think that they are the "willfully" ignorant), and are themselves "chronic" liars without conscience. They do not want the truth, even if evidence is given. They love manipulating and deceiving people for selfish gain, it is a "choice" they made by an act of their own free will. Jesus told some religious leaders in his time, that their father was actually the devil because he is a liar and no truth is in him, and they do the very thing their father does. They PRACTICE lawlessness, which is the opposite of God's council in His Word. Those who are in "unbelief", thus in rebellion to God's ways. I truly believe that a narcissist is a person with a "seared" conscience. They no longer sense conviction or guilt. A very scary place to find yourself. They continually gave into their fleshly desires over and over and over again (feeding their sin nature), until their conscience reached a point where it became "seared". There are times in God's word, when He says, "Their iniquity is full and their wound is incurable, they only do evil continually in their heart." I think this may be the "seared" conscience God warns us about. They are dangerous people, who do great harm to others. Rebels against their Creator. I truly believe these were exactly the type of people who lied and deceived to get Jesus crucified. The heart of a narcissist is the complete opposite of "love God and love others". They only know hatred. They only know the opposite of God's council. It is a "choice" they made. A bad choice. I truly believe God has given them over to a depraved mind, it was their desire to continually do evil in God's sight. I think they are the wicked in scripture. I know God can change any heart, but that person must first "humble" themselves and see their true nature. I don't know if a narcissist is capable of that. I sincerely hope I am wrong. I desire all to come to repentance and turn to God for healing. However, God clearly says in scripture that most are on the path to destruction. It is truly sad, when God so desires to heal them, and forgive them, and grant them eternal life with Him. Those are just my thoughts. Glad to hear others thoughts too. P.S. I thank God all the time, that He exposed the narcissist in my life, showed me the errors of my way, and set me free!!! PRAISE GOD!!!

We all need more and more humility, we can never have enough :)

[@familylifescienceeducation5227]

How humble. Most true narcissist would never question such a thing. If you commit to living God's word and serve others and not think of yourself as higher than others, you will be on your way to full healing. Rebuke the sin of pride and always seek the Kingdom. You're a good egg. Keep listening and learning and depending on Jesus. The Lord can heal anything.

[@Kabaselefh]

If you doubt yourself then you are a narcissist

[@pattyeyler2909]

Focus on practicing Humility. Study COMPLETELY through every scripture reference in a great Complete Concordance. Humility is the opposite of Pridefulness which is the sinful foundation of a narcissist. Also, I recommend taking the best Enneagram level test that is offered.

[@KimontheWeb]

Ryan Powell The fact that you’re questioning it means you’re not a narcissist. True narcs do no self-examination at all and wouldn’t even question themselves because they believe nothing is wrong with them. The fact that you’re questioning it shows your humility. Many ppl throw the word around and don’t fully know what it means.
