Here’s a brutally honest sign to: you clicked on this video. Now there are two reasons for that. One, you are just really anxious about your relationship, maybe you haven’t been treated right before and you are just looking for validation to make sure this one is the one. Or you know you’re in a toxic relationship and you want someone else to tell you because you know you should leave. Well if that second one is you, here’s your sign. It’s time to leave them behind and find someone better. You can do it!

[@Stubbornclarity]

But he wants to destroy me. And everyone thinks him and my other abusive ex are perfect saints,it's breaking my heart.💔 and my ex is love bombing me a lot but lies to me. He never hits me though. His wounds on me are psychological and invisible.😢. Everyone thinks he's great, and both him and my murderous ex are working together ( at least that's what he threatened me with.) Then he said," what if I throw you in jail?" " What are you going to do then?" Then he goes back to being nicer. It's torture. Because I can never guess what's coming next. And there's spyware on my phone. They keep doing it! I've gone through so many phones. I feel so trapped and defeated.

[@Stubbornclarity]

I have two ex's that want to hurt me. One threatened that he'd get the other one after me. I've tried to leave but they found me and I ended up coming back because my other ex sent people ( gang members) after me when I moved out on my own. There's no escape For me. It's too late

[@riffmagos]

I was in an emotionally and mentally abusive relationship for ten years. This exacerbated my existing childhood traumas. I wouldn't wish that experience on my worst enemy. 😔

[@ArchAngel435]

26 yrs, mentally, emotionally, verbally financially and sexually abusive. I don't recall the love bombing, but I failed to set strong boundaries and got caught in the web of lies and manipulation. Still dealing with the trauma bonding

[@bluelotus9654]

Ì would say a common sign is actual verbal abuse and controlling behaviour and constantly criticizing the other person, frequent anger, insults, demeaning the other person, frequently telling the other person they are incompetent or they cant do things, constant criticism, not wanting the other person to go out and do things, frequent ignoring or not listening, etc. Then refusing to acknowledge any of that. Also a very clear sign is in the home. There will be an issue freqently around Cleanliness. The person will either be a sloth or neat freak or combination to suit. It can manifest many ways, but often often involves them bringing those around them to task (very easy way to abuse others and come up with whatever complaints they like). Basically it's a convenient way for them to be a frequent Tyrant and abuser in the home.

[@bethanyroserubright3484]

I think it might be even harder if both partners are narcissists themselves and sometimes I worry that either I might be in a relationship with a narcissist or that I might be a narcissist myself. I know I have a lot of inner demons and sins that cause me to struggle with my relationships and even making new friends. 😢💔

[@pearlsplayground]

My first relationship I did not realise was abusive until I got out of it. The reflections I underwent during therapy and being alone hit me hard that all those signs were true. I was blinded by what I thought was love because that was all I wanted. The most heartbreaking thing for me was I wish I knew back then how to stand up to him during the times I felt sad or terrified. I am in a much better place right now but there are days I look back at that person and wished I could help her. I hope anyone who reads this who has ever been in this similar situation, know you are not alone. There are good people out there who will listen and be willing to help.

This video is everything i needed to hear. I knew everything the girl i was dating have done all these things but i always thought she did all these things unintentionally. I also have ADHD which made me fall in love with her intensely and it is much harder to leave her. She fake promised me things like she can't leave me at all even if she wanted and now she is withholding love. I am grateful for the friends who recognised this behaviour and told me to leave her. I started my ADHD meds again and now i am planning to leave her.

Wow!!! You are describing my wife to a T. She has been verbally and emotionally abusive for a few years now. She insults me in front of our friends and makes me look stupid. I pack my stuff and was ready to leave. She was shocked and I told her I’m not dealing with her shit anymore. She finally agreed to go to counseling with me. She is starting to turn around now and realized she pushed me away.

[@kindnessandgracestaysmilin5990]

But just to be clear this isn’t to say there won’t be rocky points in a healthy relationship. And like in the beginning where it says going to sleep worried, sometimes that is a personal insecurity problem to work out. Which I definitely had in the beginning of my relationship, bc I was insecure, but if you’re needing validation constantly that can be exhausting for the other person.

[@goodenoughgirl8102]

It can happen in any type of relationship in any setting, not just romantic ones. I recently found myself sucked into a thing for maybe around 2 weeks (non romantic) before I realized and saw it. Even that short bit had me reeling for days and going back and forth with a ton of self doubt. I nixed it tho but even after doing what had to be done, there was still a lot of mental torment to push through. Not my first rodeo, but ya know they tend to pounce when you are having a vulnerable moment or going through a vulnerable season…(In this case I had a short bout of feeling lonely and there they were)…and that’s why it can happen to anyone who is simply a human being. Anyone.

Please someone tell me it's going to be okay. I've been abused by a goddamn narcissist for over 4 months. Never been reciprocated, appreciated, always felt like a burden for expressing my needs, wants and desires. Got told i was things a big deal, that i needed to shut up. She was always there physically but never spiritually. I never felt her existence with me. Eyes rolled whenever i adressed something that bothered me. Never controlled her, never stepped in her life trying to control things, but at the end i only got irritated by a real irritating guy and wanted her to put a little distance. Guess what ? Got labelled as insecure and controlling and now i've been left...

[@pechaa]

The leaving was a gift. You're free now. Best wishes.

[@joannm5981]

This happened to me too. It’s not your fault, even though they try to make you feel like that. A normal person would respond to your concerns/needs/and wants with consideration and kindness. Not, “it’s not my fault you’re insecure.” I was told that too. All the while you’re trying to show them love and care. But at some point you break, I did. I blew up bc of all the dismissing my concerns and the built up little jabs, “that were jokes.” He ended it saying my intent was mean, but his was joking. These people are not safe and they have things going on in their head that need help from a therapist. Anyway , didn’t mean to rant but know you are not alone in this. Hopefully we will find someone that will truly respect and cherish us.

[@123MG]

The biggest insult my Narcissistic ex did to me was convinced me I was not only the entire problem in the relationship but I was the abuser and her leaving was her being freed from my 'grasp' . She for some reason wanted to stay and be friends though...which added to the immense levels of confusion I was experiencing. When I realised about a month after the discard I told her to move out and find somewhere else. She stonewalled me for the entire month before she left and turned extremely petty in her behaviour. I'd compare it to a spoilt child who wasn't getting her way. So glad she's gone but feel so sorry for the next person who let's her in.

[@dgator3599]

My husband is a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Sweet as pie to his friends, a total jerk at home. Even bad mouthing his friends as soon as he gets off the phone or comes home from seeing them. Of course I don't have friends...he's made it impossible. "They aren't coming in the house" or "You aren't talking to her again, she puts ideas in your head". If I even talked to a neighbor outside, he'd come to the door calling me inside saying he needed me in the house. I call our house "the compound". We have 14 cameras outside and he has an app on his phone so he can monitor when the garage door opens. Of course he has an excuse for everything. I see through it now. I changed the lock pattern on my phone. He became irate. Story of my life after 33 years of marriage.

[@Stubbornclarity]

He 100% has spyware on your devices. Nothin you do there is private! You are in extreme ⚡ danger. Proceed with caution. Don't let him feed you food or drink that he made. Make sure that you pray every day. That's so important. I believe you. And I believe in your strength! Do not do anything different for now. Be careful. Leave your devices behind if you ever decide to get out. Because mine stalks me with spyware on mine. All they need is the phone number to send a text that downloads it! You need help. Prayers for your safety. 🙏

[@lucyt-c8092]

Be careful because he's probably monitoring your phone! They can buy software that can be downloaded via a text that shows the abuser everything that's going on in the phone, including the location! Very important that if a person leaves that they leave their devices behind! But new ones from a store you don't usually go to. Prayers for safety. Research from a safer device how to get away! For sure.

[@thatgirlwiththecrazyhair2067]

Could you make a video about when the manipulation leads you to give up your independence like encouraging marriage, moving in quickly, finding you a job in the same workplace etc etc. I know theres no right or ethical way to tell someone how to get out of abusive situations but when i wonder if theres any things to think about when trying to escape a manipulative relationship when its at its worst. I want the people who are deep in it to have access to this information. My friend is currently in this situation and I handled it badly. With how her boyfriend controls her, the words i said probably added to her reasoning. I may never talk to her again. She blamed me (advised by her current boyfriend) for being a bad friend and that she had to cut me off for that reason. I found out through someone else that the boyfriend then gave her an ultimatum. It was me or him. I handled it badly because my mental health was in the trenches and i took it to heart. Didnt say the greatest words to her. Shes cutting off everyone left and right. Theres less and less people who are able to mention the red flags without being cut off and i think it would be beneficial for all in similar situations. They may come across it because youtube is amazing like that. Thank you for this video though, its helping me understand alot. I know I should have made it alot less obvious that i was critising the relationship and just been a silent watchmen almost. I pushed her to cut me off because i didnt have the capacity to sensitively handle this. Because of realising that im determined to educate myself on topics of abuse and trauma and really understand the severity of these situations. I lost a friend that day and it haunts me knowing i can't help her anymore. I lost my chance. Thank you psyc2go ❤ you're doing wonders.

How to save someone who's in a abusive relationship?...

[@unbuennombre5040]

Send them the video!

[@juliefisk8066]

You can't save them. They have to want to save themselves. No one could save me from my 30-year marriage to a covert narcissist. Everyone saw it except me. I knew there was something wrong with him, but I always blamed myself, which is what he wanted me to believe. One of my children is currently living my exact life. I have tried to help her get out, she makes the same excuses I did for 3 decades. When I finally left, she took my ex-husband's side and didn't speak to me for nearly 6 months. She even considered never letting me see my grandchildren ever again. The person in the relationship has to come to the realization that they need to get out on their own. The more you push, the more you try to get them out before they are ready, the more you will become the problem. Trust me. Please just be there. Just love them in whatever moment they are in. Don't run away because it becomes too much, or they won't listen to you. They need you, in the good and bad times. I was abandoned by many people who promised to never leave me because they couldn't handle it. Being involved with a narcissist is a very lonely, sad, stressful, and horrifying place to be. We just need to know that we have someone we can count on. You are a wonderful person for wanting to help. It takes a strong person to see and speak the truth, even when we don't want to hear it! Many blessings and love to you. Also, please remember that once they get out, the battle will just be beginning. They will need you more then, than they do right now

[@Stubbornclarity]

Research support shelters. Slip a note with crisis numbers on it quickly and quietly to the person. Don't forget to advise them to leave old phone behind as the abuser will often load it with spyware that can give away the victims location! Give money and understanding. It might take awhile for her to get fed up enough to leave. Be patient, and listen. Encourage documenting the behaviour and only put that proof in a safe place! Like a friend house. Photograph bruises . Make copies. Smartest thing you can do. That's what I did. Pray for her safety. This can be life and death. Remember Chris Watts and what he did.😢. Tell her that she should try to keep him happy ( only for now) and to not be afraid to reach out from a friend's devices. NOT her own. Best advice on it I can give and I speak from experience. You're an awesome friend to care! Blessings.

[@lucyt-c8092]

they have to save themselves- You can pray hard and stay ready tohelp when they are ready..

[@Stubbornclarity]

You can give them a list of shelter phone numbers and crisis numbers. You can be supportive and document the abuse with photos of bruises. You can tell them to leave their phone behind because sometimes abusers put spyware on their phone that will give away their location. Find My Device should not be on. My stalker ex kept finding me because he did that. So it's very important that she uses a safer device to find resources! Prayers that she or he gets out safely! .

[@sbtiger556]

Final question. Can a person truly and genuinely understand a behavioral trait or concept, if said person has not experienced it for themselves? Everything in life is genuinely understood through experience. All the research and academic knowledge in the world will not hold water until one lives it.

It is 100% impossible for me to ever be I an abusive relationship ever again. I simply refrained from ever having friends, or a girlfriend, ever again. Their are no rewards from any relationship worth risking abuse again.

I last had, "friends," and a, "girlfriend," The 8th of August 2000 at 18:33. At 18:34, everyone was no longer a part of my life. I will never go back to being social again. Nobody knows me.

In the beginning I was "love bombed" then eventually became deeply involved with an abusive narcissist. This was many years ago. At the time, how was I to know? Now I have regrets because it hurt me emotionally and financially, and too many years were wasted on a relationship that went nowhere. In recent years, I've educated myself about narcissists and narcissistic abuse. Hindsight is 20/20 vision. I wish I knew then what I know now.

[@kittyco0n]

I have been accused of love bombing and gaslighting. Plot twist: my partner has paranoid schizophrenia. I've ACTUALLY never done or said the things he accuses me of. OFC I deny having done or said those things. Lovebombing? Yeah. I see the person behind the illness and despite being blocked and pushed away many times, I am still here for him because everyone else gave up on him. Family, friends, former partners. I can't blame them, schizophrenia is hard to deal with, especially for family and partners and he pushed everyone away because of his delusions of being psychologically abused. No one can really take those accusations for long when they didn't do what they're accused of. Trauma bond? Maybe. But who are we as society if we just walk away from the ones that need us most?

Can confirm all these signs are legit. My ex has NPD and I was trauma bonded to them for 11 years. Break all contact if you can and find support.

[@elisciachristie6984]

I've only gone into a crazy twist. My phone and the person I was with phones kept going off about a sickness and said to get checked out. That was 2021 into 2022. I've been to the doctor’s office several times since, and I have not gotten back any bad results. It's 2024. Now and I can't lie, I have felt different but also. I don't do any of the things I would like to do. I don't like medications. I'm not smoking, drinking, not having sex, no masturbation, I don't watch porn, never really did in the first place, and not clubbing. I go and take walks, take pictures of nature and my grandchild. I've become scared of what to do. I also don't trust the information I get back from doctors because I really saw my information get switched around. So I also don't want to ever be intimint ever again it's already been two years. Oh, and it doesn't help that person flat out said to me, " Oh, you don't want to do that he'll make you sick. I also see my information is still being messed with.

[@Stubbornclarity]

There's spyware on your devices. 100%> you are possibly not safe yet. Get new ones from a store you don't usually go to and better yet get someone else to buy one for you that they won't recognize if you can. You are being digitally stalked. Get rid of old device before you buy the new one and beef up security and take a self defense course. All practical measures to take. Your safety is important! Don't ignore your gut instinct!

[@KimberlyArwen]

When you have a family together sometimes you cant just leave. What would happen to the kids? Where would you live? How would you afford groceries? If your partner is abusive due to their own trauma and mental health issues, it might be best for the family to help them recignize their behavior and reduce the intensity and frequency of the abuse over time.

[@kayagamble]

Could you make a video about different types of physical abuse. Because there are physical abuse that we might not see as physical like getting in someones face, and throwing, and spitting. Things we think "well, he hasnt hit me" and might brush off

[@naumzt6399]

This is so relatable....I'm going through this right now plus infidelity 😢💔

[@Stubbornclarity]

Awww sounds just awful. U have my empathy and support. Get checked for sexually transmitted infections. Change all your passwords from a different device. But if you leave leave old ones behind because my cheating ex put spyware on my phone and sent gang members after me . He kept finding me. Trust me You don't want to take that risk. Make a clean getaway and remember Chris Watts and what he did. We are disposable to evil people. If this person doesn't value you then value yourself enough to reach out to someone you can trust. And leave your old device behind. It's not worth risking your safety. Hugs and prayers coming your way.

[@Goofy_Clown]

I terrible at goodbyes but I think my gf has a lot power over me and the relationship and has used almost all of these manipulation tactics at some point in the relationship. And I think I’m to the point where I don’t even think I have a future with this person and staying any further would do more harm to my mental health and me financially

Finally I know that I am not a weak hooman, thank god. I used to be a emotionally strong person until I fall in love, I got fucked up. Faild from everything, lost huge amount of good friends, lost original me and spend 2 and half years to recover from that abusive relationship. 😢

[@Stubbornclarity]

You can do it! I believe in you! Sending you love and kindness and support. It does get better. It just takes time. The memories will fade, along with the pain eventually. Ride it out and you'll get through this. Take extra good care of yourself. Spoil yourself. Distraction works too. 💛🙏💛

[@tstodgell]

Don't. Never let a narcissist know that you have figured them out, or they'll retaliate. Just go no contact.

[@sbtiger556]

The real question I have is why all of a sudden this incredible movement with all these new concepts. People have always behaved in these ways. The consequences have always been the same. We are still looking for answers. What has changed? Do we truly understand the root cause?

[@GodHelpMe369]

Nothing to live for. Nothing to hope for. 999-trillion oceans of despair and grief. Rage rapes me. I feel suicidal. I don't breathe. I am submerged in frozen darkness. My soul silently wails. I have nobody. I'm all alone. Desperately. Lonely. Filled with anguish and terror. I can only pray to die. I don't know what else to pray for. All I feel is misery and desperation. Grief eats my soul. I cannot, do not breathe. He left me. Discarded me like last week's garbage. The despair is truly unbearable.

[@thegreypath1777]

@GodHelpMe369 - Go to your local Public Library; get a book called “The Obstacle Is The Way”, by Ryan Holiday. Read it. Volunteer. There is always someone worse off than you who needs help. Good luck to you. You are not alone. 💐

[@Lene1973a]

People claiming the other person to be a narcissist, are sometimes the narcisist themself. Let me explain. I know a man who was used to getting his way. Then one day he met a woman who didnt accept this and pushed her own desires through too and draw bounderies. He EXPERIENCED this as manipulation and control, because he was so used to be in control and getting HIS WAY ALWAYS. She set boundaries so he didnt get what he wanted always and EXPERIENCED this ak being controlled. While it was just a boundarie towards him. Its unbelievable, but people sometimes turn these stories 100% around. Think about it.

[@TheNonameHousehold]

Could you make a video all about trauma bond? If you can make it parental trauma bond that be better.

[@BeelzeKid]

yes all the way !

[@sbtiger556]

If one doesn’t understand the true origin of said behavior, what is the outcome? What dynamics do all of these names create in terms of how to fix the named issue? Where do we get the answers as to how to help those with said behavioral issues and those being harmed by them? Is it a mental health professional? Is it someone else? If everyone can be labeled with a new name, what’s the problem? What’s the solution?

I understand everything that was explained here, but what about when this comes from a parent or guardian when one is young? Does it lead to the same problems, possibly similar problems, or because the brain is still developing, is it something that is not so similar?

Yes, truly abusive. It is not a relationship. Because we don't talk. But he spies me, and sends me emotional messages related sex, emotional love messages. Keeps me away from my career goals. Don't let me have my financial independence through his power. He is a spy. He likes to control and manupliate people. He called me third class. That words were very toxic. He gaslights and never shows. He works behind the curtains. He is post- ISI agent of Pakistan.

[@andyy.hergonz]

[@annaburns2865]

It doesn’t matter. When you tell your mom about these red flags she will still encourage you to go for it. Too bad nobody warned you about her. Other than using the word “co-dependent.” Which is a “code” manipulative word in itself.
