YOU CAN DISCREETLY PLAN TO LEAVE, WITH AN EXTREMELY TRUSTED FRIEND OF YOUR OWN ( NOT A FRIEND OF THE NARCS TOO)

[@JustMe-uu3bh]

the thing the narc I am dealing with has repeated in each interaction where she blows up and freaks is that, "you have all these weird different ideas!" which is because I do NOT think like HER and I even said at the beginning, "well, sorry if you are so upset that I do not believe exactly like you do, but I do have my own mind". she HATES that I do not just worship her weirdness. name calling too.....all the while she screeches and raises her voice in high pitched outrage. I do not fight, all I do is say in a calm voice, "I don't mind if you think your way" and I leave the room. I don't argue because it will go circular, there is no commonsense only emotional irrationality due to her fear of losing control. that's all she wants is control over me and my life. not happening. @@joseenoel8093

[@anouk1311]

Yes, you are right. I knew standard narc as i have one in my family. And surprise: i meet a covert narc, which I noticed something is not right, but he was too weak, mood changes, and not paranoid at all. Just he had the blaming others thing and irresponsible in decisions and budget. So after 3yrs i was convinced he is ADHD mixed with a bit of Borderline. But then i discover Borderline is opposite in spectrum comparing with narc. And thats why is common that a narc may have temporary a little borderline traits just on short term , it fluctuates in between the two having main one narc. Same is with Borderline, they can get short term narc traits but it matters which one is dominant. I was a bit amazed and confused as this was completely different of what i knew from my family case. So I become currious and research. To find out he is covert narcissist. And has a bit of ADHD as he cant focus long time to a task or even to read or write long , even he knows how to do it and he is also not a stupid person at all. But he rely on other people to do this for him. Very manipulative, but this is just because he cant do himself. Due to health issue. He knows he is empty inside , and he also fluctuate to negative emotions. I dont think he has high emotions too often. Maybe he is kind for a transactional purpose. To get what he wants.

Danish, you're exactly right. I actually did it without knowing the right tools to do it. He knows now that he can't defeat me. Every move he makes, I dose him with the right words. He knows now that he can't manipulate me. I can predict when he's in the mood to pick on me. His face turns black, and his eyes look like an owl. I asked him what's wrong with you? You look like an owl ready to prey. He was stunned and replied back, "What are you talking about? I told him to go to the mirror and check for yourself. His demeanor changed. Whatever he's thinking was aborted. I became a shrink. 😂

[@rebeccamay6420]

We, as empaths and/or recipients of emotional abuse, can train ourselves to become "vibe readers," if not "mind readers." Once we recognize their behavior patterns, we can "play chess" and anticipate their next two or three moves and plan our own moves accordingly. From watching videos by Danish, Doctor Ramani, and others, I've learned how to better control my own responses to be less reactive. "Gray Rocks" are not as fun to play with. The abuser loses their control over you, and they become fearful. If they're smart, they're the rare few who'll recognize the error of their ways and work on healing the trauma that led them down the path that would lead to their own self-destruction. I hope that there are some who can still seek genuine redemption.

[@loujackson5649]

I was married into a relationship for almost 12 years before I even knew what a narcissist was. I can say that I recommend if anyone is on that type of relationship they should get out. Get away from them as far as you can, fast as you can and leave whatever you have to behind. Never look back and protect your children at any cost. They will most likely be used as a target for payback otherwise. It is a dangerous game and the narcissist enjoys it far most than you will. There is a lot of damage left to clean up after the break for all involved. It is better to break sooner than later. Know matter how broken they seem or how many promises aka lies look away and never believe them. It's sad especially when you love the person but they do/can not love in return. They hate anything that reminds them of you and if they can not turn a person against you, they will hate them also. Even if it's their own child. It's a sick and miserable life and the damage is very hard to overcome.

I have let the narc I am dealing with know that I DO KNOW that she is a thief but I do not confront nor say this outright nor directly............I do not say it outright because she will scream and go crazy...so.....what I have done is.......I act innocent while asking questions, in one particular recent instance because I know how she has stolen a car and several thousand $$$ from our dead roommate instead of giving it to his son or wife (he was separated but not divorced) I merely asked ("innocently"), "Oh so is his son coming to get the car?" (*bats eyes innocently) and she went total silent........stuttering and stammering a response of, "oh, uh, well, it's ah, he can't just come here, he lives too far away"....(she was in total shock I would even know to ask that, like I was stupid) and so I merely (*again, innocently), asked, in a sweet voice, "but all he has to do is take a bus and then drive the car back, right?" and again, she (obviously freaked out that I would know the son would inherit all the dead roommate left here) and she stammered, and acted like that would be "impossible for him to do that" so I countered with, "oh, so you could then SELL the car and send him the cash, right?" and she was totally shocked/silent and so freaked out I would act like I KNOW it's the son's rightful inheritance (since his dad died) and she was keeping the car (and his cash savings) all for herself. how I found out about the $$$$$ in CASH is she slipped and told me the dead roommate had been saving ALL his money to move to Hawaii and (it probably totaled 40-60 THOUSAND in cash at least) and he had been stashing it into an envelope when he died....he had no bank account.....AND she forged his last 4 paychecks when he was laying comatose in the hospital *because as he was dying, she blurted out to me in frustration, "I can't get him to sign his last 4 paychecks!" and because he never became conscious again, I KNOW SHE FORGED HIS SIGNATURE and put them into her own account as he never had a bank account. she is so stupid but I DO know. I think this is why she doesn't push me too far although she does constantly do the SILENT TREATMENT like I do not exist to freeze me out (I am renting in her house) and so pretends I do not exist. this is to make me feel BAD. this is her favorite ploy but since I DO KNOW this is all she does to make me capitulate and to fawn and to be nice to her, I merely ignore it and I always THINK AHEAD OF HER. I also do periodically plant pieces of paper in the trash as she digs thru it to find out anything she can about me and to know what I am doing (I know, pathetic but I know for sure that she does this) so I PLANT stuff so she can find it - like she now has "secret info" on me. But I do this to keep her off my back and calmed down like "she secretly knows about me" all the while I am working on myself to GET OUT AS SOON AS I CAN.........I am praying and watching these videos to stay sane and also I do believe narcs are controlled by the dark side so I call on God to protect me and to guide me on healing so I can get out of this nightmare. sorry this comment is so long, hope this share helps someone, I got to vent, no one I know understands or cares about narcissism so this is my "go to" to stay sane, so thank you, Danish......God wins in the end, so I just need to heal and do my part...

As I’m finding out it’s common for a child of a Narcissist to marry a Narcissist. Sadly we do not see the toxicity within them because it’s our baseline “normal”. The Narc parent trains us to tolerate and accept abuse from our spouse. Getting out will feel near impossible, but I pray one day that we all can do it.

If you are constantly negative, people forget about you. Negative thinking is zero-sum-game thinking. Zero-sum games are they win/you lose games. Compromise is a useful art. Like Danish says, "Everything is a transaction with these people." - I dislike saying it - they are losers. And if you must be subordinate to them, what does it make you? Very much in a bad situation and only you can get yourself out if it. I like to call it the "super ball effect" when you escape. It really does outweigh any perceived negatives you nay have anout "abandoning" "Helpless". It is not that you simply leave in the normal sense. No, you escape and get gone. Do not disclose your location. It is a dangerous time! Be careful. Have copies of keys and important documents in an overnight bag stashed somewhere.

[@triplemania5550]

They're giving you a confession: So true. In an organization, I had to work with this narcissistic woman. She ended up sending me an email, cc to a supervisor who she already manipulated. The letter clearly showed a bunch of narcissistic turds; The idealized self image, the rationalization she used to have no accountability whatsoever, gaslighting lies, and a bunch of accusations that looked like clichés which she did not substantiate, but I could substantiate how she did all those things herself! Supervisor wouldn't hear me but did want to keep me for the organization, which he described as a "kind of family", and came up with a "function elsewhere". Having boundaries can also mean having boundaries for myself and not crossing them. I won't do anything in an organization where I can't trust that I'll be heard when there's a problem. I'll accept no leadership whatsoever from a supervisor who gives his personal interests a higher priority than the responsibilities of his position. Let 'em eat their own stinkin' shit, it's their loss.

Right! I had the narc say one time, " We're always competing." No, they are always trying to get one-up no matter what it is. I just stopped playing those stupid games of miniputlation and intimidation. So they are going crazy trying to find the smallest, most mundane things to blow them up into big issues.

He said to me with the absolute most sincere and serious emotions…“You shouldn’t marry Steve,” I paused and met his gaze. “Oh? And why is that, David?” “Because he’s gay,” David said I married Steve because he told me he wasn’t gay. I wish he would have told me the truth. My life was a book from 11/7/98 Until 2021 Married 13 years divorced him two children grown I didn’t remember any of it until 2021. True trauma. 2 years of ongoing therapy is the only way I figured it all out. He was the worst narcissist and he is out of my life but I am writing the book. 🎉 Healed “kind of” because we will never be fully healed for narcissism. True story

[@PronounsAreHerMajesty]

Going to court with a narcissist?? LISTEN TO THIS!! You provide such clear instruction on how to handle a narcissist in the court system. I have been doing this for 15 years and only in the last 5 did I get smart about it. My daughter’s father is a vulnerable narcissist. Your insistence on objectivity and pointing out behaviors and examples of them is SO much stronger and smarter than calling them a narcissist in front of those at the court. Don’t tell, show. Power stuff!

[@clintonnagy1662]

I was an outsider in my last relationship with my ex narc. Her ex was a narc also. Seeing the insanity between them was hell knowing I could do nothing but observe. It was like watching 2 adult children battle it out verbally when they used their son as leverage in the argument. It was embarrassing and immoral to do such a thing. He is 8 now, and I think of the emotional abuse he has to deal with everyday in a coparenting environment. Both parents aren't fit to raise a child. I wish children services put him in a foster home. The level of insanity I saw from both of them was toxic. She still sleeps in a bed with him and he is 8 years old. In less then 10 years she will have a incestuous relationship with her own son at this rate. Its sick.That child will be on drugs by 13-15 years old because his mind can't process his childhood. We broke up recently and she moved onto her new supply. Not sure why I care but I still do.

Once I stopped arguing back the next thing was it being hard not to try to justify or explain myself. I have to deal with a narcissist elderly mother. What I am trying to do to improve things is 1. lower contact even more. Keep it brief. 2. Do not as far as possible speak about myself. Let them chatter in, encourage their boring monologues. 3. Keep aware when interacting. Relaxed vigilance as Danish says.

I’m in a similar situation with my old narc. mother and try to do the things you mention.

I need to learn how to not be triggered by her brutal accusations. It's my triggers that I have trouble with. I had to even take out a legal violence intervention order against her & I expected her retaliation to come in the worst way. Yes, it came, even to the point of banning me by showing our family that I was unstable & would ruin my mother's funeral. She had me banned from my own mother's funeral only 3 weeks ago! So cruel. That was a trigger I found the most difficult to handle. I would love it if you could do some videos on how to not be triggered when under brutal threats.

I love this videos advice! If you've got a full blown narcissist in your life you've probably realised that no genuine change ever happens, apart from fleeting episodes of " acting" because they've an agenda in current play. Eventually you just get so tired and bored of them you leave . Perhaps you can't physically leave for various reasons, so just leave emotionally! I've been no more than an odd job man and friend with benefits as there's absolutely no commitment from my so called partner , nor any genuine love for me, only love for what I give and do. I've stopped expecting any form of reward and only do what I do for my own satisfaction ( D.I.Y. jobs around her home) I stopped talking about subjects that interest me as she's not listening anyway so now only talk about the weather and what's on TV, ha ha. yawn yawn. I've stopped calling out the devaluing dismissive behaviour because that only created a backlash of mind games, drama and upset plus more devaluing and dismissive behaviour. Actions speak louder than words Narcissistic types are just so so Boring.
