7 Things You Must Understand About Future Faking

[@Bibleinformationandhelp]

If a narcissist is willing to leave you and get with someone else, don't be sad about it. You may have a bond with that individual. Is it really healthy? Let that person leave you if they want to go. You don't deserve mental and verbal abuse. In a sense, they are kind of doing you a favor. Heartbreak is normal in life. Just learn how to deal with it and don't let it make you negative. Choose to think positively about any negative situation you're in. You will heal from the pain.

[@Carl-pq9vd]

Year out and still cant move on. Hardest part was when she played victim and made me out to be (i kid you not) a liar, a thief, a dangerous stalker, mentally ill, queer, etc etc after i cared for her, loved her unconditionally, and supported her for three years. After the discard she guilted her mother into buying her a massive rural property we had fallen in love with but could never afford. Knowing she's living there with her new friends and lover is a killer. She hasn’t worked in ten years.

This sounds exactly like my 8 year marriage .This is truly damaging behavior . Sorry you went through that . The bottom line is we are all better off without these people .

[@ShroomedAgain]

I don't know if my ex was a full blown narcissist but this all checks out really well. It went from "You're the perfect man" to "you never do anything for my family" *I went to every single one of her families events save one* It seemed when her sister got pregnant, then I "needed to be doing SOO much more!" looking back on it the red flags were pretty obvious, I figured because of our shared faith she would have a little more desire to work things out in a Biblical sense. Nope. Thank God I wanted to enforce my own boundaries and only lost 7 months of my life learning that lesson.

[@dontassumemyfender9866]

The hardest thing for me to come to terms with is that all the red flags were there from the very first few months. You notice little things, how hard they are loving, how much you have in common, the sex, the messages. And that all slowly disappears and the arguments they generate out of nowhere and always after a good weekend, almost like self sabotage. Before you know it, 5 years has past and you're stressed and wondering how you got here. When you spend some time away and the fog lifts (the fog that she created), you start to see more clearly. Scary thing is, she has a child. And according to her all her exes were abusive, her child's father was apparently a narcissist.

[@treydudley]

Nah he’s a normal dude most likely. Same situation man. You’re not alone

[@ianarn]

She probably acted out with manufactured drama to force him to walk away so that he could be framed as the blame holder. Sadly because of inadequacies in the law some women are able to abuse children by alienating them from their father and taking him to court for exorbitant child maintenance payments which are often spent on other things than benefitting the child.

[@kencondor4337]

You just explained me 25 years later. Now with Codependent 34 year old son.

[@JCYS12]

@dontassumemyfender9866, man, I had very similar experience. A pwBPD/NPD; involved with her for 2.5 yrs. She also had a kid. Her child's father was "also a narcissist" just like all her prior partners who she claimed never to have loved. She had a child abduction lawsuit from another country which she eventually settled. I had no idea it was going on until I was in deep. Shee said I was the only guy she had loved ever; she had never loved anyone else! mhhhmmmm (that was for me a major red flag) however, I continued going with her. During the relationship, she ghosted me many times, hoovered me back and towards the end she eventually discarded pretty badly, not once (but three times) as I continued to give her another chance, feeling that I could try harder and maybe make it work. I left the relationship as I was physically and mentally very exhausted. She tried to hoover me back for many other times for the next 8 months after that. She got together with the same guy she had tried to use during our last months of the relationship to make me feel jealous. After less than a year she was pregnant by this other man. It's been so crazy. I feel bad for her children and the new guy will end up the same. It's just a matter of time.

[@stickyknuckles9800]

Sounds like a near on mirror image of what I went through other than my experience was over about 16 months. I spent so long going over situations in my head.

1. doesn’t have the capacity to love you in a way that is healthy, mature, or genuine. “Love” is transactional and conditional, based on you providing them with what they need, feeding their ego with constant validation to reflect their idealized version of themselves back to them. You are a shiny object to be discarded. Will then distance and then discard. 2. No amount of validation is enough. They feel empty, anxious, and dissatisfied, and project those negative feelings onto you. You may feel as if you unworthy, not good enough, to blame, and totally replaceable. 3. The internalization of blame, thinking If I jump hoops, he will be happy. As soon as the honeymoon period is over, they start blaming you for their expectations not being met. This was never about you. You are simply a scapegoat in a long line of scapegoats. 4. Will prey on your deepest needs and desires to hook you, to control you by pulling the rug out from under you. Face the fact that this was a bad investment. Cut your losses. Let go of the fantasy. Accept that the relationship was built on lies. 5. We cling to the memory of who we thought they were. Duped by your own mind and delusions, perhaps because it’s better than the cold,hard truth. 6. Struggle to understand why they did what they did. You try to make sense of all of it. He is programmed that way. To clear the fog, accept that they don’t think the way you do and their harmful behavior is not a reflection on you, but of their disorder and their programming. 7. Hope they’ll change. The truth: They can’t be changed with patience, unconditional love, or by giving more. Their patterns are deeply imbedded in their personality and meaningful change is rare.

I was in a bad marriage with narcissist #1. He was saying, "I wish you would get hit by a car and die so that I could remarry without the sin of divorce". Narcissist #2 came along and started love-bombing me. "If only you were free - you are everything I wanted". Long story short, I left. Narcissist #2 told me not to contest the divorce because we were going to get married and live happily ever after. So I didn't. But Narcissist didn't want to get married "right away". He strung me along for 5 years, slowly devaluing me. I read a lot and I liked art, ballet, and museums. At first, he thought that was all really cool (of course, mirroring me), but after a while he said I was stuck up and thought I knew more than anyone else. I had to grovel and grovel and grovel. Then he despised me for being a worm. One day he found someone else: younger, and blond (I am a brunette). He put my stuff out and changed the locks. Since I did not contest the divorce, I had no alimony, and no money. I had to LIVE IN MY CAR. He went to a new church with this girl and I showed up when church was being let out, and I was screaming and yelling at him in front of everyone. I found out later that they all felt sorry for him because he had this nice girlfriend, and the crazy woman (me) was stalking him and screaming at him "for no reason". They told me that I had a demon and to leave the premises or they would call the cops. They all felt sorry for him. That was a long, long time ago, but it was devastating. (I finally met a nice guy, an old acquaintance from church. He had a narcissistic wife too who abused him. We both understood what had happened to each other. We got married and built a good life together because we are both hard-working, caring people.

The thing about a narcissist, is that until they have their narcissistic bubble burst, they assume that everything that you're doing is just for them. I have moved on from a narcissist, but they can't let go. Something that I noticed is to continue to do the things that I like to do despite whatever they may think. They'll be fine narcissists just don't understand their place in the cosmos, Kind of like in the book A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, when they put people in that machine that shows them how small they are, compared to the vastness of the universe. Just a thought, I think part of a narcissist problem, is that they spend so much time searching for their life's meaning or their life's purpose and have not done the inner therapy work or on themselves and their inner critic (Self- talk) is not realistic and healthy.

Hi Lise I’m in a slightly different situation where one of my kids has npd behaviors that you have described so often and especially this video. He’s mid-30’s married and has a 5yo son. I tried the “kind supportive father” role to help him; financially, validating his feelings towards his siblings, and his mom. I waited for months at a time for little windows of opportunity when he might ask, “What do you think?” Within a few sentences of describing how I see his shortcomings he objected, blame shifted, gas-lit, and pointed out how “they” started it. Our final (for now) conversation was about 6 months ago. He asked me to drive 8hrs and spend a week or more to help fix up a debt-free home his wife inherited. I said ‘no’. Hire a contractor. The silence from him is something I’m growing accustomed to. However, he’s brought on-board a new flying monkey - my 86yo dad who has not yet seen through the lies. I am so glad you publish your content. It has been immensely helpful.

She was from the start copy me, liked everything what i did or listen, she loved my tv shows as it was all of her favorites, but i was every 2 weeks anxious, laying in bed, thinking what i did wrong. She let me sleep in a anxious overthinking state and the next morning she did of it was nothing, lied about everything. If she send you in the middle of the night, right before you want to sleep, a photo of a women (medusa) with a lot of different personalty heads overpowering a sad anxious men.

[@mukesh.dhimar]

Lise, first of all I have to say that I do believe that you're probably literally saving lives with all the videos that you do. Secondly, everything is on point as always. It's maddening so many people are going through similar things to I am. It's horrible but comforting that I can give and get advice. The Demon did everything. False promises and hopes. Wanted me to marry her. Told all my friends she was going to. Looked at rings and wedding dresses etc. The sex was perfect. The holiday plans etc. Then the abuse started. The cheating, the lies, the excessive drinking, the drug taking. The blame shifting. There were times I was apologising for things that I hadn't even done! Telling my friends and families lies about me. Telling me that because I wasn't there for her, I was useless and didn't care. Telling me once that I needed to get help. Telling me I wasn't the last person she slept with. Always coming back after days of ghosting me, sleeping with other guys and doing drugs etc. She has two children with two different dads who she always struggles with because of her behaviour. She made me out to be the greatest thing that happened to her. Her saviour. I was stupid enough to believe it. I put myself in danger several times. I looked after her as much as I possibly could. I'd come to her house and she'd be laid out drugged up, drink everywhere. Once even outside on her lawn with her neighbour who she used to sleep with stood over her. And the next morning she blamed me for it. Saying I wasn't there. I was so heartbroken and completely lost myself. I found myself crying out of nowhere. Hyperventilating. She'd told me once after an amazing day and night out that she slept with her neighbour recently. Anytime good things were happening, she'd ALWAYS end up ruining those times by saying or doing something that would be disgusting. Either flirting with a guy or telling me stories about other guys etc. There was other stuff. Worse stuff. I got out. After two months she sends me an email with a picture of her new boyfriend (I didn't open the picture) saying he's asked her to marry her. She now periodically emails me asking me to unblock her and call her.

[@DwyaneWadeCounty]

Anybody here was forced to take "cold/flu meds" by their woman when you didn't want to? Like I have seen my woman literally screamed and yelled at her son because he did not want to eat the Taco Bell she bought because he was not hungry. He is young and timid. He dropped his food. Her yelling made him inadvertently drop the food. Now she orders him to pick it up. Then she bullies him into eating the food. Son looks terrorized. Now the kid as been living with his dad in another state for 6 months now, but she thinks that the dad has kidnapped her son. The only reason im still with her is because she got me out of my even worse toxic women family. Like, they really wanted me dead. Now, I am trying to formulate a plan to escape this Ridley Scott's _Alien_ . I am not even a fan of the films _Alien_ but that is how she appears in my dreams. Before I was involved with a diagnosed BPD woman. I personally believe I got into this whole mess because of my toxic female family; they infected me on a subconscious level. I live in Miami. I am paying $560 for a room across my _Alien_ . I even called Miami homeless shelters a billion times. I even slept in the car a few times. I am saving up. When I save enough, I will hop on in my spaceship, and I am gone. Also, I have to be careful, because the _Alien_ could be spying on me. As a matter of fact, she went to my stuff, my journal, and now she is saying that I am getting paranoid. She says that I need psychiatric help. Also, crazy how many things are coming to me in the form of dreams. For example, I had a dream that I was a kid again in the backseat of my step dad's car, and my little brother said to me that dad does crack. As it turns, I have conformation that he does indeed do crack and probably for a very very long time now.

I believe the first step is to stop believing in what they are saying. Only believe what you see. In some cases, you may have to give them a little trust. Even then, look for results. How much can they really do to you if you don't believe anything that they're saying? Some of them are very imaginative liars. As if they went to college to study lying. Don't do anything for them that will cause you to "sink" if they choose to backtrack on their promises.

My wife fits this perfectly. The only reason that I'm still here is for my kids that she has been physically and emotionally abusive to and the state won't do anything to help. I'm sure that if I left she would get at least 50% custody and I refuse to not be readily available if they need me. Fortunately I'm self employed and set my own hours. For me personally, I feel absolutely nothing anymore.

My ex wife would tell me about all the people on her social media wishing her a good day at work and tell me how I didn't say enough nice stuff to her like what was on her social media. Then she would try to make me jealous over her students looking at her feet because she knew that was something special to me. She would try to get me frustrated and competing against her students and would say how I’m just like her bad students.

Lise, this sounds a lot like Borderline Personality Disorder. What's the difference? My boyfriend/ex-boyfriend was diagnosed with BPD this last week. I've been no contact for a week. This video sounds like him too.

Add a alcoholic to this . I gave to her omg she would hook up with other guys even in front of me . Everything you describe in your intelligent well researched video is what I experienced. It’s taken me a year and half to get over this . I sailed to another country. I enabled a lot of this and I own that .

46 years Married. I had given her a second chance. As soon as she felt comfortable after returning, it started all over again. It was much worse the second time. She did terrible things to me. She was never home with me, she started hanging with older women. Secret walks with a neighbor every morning. Going on Hikes with a group from work which turned out to be one man every Monday night. She would stay out very late. When she returned home she would walk past me and say nothing to me. She would go into the bedroom and be texting someone. Last straw was coming home at 11:00 pm and rush past me upon entering the house and run into the shower and bathing before going to bed. She never showered at night. I noticed she washed her under wear in the sink and tryed to blow them dry with her hair dryer. That was it. I filed, for Divorce, because I could not take this anymore. She blames me for her being considered a Adultress, because she would have to have sex with someone if I Divorced her. Dam.

I got the blame recently, bombarded with texts, for walking away.... And it's ALL my fault apparently....

[@olaska144]

My ex, moderate overt narcisist, discarded me and fell for a woman, that is in my opinion, a severe covert narcisist. Now I wonder how he will end up with her. He has got what he wanted so I just think of his health, what will happen after she gets bored of him. I think about it only because of our children, cause they love him. I've got an impression that after love bombing is finished she will suck the life out of him.

[@Bibleinformationandhelp]

Future faking is a very big one. I don't believe in what they say. At least the majority of what they say. If you are going to tell me certain things are going to be a certain way in the future, OK. At the same time, I am going to deal with you on a day-by-day basis. I'm not going to overly and deeply invest in something that you are saying that may not even be true. Once you are able to produce results, I MAY add to it bit by bit. If by handling things in this way annoys them then that, then that may show you what their true intention is. Perhaps gaining maximum benefits from you while reciprocating little or nothing.

[@dbarnes7048]

Not kidding this is like she had a camerea watching my last 25 plus years of my life, its terrifying

[@imaginedo2407]

They are like interpersonal terrorists. She broke every promise she ever made, many times. She broke every apology dragged out of her. She broke every agreement we made many times. She would break trust, deny, deflect, gaslight and when that wasn't working she would rage punish and try to shift blame. After a week of this episode she would come back with an apology and I would take her back for the entire thing to start again within a day or a week. It is brutal. I still find myself wanting her to keep her word and make the amends she promised to make so we could have the future that was dreamt of together but she is already off seeking a new victim to fool. Manipulated and lied to her family, her son and my own daughter to hide her behavior. She actually tried to erase all of our texts and emails which were nothing short of absolute proof of her personality disorder (luckily I had back ups) When I eventually left after 500 chances given and 500 chances shit on, I am the loser, I never loved her, I don't care about her or our family and I was the abuser. Stay with them and you will be punished and abused, leave them because they won't get the help they need and they will punish and abuse you. That is their deal. Letting go of the fantasy is brutal, to realize I fooled myself for so long despite everyone around me trying to help me out of it.

I’m sure my boyfriend is watching this… he has called me a narcissist and educates himself watching utube influencers….He had me thinking maybe I was…. Had me questioning myself. I think maybe he was projecting his narcissistic tendencies to me. Question…. Are all, or most, dismissive avoidants also narcissists? I'm starting to think this is possible. Very similar behaviors and traits.

[@pedrokarstguimaraes1096]

Not always Lise… in my case she always recuse the idea of having a future together. Only in the end she wanted. All the time, ending every 3 months, for 10 years, always in great drama. She recuse even to accept we were in a relation, even If everyone knew that. Only in the end she wanted to be together. Só, that recuse pushed always away any idea of future, even If I talked often about… Not always…

Is possible to change Narcissist personality? My wife & dated for almost a Year & then got married. I ignored red flags at beginning & today after 8 months of our marriage, she is not home (staying with her mom from past 2 months). She is least bothered about the relationship. I tried getting her back (as I am an Anxious partner) but she don’t come. All the fault is mine & she even says “if you want me back, then you have to follow what I have to say” & if I tell her negative points, she says, “You are not in a position to demand anything”. But prior to marriage when I used to say her, “we will get some pause for marriage & give some space for each other to think about this marriage” she went & did all the possible things to assure me how she is going to work this out & how she is going to be there with me all the time. But after marriage she is 100% a different person & now she is not even staying with me. Please suggest Lise is it possible that a Narcissist can change?

[@JohnSmith-wo7ns]

What if she's incredibly materialistic and ends up with a wealthy man who appears to give her all she wants? Will she still end up withdrawing and treating him badly when the honeymoon phase is over?

[@Sweetpea-2023]

Don’t be attached to her outcome. Probably not if he is providing for her. She will keep the act going, cheat, lie and do whatever she can get away with.

[@JohnSmith-wo7ns]

@Sweetpea-2023 you're right.

[@Sweetpea-2023]

@ I’m sorry you went through this. I am 4 years post divorce from a covert narcissist and thankfully on the other side. For me, the rumination was the worst part. Rehashing the 12 year marriage in my mind, the brutal discard, and realizing how trusting and naive I was. I had to forgive myself and focus on my own future, my life, my health, my peace, my joy. Wishing you peace.

[@mukesh.dhimar]

Yep. Because the same thing happened to me. After the cheating, the abuse, the humiliation, the blame shifting...she got together with a wealthy man two months after we split and then getting engaged to him....two months! What is she doing now? Emailing me... literally begging me to call her.
