[@svetlanaandrasova6086]

Trust me. When they announce a divorce she will claim he was the abuser.

[@annaverano5843]

Yes . I'm willing to bet that is one of the reasons she had doria move in with her . I bet markle pushes Harry's buttons until he looses his temper with her and says terrible things in his fit of rage .and Markle is doing the amber herd and saving his text, provoking harry and secret video record harry when he is not at his best and she will use the text and videos the very day she gets a restraining order against harry or file for Divorce . And her mom will be her witness. And she will blame every lie she conjured up and she will reveal every secret harry has ever told her , she will accuse harry for not allowing her to contact her father and the reason why she never had a healthy relationship with Harry's family she will blame all of that on harry and she will accuse him of being mentally and physically abusive towards her and the children and accuse harry of forcing to say lies about his family . And the sad thing is the media, the sussex squad and even Hollywood will believe her and she will laugh all the way to the bank . Knowing her trophy prince gave up everything in his life to be with her . She even took harry masculinity from him and reduced harry to half a man he use to be .. Harry doesn't even look happy now . They just but on a fake facade in front of the lens. I think the trip to Nigeria finally opened Harry's eyes and seen meghan for what she really is ( loving wife and loving mother she is not ) harry and markle were invited to Nigeria to celebrate Nigeria joining the invictus game family instead it became the meghan show harry had to take a backseat as markle pranced around in her inappropriate dresses and as she cosplayed as Diana princess of wales and the invictus was ignored all together. Markle is insufferable.

@@annaverano5843at last, someone that agrees with me. U explained better than I could. Especially about the media and the squad being on her side. When I’ve tried to express it I start shaking from anger that ppl all agree that she’s a narcissist and know (well not everyone agrees) exactly what a narcissist is and how their victims are in fact victims of the narcissist abuse, still criticise Harry and belittle him, just as she does. He believed her when she said she wanted privacy, convinced him his family are evil. My blood is boiling just thinking about Harry. He truly is alone. Do u remember when his mother died and the nation criticised the queen for not coming out and comforting them with their main character syndrome. She was practically forced to take her grandchildren out so that the ppl could see them and shake the boys hands. Then when the queen died everyone loved her again. How when the king left Diana everyone hated him. Hated Camilla. Now everyone loves them and hate Harry for what he’s doing to them. The true victim in this is Harry. He’s lost his family, his country, his dignity and probably his self worth. She made him think that he couldn’t get better than her and that he was lucky to have her. 😢

[@ryanc5572]

And let them be who they are. That's perhaps the biggest thing. Don't make them feel ashamed of themselves for who they are and give them love so they don't have to get it from everyone else. Because if you don't as a parent " getting love from everyone else" becomes their whole personality, as one can see with Meghan.

[@courtneymcgregor3417]

Narcissism is also genetic. My naternal side have a predisposition to narcissism. My uncles etc and most cousins are normal. My female sibling (I refuse to call her a sister), is a covert, malignant narcissist. She's an evil bitch. She actually started a Twitter account within hours of my mum dying for the sole purpose of destroying me. She didn't succeed but she tried. That set her off to the point that the police had to become involved. She of course tells anyone who will listen, that she's a victim and oh woe is her, she's tried to invite me to get together etc etc. Narcissistic behaviours don't necessarily have anything to do with being 'spoilt' as children.

How many times will people like you get this so confidently wrong? They never once said they wanted to live a private life, they said they were “stepping back as senior royals” and would appreciate some privacy while they transition. Even working members of the royal family ask for privacy, and if i recall had Meghan not just given birth when then stepped back? I think asking for a little privacy at that time, considering how horribly the press had treated her during her pregnancy, is perfectly acceptable, UNLESS you’re Harry and Meghan. When Will and kate ask for privacy, no problem. When the royal family asks to us to give pedo prince Andrew some privacy, NO PROBLEM! The hypocrisy is astounding!

I am very familiar with being in a relationship with a narcissist. They confuse you, make you think what you know happened did not happen. Guilt you and the relationship only usually ends when the narcissist decides it will end. As bad as i want out of my relationship, i am trapped. I understand. I see it in them as clear as day. He tries to defend his family to her on private and she likely screams and tells him he doesn't take her side, although clearly he does, she tells him constantly how bad they are and how they conspire anganst her. Saying " you dont defend me, i would defend you" she puts him down, erodes his confidence. He wont leave.

She’s done what all narcissists do to family’s, torn them apart!

[@HEA5690]

Exactly. I've experienced two narcissists in my life. One a family member, the other was a partner/SO. The family member (not related by blood), tore and destroyed our family from within. Brothers against brothers. Sisters against sisters. Brothers against sisters. Cousins against cousins. All of whom were very close and connected before. But this person, tore apart everyone and enjoys every bit of it deep down inside. The other was a SO that love bombed me and then tried to separate myself from family and close friends, sowing toxic seeds in my brain to make me dislike them or see things more negatively. This is narc 101. How harry doesn't see it, makes me feel sorry for him. But he asked for it and he's too dumb to realize so he's made his own grave, so to speak. He's too chicken poop to realize how toxic she is.

The sad yet funny thing about this, after being with a an ASPD wife for +20years, is that I now I always imagine my life then as holding a toddler's hand. Becuse for these sorts they have fully mastered the art of very skillful lying to get what they want by that age - as you state. Yet, I would never imagine myself dating a child. But that was in effect my life because her emotional state was never fully developed. Leaving me telling her often when to say please/thank you, when to be grateful, when she should express sadness, when to praise the children and then always to smile for the camera (which is an ASPD difference from NPD). Then sadly because unlike being able to immediately identify a toddler by their very size there is no immediate signs of ClusterB. All types within are masters of hiding that through their lies whilst reeling you in with charm and wit. Took me over two decades before my daughter explained that her very mother was a sociopath! Till then I just though "difficult" and a bad marriage! How I wish there was a way to have readily seen her PD....

Excellent. I love the quote "do not think of yourself more highly than you ought. " It's in the bible somewhere but I don't know exactly where!😃

[@BaggageClaim]

Love that!

[@Protomomentum]

idk why any time i watch your video i want to cry, its so thoughtful almost therapeutic

[@PhilG221]

I like this video format, where we get to see more of you. I think it helps build rapport between your viewers and you.

[@JessieChar82]

When she lied about getting married three days before the big wedding , Harry was sat there! Did he not think that was … odd??!

[@jhb1493]

Hello hello - great content as always! Even your plugs are hilarious! I think you are right about a narcissist being incapable of learning humility and being incapable of positive change - that seems pretty well demonstrated, particularly in MM's case. The only thing she seems to learn from her past mistakes is how WRONG everyone else is. You noted that eventually employees, family members, romantic partners, friends - they can sooner or later realize the truth and leave the narcissist. But what about the public? MM reminds me of Amber Turd, in that I don't think either has ever accepted that the majority of the public does NOT view them positively. I also don't see either of them gracefully giving up the limelight - which will probably mean increasingly ludicrous attempts to regain relevance and attention. You think maybe "the public" might learn something positive about appearance vs. reality when the MM supernova comes?

[@BaggageClaim]

With Amber, she had such a public fall that she's gone into hiding, so she can privately find more people to ensnare. I suspect Meghan will have a similar (not as massive though) fall from grace when she and Harry get divorced, and she'll go into hiding. I think the public is starting to learn that already. Whether it's a lesson that will stick is another issue.

[@ostwelt]

@@BaggageClaim If any lesson is learnt by Harkle it will by definition be the wrong one (because they lack the necessary psychology balance to make the correct relationship appreciation). For society at large, no. Historically there is no evidence of the lessons of NPD being learnt by society. Depsite the ancient texts like the Bible or the Greeks warning of them (NPD named for the Greek mythological figure Narcissus, who fell in love with his own reflection). The problem is ClusterB's are blessed with immense charm and wit (e.g. Trump/Johnson) which dazzles all of us. For how long depends but unless you do full psychological evaluation of all the people you meet in the first few minutes !!!!!! (Imagine on that date: "sorry I am not buying you another drink until I have done a full Hare Psychopathy test!") Then PD diagnosis will only come with painful hindsight.

So good to see another Baggage Claim video! ❤

Narcissists are like mosquitos. Every time when they interact with you they thievishly suck up your energy and leave you with an itchy feeling.

[@andrewhoneycutt7427]

Self respect is healthy but it shouldn't be mistaken for narcissism which is a one-way road that has a dead end. Well done @Baggage Claim

[@Flamewolf14]

I really appreciate the section toward the end of how we can learn from the mistakes of a narcissistic and how we should challenge our ego.

[@disco7379]

Had an affair with a married narcissist it almost broke me… as I was sick and unemployed when she discarded me and watched her move on instantly and started telling people she was happy with her husband.

[@p382742937423y4]

That is not fun.

[@cursedcancersurvivor]

You had an affair and thought it would end well? The only one I feel sorry for here is the husband shackled to this harpy.

[@lanazak773]

@@cursedcancersurvivoryes, what a weird comment. Maybe it’s an AI trolling us.

[@SairanBurghausen]

Are you sure you aren't a narc yourself? You participate in victimizing her husband and then depict yourself as a victim? Scum.

[@lbee6060]

Well, my mom once said the only thing that makes her happy is getting any kind of negative reaction out of me. So, yeah. That's great.

[@xoxo_dd886]

Sometimes, i feel like narcissists arent happy, they just have a different twisted idea of happiness than a normal person would have. Meaning most of them would think theyre happy when in reality theyre far gone

[@katherinemartin3591]

I love your analyses of NPD, and Meghan Markle is a textbook narcissist. I have watched all your videos, and would love more content dissecting Meghan's awful behaviour and her inability to introspect and understand that it is her actions and not her skin that make her repulsive to so many people!

Dear Baggage, What an excellent video! Many thanks.

This is sooo true, what an awful experience . Takes years to get over them. Can destroy a lovely post relationship until one réalises one had PTSD.

Notice how she has put herself more into the vid as well? I remember suggesting this in a previous post. Itll work like a charm for views

[@fuferito]

I see that we've all learned a lot on the subject of narcissism from HG Tudor.

[@acroyryn]

You're such a great speaker. Thanks for not making this a psychological opportunity. A lot of people are actually narcissists, but not at the level of the elites. The main thing is only we can think ourselves out of these patterns. Who knows the stakes the rich and famous have to maintain this false image.

[@user-lr5yy4io2w]

Your work is spectacular. The only improvement would be to produce more of it. More content, more videos. Each are fantastic.

[@susankayewriter]

I am endlessly fascinated by narcissism and those in the web of it. (I struggle with whether they are victims or happy travelers on that particular road.) Anyway, I just wanted to say that this is another great video and that I love your delivery and broad topics. Talking Meghan and Harry and then pivoting to Geek culture and holding your own with Drinker and Co is no mean feat.

[@prestonowens4594]

Hey man, we are all broken in different ways. I think it’s good to recognize our own flaws. Life batters us all.

[@hsk2909]

Love the way that you turn around this understanding narcissism journey as an onlooker (or participant in their life in one form or another) in to understanding more about our own disappointments and expectations not being fulfilled or exactly the way we want it. At the 09.00 mark forward or a bit earlier, when you speak about your own experience with your own videos, when something doesn't perform view wise the way one somehow expected to, is a weird sensation. I have another channel(i am a visual artist) where i make videos of (some) very famous people, alterations to their music, using remixes and footage of the performer in question and make up entirely new videos, in unexpected ways, and sometimes i have worked on a video like 6, 9 months..a YEAR sometimes before everything sits correctly and i'm obviously super proud of my own work and i have a very good "fan base" whom have followed me since the beginning, some nine years ago..(but i am NOT monetized, so i am limited in visibility by algorithms, i get that) it feels i dunno..disappointing, strange..it's a weird feeling because it me ME feel like i'm feeling something WRONG or shameful so to say. But at the end of the day, i have spent so much time of my life alone in various sets and circumstances and for a number of reasons and i think about shit real deeply and therefore am always the first one to analyze my own judgments about myself. Am i REALLY behaving or reacting in a selfish or egotistical manner because of THIS (whatever it happens to be) ? or..am i just feeling especially vulnerable right now for some reason, i analyze my WHOLE life situation as one, to get a complete picture of -where i am at right now. I EASILY blame myself for shit when i shouldn't, because i was TAUGHT that way by a set of really strict and religious parents, and as an atheist and artist and everything that makes me a person i tend to feel a bit like an outsider in most situations (because of very disturbing things that happened in my childhood, one becomes a life long "weirdo" so to say) , so..when i feel that insecurity about myself creep up when some video "only" makes it to 2000 plus views or whatever when i was expecting OLD numbers of 10k or whatever..it takes me on an analytical journey INSIDE, rather than outside. And so, i know i am NOT a narc. They never make such an interior journey with themselves. Sorry i rambled on here a bit but, thanks for a BRILLIANT video and communications , openness and showing your own vulnerable feelings. It really helped me right now. I know it will have the same effect on so many others. You are a true healer. (ps. edited only for typo reasons)

[@andydavid683]

She has no joy, ironic how the one woman to beat the odds and win the heart of a real life Prince without being of royal or noble birth.............. You'd win 4 State lotteries before you could come into the British Royal Family. Yet she's a far cry from Cinderella or Rapunzel,she has beauty but no elegance, no selflessness,lack of appreciation for her life, seeking or dare I say begging for attention..... I honestly pity her kid's mental health, Harry made his choice We all have our flaws but Megan personifies them. The wicked can never know happiness.

[@user_ytndslk]

Honestly, so o Lu remember Maghan and Harry because their haters keep talking about them. If not for the haters, I wouldn’t know that this couple are alive. Haters are super fans- STANs Y’all just keep raising the profile of this couple.

[@SJ-xg3rv]

I enjoyed your description of our ego and it's need to codify what we believe is our identity, and the fight it puts up when given uncomfortable truths about our behaviour, and the cognitive dissonance that we then struggle with. Your reminder of the need to be humble is important.

Another wonderful video BC, thank you. I realised watching this that Meghan actually makes my skin crawl now. She didn’t used to, when she came onto the royal scene I thought she was a breath of fresh air. She’s brought all this upon herself. I bet she even resents the attention and sympathy Kate is getting for her illness. Yuk.

[@kevinroark5815]

Why did the Prince selected an average looking divorced B actress is beyond my comprehension.

[@sojalemmi1515]

It was probably the first black but not too black person he ever met and thought it would be a great virtue signal to bring someone he could sell as a "common black person" into the royal family.

[@justBeOrDontB7568]

I get a smile on my face when a new Baggage Claim video drops. Narcissim is such a tough thing to talk about and it's even worse having to deal with one, but you talked about it so well. A weary day at work is definitely made up by your smile and positive vibes!

10:21 She couldn't even hide her hatred -- by shooting dagger eyes -- for anyone whom she sees as stealing the spotlight off of her. When in fact they were simply answering a question in an interview. And she does this even to her own mother (02:24), and her husband (00:58).
