Collapsed Narcissist, Collapsed Histrionic

Find and Buy MOST of my BOOKS and eBOOKS in my Amazon Store: www.amazon.com...
The collapsed histrionic is usually a woman with body image (somatoform) issues and a low sense of self-worth. Yet, she still needs men and uses them to regulate her flagging self-esteem and deficient self-confidence. This creates a permanent dissonance and anticipatory anxiety as such a woman expects fully to be rejected and humiliated by men.
Low self-esteem often leads to an impaired reality test: the collapsed histrionic misreads environmental, social, and sexual cues and often ends up being mocked, shunned, abused, or sexually assaulted by men.
She compensates for her insecurities with brazen defiance and grandiosity as well as substance abuse, all of which compound her ability to properly gauge reality.
Her feelings of inferiority and inadequacy lead the collapsed histrionic to social withdrawal and reclusiveness. She rarely dates men and when she does, she aggresses against, pushes away, and abuses alpha males, even when they are genuinely interested in her (“preemptive abandonment”).
Instead, the collapsed histrionic picks up "safe" males: weak, ugly losers, who are very unlikely to painfully reject her.
Similarly, the narcissist front is penetrated in times of great crises that threaten the narcissist's ability to obtain Narcissistic Supply, or when the Narcissistic Supply is spurious (fake or low-grade), negative, or static. This is the Collapsed Narcissist (not Failed Narcissist which is a term invented by Grotstein to describe one of the phases in the development of Borderline personalities).

The collapsed narcissist is the most dangerous kind they will pull your heart strings because they look so sad and helpless ....leave them alone

[@jamiecronin967]

They have no empathy for the damage they cause yet can really cry and so for themselves as if they are the injured party.

[@doflamingo8366]

yeah, my ex I starved her of my narcissistic supply... I lost my love for her when she keep posting about her love for her fling Friends with benefits. That's the time I starved her of my affection and our relationship withers, because she keeps ruminating about her ex and fling while we are in relationship... Good thing I was out on it, because of too much triangulation... No contact for 6 months now... To admit she's still on my mind even she's like that has many men narcissistic supply... It was just too much degrading to my masculinity I just cant stand it because I wanted a faithful relationship...

That’s why a narcissists often go for a low grade supply after an “A grade primary supply”. Generally go for someone without boundaries, self-value, or easy to manipulate.

Same with my wife, whom I loved completely and unconditionally, only to see her engage in some of the most self-destructive behavior that resulted in her abandoning her marriage, her life and friends here, and all that she tried to build. The worst feeling in the world is when the one you truly love and see as your life partner just suddenly discard and discredit it all for an alternative life you and everyone around you knows is going to lead to a hard crash.

[@donnagleeson9894]

I have been besieged with all manner of threats, insults, mind games etc mixed at times with cajoling to to win me back by my collapsed narcissist husband. He did me the biggest favour and left, which opened the door for me to close it real tight. When none of his antics worked on me, the threat moved to our adult children. He didn't want us on any level and despite being remarried now, he has in some ways become more dangerous. Yes we've had to drastic steps to hide our address, being detected while driving etc, police have been involved for our safety. It's no way to live but it is much better than living with complete indifference on every level. Healing has come for us as we've maintained our stance and boundaries. Freedom is more of a reality now as we've taken steps to move forward no matter what.

[@ninacouser3024]

This has been such a wealth of knowledge and confirmation of exactly the process we're going through with our elderly mother. Thank you. She is absolutely collapsing. It's so good to be aware of how this disorder progresses. We're watching her sabotage herself and her relationships, and as our supply fades in quality and authenticity, she's generating her own supply. My elderly dad is also living there and we worry about how our withdrawal will affect him. It's very sad. I'm not in contact with her for the past three weeks and I'm enjoying a whole new perspective. Many thanks for such quality information.

Mr . Vaknin I have tried to figure this out for 6 years . I knew I wasn't the good one but I know I have empathy. The people pleaser in me is fake most of the time . I need people to like me and smiling and helping people trick my mind also that I'm not so empty inside. I dissociated hard in my childhood no memory from birth to about 12 or 13 then chunks of time. I can't do a timeline at all. I have C.P.T.S.D. like crazy with anxiety and Cronic Depression and a drug addict ....Wooo never said all that before. I think I'm starting to go down hill deflated. I am withdrawn for sure . I guess I've been a loner all my life. I'm polite and I took that as being nice. I'm not so much of a flirt now I'm 54 and burnt out . I knew how to get what I wanted very early on when I had the bobbies big ones in school before anyone. It just grew from there . Anything for attention. I can pick other girls out that are Histrionic right away . I herd they were taking it out H.P.D. of the D.S.M. I don't think they should I'm so happy ( I think ) your talking about it. I thought maybe Borderline but no . Thank you so much

I am amazed at your unsurpassed brilliance and awareness. I am confused by it a bit though. I don't understand the logic that if narcissism is a defense mechanism and a partner makes it worse by kindness, why do they need to up their defenses and be more malignant. What is their perceived threat? Thanks for any help. BTW your videos have literally saved many life

[@valsedonia]

I had the misfortune of inviting my childless, feeble aunt to live out her life with my husband and myself (no, I was not in her will) because she had helped us out financially when we were a young couple after she was showing signs of failing health. It was the worst mistake of my life not realizing that she was a narc. I always knew that she had “issues” but didn’t know how much they would be ramped up by her loss of control.

[@valsedonia]

jennifer blocker OMG, you have my complete sympathy for trying to do the right thing! I was my aunt’s P.O.A. and after 4 months of being her ill treated slave I was ready for the looney bin. My problem was that I was so well trained from childhood to never respond to her in a nasty way no matter how much she provoked me and this had me on edge waiting for her next remark and they kept getting worse because she *wanted* me to break down. She was on hospice though she wasn’t suffering from any terminal illness and I was thankful for that because they sent out a social worker every 3 weeks to check on us..both of us. I got to the point where I was nearing a nervous breakdown...my face twitched constantly in 4 different spots and I cried at the drop of a hat. I was even fantasizing about suicide and when I mentioned that she knew that the arrangement just wasn’t going to work. She talked to her and got her to agree that she needed more care and socializing than I could provide for her and made it seem that moving to assisted living would benefit HER not me and it worked. The first facility I moved her to she had me move her out in two weeks..but after moving her into a beautiful, brand new facility the second time...she also wanted out of that, but no dice. She wanted to go back to her home state and impose on her friends and have them take care of her, but I told her that I wouldn’t help her with that. She had her address book with her and she was free to write them and if they were willing to, fine, but I wasn’t going to be a part of it. This is when she started going into full blown dementia and became very hostile towards me saying that I wanted her dead so that I could contest her will! It got to the point where I stopped visiting her because all she did was verbally attack me. She died 8 months later. I hope you have another option available if things start to get out of control the way they did for me. Don’t listen to her friends or let them put a guilt trip on you. She no doubt wears a mask for them that she takes off only for her nearest and dearest (you). They have no idea what she’s putting you through.

[@lookingforrealanswers120]

I'm at a loss. For the past year and a half I have been listening to video's to help me recover from narcissistic abuse at the hands of my ex-wife and her (self admitting) narcissistic father. This collapsed narcissist you described sounds so much like me at the moment. My ex and her father excluded me, belittled me, kept me walking on egg shells for 15 years. I left the marriage after catching her cheating on me for the third time. I always felt invalidated and learned to keep quiet when my feelings were hurt. My opinion and feelings were only ever valued when they aligned with her or his already premanifested notions. If they didn't align with hers, I was called stupid, ignored, given the silent treatment and treated poorly until I could come up with a more acceptable "opinion" or solution, or until she felt that my punishment for differing from hers was sufficient. In fact, throughout the years, anybody who didn't present an agreement with their values or opinions were cast as "stupid" or "crazy." Is it possible that I was so beat down, devalued, mocked, ignored, and scapegoated that I am simply a victim of narcissistic abuse who happens to be manifesting these traits of a collapsed narcissist?

Honestly I'm so sad after seeing this video. I just ended a 3 or 4 month fling with a coworker that I knew from the jump was a little off. Im at good looking, 28yr old high status guy at work with a large social circle, plenty of money and no kids. I had a couple other girls I was sleeping with but this girl was a good looking 36yr old single mom and was entertaining and fun to hang out and hook up with so I spent a decent amount of time with her. The minute I expressed any feelings at all for her she started pushing me away slowly, eventually she basically forced me to stop talking to her. She began unsuccessfully trying to make me jealous and hostile. She tried to triangulate me with my friends at work but they all turned her down. She then tried to make me feel bad for her. A month after we stopped talking she appeared physically ill and depressed, no longer her vibrant self, facebook posts about her broken heart, she left our work and got a different job and I know she's just sitting at home smoking weed by herself miserable and insecure. I just don't understand how the girl I cared about pushed me away so that she could feel bad for herself and sit at home and be miserable. It honestly makes me very sad for her. She was a really sweet girl at first.

[@nataliakorwin2679]

First of all many thanks and great respect for your ongoing, extremly important work. I was wondering if the histrionic personality was maybe female version of a narcissism rather than psychopathy. Once you said that psychopaths didn't need supply from other people. Histrionics are on the contrary addicted to other humans and they attention. On the other hand - my friend who probably suffers from hpd gets some pleasure from revenge. She goes 'no contact' for some time to punish somebody for not answering the phone immediately. (sorry for my english)

Strange question, if/when one has gotten CPTSD from haviing been in a NPD-relationship,? One could heal from it? But if one gets NPD by beiing traumatized in early youth wich is also a form of ptsd, one can NOT heal? For people with NPD cannot heal, is what people say.... I do understand there are imprinting windows in certain times and periods in developement of a childs brain , fases that dont come back later that could play part. But usually children being raised by a parent with NPD get traumatized and so triggered into Borderline or NPD too, or just develope into having a low self esteem and have a high pleasing nature together with a higher acceptance of others crossing their boundairies?.Because they grew up with that behaviour being normal ..... These children tend to accept partners who cross boundaries too , so are more likely to date people with NPD and yet again become traumatized again. To me its seems difficult. It is actually a chain reaction almost culturally passed on from generation to generation. Then there is the genetic motoric cause , E.G, the amygdala working poorly the part of empathy not working correctly. Again i am sorry to be a liitle off subject, i got thinking about "actually NPD stemming from PTSD... They Cause it, and were created by it. What does it make a person having experienced both triggers in early life and as an adult? And where is the discrepancy between PTSD from trauma in adult life, en PTSD from trauma early life? And if the latter influenced choices for NPD partners in adult life? Are all children raised by Cluster B personalities Narcsissists or borderliners? Isn't there a third outcome? And IF all children from NPPD's have these disorders and were more likely to get traumatised again because of poor partner choices? Wouldnt most victims of NPD-abuse havep roblems being empathic themselves? If all these theories were put together one could almost think that this must be the case... But i do believe there is a third form of disorder that can result into an individual that has low esteem, but has a lot of empathy. Is there a third kind of individual stemming from early trauma ?

Hi Sam, The best video I've ever seen from you; not to say that they're not all worth watching. I have a question. What are your opinions on certain drugs? I don't mean about why people take them, however you may think that this is linked. What I mean is that if someone starts acting differently during or following a long period of this or that drug, then they begin to act in a manner very, very diferent than they previously did, is this really applicable to the sets of characterisitics that you might apply to that person? I used to be of the opinion that drugs were more an excuse to behave badly for some people, with the caveat that for instance whilst drunk someone might see something as threat, be violent, then the next day they'll be sorry as they didn't read it correctly due to being intoxicated. I'm not talking about that. My specific focus is on over the counter opiate abuse, as on more than one occasion now I see it totally change people, making them behave in manners which would be totally out of the question previously*. (*I do not speak about someone stealing all of a sudden as they are desperate for a fix.) I suppose (generally early life) trauma is what creates all of these conditions in the current way of thinking, but are outside physical stimuli the same or are they---being removable---in a different category. I appologise for my lack of dexterity here, but are they a factor which make such analysis void (i.e. inapplicable) by your way of thinking? Again. The start of this video was very well put. I hope your life's going well, Tom

Medication and narcissism vaksam.tripod.com/faq70.html Pathological narcissism is a reaction to prolonged abuse and trauma in early childhood or early adolescence. The source of the abuse or trauma is immaterial - the perpetrators could be parents, teachers, other adults, or peers. Pampering, smothering, spoiling, and "engulfing" the child are also forms of abuse - see these: vaksam.tripod.com/narcissismglance.html vaksam.tripod.com/npdglance.html vaksam.tripod.com/journal42.html metapsychology.mentalhelp.net/poc/view_doc.php?type=de&id=419 Narcissistic and psychopathic parents and their children - click on the links: groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/NARCISSISTIC-PERSONALITY-DISORDER/kA1vtsqWAiI The Genetic Underpinnings of Narcissism vaksam.tripod.com/journal43.html

the collapsed histrionic is routinely used by the narcissist and like flies attracted to shit, the moment the histrionic shows signs of genuine recovery and is about to take flight, she is reduced into the collpased histrionic by the jealous and controlling narcissist and no they dont have to be a 'relationship' for that to happen there is nothing that a narcissist can't stand more, okay he totally hates this: women who are SUPPOSED to be histrionics and collapsed histrionics by his estimation. if she found out how not to be one....he will turn her into one histronic is 100% caused by misogyny 100%

the narcissist creates damnsels in distress (histrionics) to boost his need to be seen as a hero and better than her

Thank you for these videos. They are very helpful through the healing process and understanding. I noticed some of the things you have said describe me partially and I am having a hard time with this...I am a victim but I'm not wanting to allow myself to be a victim. I am surrounded by narcissists who have been in fact severely abused by another narcissist who is abusing me also. Some of these people are being used and are easily manipulated and influenced and to be honest, I am afraid of letting my guard down when I am around them. To cut contact totally with them is more dangerous because of what they proved to me what they are capable of. ..."Keeping friends close but enemies closer" seems to be true in my case. Does that make me a narcissist too ?

No introduction in the start of the video made me think the voice is gone xD

Is it possible to be a histrionic, inverted narcissist, and borderline? lol!

[@DeanRendar]

Welp, that's humbling. Good to know about the ugly side of hyper vigilance before it turns you into a spectacle once more, as to modify and be mindful to keep it in check. But I still don't want to pedestal people simply for being eligible to know me any more. The whole thing smacks of desperate frantic energy and that always gets picked up on by a parasitic user of people who doesn't appreciate it while it exists. That's growing up and exhibiting self respect in a world that read your backlogged history and still assume you haven't matured beyond friendship glory boasting.

Wow! What a concept! The collapsed narcissist! I suppose the definition of a narcissist is basically, someone who wasn't educated to meet the world. Some sensitive people need more education than others. And if they come to their own wrong conclusions, and are not educated to meet the world, they then develope narcissism.
