[@elizabethf8078]

Narcissists occur on a spectrum of severity. It's not an on/off switch. We all have to have a low grade level of narcissism to ensure our needs get met. It is only when an emotional injury happens (or failure to grow) that this drive grows out of proportion. I know many people with varying levels -- myself included--because I was made the family scapegoat. I responded/compensated by becoming more self centered and self protective. Seeing this, I work to grow beyond this coping mechanism. Family members with this trait love me as much as they are capable of, and I've seen growth in them as I maintain healthier boundaries. Seriously.. demonizing people and pointing the finger, calling them demon possessed is extreme. Have I known such individuals? Oh yeah. I also know Jesus loves them too and isn't done with them yet. I'm leaving that type to wrestle with God without my interference. The labeling, though..and finger pointing comes across like someone who doesn't want to take responsibility or accountability. I picked my narcissistic ex. That's on me to figure out why I chose him, what I didn't recognize, and why I waited so long to bail. I don't believe in blaming and pointing the finger.. It gets in the way of maturity..and God wants me to grow up.

Four steps to unlove them : First step : Realise that you have been abused. Second step: Accept that it was not your fault, and this is the way they relate to many like you . Third step : Remember that you were always anxious, nervous, & stressed with them. Your body was rejecting the relationship and you miss what "could have" been. Forth step : Forget them ! Move on like you never knew them; Because in reality, You didn't.

I was best friends with a psychopath. I always admired how calm he was. Cool and calm. He was a nice guy. Former preacher. He always drove as fast as he could. Drove in the left lane. He faked empathy. He future-faked me all the time. He betrayed me in the end. After 12 years of friendship. I now realize that psychopaths want to see you beg. It makes them feel powerful. He did the same thing to his ex wife. He abandoned her when she was pregnant with their baby. He refused to help her. I now understand why she despises him so much. He has no conscience. He lies to everyone. He steals every chance he gets. If you meet someone who shows little emotion, watch out!

That wasn't his fault. Was he really a psychopath? His brain doesn't work as it's supposed to. Most high-profile politicians and CEO are psychopaths. It has to do with the amygdala that doesn't work. It's a physical problem that has psychological symptoms. I know this because after 51 years, I just got the diagnosis. When I was a teenager, they thought I was autistic, but they finally got me to have an MRI test, and that's what they explained to me. I also did a cognitive test called the Hare test, and both clearly shows that I have that disorder. I'm not violent but I don't have a high emotional range, I'm angry or normal. I do care about my kids and close family members. It makes me a good manager.

My covert narc mom is queen of the mind games. I've been so confused for years trying to make sense out of something I will never understand. As an adult I'm just now realizing how manipulative and a gaslighter she is. For example, she'll push me into a job but then when the job laid me off and it was a toxic company, she was like, "You should've known that was a bad company. I knew all along that wasn't going to work out." And she'll keep giving me the "I told you so." even though she didn't say a word before. She'll also tell me she's so worried about me when I go out anywhere and will call and text me. I accidentally forgot to let her know that I would be home an hour later than I said. I apologized and promised I'd make sure to let her know in future but she gave me silent treatment, refused to accept my apology, rolled her eyes and ignored me when I gave a sincere apology, and told me she didn't care if something bad did happen to me. Days later, she acted like we were best friends again. I don't get it though. How can she proclaim to be a Christian and tells me that she prays for me and wants the best for me but constantly manipulates, gaslights, and controls me?

This is not what that means b/c there is more to it than that. We have two types of judgment and the bible is cherry-picked to fit ea person's narrative. "Judge not lest ye be judged'" means that if you can dish it out - you should be able to take back someone else's judgment. It also is teaching how to not be a hypocrite: If I tell you how to work out b/c I am a fitness instructor, then I better be able to be fit too and not obese and sick. I can judge b/c I am living up to my own preaching. So if I am judging properly, I can take any criticisms b/c I know I am strong enough due to being right so I can take it. If we judge RIGHTEOUSLY we are judging in a fair way. If you know them by their fruits as scripture says, we can see who they are. We are not supposed to judge the heart but are supposed to judge the behavior. If you let someone abuse you, you should be able to judge their bad behavior to judge how you need to leave them or strategize a way around them.

Jesus never wondered how he could make evil people happy! God has so much more in mind for our lives. He's not only love & mercy, He's also truth & He is just. Jesus never let others control him but he was exactly what He needed to be toward each person he came in contact with, according to the condition of their heart and motives. He gave grace to the humble but opposed the proud. An older person once said "You would never send your child out to play with the neighborhood bully, right? So why would we do that to ourselves"?!! That's SO freeing! Jesus wants us to be free to love and trust HIM, not chase after evil doers, trying to obey their selfish whims & demands.

My parents are narcissist. They blame me for my past mistakes and proceed to gaslighting me to make me feel bad i can't communicate with them . They love to use the trigger game they don't listen they do everything that you are saying I already have anxiety. Thank you I don't want to do it anymore.

Same

[@kimberlee2809]

I feel like my narcissist doesn't realize he plays these games consciously. It's built into his personality and he isn't aware of any other way to be. He just IS.

[@Mt4evr]

That would not surprise me in the least. I hope you know that doesn't mean you need to accept his abuse

You're really good at calling it like it is and relating it to the Bible, which is very important to me. I haven't found many reliable advisors so far. Thank you for helping me understand that I was stuck in a mud up to my neck, and it was only by God's grace that I didn't end up in a mental hospital.

[@clintonnagy1662]

Amen. Going through the same right now. I'm not in the mental hospital because I've lost my mind but not my soul. Praise be to the Lord Jesus Christ. King of endless glory.

@@clintonnagy1662 you have to remember who God is, it changes everything. He is always on our side. He is already the winner... the battles we fight are supposed to toughen us up and teach us to fight like God. May God strengthen you every day 🙏❤️.

The mention of any and all past wrongs (or perceived wrongs) is spot on. Was in a relationship with a woman who had very short memory for good things, but almost unlimited memory for bad things. In disagreements, sure enough those would be dumped out, piled on, in the middle of criticising, blaming, shaming, guilt, etc. Like a multipoint attack on your spirit, soul, heart, to just crush you and beat you down so she could 'win' at all costs. This has also been called "emotional baiting" and "induced conversation." It pokes your wounds or weaknesses. Then you want to defend yourself, to set the record straight, so you get more emotional. Then they act calm, because "look, you are the crazy one, you are unstable, you are the narcissist..." This is then called "reactive abuse" where you get conditioned to react in a shorter and shorter time, till even just their look or tone of voice, or sigh of annoyance can push your button. Then they love to do that in front of another person or counselor, etc., painting you as a horrible person who is mistreating or abusing them, they are so good, you are the problem, and on and on. You doubt your own mind, memory, feelings, and are confused. Then each time it makes you more cautious to 'rock the boat' on any problem, avoid problems, avoid feelings, wants, needs, etc. because those would be criticised as well, then when you don't agree with or support her victim mindset, you are accused of being selfish, no empathy, a bad person, etc... I didn't realise a person could fake empathy, then accuse you of not having any, so you feel guilty or shamed that you are a 'bad' person... Nothing could pump her up enough, or fill that deep emptiness, there seemed to be an unnatural desire for you to validate / compliment / praise / dote on her, and she was still never happy. Then she would remind you of how you are not loving or supporting her.... or attack your mental health, your memory, self-care, etc... just depleting your very life energy, day after day.

Painful to hear, but so valuable to be reminded that the narcissist fully intended for you to experience psychic pain, and to doubt and beat up on yourself. Oh how I wish the narcissist abuser could be exposed and that justice could be done!

[@neveragain733]

The circular conversations, lies, and non stop gaslighting really damaged me.

[@manyblessings917]

You can heal from these evil acts. Take the time to peel yourself like an onion. Shed all those evil things that you have absorbed. If you are a Christian, walk with the Lord and cast your cares upon him. After you have peeld yourself bare, build yourself up with qualities that are virtuous. If you are a Christian, cloth yourself in His righteousness and know that he loves you and will establish your footsteps as you make your plans. All the best.
