How Narcissists Use Manipulation in Love

[@jaialaiwarrior]

Thank you so much to both of you for this interview. As someone recently discarded by a woman with mid-range NPD and an almost undeniable if vague/distant/coded level of self-awareness, watching this presentation feels very validating. The content provided by the other 4 well -known self-aware narcissists has been a lifesaver as well but since they are all male their material often feels a little less satisfying. I think it is easier for women to find supply and harder for them to emotionally confront themselves, which may explain the lopsided gender ratios among high-profile self aware narcissists, and therefore self-aware narcissists in general. Love is worth so much but at the end of the day if it's easier to wear a mask or exchange it for a new one then true vulnerability won't be possible, let alone growth. I am very grateful to Kylee for showing us that effective self-awareness and growth is possible, even for the female segment of the NPD population that gets far less media attention but is just as prevalent and important in their impact.

This chick is misdiagnosed severely. It's a fact that NPD can't be treated with conventional therapy (only cold therapy, that takes away the grandiosity and that's all). She's literally everything else in cluster B except a narcissist (she screams BPD).

37:48 sounds like her boyfriend has love addiction tendancies with the love bombing and putting a person on a pedestal.Good video.Also, in thr book "Facing Love Addiction" by Pia Mellody she writes that in our love addiction and copendancy we make the other person a higher power (putting them up on a pedastal) and try to "fix" them trying to play the role of a higher power. (A belief that I'm a god). The person you are intervening doesn't trust the therapists which is why she can't speak on certain topics. She might think the therapist is being evil or just playing games thus cant trust and also the therapist is a human so she can't fully explain her issues and will not be willing to discuss them. This would mean that she is submitting to an authority and people are not so easy to submit to any authortity. In her mind, she is the authority or her authority told her not to share these personal details with the therapists.
