When I told my ex-partner that I wanted to get to know him better and that growing together would get uncomfortable, he shifted immediately into someone pushing me away and showing all the behaviour which I shared with him in an earlier stage I wouldn’t tolerate in previous relationships. It was the sign for me to walk away and not put any effort in the relationship anymore, he never contacted me after that. 👍

If it’s a pattern in your relationships it is probably you not them.

My second husband was just like this He was frightened but accused me of all kinds of things While not being able to work because he had to watch my every move! I wasn’t allowed to lock the bathroom door I wasn’t allowed to speak to anyone It was 5 years of hellish marriage

Shocking how well Professor Vaknin knows the narcissist. His descriptors are uncannily precise. Destroyed intimacy totale.. Absolute nothingness is what lies beyond the vast long-winded desert of grandiosity.

Can someone have this after nacisistic abuse?

Most definitely. They want to infect you with their disorder.

You are intelligent and have a great sense of humor. You make me laugh I love it 🤗💯 thanks for educating me on what I’ve been up against for years. I will continue to listen. Thank you so much, you have no idea how much I need to hear, learn and understand. How do we protect ourselves? Detach in our souls? But not from our souls? I’m stuck

She always looked at me with suspicious eyes. Like what I said would pass a filter in her mind and would be accepted or not.

Yes, they are. This has been my experience with a true narcissist ( dead mother complex). He even covers up the camera section of his laptop with double-sided tape. Both him and his brother avoid their mother, and they both have anger issues. Also, the disordered person confessed to me that he likes no intimacy and no commitment after 20 + years together. Whenever he became too much , I ran back to my mother.

It’s truly amazing how fragile prof Vaknin’s ego is
@dominusbalial8355 ай бұрын
Well he does have Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I think you probably left this comment though because your own ego is fragile and Vaknin bruised it by relaying useful information about human psychology. Which probably means the useful psychological information that hurt your feelings actually applies to you and that's why you had a neurotic reaction too it.

Hi Dr. Vaknin, would you say schizoids experience something similar? Thank you for all you do.

No.

Many thanks for this.. Very interesting, and very helpful.. I have a lived experience of this phenomenon ( as a partner of). I have a question though, regarding children of the person afflicted with what I'm going to call "The Wound". While I witnessed all the behaviours you've described in the Narc / Paranoid Ideation behavioural model, it was always directed towards friends, partners, neighbours, parents, brothers and sisters of "The Wounded". I never saw any sign of the behaviours directed towards the children of that person. Does parental love / bond as some sort of salve or anaesthetic to the effects of The Wound?

Watch the From Child to Narcissist playlist. Narcissists definitely target their children in various ways (as sources of supply, competitors, enemies, etc.). No exception.
