[@jeremyschipp]

Better to not expose the narc directly but from a distance go the silent treatment

[@resilient8788]

You nailed it. They are their own karma. No need to expose them as it will only be flipped back (gaslite/ blameshifted). As they age, they only get worse, lose their looks, can't hold up their mask, self reflect, etc.. so they eventually end life alone. Sad, but no excuse for the abuse. Also, most people with npd also have drug or alcohol issues. It's their way of self soothing their own internal misery, which only makes it worse for others. Took me forever to get his squatter self out of my home. Even with eviction papers, he drug it out for 5 months. He won't ever hoover this woman, I'm finished.

[@PM-vd2fs]

I can't get my head round how so many people will defend the narcissist when the true victim starts telling the truth etc. All the hanger ons are literally so p***** that someone has come along and disrupted everything. They will happily be nice to you and look the other way when the narcissist does what they do but as soon as you stand up for yourself and reject the bs they will turn on you and defend the narcissit to the death. I just don't get it. It's sad. For me that made me more angry than the reaction from the narcissist as that was to be expected but how others can then turn on you for no other reason than speaking the truth (not my truth but the actual truth) I don't think I could ever stand by and watch someone being bullied repeatedly. How do these people sleep at night. Another thing I found hard was the sense of guilt I had for standing up for myself after over 15 years of abuse. My emotions went from being ultra angry at what I went through and the injustice but then would worry about what I had done by speaking up etc and actually felt guilty and still do from time to time almost 2 years later.

@@debbievoss3496 Thanks for your reply! That’s essentially what I did. It’s impossible for me to not have some kind of contact but I’m limiting it where I didn’t before. It’s been hard because of who they are and how they’re linked to me, but I’m doing it. When there is contact and they say something (now I make sure I’m never alone with them) I either counter it with the truth - which the other people present see is correct and have actually agreed with - or I walk away. The person is less likely to say something awful back or make a scene when there are others there, and it’s far better to have witnesses because there have been situations where I’ve been alone, relayed the incident to someone and they’ve not believed me. The more I do it, the easier it’s getting. I’ve also been working on not taking what they say as truth and internalising it, that’s been another big part of this whole journey!

This video is absolutely spot-on.

But the longer I was with her, the more I began to see through it, and I began to suspect I was only wanted while I fawned after her and reinforced her belief in being a victim. As soon as I tried to properly help her by showing where she was accountable in it all and also when I started to assert boundaries and expressed my needs..it all did a 360, the shaming and devaluing began, the circular arguments became routine, projection, gaslighting..and then I was discarded.. ..then surprise surprise, the hoovering began, time after time, for more than a year after the break up..pulling me in, then spitting me back out. Vying for attention, yet never showing any interest in me. Again, as soon as I stopped reacting, she disappeared.. To be treated this way by somebody who you naively thought was ‘the one’, is completely soul destroying..

He acted like he didn't like her and guess who he lived with after I left him...HIS MOTHER, lol. He would play me against her too. They are all a bunch of enablers and I'm so thankful I am NOT in the family. It was a blessing to leave them to themselves. I hate that my kids have some of the genes but then I try to celebrate whatever is good.

[@chadfletcher1681]

Their capacity of deception, dishonesty, unfaithfulness and cruelty is unbelievable, I was so nervous around my so called partner, I am a male and a lot bigger physically, but she scared me, she didn’t rage, but would get silent and have a vacant stare, I called it silent rage, I knew when this happened, I was in for big trouble, I went no contact, but she continues to harass me, even though she is cheating and being with others, but we all grow stronger, stay strong, never look back

[@amethystfeathers7324]

I was assertive and confident when I met my narc husband. I think he thought I was a competition he'd eventually win.

[@cynthiarouse]

Three words you will never hear from a narcissist (no, not those three words, these three words) : 'I was wrong' That's all... ; - )

[@brightpage1020]

People that get along well with others Or make money Are upwardly mobile Are generous Are caring Are friendly They need you but it makes them hate themselves more for it. They feel competitive and shamed by your success, therefore deeply angry or jealous toward you. You have a comfort level with joy. Like it’s part of who you are. “How could you?” They might think, offended and aspirational at the same time, without being inspired instead or challenged to improve their own attitude or status.

[@andreachinazzi7946]

you know guys...I don't care If a narcisst loves me or not the fact is...i was sooooo brave to say him: in 2 hours you have to leave the house with everything otherwise...I through everything on the trash....does he love me' I don't care ...i love my self , this is the most important thing

[@mariposa1933]

My narcissistic sister goes around telling people she is my narcissistic mothers favorite like its a prize. I’m the empath and saw this as her trying to take digs in the most public way possible in the past and was humiliated for some odd reason….but then one day I blurted out “I FEEL VERY SORRY FOR YOU IF YOU ARE HER FAVORITE. THERE IS NO FOMO”. (Fear of missing out) Pure crickets! Mic dropped! 🎤😄

Typical slander. Good indication on a narcissist.

[@kaimar83]

Do you know the reason why your sister became a narcissist?

[@lendumore]

Both of my parents are like this. Any praise from them always came with a backhanded compliment and any of my failures come with laughter, them shaming me, and gossiping about me on social media. It’s a shame because I’ve developed massive trust issues into my adult life.

[@melodygardner]

Once you trust yourself, you can open your heart and maintain boundaries at the same time. No one else can control that relationship with yourself. No external permission required, just do you. ✨

[@BobbiGail]

Wow. This just made me realize that I am glad my Covert narc mother doesn't use social media. I cant even imagine... thanks for the insight. 😮❤

[@EddieJarnowski]

One thing that helped me was acceptance. It's a lose lose situation. They will never apoligize. Stop waiting for it. It won't happen. It's hard to admit but that's just who they are. We all have these dreams in our head of them coming back and saying sorry like the movies. Well this is real life. It's impossible for them to do that. Accept it. Not in a bad way. Just accept that this is a fact. Their brain is hard wired to be the most selfish (insert adjectives here) that ever lived. Stop thinking about it, think of something else and move on.

[@lendumore]

@@EddieJarnowski That’s some tough love, Eddie but I needed to hear it just like you said it. Thanks bro 👍

[@EddieJarnowski]

@@lendumore no problem i'm glad i can help in any way. I studied it for a long time. Our bodies operate in 2 ways. Chemical and electrical. Every time our bodies exchange chemicals a very small electric charge is created. That's why we can touch a car battery of 12 volts. Our resistance is about 42 volts i think. I did a deep dive into stress and concluded that what i thought about was creating these bad chemicals in my body because our body has the ability to do that. Changing what you think about can potentially create different chemicals and actualy make you feel motivated and energetic instead of using our energy to feel terrible. It's the same amount of energy expended in the end. Those are just my findings and i like to investigate things. The paths your brain forms get easier to go down the more you think about them. Never give up the struggle. Seek and you shall find.

You simply defeat any narcissist by never ever letting them have their way. So there. Wasn't that easy?😊

[@januszdworak4780]

Well. I needed this information. I was somewhat aware of most of it, but it is always good to have someone lay it down in an organized manner. From my childhood I have been under despotic control of a close family member. My wife brought her controller to our marriage. We were both victims of our families. My controller had always a panic attack if I became successful in any way. I put everyone on edge after I emigrated to the United States. When I was waiting for the work visa for three months, I obliged my wife and children not to tell anyone. When I let both families know two days before my departure, it was like dropping a grenade in the middle of a room. They started moving with the speed of light to sabotage my plans. It was too late. :) :) :) I knew nothing about narcissism back then, but I had good male intuition and a great guardian angel that advised me to conceal my future. It is not the end of the story, but I should stop now.

[@vintage6346]

You told a great short story! My mother-in-law always sabotaged every plan I made for myself. She always found a way to "insert" herself into every occassion, meal out, or gathering. My (now ex) husband would not fix any boundaries, nor would he keep our plans secret from her. After a while... what marriage?

[@drebugsita]

Wow congratulations! Especially impressive given you didn’t know yet about narcissism. I also know I can’t share my good news/plans with my sister or mom without the risk of facing a backlash and/or sabotage. It’s sad but essential to accept it

[@mistiblu9133]

I'm convinced my partner of ten years has always hated me.. it's all making sense now!

[@conniecostello3072]

You said several things that really caused a light to shine in my head. You used the words "manipulation" and "control," as the major goals of the narcissist. And then you said that the narcissist is always saying, "Please see me as a victim." I have heard many people talk about this, but somehow suddenly I understand the person with whom I am dealing. Yes, manipulation and control are first. And he must be a victim at all times. Thank you.

Narcissistic pple r all that I’ve forever hve dealt with n hve attracted all my life. I’m convinced there aren’t good pple out there. At one point I was constantly asking myself, “what’s wrong w/me..what am I doing wrong that all betray me?”. I’m yet to meet a good person that doesn’t quietly start to compete to eventually hate n criticize me behind my back for no reason.. Meanwhile all I’ve done was support them, let them shine..encourage..give constructive help.. I’m always playing myself dwn..sadly..it doesn’t matter what I do w/in a few mths I start to feel the betrayal, passive aggressive&dismissive behavior towards me.. I c it..I don’t confront, I just cut them off & quietly walk away. Do they ever reach out to ask, “where did u go, what happen? No..they let me go.. with out a peep as if we had nothing to do w/each bcz I decided to cut them off bcz of their evil undeserved hateful behavior towards me. I don’t trust any one, I make no eye contact..or encourage any contact when I’m out on a walks w/my Poppy (my dog), I stay aloof, I stop smiling hello .. I stay stoic..I hve no trust any more.. bcz it always turns out to b a mistake, a waste of my time n care..I go it alone..I must except n not feel sad abt it..

[@sds6303]

My ex narc (who I believe also has borderline personality disorder), is a closeted gay woman and she would project her insecurities out on to me. She told me that over time she would resent me to the point of hate. She was jealous that I have a supportive family, she doesn’t, I’m comfortable with who I am & she isn’t. It’s why over time she’d make excuses for us not to get together when we used to spend a lot of time together. I would always tell her that I don’t deserve to be punished because she’s insecure. She’d refuse to get back into therapy to work on herself. She would always lie about everything. She was very aware of her behavior & how she treated me.

[@sunshinejenny5536]

Good one! I always wondered why my ex hated me! I kept thinking "I am not your enemy." But in his thinking, I was. It feels better to be away and free than to be despised for 27 years.

And if the narcs life is crummy they hate anybody whose life they perceive as better. Relative, pastor or dog, it doesn’t matter

[@BobbiGail]

7:10 this is sad... 😢 but it makes sense as to why trying harder and harder to connect or even to just not annoy them does NOT work. I never considered myself a threat. I feel small.

[@Wanda711]

The "having overcome adversity" point really resonated. My husband and I have 3 kids with autism, and for years life was very, very hard. But in the last 4 years or so, things have gotten much better. One son is in a group home and is doing wonderfully, much of the stress was lifted, we were finally able to fix the damage to our house - we were actually happy! And that coincided with an increase in constant needling by my narcissist sister, until we had a confrontation 2.5 years ago and I went no contact with her. I never realized until now that the pressure from her increased as our home situation improved, but now I think they might have been connected, even if she wasn't conscious of it either.

Dealt with 2 women at a job for many years who were like this. I was young and naive and stayed in that environment entirely too long, it ended up making me very sick. They attacked me for every single thing, one came to my doorway one day and told me she was jealous of me. Imagine being 50 something and saying that to a 20 something at your job unprovoked? Jealous of what? That I got a job and worked there same as her? I didn't know what to say. I was happy, healthy and comfortable when I started there and left sick and depressed. Women in offices can just be so extremely toxic for no reason at all, it's just a job, a way to survive.. I'm not there to cauddle adults. I just left as soon as I could.

[@SusanaXpeace2u]

Yes I'm often the one that the narc wants out of the group. But I'm not that confident, certain, boundaried person you describe! I'm a people pleaser in recovery. So, I think it's because they see my confidence isn't invincible. Theirs isn't either clearly but my approach is different. These types perceive me to be lower status than they are, so an association with them can't serve them, or reflect well on them but yet here I am *connecting* with the others in the group. That seems to trigger their ''fight'' stress response and the next thing I know I'm being edged out of a group (again).

[@justlivinglife465]

I feel like they don’t like people who are not that good at giving “supply”, if you’re quite a straightforward, non-reactive kind of person. Or maybe if they subconsciously pick up on you not liking them. It’s very hard to hide your true feelings and energy. If you find them cocky or annoying, you will let it show.

[@user-rc2xs5ti2w]

My narcissist daughter left me alone when I started to be objective and assertive. The king years stepping in egg shells are gone. I am being very confident exposing whatever in public or not. I am feeling in peace now and enjoying my life. It took a real long time to decide to put a boundary in there because I always knew that would be the end of any contact. The fact she is strong in her life now, liberated me as a mother. Life has perspective to me now.

I had a co worker that was so obvious that from the first moment it was easy to realize what he was, and he knew I knew, hated me for that. What was really strange, there was still plenty of people that actually never understood what he was, even supported him, even persons i considered smart. I guess the narcist's know whom to play, and whom is sensitive to their "charm". He almost got me fired, worst time of my life, but in the end he lost that game.

[@lannybackes1053]

As I became stronger, assertive, establishing boundaries, holding her accountable, she began to hate me. She began gaslighting our history and turning the story so that it could support her narrative. She kept a new supply on the side until the point that she could no longer handle me holding her accountable. I had overcome a lot, I had been barely able to walk for several years due to a broken vertebrae. Two major surgeries, healing, going back to work and regaining my strength and my confidence. The further I progressed the more she withdrew from me emotionally and physically. I'm also a very kind and forgiving person with high empathy, and give myself and/or my resources to others. Everything that she is not. Her response to all of it was to jump into a relationship with the new supply, made efforts to ensure that I knew they were sleeping together and did all she could to hurt me. And it did hurt... 19 years together and married for 9 with three kids. So yeah, it hurt, and it was extremely unfair. I mean why couldn't she be happy for me, or for us that I was finally healed, making money, taking care of my obligations and responsibilities? Isn't this the same reasons she used to justify her wanting to leave? I had become a burden? Of course I was, I was physically and financially dependent on her for several years until I was finally able to get healed and stand on my own. Just weird that when I stood on my own, physically and literally, she wanted to leave..but I guess that's just what a narcissist does.
