4 Things a Narcissist NEVER Gets Over

[@Eric_Young2024]

What’s even more sad, is dealing with a narcissist for the first time and not knowing it. You realize something isn’t right, but you just can’t put your finger on it.

[@patom17]

True story in my case. But now that i found out what kind of person they are , it will never happen to me again. It takes years to get them out of your mind too. My narcissist dropped me after 1 year and never explained why, but went back with his ex wife who divorced him 4 years prior, after 5 years with her he came back to me and said he made a mistake . I was not very nice to him and never heard from him again. His loss,

[@lynnkliewer7201]

It’s a great lesson not everyone is like you. You think people think as you do .They also think everyone is like them everyone thinks like them It the positive mindset against the negative mindset.I was told I was the light and the other was the darkness.And I had to find my answers as did you .😊

[@beatpeace451]

When you gain awareness, that's when it all starts to make sense. They would do or say certain things that would make you pause and it's like wait awhile and then you're like, they must be going through something or having a bad day worse if they're telling you they going through stuff and you just go well that makes sense. Until it starts to become a cycle with no good change.

The worst is when one drags you through a lengthy court process based on lies and you have to pay 10s of thousands of dollars to clear your name. It’s all bad but that’s been the worst and it’s happening to my husband with his ex girlfriend who he shares a child with. It’s disgusting to witness

[@carlawaller3646]

I was a healthy woman when I met my husband. He is a covert narcissist and is kind , caring and shows compassion to everyone else. It saddens me to think I could have been fooled by such a blatant liar. If I had family support, financial independence I would have left many years ago. Because I now have pancreatic cancer, neuropathy, rheumatoid arthritis and macular degeneration Irs impossible. It’s very common for victims of narcissistic abuse to get very physically sick. I feel sorry for anyone going through this terrible abuse.

My son married a narcissist and has 2 young children with her. He has begun to see what she is - but has not figured out how to exit and still protect his children. It is gut wrenching to watch.

[@saddamdontsurf]

Its impossible to describe being abused by a narcissist , without sounding like a narcissist .

[@martinsuperville8017]

Funny

[@TheMammalu]

But it’s true! To try to explain the harm a narcissist has done you requires turning the focus onto your experience of pain and abuse at the hands of someone whose surface charisma, public charm and reputation may cause you to be disbelieved. Or that you’re exaggerating or seeking outsized attention of your own. It’s definitely tricky to navigate and may explain why the victims of a narcissist often choose to remain silent.

Oh my goodness, this is my mother to a tee!! She is 83 and still going strong being a narc. I have been abused by her my whole life (I'm 59)!! I didn't know there was a name for it until about 3 years ago. I have been working on forgiveness and it is hard!! I will forgive her (for me, not her) at the moment I am no contact for the most part. She is truly delusional and most of the family are still in her web. I did so much for her, never got credit, only telling others I am crazy. I don't care anymore I have the love of God and He takes care of me.

​@darlapeelman1610 Me too, I'm another scapegoat. This was really profound. Right now I'm going through setting the boundaries and distancing myself from my narcissist mother, and I keep hearing from my dad (they're still married) that she simply cannot handle it and cannot understand why I'm doing it. I just keep saying that if she truly loves me, she will let me go. That's the only right thing for her to do. If I regret it or if I think I've made a mistake, I'll come back to her. She's terrified because she knows I won't come back. Too bad.

So after 23 years with narcissistic husband I’m going to file for separation. For me it’s the first step I told him how devastated I am by this. I feel like the last 23 have all been a lie. He literally had no reaction. Feels NOTHING. And I think he may have a gay side as well. I’m not going to delve deeper into that because it’s just too much to deal with. Left my father last year and now my husband. My sister as well. I am proud though because I’ve raised 2 amazing young men age 18 and 13. I’ve broke the cycle with my kids and now I’ll be the FIRST woman in my family history in the last 150 years of abuse to actually stand up and change it! My great grandmother killed herself or was killed by my great grandfather. He disappeared her until I found her grave a couple of years ago. I’m terrified. I’m 56 years old. It’s taken me 40 years to get to this point. THIS channel is what has given me the knowledge I need to continue toward freedom.

This video made me think of something my mother said to me when I was newly married. When I asked about getting together with her and dad, she made a comment to me about how shouldn’t I be spending time with my family instead? It was an unnecessary dig to which I replied “aren’t you my family?” She muttered, “I guess so…” Instead of being direct about feelings, passive-aggressive comments became the norm. It was clear to me that she was feeling replaced, but the more I’m learning about narcissism, it was more about loss of supply. Incidentally, I ended up marrying a narcissistic psychopath, which was well masked at the time. We’ve since divorced. Being an empath, narcissists are drawn to me like moths to a flame. As I’ve aged, I’ve learned the importance of boundaries and no longer feel badly about enforcing them.

[@Thandiwe.]

There is so much power in learning about narcs tactics. What I have learned ( over a lifetime of pain) is that they have weak egos and live for external sources of admiration to feed their empty shells. And they hate anyone who values themselves ( just as a human being). I have learned to pity narcs and never try to educate or fix them. It’s about educating myself, and healing, and treating myself with dignity .

My brother and mother! I have two uncles I still talk to on that side, a couple cousins and my niece. Otherwise, I just stopped engaging with the rest. No more family functions and I’m not scared of blatantly refusing invites even if it may be perceived as rude. It was actually a blessing to me when I realized my mother has been sh*t talking me to them my whole life…at least to the other narcissists. I didn’t understand the venomous hate (especially from the aunts) and would try so hard to prove to everyone that I wasn’t a terrible person. I didn’t understand what I ever did to them so would always try to engage and attend everything. Then I realized what was going on and that they were going to hate me no matter what I did. So, I figured, why even try anymore? It not only freed me from the unwanted obligations but also the worry about appeasing my family. The best part was that it took even MORE power away from the narcissist because she can no longer control me through them. What a blessings! The knowledge has changed and saved my life! 🙏

Yeah. This is why many people go no contact, because being the scapegoat who balances out a dysfunctional family by living in that role,is the sole reason that they want you around, because they benefit from it. The last thing they want is for the scapegoat to catch on, or Heaven forbid- you are able to get past and fix all the things you are criticized for. If you succeed in life in spite of them, they just can't stand it. Then they either clamp down on you to reinforce the role, or close ranks and reject you. They dangle the carrot of maybe being willing to change a few things here and there, but it never lasts. Because the family system is toxic, and it feeds their need for drama. The best thing one can do is leave them, go away to heal, and then find good friends,to replace that crappy family with.😊

She has fully succeeded and not only won't they talk to me but they believe the most ridiculous things that could be disproven by a moment's thought about what has actually taken place in our lives. They don't have to take my word for any of it (and I don't ask them to - I've always explicitly taught them to decide things based on reality and not what anyone says, including me). A blatant example of a narc not being able to accept a change, nor to introspect about it.

My daughter was with a narcissistic man. She's dead now. He drove her to her death. This is very, very serious

[@MrsM222]

I am 56 years old and about 20 I realized my narcissist mother was making me physically ill. I had headaches for a long time then made a connection with when I would talk to her on the phone or deal with her in person. I realized she was making me physically sick. That's when I slowly started controlling how and when we had contact and setting boundaries. She recognized immediately that things had changed which goes to show how much control they have over every aspect of your life that you don't even realize they have. It didn't go over well and she would guilt me and complain about how neglectful I was to my own mother. Yes the same mother that was supposed to be a protector to her child and not selfishly cause her stress or sadness. But there we were. And I realized when I tried to go back to being my old self it would be the same pattern repeated. Everything would be good for a minute then some inevitable conflict would arise. Some issue she would start. Something that would turn into an argument. I realized the way I was trying to be was the right path. Going low contact was my salvation. It lessened my stress and me feeling ill just thinking about her or just at the prospect of talking to her was lessoned. Back then I didn't know about narcissism. There weren't videos online and it wasn't the Hot topic that it is now. I only learned about the narcissistic aspect of my relationship with her about 3 years ago. Things became even clearer. Knowledge is power. You must create boundaries on your terms and do whatever you need to do to help yourself emotionally and physically. You will back slide and fall into old patterns because who doesn't want to love their mother and give in hoping things will be different. But they won't. You will learn to trust yourself and respect and love yourself first. And you will be calm and peaceful about it. You will learn to not go back and forth with them. You will learn the power of ignoring them. You will learn the power of silence. Your heart mind and soul will feel difference. It is worth it.

[@charlottepeukert9095]

You should not forget, however, that the narcissist is not always a pretender.They may not have your best interest at heart, but more often than not, their grandiose self and their ambition has taken them to big wins in life. Not every narcissist is lazy. And as they are not bothered with self-doubt, they can easily overcome obstacels that makes it hard for a normal person to succeed. Therefore, even persons outside the family find it hard to understand, why a child turns his back on the narcissist. After all, from the outside the narcissist does care- though not about the child - but about the public image of their family. After all, it's supposed to be a reflection of themselves.

[@rickramos1292]

The loss of self-esteem and self-confidence due to narc abuse is so deep that one could be fully aware that their loved one is a narcissist and still be completely flabbergasted and in complete shock and in deep emotional pain when they are abandoned suddenly by them. I always knew my narcissist could suddenly abandon me if I dared challenge him but we never believe it would happen to us and we think we can talk them out of it. Nope. Mine suddenly abandoned our friendship of 15 years because I finally stood up to him. I admit, having all of that emotion build up in me and then finally releasing it all and then being unable to express it to him because he completely ignored me callously is one of the most devastating and conflicting things a victim of this abuse can go through. It's like you finally have courage and power but it all fizzles away because you no longer even exist and you can't believe they were actually capable of disposing of you like yesterday's newspaper because you could never do the same to them, even as they abuse you without mercy. Those 15 years meant something to me and it's never a nice feeling knowing it meant absolutely NOTHING to them.

[@seanmurphy1614]

I suffered under a narcissistic wife for eleven years. I believe that without doubt it was a major contributory factor to my developing cancer. One cannot live under so much stress and consistent deliberately-manufactured trauma without consequences. However, I'm well out of it now, cancer free, and have a beautiful and loving partner. I will not allow my new relationship to be contaminated by her toxicity in any way whatsoever. I know it hurts my ex to see me independent, happy, and in a loving relationship with another, but I couldn't care less about her. It took a further five years to regain my life. One thing I will add though is that suffering awakens the inner soul; awakened people, without exception, set down boundaries. My ex, and any other potential narcissist that tries to cross them, are out of my life permanently, without explanation. A narcissist will NEVER change, much as you try. Ironically when stuck in it one cannot see the wood for the trees and now having escaped I have 20/20 vision, albeit in the rear-view mirror.

I find it crazy how a narcissistic person comes into your life, you challenge or question them about their wrongdoings, and then they suddenly turn on you. It's like they have a delusional "lens" they see the world through ( interpreting everything with false negative beliefs ), and they believe it to be real. So until you come along and challenge these delusions, they fester and keep growing. So instead of owning up to anything or having accountability / responsibility, they paint you as the "villain" and run away.

Thank you so much for clearly stating what I could not put into words. It’s astonishing how the narcissist can take any situation and blame someone else rather than reflecting on what they said or did, because they are always the victim. I finally reached my breaking point with my Mom and exploded on her, told her off and gave example after example of how she had used me, lied about me to others, lied to me and all she could do was pretend to cry. I noticed not a tear was coming from her eyes and told her to stop pretending she was hurt, then she instantly changed, gritted her teeth and glared at me. Then I told her, well now I see the real you coming through, no heart, no soul, only empty inside. She never had control over me after that, she passed away a few years ago, alone and without a friend in the world. I have been able to restore my relationship with my only sibling since her passing, because we finally began to talk about the trauma and abuse we shared at our Mother’s controlling and manipulating ways. We have both forgiven each other for believing the lies our Mother told us and we continue to grow closer and spend time together. We are in our 60’s now and I don’t know how many years we have left but I’m thankful everyday for our relationship, we love and support one another and it’s truly a miracle we came together again.

In my experience, independence came with three simultaneous factors: relentless vicious abuse (particularly character attacks and degradation), demands for unconditional submission (with open dictates that I am property they own and open insistence that I do not have have basic human rights), and endless howling about being the victim. I was told my life is not mine but belongs to them, that they always come first above my wife and that her and my relationship belongs to them, that whatever I want automatically doesn't matter, that my doctorate is really his and I was just the vehicle for it, and that nobody could ever stand to be around me, among many others. The thing that always amazed me the most was the lack of any grasp of the causal relationship between being hit, hounded and screamed at with abuse and choosing to not be around them.

There is nothing wrong with my feelings my expression of my feelings or my thought process. I'm so excited I can't stop saying that I'm nothing like that in my family and it's okay. It is perfectly fine. I actually like the fact that nothing in my house matches and I make the best spaghetti if no one else think so there will be more for me later.

You are not alone and you got where you are in life most likely because of hard work.

Try to "grey rock" her at the very least; by this I mean give no emotional feedback whatsoever, not positive or negative. Just be dull and boring, like a grey rock. Barely communicate with her and only when necessary. Give short, uninteresting answers and do not divulge any personal info. Look up grey rocking and you will understand it, if I have not explained it well. Hopefully she will be uninterested in you and move along to another "target".

Amazing insights into narcissism. I was raised by a narcissistic mother and her enabling husband. I was the youngest of 3 brothers. My sister, who was 4 years behind me, was largely ignored by my mother, who went on searching for her narcissistic power outside of the family. She founded a church, and was called a "saint" by the pastor of 25 years at her memorial service. She was the opposite - the devil incarnate. I am INFJ, an empath, and susceptible to narcissistic abuse. But, let's face it, we all were. No one gets home free after a narcissist upbringing. When I come in contact with a narcissist, they immediately sense my empathy and begin to use it. They are always terribly disappointed when I recognize them and call them out. My girlfriend asks why I bother to call them out. I guess I just hate narcissists and would like them to disappear from the world.

You hit the nail on the head with this video. Every word you said went right the to core of my experience with my ex husband of 17 years. After 17 years, all of the above occured after finally getting the courage to report his abuse and threats to take my life in front of our children. He was arrested and didn't return home. His response? Turned my older son against me and coached him to become abusive towards me verbally and physically. My son assaulted me. Then he plotted revenge using my son as leverage to concoct a story to the police, had me arrested based on lies all to use this to gain custody of our youngest son and try to convince the courts i was he crazy one. He always threatened he would take the boys away from me and wished me homeless or dead. I always knew he had an inflated sense of self importance and it felt as though the world revolved around his needs only. The word narcissist only came up after all this happened and I previously believed he was either bipolar or had some serious mood problems. I felt sorry for him and tried to help him. He even made contact with everyone who knew me spreading bs about me in order to convince them to write him letters to support him in court. I don't know how I can begin to heal from the trauma he caused me and my sons. I haven't seen my eldest son in two years after he lied to the police and told them i burned and assaulted him. He was using my son and the system to do me harm and i was left with no choice but to kick him out of the house to live with his father. The pain of losing my son is so great i can't begin to describe it as i don't know what the future holds for us. All i can do is pray.

The grandiosity is one of the things I don’t think I will ever understand. What is it based on?Not much as far as I can see. I’d watch his expression as he raged, saying the most self-inflated, egotistical things and be baffled. He really seemed to believe what he was saying. Only being able to see your own worst qualities is equally bad. That’s not healthy. Being able to see your own good qualities and your bad ones and trying to do better is the goal. We all fail sometimes, we’re human but I think that’s what separates narcissists from the rest of us. I’m still in the thick of things but trying to understand the damage they’ve caused and to get better. This channel has shown me so many things. I’m very grateful Danish. Thank you.

[@elliesimpson1313]

You hit so many issues on the head. Thank you! I was blessed to have a self sacrificing mother. She urged me to get out on my own and follow my dreams and get out of the control of my father. I raised my 3 adult children to also pick their lives' work and also follow their dreams. I thank my mom for that. I have the best relationship with them Roddy. I'm honored to be invited into their world and I don't push. Mutual respect

[@YBFONY]

Thank you 🙏🏿 this was so clear I now know what the road is going to be like ahead and I need to protect my energy @ all cost because he’s gonna try to drag me thru the mud to protect his character

Yes. I would have been the child who told the emperor he had no clothes.

My Narcissistic sister is a therapist. She has an endless supply of gratitude and adoration!

[@tessicaevans1514]

Danish, I feel for you coming from a family this way. I was attached to a family this way for 7 years. I was mearly confused, always trying to equal or impress, however I was always talked about and shunned, even by him. You see, his mother left his family 3 times for someone new. He was abandoned and therefore made himself impentrable by others. BY others I mean me. The brick wall was absolutly impenatable due to his ex wife of 19 years and by his mother. He never let me in and yet I blamed myself. When questioned I was stonewalled. I was talking to a brickwall. He never apoligized and was not comforting when I cried. Thank you for posting these as they've helped tremendously!! As I have a hard time seeking help.

[@dianeeynon5554]

I resonate with all you have said, and have done so for a long time, but I know what I am dealing with and find it quite intriguing how narcissistic personalities can be so vein and prepared to quietly use others and a variety of ways to destroy the person who does not submit into massaging their need to be ‘the superior, and only right human being’. I tend to see it as ‘fur coat, no knickers’ lots on show to gain praise, but put to the test there is no love, care, empathy, respect at all for others, no matter what status they have in their daily lives. Sad thing is one day, they will be found out and won’t be able to handle it.

[@kellysandblom6508]

Thank you for sharing and becoming a specialist to help others. I appreciate you. ❤️ I have found a similar person to help me with my triggers, the constant hate there was felt for me, that feeling stemming from my narcissistic mother, and I’m on the road to healing, since 2016. I have come a long way, but still have a long way to go, and I’m not stopping. Thank you so much, for helping others. I spent 34 years of my life, not knowing what was happening, knew something was off about my mom, but couldn’t figure it out. “Married my mother”, my now ex-husband is a narcissist too. I keep saying, I wish I went to counseling sooner, but I also feel things happen for a reason and at the time they are meant to. Thank you for helping to heal. I’m sorry you have two narcissistic parents, I’m sorry for what you have gone through. But thank you for rising above, healing, and for helping others. ❤️🙏

[@sherirobinson7824]

I’m dealing with my narcissistic sister. Our parents are both now gone (within the last 2 1/2 years)and she was daddy’s little princess. Dad was a narcissist as well. Growing up, Dad would insult me on everything I was good at; dancing, writing and playing a musical instrument. Now I understand that he was not able to control my choices, nor me! Thank you!

[@goldenautumn3073]

Narcs are JEALOUS of people who have anything they don't. That's part of the reasons they hate and try to destroy others.

[@tanyadehaven2779]

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm so sorry for what you went through. I know first hand what this is like. My mother is a narcissist. When I finally had enough and went no contact, she and then my father decided to begin the smear contact to virtually everyone I knew. It was pretty unbearable. So hard to move forward.

[@flowerfarmerscott]

I'm so glad I stumbled onto you, Danish! My malignant narcissist next door neighbor built an outdoor commercial shooting range right on my property line. After a year of forcing us inside when they fired hundreds of rounds of semi-automatic weapon fire, one of their instructors fired a pistol behind my back, injuring my hearing. So I sued my neighbor. At the first hearing in the case, I used the phrase "pattern of unlawful behavior" referring to her actions right in front of her to the judge. You would have thought I had kicked her dog. She was LIVID for the rest of the hearing and all the way out the door.

[@gregorythompson2763]

Wow! Its like listening to my life with my Father and Sister, Both narcissists, I had no idea what was wrong with them until i recently discovered discussions around narcissistic behavior in family members and people you are generally in proximity to. Im relieved to finally know what the problem is but distraught at the daunting task of removing a person I love from my life. My sister has been trying to destroy my life for years now, and now I know why!

[@PicklesC.Wolverton73]

I feel this so deeply and as painful as it is to be a survivor of narcissistic abuse. It's saddens me. Actually I want to know why I feel sad still about it because regardless they're still people that we love and care about. I don't know. I just I just feel it in my gut. It just makes you don't cry. I don't ever want anybody feel like that no matter what. Thank you so much for all the information that you share. It's definitely helpful and you are blessing.

[@rebeccamay6420]

This video has helped me understand a large part of my past experiences. # 3 was something i hadn't connected before, and it makes sense now. And I have seen # 4 happen time and again. As i continue to heal from my past, i am becoming less reactive or defensive and more calm when faced with confrontation. It's not about me. Their actions and reactions are all self-centered and sometimes self-sabotaging. I'll keep working on improving my own mental health, and hope that they will recognize that they too need to heal, process those uncomfortable emotions, get over it, and let it go.

[@grammymosborn9501]

I don't know if you, sir, actually read these comments, I would like to comment on how illuminating your videos are. I'm 54 and now realize the abuse I've suffered is actually my mother is a narcissistic I now see how I have not been able to get out of repeating lifelong habits of attracting narcissistic partners and friends. Thank you. I pray that I can stop this and truly be me.

[@Cat-oj4oz]

My grey-rock letters to n-mom (and my brothers who still live there) have slowed down considerably and never include the greeting, "Dear Mom" or end with "Love"... I simply can't write these things, because they would be a lie...she has noticed this and has remarked at how much she feels unloved. Ironically, your video came up today and addressed that very issue...the timing is perfection...thank you!

[@rcomyns4664]

Im being stalked and threatened by a former airb guest who is angry that I wouldn't rent to him long-term. All the points you made describe this awful man. He is getting scary but i refuse to live in fear, nor have i acknowledged his messages even once. I'm hoping he'll find a new source soon, as reporting him has not helped at all. Thanks for your video! It confirms he's a full on narc.

[@susannahfox7188]

Does anyone else struggle with a ton of anger? What is the strategy for dealing with this? I am tired of yelling at people. I have done therapy until the cows come home, I'm done with that approach. I am especially triggered by alcoholics, as was my narc mom. And don't suggest ACOA, either.

[@w8what575]

Take martial arts…it helps direct that anger into motivation and self discipline to be able to rise above the low frequency of narc abuse and the anger it bottles up inside…and it just feels good to be able to beat the hell out of something so efficiently..lol…

Only revenge will help you. Those who talk against it are cowards unable to stand up for themselves. Take revenge and your inner sense of justice will be relieved.

[@ZLLi661]

I removed myself and went no contact from the ‘crazies’ causing the anger. One cannot unsee or unhear vile verbal and non physical abuse to one’s dying mother. Yeah, I’d been grey rock for over 35 years to the main abuser then came back to help my siblings care for my dying Mum. 2 other sibling narcs showed their ‘true ugly’ once again as soon as Mum was ‘out if the house for good’ (died), one targeting every member of my own family because that evil pos was never held accountable for the violence and abuse growing up so she thinks she can do it to my own kids. She has no relevance in my life now, and forever. My anger was through the roof. Frequent Hard core physical exercise helped me become more calm. 2 years no contact and I still do kickboxing when I can. Or hiking. Meditation I also have started and will do daily to help calm myself. I still get intrusive thoughts of these vile creatures and I do get annoyed with myself that I haven’t forgotten them yet. But I’m impatient too. Take every day as it comes. Spend time with good people that make you feel good. I need a multi pronged approach to dealing with ridding my soul, mind and body of the residue of the poison and 💩 of their toxic existence. It’s mostly all gone 👍🏼. Learning to let go is also key. Remember, Nothing of their existence is worth holding on to as they are worthless. Keep at it.

[@emmsue1053]

Yes honey, buy a boxing punchbag! You will also have a great figure within months, another nice trigger for the Narcs. Its a winwin. LOL.

[@patriciagootgeld9273]

After draining my kindness and finances, it is good to hear that my ex-brother may have microparticles of unease and regret somewhere inside his evil soul. I am now severely allergic to narcissists and it has been good for me. They get ripped a new one if they get too close.

[@Isabela2024-yr]

Living with the narcissist isn't easy. Somehow, I managed to handle him, but not when we just got married. I didn't know he's a narcissist. As days, months, and years went by, I figured out something is wrong. Well, it's definitely something that is not right about him. I went to the web and consulted a doctor. They told me he's probably a narcissist. Bingo! They were right. I searched the web on how to handle him. I did exactly what they told me. Today, he can't throw me those crazy supplies of him again. I became smarter to corner him. I won't allow him even one bit. I exposed him to the people I knew in front of him. Of course, he doesn't like it, but I have to be relentless. Otherwise, he will continue that disgusting attitude. I warned him either he shape up or ship out.

[@Zainygreenstone]

You gotta leave him

[@shiprakapoor733]

Can you pls elaborate.. how did you do that??

[@luzoo3540]

That’s not narcism. Because you can’t control a true narcissist.

[@bfisherful]

​@@luzoo3540for a short time, you can ...if they're losing their main supply and homeostasis. They'll fake for a year or two a serve you, but you can't let your guards down for a second.

No shaping up without any accountability and God and Therapy for him. You're best to get out and definitely don't have children with him/her etc.

#2. I see a narcissist who has lost control of her adult independent child, trying frantically to control me and others in her vicinity.

[@figure9607Amy]

My family is full of narcissistic people so I thank God I was raised away from them at age 11. It took me all these years to see I kept seeking people just like them... I PRAY for EVERYONE here. For many narcissistic people actually will be in here, because they convince themselves n others that they are the victim. I PRAY for the narcissistic people too. I PRAY God intervenes in any narcissistic situations and that everyone gets help. ❤❤❤.
