Dear Danish, I'm divorced since 2018 it was hell since 1998. And I was so stupid to let my ex in the house all 5years of divorce he almost left me last year for another woman, she couldn't stay with him so stayed with me Instead and I took him back. Now living in spain, I'm Dutch and I'm trapped. No income. My job should start soon after training a remote online job. I'm very afraid to not get detached from him to leave. How,must I deal with his evil demotivational behavior against me? He wants,me to fail ofcourse. I hope you have a video about it cause I don't know you for long. I need advice to break free. Thank you for your love and your wisdom to us victims. Thank you ❤🙏

The narcissist I was with literally took over my life. I later realized he was not so much attracted to me as to my life. I had a great friend circle, was happy, lived in a nice house in a good community, had a close family. He moved in and took over my home, a friend group I had, mesmerized members of my family, including my mother. I became secondary to him. Eventually I moved out and left that life to him. He moved onto a new victim.

This is crazy, I painted furniture and was a certified Kitchen and Bath Designer, I have a lifetime membership I achieved. My mother was only proud of me when she could take the lime light. Pretty soon I had people telling me she was such a talented furniture artist and the Kitchen she designed was amazing. Ummmm, I felt paralyzed to correct people. My daughter asked her why she would take credit, for something I did. All hell broke loose. I was kicked out of a family home, and I was actually severely disabled at the time. All for confronting her falsehoods, and it took me 45 years to figure out she wasn't normal. Then she proceeded to interject herself in my "new life". I finally learned to cut her off. I have severely deep issues of self worth, doubt, and nagging recollections of my mind racing due to years of narcissism, attacks on appearance, physical and mental abuse. She denies everything. I am basically a recluse now to protect myself from people. I only trust my daughter.

My brother was this kind of narcissist. He would keep talking until he got me angry and then would say things like " I got your mind"; he would read my journals to the point that I stopped writing them, he would open my letters, he would do things and then claim it didn't happen or that he never said it. He made me feel bad for being an " emotional bookkeeper" , meaning it got to the point that I wrote EVERYTHING down on paper and kept it hidden... day, time, etc of things he did... just so I KNOW that I'm not the crazy one.

[@JH-td4mn]

Yes everything is about control for the Narcissist. I started to wake up to this when he was devaluing me constantly - barely making time for our relationship but trying to hijack time I'd planned to spend with friends and persuade me to spend it with him instead. He even tried to persuade me to go from full time work to part time so we could have some child free time together. He would never even take a day's leave to spend time with me, just lie to his manager and take a sick day. That was the last straw for me. He would have had me impoverished to prove my loyalty to him. What a sicko.

[@jubyjacob9669]

I remember the times too when my narc husband made me resign my job and drive him around to his train station and buy and cook food for him and do all the chores at home single handedly while he was " working hard" with his friends and colleagues at the 44th floor of the most expensive restaurant in London eating and dancing along with them late night. Only that he would come home to accuse me what a trash wife and mother I was.

My Mom was at the end of her life. She came home from the hospital and had develeoped Stockholm syndrome, wanting to be with the narc Dad. I think she knew she was dying and wanted to spend the last days close to him. When her time came, she crawled out of bed to sit up on the floor to breathe. Narc came in and saw her, knew she was dying, and never lifted a finger to call 911. Demonic is right.

The clarity of this explanation is liberating. It is so hard to explain to people what narcissistic abuse is like, or to even understand what you've experienced when someone constantly tells you that you simply have different communication styles.

They are emotionally under-developed by choice. No pity! No self-sacrifice! Karma is gonna be a real bitch for these people, and if you don't get out of the way and elevate yourself, karmic lessons come your way to teach you to honor yourself. You are not here by accident. So, daily spiritual practice (journaling, meditation, yoga or exercise, and inspirational reading and videos) is your saving grace, truly.

One more analogy (from nature) that fit very well of narcissist and their victims is of Botfly larva. Botfly lay it's egg inside the body of insects which are big enough to host its larva. When the larva hatches from its egg, it releases some chemicals that completely control the host's brain. It then eats its host slowly from inside and finally after the metamorphosis, it emerges out of tge host body in it's true form and shape, leaving behind its host in the form of a shell.

You give the best analysis of these experiences of anyone else I’ve heard. I had this exact experience with my ex, it confused me so much and I thought I was a horrible person who didn’t love him enough, even though I didn’t know how to try harder. He would literally force me to stay up all night and listen to him curse me out on the phone over and over, until I felt completely brainwashed. Even though I have been no contact for almost four months now, I feel so much pain and guilt still.

[@ilovegod9008]

I'm sorry that you are going through this and I hopeful that things will get better. They already have to some degree.

[@kw6062]

Thank you 🙏 one day at a time, I feel myself healing

[@LeftTheMatrix]

A quick way of gauging whether u r in a relationship w a narc is whether u notice that your life and social circle is getting smaller or the partner celebrates and is genuinely happy for your achievements and connections.

[@mona8564]

Danish My husband is like this and me my kids are suffering. I want to leave him but not getting that courage, please advice me how.

[@keddy5627]

Pray for God to deliver you…that is what I did and 6 months later I was free!!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@cabot100]

Could you seek professional help in your area? It is a long and complicated journey.

[@MattyNelson-rs3ik]

You will not be the first or last to leave..them in the dustbowl of their making.

[@marcie3022]

The men i try to date always mirror me and act like im the crazy one while im grieving .. i choose healing and then they turn it around like im hurting their healing and choosing myself and they make me feel bad that i do .. thank you for this ❤

[@Lyrielonwind]

Don't grieve or show any emotions before them; they love it like the finest wine. You'll see it better with distance. If you are not ready to discard him, find an excuse to get away for a while if possible. Spend the least amount of time with him. It's a way to get the fog out of your thoughts. It's hard to see it if you are sharing the same space.

[@faa1412]

You have to ask yourself, why do you keep attracting those types of men

[@marcie3022]

⁠@@Lyrielonwind i block and go no contact.. thank you

[@dips1026]

Thanks a lot for this video. I was so confused and this is exactly what I needed to hear. My partner has done this damage to me. M broken.

[@ljackson3928]

This is sooooo mind blowing, I am experiencing this right now. This guy on my job is copying me, stealing my personality, its the strangest thing. They some weird ass people.

[@TanyaKatherine]

EXACTLY. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW. - The 3rd and Major Alteration. You summarized this so well.

[@jimmim3000]

What you're describing regarding the "savior complex," while torturing you, not only describes my narcissistic boomer parents, but also the evil Heebz who are doing this on a societal level.

[@juliamartin9047]

Thank you for the videos, we definitely need to educate the public

[@loverose4186]

You talked everything about Narcissist is quite right.

[@ClusterBusterClub]

I think it's called an 'introject', not 'interject'. It's a very interesting concept, also explained well by Sam Vaknin, and food for thought. Thanks for your videos, Danish!

[@jessluck6583]

That’s what I was thinking of too. Sam Vaknin “Serpent’s Voice” video on KZbin in particular, on reconnecting to your authentic voice (which, according to him, is often the quiet one) and weeding out the thoughts and words that live inside you from the Narc.

[@JustMe-uu3bh]

Danish, again, brilliant topic and explanation. besides wanting to "be" me and lying about me behind my back - complains about how she does all these things for me, blah blah when they have no idea what I experience - a lot is this current narc's fear that I will meet anyone she knows. or knew. when I have confronted a narc (just telling the truth or making a comment about the reality of their behavior, they RUN LIKE THE WIND. since they want control over everything (you) they of course do NOT want you to meet anyone who knows them outside of you. maybe by meeting me the other person would figure out they lied about me and it might expose their true nature, tarnishing their image, making them look bad, I went thru this with several narcs. my mom isolated me, tried to keep others away from me by not inviting me to family functions, etc. my roommate never introduces me to anyone and I think it's because she fears they will find out she has been lying about me. losing control over them, me, etc. thanks Danish, again, you are GREAT at this!

[@JaniceVineyard-kf6wm]

If the narcissist doesn't isolate you from what's important in your life they will involve themselves in it to destroy it from within

[@mrsshahid5117]

Thank you for ALL your advice. To me you are the most powerful and thorough adviser on healing from Narcissism

[@passinthru4788]

Thank you, Danish. You are such a blessing and helping to reveal these things. It is much needed.

[@leafyveins4985]

Going through the process of breaking the trauma bond with my mom and sister for the past six months now and it's been amazing but exhausting. They are sociopathic codependent narcissists. They always need all the attention on them, but because they do it through acts of kindness and generosity, no one else sees it but me. They want to lock me in a cage for the rest of my life. They treat me like a pet. And my mom has been so covert and subtly vulnerable that I haven't fully realized until now, when I'm 31. And now I feel like I'm in a horror movie! Yikes. But now I know I'm not the crazy one.

[@farhiaaddedadeed1836]

Correct and I can burst out crying any second but not any more because I took back my power

[@williampicton7072]

Do narcissists go to some college, to learn these tactics? Crazy making 😢

[@dakoderii4221]

It must be demons whispering in their ears. How else can narcs from different cultures, speaking different languages, over millennia, act the exact same way?🤔

[@MattyNelson-rs3ik]

It's a demon entity trait,it jumps on them.

[@faa1412]

It is very interesting how while they're different, they're also very similar. Like a narcissistic playbook.

[@milagrosmercado9536]

Yes you’re right, the more I tune in, the more I begin to understand. Yes when I was with the Narcissist, I was consumed, everything was about pleasing him forgetting myself. I got to the point where I Lost touch with myself. I could not recognize who I had become. I was a very happy and Bubbly person, some people would say the life of the party. But all that was gone through Out the yrs with My X husband, Who is the Narcissist.

[@Godsends1978]

When there is no concern moving on and staying focused on to self improve pray 🙏🏼 for them

[@PagesOfPri]

Just yesterday I was wondering, why there is this part of brain who acts like my parents like why I still have them, how do I dissolve that cell alone. How do I know who I’m cause I have been with my narcissist parents for way too long to even start to recognise my true self. And today this notification 😢 I can’t thank you enough Danish, but thank you. I’m going to take this as a sign and work on it intentionally and relearn and find myself. Thank you so much 🙏🏼 This community has given me hopes I’m not alone, confidence to heal, courage to go no contact, understand their patterns, heal my inner child, be parent to myself, I do deserve a life, I’m worthy of food clothes and shelter. I knew I did something right when I took a stand against these abuse, but one thing I’m still struggling is with my mother covert narcissist - she has been the victim her whole life, I had to protect her and it was my duty even when it was hurting me physically and emotionally. I’m going to hold to the thought I did something right when I took a stand. Thank you for your assurance guidance.

[@douglasmiller1212]

Interesting that you cover and clarify what left me puzzled in my prior relationship. Understanding these tactics, I believe, is essential to processing and moving on. Otherwise, I've found I, being affected by their word salad, take on too much of the blame. It's frustrating that my therapist doesn't see the value in decoding these experiences and wants to work on the near-PTSD aftermath of a narcissistic relationship by just processing the emotions. While that's important, it's helpful to learn from your videos as we must heal both the head and the heart to avoid making the same mistake in the future and to quickly recognize this destructive pattern of behavior... Thank you!

[@SA-ud9nf]

I cant thank you enough for thus amazing insight. Ive gone through years of this narc abuse. Ive learned about these things but youve confirmed so much more to You have been gifted with kych knowledge and wisdom. Thank you and may you be blessed for all you do. ❤️❤️❤️

[@SP-ve1zz]

Another great video brilliantly explained the subtle techniques they use in manipulation. I recalled so many memories on that! Every time I tried to explain their control over me to others, it was so hard to articulate (as they are subtle and injected over time), then even the outsiders started to tell me I was "overreacting". But I still felt a strong control over me, even if I couldn't explain. It was so invalidating! In the end I decided to keep everything myself and simply live my life in my way. I know I was mistreated and I don't need others to validate my feelings!

[@WinnieAtim-i1k]

Keep repeating and journaling positive affirmations to your mind, they literally annihilate the parasite for you and occupy bigger and bigger portions of your Subconscious mind. Its amazing, just keep hammering at this nail of journaling good, bigger and better things about yourself, and you will soon hug your own Higher self and stay FOREVER YOUNG.

[@Petra-ss6qr]

Yes ! I have been hijacked but now i know.Than'ks for helping me .Feel much better now❤. Petra❤

[@kathleenbristol6747]

This video is 100% correct with my husband narc.

[@margolane3361]

Thank you, giving small exercises to do is helping me. My shoulders aren't as tense as they usually are.

[@aparna1170]

Is there a "How to be a beast" somewhere out there that these people goto? Everything u say is word to word true in my experience.When the rest of us are trying more and more to be good, they are actually getting worse and worse and heartless and soulless

[@TwiztedHumor]

Bro I think you're perhaps the best narc abuse specialist on KZbin!

[@malizee2264]

Wow... This is such an incredible video really showing what the narc psychological abuse feels like🙏

[@amiravdic7451]

I saw that fish over the internet long ago. My narcissist abused me for 5 yrs it was on n off n I finally left for good a week ago n will try hard to keep it that way. What I find crazy is I haven’t thought of that fish at all, n RANDOMLY yest I wondered if I lost my identity cuz she hijacked my brain/mind/soul/heart/shut my mouth etc like it happened to that fish..n here u are talking about it 😮

[@lindamitchell9394]

Thank-you. Wow! You are so informative and greatly appreciated. I am in the mist of experiencing narcists abuse. I'm hip to the tricks of the abuse and I keep my distance. Trauma Bonded. Holy Cow! What a trip. With your help I see clearly. WOW!

[@kalkhan816]

They can get you to hate yourself as well, not just mistrust for yourself....

[@tubo1639]

This is so true!!!!! So accurate!! Thank you for your videos!! I removed two covert Family narcissist from my life this year.

[@carrieschance]

I am so thankful for you. I didn’t know I would ever have an explanation like this. I am starting to truly understand things. Three year later I still am unpacking the emotional brain washing and this helped me more than anything

[@meo8256]

I nevar knew abaut this thing before. But this info makes me feel so scared that narcissistic person can destroy our life.

[@brendapipkins1518]

Unfortunately, I was raised by a narc father, and married 2 narc husbands. I didn't know what was happening in my first marriage cause I was so young. I saw it more in my 2nd marriage especially the early love bombing and later telling others that they owned MY business or MY home and was trying to ruin my reputation behind my back! Just evil craziness. My 1st husband, I had enuf and divorced. The 2nd one, God took care of him. I've been single now 4yrs, but was so messed up that I'm just starting to heal. Ur lessons r really helping me heal and I am passing them on to my sons and daughters. Thank u so much and I thank God fore finding u.

[@jacquelineglitter4328]

Sounds like my X. I bought the house, paid for it, decorated it before he was in the picture but would take credit for it.
