[@thetruth9652]

I wrote a book “ The Fog” It’s about narcissism. I am in the process of opening a safe haven for abuse survivors and their families with an onsite daycare. I am a daycare teacher. I had wanted to be a teacher when I was in grade school. I got on the wrong path and strayed for decades, but I survived and made it back home. I thank God everyday!!!

[@babesadams2991]

Your motivating me to write to about narcissism. I'm a travel writer. I support you and may you got the success and all the blessing🙏 for the awareness you'll spread. And I hope your hearts happy and be healed whatever you went through 🙏🤍💙 I wish to read your book

[@SylisDaGoldenPeach]

I survived extreme narcissistic abuse to the point where I began starving myself because they would put me down so much , when I’d say something nice about myself like oh I really have nice curves or I really love the dentist work I just got done , they’d always try to say oh better be careful you getting too big or your teeth still look kinda dingy you need more work done , it’s like I could never make the narcissist happy no matter how much I’d try to buy them gifts and compliment them , the moment I have to tell them something they don’t want to hear they completely will snap into a demon , I’m so glad I’m thriving now tho I know I’ll be ok .

[@TataShiku]

These creatures are very active and keen on eroding our self esteem. Take down our confidence, and all this is down for a purpose. To cage you .make you codependent on them make you hate you make you feel grounded and stuck. So glad we know how evil and destructive they are and we no longer need them near us anymore

[@Diamondjane54]

I weighed 115 lbs at the time of my captivity. My " owner" weighed in at 245lbs. I am One & a half free from the narrsissiist & I weigh 125lbs. Aside from the anxiety I lived with my spouse was greedy. I am not exaggerating he ate all that was on his plate, anything left on the stove and shamed me until I gave him mine. Bad guy, good news he served a purpose: I am free and understand how painful it can be with the king of lies as the head of the house. Good luck. Danish is a part of my healing.

[@babesadams2991]

[@MonoKrohm_2020]

I wrote a song about my experiences with my abuser The last part of the bridge leading into the climax goes “You’ll never take me again, because all the power I gave you came from within” Remember that everyone. Your power is your own, and nobody can take it from you; you can only give it away.

[@klejjxd]

Ive started writing a book about my almost 10yrs long experience/relationship/situationship with my narcissistic ex... A book or just a story idk yet but it really helps to throw everything out and im glad you are figuring it out too! Sending you love 💜

Also, I love that verse, it is so true and it is awesome to regain that power or more like to fully feel it again

[@dakoderii4221]

Since 2020 people began en masse to get 2020 vision about narcissism, both on the micro and macro scale. People now can see it in their friends, families, workplaces, charity orgs, and the government. It is becoming harder to be a narc. The veil is being torn that covered their deceitful deeds.

[@valerieriggins3184]

EXACTLY 💯 I SEE TOO! Their Power Was In NOT Being EXPOSED. That's WHY That Saying They Wolves Hiding In Sheep Clothes. Other WORDS Pretending To BE Good While Being EVIL. Nobody Thinking 🤔 About A Devil In A Red Suit. They In The Flesh Trying To Deceive And Can't Hide NO MORE.

[@carlaplotner]

You are right! I'm still standing and I have a black belt in tragedy!

[@_Unmatched]

Hi Danish , i would really request you to make a video where you share your experience of leaving your narcissistic family, that would be great as in how you left them and overcame the challenges that came ahead specially for someone like me who is dealing with the same thing. Much love from India ❤❤...

[@RKX_Errant]

Danish has done this. Suggest you look into past videos

[@pam1282]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I needed these words today to remind me all the things I know about myself. You've gone along with me through this journey. I stood in front of a freight train knowing my life would explode to pieces when I left. But I did it. It's been ugly and tiresome beyond believe. You have been by my side when I was always alone up until this point. You have believed in me. You told me things about myself that I knew were true but sometimes couldn't believe. You are a gift and a treasure. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I keep falling and getting up. But everything you said was true. Without your validation I don't know if I could have believed it. Thank you for your constant love and belief in me (and all of the trauma survivors who are fighting, unseen, through the unimaginable). Someday, I will be helping someone too. You are my light. I am my light. Thank you friend 💜💜 Lex best

[@MeCynthiaAnn]

So true…… so true. Praise the Lord God Almighty, that he helps me get through each and every day. Thank you so much for 5his video. From JANESVILLE, WISCONSIN USA

[@jangunning1676]

Hi! I'm Wisconsin here too! I agree with your post! I'm struggling in a crisis situation and trying to get out of it as quickly as possible but need help. I'm from Illinois and new to this state. I've been betrayed in more ways than I can count. I'm weary. I've been through way too many traumas in my life and this is the latest one. Tired? That doesn't begin to describe the fatigue. Health problems? Chronic and this has increased them and created more. I don't feel safe because I'm not. I don't know anyone here yet and I have no friends here. Where does one turn? I ended up here because I trusted. It was revealed that I was asked to move here to start over under false pretenses. It was all a plan and had been planned for quite some time. I believed the person ....with the mask. I was being cornered in an devastating plan. Trust your instincts when you know something isn't right at the moment you feel it. I just didn't know what narcissism was or that that was what I was dealing with....in someone I loved and still love deeply. But I've educated myself here on this platform and to say it's been a rude awakening is putting it mildly. I am never going to be the same. The narcissism has gone off the charts in intensity, behaviors and more bizarre every day. My well being is at stake in every way possible. I am worried. I feel such weight that I sense I just cannot carry any further. Its like I'm a stranger to myself. Why is it like you feel like things are not real? It's like things are in a fog and you are just existing in a different reality. Very weird, uncomfortable and frightening feeling. I do not like it. I want to get rid of it and never, ever feel like this again. I ask for prayer and I do pray for help, guidance and encouragement and I offer the same. I feel very alone, but wisdom assures me I'm not and neither are you all also. Together we all are stronger. I've cried, and cried hard at this video and have listened to it numerous times. I've been through so much in my life, not just currently. However, I do believe if I had not gone through previously all that I have ...that although struggling, I wouldn't be still standing now. I'm a warrior. I pray in time through my struggles and my complete story up to date will be beauty for ashes. There will be a greater purpose in it all as in helping others to endure, stay hopeful and come out the other side better and wiser because of it and pay it forward in such wisdom. Again, beauty for ashes. That's what Danish is doing. Amen! Thank you Danish and may God bless you for being a bright light and being a part of what hope is. Thank you all for your time and reading this. Keep the faith! ✝️🙏🙏❤️

[@MeCynthiaAnn]

@@jangunning1676 First of all, thank you for your feelings that you shared here because it’s very important and valuable. Also to everyone else here. I pray God’s angel armies over each, and everyone of you who are here with these videos. These videos are a blessing, and we thank you again for these videos. Jesus loves each and everyone of you and he promises. He will give us his strength. We need to just keep our eyes on Jesus. Believe me I know what you are feeling. Oh my do I ever know what you are feeling? These things sounds so familiar keep your eyes on Jesus and he will give you that strength because there are wonderful days coming even though it looks bleak, but he came and rescued the Israelites from Egypt and this won’t be a bigger exodus. Watch and see there will be means to provide for yourself and many other wonderful things so hold onto Jesus do not lose hope do not lose hope because it’s right around the corner. God bless You.

[@LadyGoddessSephiroth]

Thank you so much Danish. I forgot about the strength and power I have. You listed everything I thought was a weakness as a strength. Seeing my "weaknesses" rephrased like that lit a fire in me. I'm going to start fulfilling my dreams today. I'm not going to let anything stop me. You're right. I lived through the worst humanity has to offer, and I'm still standing. I can do anything. You are a gift from God. Thank you for all that you do. ❤

8:08 I disagree with this part only because, survivors of narcissistic parents or partners ARE better than the narcissists. We are not abusive or narcissistic. We have hearts and souls and want better lives for ourselves. Of course we are not equal or below a narcissist who drains others and is a bad person.

[@jangunning1676]

I didn't know she was emotionally blackmailing me too. And she got worse when I object to her accusation. She never listen. I feel she was fake. I feel their is an evil holding her. I'm glad I'm released from. Evil person it was horrible experience of life I had twice my father and my ex gf😭🙌💔I hope I recover fully and be really abundant in love, care and physical comfort.

[@serenaluce]

Yes, it's true! We are the winners! But for me the most difficult and discouraging part maybe is that it's all invisible for other people, I've wasted so much effort just to survive physically and stay afloat while in a bit more normal families children take all this for granted and move on... To be where I am now I've overcome "mountains" and so tired...and again all the other people see is that "I'm so talented but so lazy doing NOTHING, just lying on the couch while they "if they were me" bla-bla-bla"...If they were on my place how many would be still even alive, let alone like ME!...

[@stardust4878]

As someone who had a narcissistic friend. She is also befriend with a bizarre nihilistic guy and he doesn't really care, when she critize him. Her abuse started when she was jealous at me, because I had better grades and got my intership in the business, that she wanted. She is a smartass and hate being critizised, after a wrong answer. She always sees as a guy that understand nothing and unable to take any responsibilities and I hate it. Always that humilation in front of the other classmates, then I need help. That's why I'm in no contact today. Now she is really nice, say my nickname loud in front of other people and bombard me of attention and love, but I don't fall in her narcissistic cycle again.

My dad is a therapist. Sometimes it seems like he psychoanalyzes people just to make them feel objectified or avoid things

[@GreedosGoldmine]

Spent 8 years married to a narcissist. This is the biggest problem in America and it is validated in our culture above shunned. I have my theories on this, but largely blame the education system we grew up in and the social garbage pushed in ways that felt acceptable to trick Americans. Basically, look at the template and gender demographics in honors programs for example in k-12 school. In my own, they were majority girls, and the most narcissistic and manipulative were the ones typically promoted and liked for their conniving nature. The boys learned co-dependence on them and to allow this behavior to be promoted into higher education and elite programs. Trust me I should know….

[@catherineluter]

[@dbb2347]

Thanks. I needed this

[@GingerBreadMan144]

I don't agree with this. I don't believe that I can ever recover. I live in Canada. I live paycheck to paycheck for basic needs and I make a half decent wage. My benefits from work cover about three therapy sessions a year. I need to see the therapist I'm temporarily seeing on a weekly basis, for her to treat my C-PTSD with EMDR. I can't just not go to therapy, it's not an option for me. Otherwise... No point in being here anymore. I can't live a life with untreated C-PTSD. It destroys my professional, personal, and romantic relationships. It makes life unbearable and impossible to get through feeling comfortable and safe. I think I'm likely screwed for life, completely destroyed and ruined by a life of constant narcissistic abuse from my parents and siblings. They're not even in my life anymore and they're still winning. They've basically won! I can't fix myself just by watching Danish and Dr. Ramani videos. They're not a substitute for treatment. Canada's version of treating mental illness is putting mentally ill on a wait list for two years to see a psychiatrist who only prescribes medication, which takes years to find the right one and isn't meant to be the main treatment for the illness, but a crutch to participate in therapy and everyday life.

[@SavedbyGrace_90]

Maybe you're watching too much videos about narcissism or thinking about it too much that it controls your mind.

[@jangunning1676]

Wow. If you don't BELIEVE you can recover, then how can you? A hundred C-PTSD therapists or anything else could not help you if you do not have any more hope. Therapists or anyone else can not give you that. Sometimes a person has to dig way down deep in their soul for that hope and scratch and claw their way out of circumstances. But that scratching and clawing, the "blood, sweat and tears"......that IS the hope. Sometimes you live for the fight , if the fight is all that you have. Sounds like you got it within you or you wouldn't be watching the videos to learn, to grow, to endure. You wouldn't be still standing. You've made it this far, you've got what it takes and have all along. Sounds like you're angry....use that anger FOR you....let it give you positivity as in strength to do the clawing and digging upwards!! Use it as DETERMINATION to make it even if your sight is one day at a time or like I have done many times in my past traumas and current crisis and chaos......one hour at a time. I'm struggling in many ways too, as we all who understand and are going through things do. You are NOT alone. I've also learned to fight evil with good. I may not have all the answers to my own problems, but I've learned to fight evil in many ways. Go out and help somebody! Be a blessing somehow to somebody. I'm partial to doing random acts of kindness. It gives me joy. Strength is your joy, joy is your strength. I crochet, I write poetry, paint, art journaling, read, etc. Do things that HELP yourself, yourself that you enjoy. Especially if they can be a blessing to others. Sometimes clarity, hope and strength comes in surprising ways. My best and fav way comes through Jesus. HE is my true strength. Without Hiim, NOTHING is possible. We are more than our struggles and either we believe that come what may, or we don't. No one can decide for us that but ourselves. We who understand your struggles, believe in you and so does Jesus but you have to make the choice to keep going. Keep the faith! I'll pray for you and others as I'm here (newly) in Wisconsin. I ask for prayer as well as my own situation is intense and I'm devastated, heartbroken and in crisis in need of help as I'm am clinging to Jesus and ......that previous jewel called ......hope. May we all live in inner peace, help each other and remember the serenity prayer.......✝️🙏🙏❤️

[@tails99]

​​​@@jangunning1676 positivism from jesus? This new agey determinism even bring me down. If you impose faith as obligation to motivate another then you're not as "devastated and broken" as you think. Narcissism puts faith to the test as well. Good you can still do normal joyful things to maintain sanity, as there's a point they become useless. Don't despise this state even more if you didn't get in that deep despair Coward, edited in a way to not seem to loose the argument. So now you're simply "struggling"

[@SavedbyGrace_90]

It's slow, hard and painful. But surviving each day and not giving up only shows how strong and courageous you are. Maybe, stop from watching about the narcissism until you are ok? Watching something like this over and over again will remind you again and again from what happened from the past. Watch something that is good for you and can help you with your growth. Or know yourself more, your strength and your weakness. Be kind to yourself, love yourself more. Connect with other people who understands what you are going through.

[@tails99]

@@SavedbyGrace_90 that's good advice, though narcissism is a huge topic in its intrincacy and I was avoiding them trying to balance with other interests, but this is exactly what narc parents do - make difficult to find self definition, the dissociation from self sticks hard and then have to get back to videos on narcissism to find a solution... Can be solved with a good therapist if available

The Overcomer song by Mandessa is one of my fight songs. Remember high school football games. That song is me. I do have hope. God and Jesus is my hope and the earphones a comfort. What's left to be dealt with? Getting better at confronting Narcs when they chase you down make them wish they didn't. Them pursuing you and you saying nothing and leaving doesn't present their good image they want presented. Too bad. When I learn to conquer them. Consistently. They're gonna know I'm guarded by Godl favored. Loved Protected .They will go to easier prey. The rest to process. Incinerating a desire for their karma to arrive. Stop explaining your interventions to morons monkeys. Save yourself for God and lovers of Him
