Thank you for opening up about your personal life and struggles. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to discuss your private life. Honestly, I don't care what your motivations are. I only care about what I have learned from your talks and how easy I find it to understand what it is that you are talking about. I have been following you in one format of the other for many years and you have helped me tremendously. Thank you!

There's so much wisdom in judging people by their actions instead of their motivation. I slowly started shifting my focus away from making excuses for people's actions because I could understand what's behind some years ago. I'm still interested in their inner world and feel great empathy for their suffering but I set boundaries and don't allow them into my life anymore. It's been a lot of grief but now I start to see the positive effects on my health both mental and physical.

In relationships with the kinds of men I attract, I’m the little white bird that sits on the crocodile’s snout. The crocodile doesn’t want me to ask about all the other little birds who had sat where I did. I almost found out the way they did, but got very lucky. Several times.

indeed, i wouldn't call it "judge", because we're not in a court of law, but yes it's best to form an opinion about someone from their actions not only their words. Don't judge a book by it's cover, talk is cheap etc... are very true proverbs.

The only problem is actions can be invisible in the case of deciding not to do so again despite having already done so... I see I still need to hope Elon's neural link allows the inner worlds and intents of others to be shared openly or make my own because people decide against trusting or believing me and I don't want to be alone even if it's my own fault.

Prof. Sam, can a malignant narcissist encourage suicide in a partner? My boyfriend who I suspect a malignant narcissist, frequently refers to his ex girlfriend as being low on self esteem and cause of it committed suicide. I suspect seeing a sparkle in his eye when he says that and it sends shivers down my spine.

I don’t know what I am. I know I’m not great. I have no sense of self after being raised by very dumb parents. My entire life was crafted preventing disappointment from my parents until I was about 23 and I went from being their “perfect kid” to being so addicted to drugs and alcohol that I stunted all my growth and development beyond that for 15 years. I’ve been sober for 10 and have only now started seeing that most of my issues cane from an ingrained displeasure with myself and complete insecurities with any decision I make even today. I fell into a deep depression and kept it to myself because I was afraid to tell my family that I’m struggling with my past within our family. When my mental health cracked even further and I finally tried to tell my family/parents about it, they called me a sick individual if that’s how I felt about the way I was treated. I was called a victim, blame shifter, accountability skirter. I can’t help but wonder if I’m exactly what they think I am. It wouldn’t surprise me if I was an unaware narcissist.

I love listening to these because it gives me insight to what I was married to for 16 years until I left him. Your videos give me strength, and you have described my ex to a tee when you describe the "False Self", it also makes my anxiety go through the roof, but it is worth it. Is it bad that there is a part of me that feels bad for him? I know secrets that no one knows and these stem from childhood. His mother who, I always called "The Matriarch" of the family, is narcissistic as well, I saw this from the first moment I met her!!!! It is so scary how I am on the outside looking in now, I'm so afraid for my children!!! Haha I refuse to be on dating sites, (I seem to attract a narcissist/psychopaths) I also removed myself from FB a few months ago because of these men. My ex portrayed this "shared fantasy," you described, up until 2 years ago he still envisioned us together. It wasn't until I exposed a video of him on social media of him sexually harnessing me then did he leave me alone only because he issued a restraining order on me, (he is a divorce atty. and turned it on me), he manipulated the judicial system and turned it on me!!!!! Its fine because we don't speak now, but because of you Prof. Vaknin I am building the courage to face him and the truth will prevail! I am that action that he is afraid of!

So absolutely clarifying for me. The simple details and comparisons helped me to "see" people in my current experience. I am a member of two 12 step fellowships; each addresses opposite sides of a coin. One includes individuals with at least narcissistic traits; the other includes those inhabiting the worlds of members of the first group. I legitimately belong in both groups. This video discusses the concerns of both...and adds a new perspective for me. Thank you very much.

What about the narcissist who is not charming but somehow through playing a victim through illness, real or feigned, is able to gain the sympathy of others while they are abusing a few targets and not only that but seems to have an entire community of friends or supporters? They seem like a psychopath but lack the charm and are abrasive. How do they have such a huge network of people who like them? Or is it that there's a ton of toxic people that are drawn into the narcissists circle? I don't get how a nasty guy with no redeeming qualities at all can have a large group of supporters like the one that crossed my path who is exploitive. All it took to anger this guy was for me to tell him no and to show him the error of his ways and tell him to leave me alone. He then did the smear campaign.

They are at the disposal of malignant entities the whole lot of them they are similar to the mob, where there is compromise of values or belief or ignorance or that's what I've experienced in myself and what I've witnessed in others. The bible says " "we fight not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers spiritual wickedness in high places."

I see my mother now, her sister, and my sister and though I don't like it, it is there and I know it. I was lucky, I benefited from early positive attachment with my father and my aunts and I have a core self. And I get what that means now when my therapist says that.

Your work was very scholarly but I persisted because you were telling my story in a way that years of psychotherapy exploration never did. I am grateful for you and your current work, as well as for dumbing down your intellectual mastery of psychopathy and narcissism to help us students. It was hard to learn about my own culpability, yet that acceptance was truly the beginning of finding myself. It took years, I got duped more than a few times, however facing myself was the key.

Dr Sam. I only discovered you yesterday and have watched a handful of your videos so far and intend to watch them all when I can. I would appreciate knowing what your childhood was like, which potentially caused you to become a narcopath Do you have a video or info on this available? My father was an alcoholic narcopath and violent, mostly to mum but also toward my older and younger sisters sometimes. His preference were the submissive types, like my mum and sisters. I’m like a tiger, a fighter, so he wasn’t violent towards me and the very few times he tried to be, I fought back and he backed off. I left home at 18 years of age. I’m aware he had a shit childhood in former Yugoslavia, so I can see how he would have become such an arsehole. Not that that excuses his abhorrent and diabolical behaviour. My ex husband and his fraternal twin sister experienced no domestic violence and had a relatively normal childhood, except that their mother died when they were young. The father remarried and had a son with his new wife, who is approx. 12 years younger than my ex. But my ex husband was a masterful, charismatic conman who destroyed my family financially, as well as other people’s lives and businesses. He managed to con highly intelligent people- property developers, bank managers, a lawyer, a doctor, the list goes on. He had been incarcerated at least three times for financial gain by deception, fraud, etc… The younger brother is a registered pedophile. I left my ex husband when I was pregnant with our daughter and haven’t seen him since 1997. His access to my kids was reserved by the Famiky Court. He didn’t even attend the court case. I heard a couple of years ago that he has 9 kids with various women. None which he gives a shit about. My daughter from my ex husband is a narcopath. She and my son had a very unstable childhood because they had to live with my parents so were exposed to my fathers violence even though he didn’t directly physically abuse them, they witnessed a lot of horrible shit. I had to work all the time, so had to rely on mum to look after them and even when I got them out of that house, we moved a lot, I had anxiety and depression and could never give my kids what every child deserves, properly or consistently. There’s so much to say but one day I’ll put it in a book. One day! I strongly believe that NPD and psychopathy is hugely genetic, based on my ex husband being a narcopath and his younger brother being a paedophile with no DV or trauma and my daughter who is alarmingly just like my father and her father. My daughter’s behaviour scares me more than anyone I’ve ever known in my life and I’m 56 now. Neither my sisters or I are any of those things, although I do believe I had some mild narcissistic traits when I was younger, which I nipped in the bud for the most part because I didn’t like them. I apologise if this is disjointed… I’m typing in the tiny box on my phone in the YT app and it’s jumping around all over the place. I hope you will reply. Thank you for your time.

Stumbled across your website and now this video. Apologies if some of these questions have already been addressed. I'm a woman with anxious-avoidant attachment who is diagnosed with generalized anxiety and PTSD (disassociative subtype). One behavior I have is I'm a curiosity junkie and ask other people a ton of questions about themselves to avoid attention placed on myself. Additionally, my response to trauma is total emotional disconnect. No empathy towards others or connection to emotion in myself. Who I loved minutes before I can observe them to be feeling extreme anguish and pain and I feel absolutely zero emotion and sympathy towards them. I "feel like a sociopath" is my colloquial description. Sometimes I can trigger it at will, not often. Outside of this trauma response I fully experience empathy, sympathy, and emotions though I'm still disconnected in the sense that I reach a point where I am unable to form meaningful relationships with people. Context given, my first question is: 1. Are narcissists (of whatever subtype) more drawn to certain people (fearful-avoidant subtypes, certain traits, etc.) for supply? I've always wondered how someone with my condition (endless questions yet total emotional disconnect triggered by any sign of rage/instability) and a narcissist would interact. 2. Do narcissists avoid/dislike some people more than others, and if so, for what reasons? 3. How do you feel/what do you think about the way that diagnoses are classified? Seems that a lot of criteria to diagnoses are unhelpfully vague and often overlap with other diagnoses. I would imagine that BPD, NPD, and paychopathy would absolutely overlap in many areas, for example. 4. Your thoughts on societal attitudes placed on narcissists? 5. You seem to define yourself more by the narcissistic label than by your other diagnoses. Why? Thanks!

Professor, what advice would you give to a young narcissist to live life in the most optimal way? I know that you suggested withdrawing from society/ avoiding others in another video but this is not possible for all cluster Bs since some have to make a living for ourselves and dont have financial support so what would you suggest?

Via one of two state qualified diagnostitians, the mmpi and a battery of other tests, my live in ex of three and a half years (four if you include the last six months of an LDR death rattle) was shown to have the following: alcohol use syndrome, antisocial personality disorder traits, narcissistic personality disorder traits, histrionic personality disorder traits, turbulent style, adhd and some depression. Anecdotally, there were addictions, sex, p*** and amphetamines. In the past, video games and possibly gambling were addictions as well. The diagnostician recommended further evaluation, counseling for management of the adhd, etc. Yeah, he jumped right on that. Too bad, he'd make a great study case.

So do narcissists care for animals? Like their pets? If not then why do they have them? Whats the point of having a pet for someone with npd?

Why not do a video about different cultures being narcissistic like Muslims are Islamic people Hindus Asians ? Cultures in narcissism makes a difference.
