Secret of Winner Narcissists: Stupidity (with Daria Zukowska, Clinical Psychologist)

[@TheLaurenKnight]

My birth mother, has a PhD in Public Service, a Master's of Psychology, and a Bachelor's of Business Management. She worked for a nonprofit health organization during my entire upbringing. She did SOOOO much good work within the underserved communities of "urban" Colorado. AND YET!!! She was INCENSED when she didn't get the promotion she wanted, a person who was YOUNGER than her.... And went to HARVARD got it. It LITERALLY turned her into a person I didn't recognize. " I THOUGHT YOU WERE CONFIDENT " "WHY DOES IT MATTER, IF SHE WENT TO HARVARD??!? YOU'RE STILL THE SMARTEST PERSON I KNOW MOM!" ........ this is what I would say to her when she was CLEARLY in collapse. She would be OVERLY cruel to me when I would say stuff to like that to try and make her feel better. She was a single mother... I thought I was "helping" as a child...... But now as an adult... I know I was just setting myself up for more narcissistic ab*se.

you should have some empathy for your mom, still. she got years of hardwork invalidated because she went to the wrong school

[@JennWest-Liberty]

Reminds me of the idea that the Meek shall inherit the earth. Makes me wonder... perhaps it means that the stupid masses arise and the smart people run away or just hide. That its been a circular situation through time. That it will always be this way. Also makes me recognize that stupid people are often jealous, envious.

Thank you for this lovely knowledge-full interview. Yes, they do run out for beers into fantasy land conversations don’t they! The more they drink the more they talk and louder and louder. Thankfully never joined never will. Happy New Year everyone.

Sam you're the best. Good sense of humor by the way (in other videos mainly😅).

Hello Sam. I hope you see my comment. I saw your video a couple years ago or so where you describe losing yourself as a child. Dissociation as you have talked about in another video I also have watched. I realized that is what happened to some people I love and wanted to help. There are 5 books by Dr. Michael Newton, the first 2 are Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls that are free on KZbin. The other 3 you have to purchase. He does past life and life between life hypnosis and he describes how and why dissociation happens. You have helped me with some of my life challenges. You matter Sam. Thank-you.

I caregivers for my mom run a business 16 hours a day 7 days a week. Then she died. Here I am with 25k in credit card debt. How can that happen? So I ask my family hey look I haves a problem here how about you guys pay me for 3 years of caregiver. Nope they refuse. So I get appraisal of house and offered to buy them out. They stolen documents and filed in court to haves me removed from being trustee. When we had a living trust. So naturally I filed extensions, motions. Then the flying monkeys I would post on Facebook out of town when I was in town. They showed up. Smear campaign me. They Got a hold of my clients information started to destroy my business. These narcissist killed my brother in 2012 and in 2017 they poisoned me but I did not die I was dead for 40 minutes. Then they stalked me. Tried to get me another state.

Watching my ex before he was such with his odd obsession and over-enthusiasm with his new business network groups was a sight to behold. He strived for the position within the group as cock-of-the walk. King of the dip*hits, if you will. But, alas - as with everything and everyone else, the 'new' eventually wore off, and the whole endeavor waned. I do suspect however, this was partially or largely due to a combination of the mask slipping and him making a fool of himself as they all do. A subject of mockery in every company.
