Right On! They do such horrific things to the people around you and never feel bad for what they did. When you remind them of what they did back in the day, they get nasty, resentful, and upset saying "Why are you bringing that up from all those years ago!" Their parents are the reason in my opinion. They give their child everything and they get away with everything. They never think for one minute that their actions affect the folks around them.

This resonates So Much with my experience: In a 50 year friendship I started healing and growing, no longer relating to my friends toxic thinking. I fed into her supply and never held her accountable because I too was broken. Our relationship started shifting when I did the work and started realizing we had unhealthy mental health/behaviors. I discussed the Elephant in the Room with a deep conversation. She did not like it. She backlashed with passive aggression and smearing name. I simply texted her a message: "We no longer ebb and flow. This is okay with me." After this, I never looked back and blocked her number. I have no regrets and am proud of my growth and respecting my boundaries.

I, as a dude, just got rid of a male friend like this too. Like you, I started "feeding into their supply" when I was going through the toughest of times. Shortly but surely-- they were all sudden getting bossy at their own apartment at me. Enough was ENOUGH after a while and I went no contact. Too bad they had ruin a 15-yr friendship... But if you look up the word narcissist it's not going to be my worst ex-girlfriend nor my family of origin who lean towards or are on that side of the spectrum. If you look up the word narcissist - your ex-friend and my ex-friend are both next to the word in WITH THEIR PHOTO NEXT TO IT in the Webster's dictionary basically. I am now SO GLAD to have finally gone NO CONTACT for the last time recently! PS--it's funny how they go from being your biggest supporters (their MASK, that is.. God knows what they were saying behind my back at that time) to picking on you out of nowhere at your worst times. People like those are all about FEINGED SUPERIORITY and you'll recognize it in the way that they talk about other people and talk down about other people that they shouldn't too!)

I had a guy friend who turned on me when I called him out, of course he goes around telling people I'm crazy, I tell people he is just mad because I wouldn't give him any leg.

I am very curious if men that are religious leaders have a higher possibility of being extremely narcissistic? I have dated one who pushed for marriage real fast , telling me all that’s wrong with me on a daily basis and that I was over sensitive . I have never met someone like him, so critical of everyone around him, aggressive and putting people down and being in a constant negative mindset. Needless to say that I ran as fast as possible after 6 months of dating. I feel totally drained from this experience.

I'm so glad you ran! Amen. Their behavior does not line up with Gods character! Run!

Oh, absolutely. They envision themselves as extraordinarily entitled, far more special & important - literally god's anointed chosen one here on earth. They're the arbiter of what's right & wrong, while others exist primarily to serve them & their desires. What could possibly go wrong.....?

What's the mind f*** for me is that all this stuff can and does go both ways... there's a lot that sounds like my ex "best friend", and there's some stuff that sounds like me... makes it hard to tell who wronged whom

My older half-brother and a close so-called friend. So sad but finally I have emotionally detached from them.

Being entangled with a Narc is like being in a Fight you don't recognize as a Fight , only when one climbs out of the pit does one know one was ever in the pit . And the Narc owns the pit and wants to keep it , he / she really doesn't care who joins them in the pit so long as the flames are licking anyone but them.

Resentment is a killer in all relationships whether romantic or not and with or without the person having narccisstic behaviors. I also thing resentment is actually disrespecting yourself. It has happened to me but I have learned over the years including some painfull experiences that the best way to deal with someone that you develop some sort of resentment for them or trying to understand a resentment they may have for you is to look inward at yourself. When I have felt some resentment toward a person because I begin to believe they are taking advantage of me or the situation, I don't cut them off cold turkey. I don't tell them anything unless they ask and I set my own boundaries and enforce them without their acknowledgement since they never seem to care for your point of view. So if you are in a relationship and the other person always insist that we go to the restaraunt of their choice or any plans of their choice, or they will not go, here is what I have learned to do. Your friend or romantic partner who always has to have their way at your expense says " let's go Italian Friday night." No we eat Italian all the time or whatever your choice is, and I would like to eat Chinese Friday night. They then say "Well I don't like Chinese so I guess we can just cook something at home or I will ask a friend who wants to eat Italian Friday night" . You say " Great you enjoy your meal Friday night at home or with your friend but I am going to go out and eat Chinese Friday night." If they then say, "OK you win and we can go eat Chinese Friday night", then you say fine but this Friday night you are on your own cause I am eating Chinese without your company." Don't worry if they get it or not. If they want to talk after that then fine but let your actions and intentions match. Life is to short to sell yourself for nothing. I love your videos Stephanie.

So good to remind me about things to keep vigilant about. Also watch out for the preachy ones who masquerade as the spiritual moral leaders, with the air of authority and wisdom . Its taken me years to disentangle myself from this person.

8 year trauma bond and my body has gone into shock the withdrawals are too much! Your videos are helping me cognitively and thank god your videos aren’t hours and hours long. Straight to the points. The amount of flashbacks I’ve had of things I forgot is astounding. My narc ex lives 5 doors away so my fight or flight response is triggered a lot! It’s draining and exhausting. Any tips for elevated levels of cortisol please? Xxx

Very good video again! I’ve been dealing with a narcissistic toxic person very close to me for a few years, and now that she’s gone, me and my wife are dealing with backlash and this person gone. Because it is a very close family member, it’s been tough but your channel is one of the best I found to help me better understand why it is this way, and how to deal with the situation. Keep up sharing your good work !

These videos have seriously helped me understand and come to terms with the relationship I have with my brother. I cannot explain how much you have benefitted me. Thank you for being a healthy, guiding hand, and thank you for being a free resource I can tap into when I need the extra help. I'm changing my life, and I couldn't have done it without your channel. I appreciate what you do immensely!!! ❤

It’s really odd to listen and see that the former relationship…that person is described here. I mean the whole thing. Exact to the tee!!! It’s weird. Always jabbing insults criticizing. Then say they didn’t. I am not kidding. At first I was so blown away at what was just said…my response, after the first time and a a few more I said… ok I am sorry I will do better. Year or maybe more it became… your not sorry You just got caught!!! This thing went from Moms mom to mom to daughter then my oldest got this thing in them where they destroy people at a whim. Never say anything like … it hurt me… Thanks again
