I’ve had to reprogram myself from the continuous overreacting out of outrage and feelings of injustice. I actually thought I was the narcissist at some point before I understood what I was dealing with, because my behavior had become so parallel to the characteristics. I lost myself defending, accusing and trying to get them to see their behavior. It’s a losing battle

I learned in order to survive I had to mimic them but I hated myself and knew it was not who I was so I ended up with borderline personality disorder. Once I was able to escape (most of) them and focus on being true to who I am I find most of the borderline/narcissistic traits I had as a coping mechanism have vanished and I am MUCH happier. It's so hard to be in your position, some people have no clue what hell it is to be born into a family like this. And then to go on and marry someone who is just like them with their own narcissistic relatives who become your inlaws and then to have children who are also narcs... ugh. I know to some people it seems like it's impossible to be surrounded by SO MANY NARCS but for some of us it is a reality and can drive us insane.

This actually makes me think about every single year I have had to purchase a Mother’s Day card for my mum. It literally use to take me HOURS. I would pull a card and read the first of however many heartfelt lines and think, “Nope. That doesn’t describe her.” On to the next… “Well, i WISH that described her.” And then the next… “This doesn’t even remotely describe her.” I always wanted so badly to be able to say to her the sweet and endearing things we read on greeting cards but if i had said them, it would have felt so untruthful and fake. It felt dishonest. Not the parts about her being loved but the parts about her being “a wonderful and thoughtful and sacrificial and caring mother.” She simply was never the kind of mother described this way in heartfelt greeting cards. There was no way i could “say them anyway.”

That means while planning to maybe having to do so making sure to have your electronic car door opener concealed under your clothing just in case the narcissistic person whom you are running from realized you are fleeing from them and so they again by surprise try to grab you and then they manage to shove you into the trunk of your own car. Like what happened to a young woman in the high rise building 2 front doors away from the one I was living in once here in Edmonton, Alberta Canada. If she hadn't ahead of time hidden that electronic car door opener under her clothes then who knows what would have happened to her after she got shoved into the trunk of her own car without it?

My mother was/is a very viscious narcissist. I'm now 56 years old. Shes now 77 and has finally been diagnosed with frontal lobe dementia via CT Scan. Her memory has been prohibitively terrible for many years prior to diagnosis. She HATES that it was me who the Dr told her diagnosis to in the ER. We sent her to the ER because 1. She could be suffering a bout of out of this world new level of dementia that we had never seen or an aneurism had burst. I was invited back to the ER and told she told anyone who would listen exactly how she would murder me. Then they gave me her diagnosis. Well my mom hasn't found her way to the sweet old lady road to memory loss, nope! She's more cruel, more viscious, so hateful! Her favorite child died in December 2019, my only sibling. Narcissists always have a favorite child. His death was completely her fault. He was an addict with a brain injury. She let him use methadone after his TBI. He because severely dependent which she loved! She isolated him because.....people didnt need to know he had a TBI....it affected his short term memory severely! 7 yrs after his TBI her dementia kept her very guarded. He died because she.....didnt want ppl to know (this is a standard n repeating theme in her narcissistic brain. If ppl knew he went to Hospital they'd probably believe it was due to her. I had outted her for allowing n keeping it secret that my brother was on methadone.....his TBI was caused by that drug. So my brother peed coffee brown for 3 weeks. When he finally went to the ER his gallbladder disease had killed his kidneys. He didnt feel the nightmare pain of this level of gallbladder disease because he took 160 mg of methadone. The hospital took him off dialysis and ket his body poison itself to death! This is Narcissism! Save yourself! Run from anyone close who has it!

Renee, this is so much and I’m so sorry you’ve had to (and still are) enduring this! I’m glad you’re here in the healing journey!!! I appreciate you and your comment. You are correct to say they have a favorite child. This has been my experience as well coming from a family of five siblings. Interestingly, the favorite in my family is also a drug addict. I call this the narcissist’s “Savior Syndrome.” If my mother can’t “save the day” for everyone, she knows she can at least save my brother (or so she thinks since he refuses to do anything for himself.) I hope you can find peace, Renee. You deserve it!!!

Those "heart messages" should be one's self-talk (said WITHIN oneself). Telling the toxic person that you're on to them and how you're going to respond is like telling the enemy or game opponent that you figured out their strategy and what they expect for your response. In short, "don't let your right hand know what your left hand is doing" A relationship doesn't have to always be about being cerebral (intellectualizing.) When I was a very young lad a wise woman once said to me, "you have to learn to see and not see" Of course, I asked what that meant but she was wise and left that up to me to learn its meaning. Years later, it clicked. SHUT UP and take note of what you're seeing. Simple example: YOU: "I know you're lying because you always touch your left ear" TOXIC PERSON: (Thanks idiot, now I know not to touch my left ear after lying) Just say'n, If you think telling a toxic person your thoughts and strategy is a good move--then you do you.

What makes it even more challenging is when the narcissist is a blood relative. This younger relative got totally wasted on booze at his own New Year's Eve party - to which he had invited me - then proceeded to curse me out at the top of his lungs in front of the entire family which include his firstborn teenage son. His temper tantrum was over a misunderstanding which did not even concern him. My *"punishment"* for quietly leaving the party to go home early was for him to *"ban"* me from getting to see or talk to his two kids. His ten year old daughter's mother agreed without even knowing the whole story *"because it was easier to go along with what he wanted"* Three months later his baby mama finally unblocked me on her phone but the damage had been done by that time. Neither one of them ever apologized. My relative constantly tries to get me to be seen and not heard by telling me how HE thinks I should conduct myself at family functions while he always tries to be in the spotlight. He also likes trying to talk down to me like I am one of his kids while in front of them. Any attempt to either engage or disregard him is of course met with very aggressive gaslighting: *"I was ONLY trying to help so why YOUR attitude?"* I am pretty much at the point where I am looking at making alternative plans for the winter holidays this year without him and the members of our family who enable him.

Good for you! 👍 I hope 1 day maybe I will find my strength again, but with each passing day it seems less & less likely for me. Stick to your guns. You are stronger than they think! You mentioned what all this crap does to Fibro...& nailed it there for me too. I too have Fibro, & Lupus also. I'm teetering on edge of depression & just ending the misery. The sheer, whole body, unrelenting pain of Fibro, when the stress keeps it active is unbearable when goes on month after month! Every inch of my body hurts -- inside & out! Lupus has been in flare-up for almost 10mos now & body's attacking me, 1 thing after another. Lupus & Fibro gang up & it's sheer pain, every minute of every day anymore! Ended up in hospital 3x with horrendous infections & major skin (my weakest organ to attack) problems that move all over my body & hospital couldn't figure out what was wrong; what causing all this -- just 1 thing àfter another!! 3x in hospital & they'd get symptoms under control, healing started & send me home. Soon, would be right back in there with similar, but different, symptoms/parts of body gone "haywire"! Finally gott them to run test to see if Lupus in 'overactive mode' -- the Fibro was obvious & in hospital they could give me pain relief I can't do at home. Only relief I've had in many months! That part felt so nice! ~ not a big ball of pain! They were blowb away to find out all the other stuff -- skin infections, feet, hands, all bad & yep. Lupus! Worst "flare" I've EVER had, or they'd seen (after 3rd trip in there). Told husband how bad & that they can only treat symptoms -- need Lupus to go into remission & said for that, stress must be cutback (alot) & cat hair (am allergic) has to be taken care of...brushing cats, cleaning up cat hair, everywhere! He needs to do those things for me to go in remission & be healthy. Narcis so good at faking care & concern! HE has to clean up cat hair all over, quick-brush them & keep them/hair off bed, kitchen counters, etc. (Have 7 rescued cats, mostly outside in yard.) Last discharged late Nov. 2020 & they explained it all to my husband, who acted AS IF cared, understood & would take care of it + plus reduce stress in house, etc. "Hahahahaha!" Not even once! Everything same, except now Med. Ins. won't cover some of hospital bills, or let me go back in when gets so bad!?! Fibro pain came back soon as I was out of hospital & no pain relief shots. But I had 8-10 days break from intense pain. Have to break pain cycle with Fibro. It worked its way back to 24/7 solid pain. He does nothing they said, feels no guilt or compassion. I don't know how someone who claims to love you, together for decades, can do stuff he KNOWS will cause pain & suffering! I could never do that to another human being & feel ok about it - no care!! I've dealt with this crap for many years, but not so bad as this & for so long. No remission yet. Am dependent on him financially & sometimes will help me at home, if feels like it. ("Ego strokes") Was strong like you once & should have left. I did not & now cannot. I am so proud of you tho! Stay strong & find your peace & a painfree life with love! Keeping me sick (my immune system's fault) sure feels like a weird type of abuse. Total lack of concern & sees whar it does to me. So I've decided that if I end up back in hospital, thereby pain-free for a bit too, I may try to leave right after sent home, few days before pain sets back in & such. Nowhere to go, but I bought me a tent & cot, sleeping bag & live in CA, so nice weather (hot right now). "Remission" would sure be nice! 😁 Not gonna warn him tho, just go, during that "window of opportunity". We are worth more than narcis can appreciate, right?! Stay strong & break free!! All the best to you!

@@SnarkasticSunny could you go to a safe house straight after next hospital visit? Could you rehome your cats first, saying the doctors consider it essential (get back up in writing from one of them). The narc won’t care if you have 100% non-stop pain and suffering, probably enjoys it. Remember what Dr C said; it’s an arrangement, not a relationship. Words (nice ones) from a narc can have zero meaning or feeling behind them and are simply a tool for them to keep you fooled/hooked. They have words aplenty too, smokescreens for their lovelessness. No one can cope with the stress of contact with a narc without something breaking down, physical health, mental health ... I think if you can make your escape your main focus and keep it from everyone (some of your most trusted f&f may think they are doing ‘the right thing’ to warn the narc and he may well have them fooled too), you just may find a slow but steady gentle healing 💖🍀💖🍀💖

I searched it on KZbin and only a few minutes into the video the hairs stood up on my arms because my mom is a narcissist. So weird to hear someone describe what I went through my whole childhood. I only see her twice a year now but I have my own child. After her Christmas visit my 7year old said, "grandma has really been working on her bossyness". After her visit this summer my 7year old said "she isn't bossy, she's just mean". Broke my heart. I'm still trying to decide how to deal with this. I'm thinking about telling her my mom has a mental illness that she doesn't know about. And we can't tell her because she won't believe us. Would love some feedback.

The phrase near the end "you don't define me" really struck a chord with me. The narcissist in my life has labelled me in so many negative ways and assigned values to me that I never chose for myself. Often using words like "you always say" and "you think such and such" and his favorite, "YOU always accuse ME of....whatever it is, but YOU are always doing it...." yet when I ask to provide an example of when I "accused" him of something he can never think of a specific time. It's just his sneaky way of being critical and at the same time projecting it onto me. I'm the "overly critical" one even as he gives more criticism! These people are smart unfortunately.

Thank you for sharing them, and I pray that others will apply them for their benefit! Amen! My own revelation that I would like to offer: We are called to love one another as we love ourselves... not MORE THAN! That realization was the beginning of my journey to stop enabling others at my own expense and misery!

Damn! Say this to someone who can dish it out but who can’t take it, and it will ring between their ears for the rest of their days. Return to your courage. You’ve had enough cutting down. Now, Be the diamond!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏

Excellently said, Dr. Carter. This has got to be the Magnum Opus of everything I should have said to her. It enunciates so accurately everything I was looking for words to describe and say. Alas, the divorce is underway and I'm picking up the pieces and moving on.

I am my own person. You don’t define me. So spot on

These words are good food for my heart. I will visit this recording again and probably use some of these sentences when I need them. Unfortunately there is no shortage of narcissists around.

This is an amazing video. Better that I finally became aware of this at 49 years old, than to have never become aware of it at all.
