Clearly I have wasted my life with no ambition, status or power. I moved to a foreign country at 23 and never grew up, just kept on feeling and experiencing new things. So why am I so content with my life as I sit here about to turn 70? Some people want to leave their mark on this world but I guess I want to leave no trace of my passing, same as I do out on the trails. Some people need to live big, but hey, it's okay to live grounded in the present and let others carry all that angst of ambition and competition.🙏

I don’t think you’ve wasted your life at all. Your personal goals are yours and yours alone. You’ve reached 70 years which is in itself a milestone achievement. You took a gamble to relocate to a foreign country and made that decision work for you at a young age, again an achievement, and I’m sure there is much more too! Who says that we actually need great ambition, status and power, because with that comes huge responsibility and potential complications?

My oldest sister hated me most of my life, and I spent inordinate amounts of time and energy trying to make her happy. It didn’t even occur to me that she was jealous, and nothing was ever going to make her happy. And the harder I tried the more she hated me. Until recently. And I’ve finally given up. And it’s so freeing. ❤

My older sister was the same. It wasn’t until my 40s that I realized I operated my life in response to her hatred of me by people pleasing, overworking myself, taking tasks on to show how hard I would work. She was diagnosed with a terminal illness 2 years ago & I went to care for her for 8 weeks straight. I fed her, dressed her, changed her, cleaned up after her. I wore sweatpants & tees daily, no makeup, no nails, hair in a bun specifically to dampen any jealous feelings. She was then visibly jealous I was helping with her grandkids, jealous I was connecting with her kids, jealous I was speaking with her friends to update them, visibly jealous I was living, basically. Part of me felt guilty I couldn’t stay longer to help but I realized my very presence ignited her jealousy & it was hurting her for me to stay on and help her. So I left without regret. She died three months ago & as her friend and I grieved together, the friend disclosed the level of jealousy she felt toward me ran deep. I admired & loved her so much it was very painful to hear what I knew all along, out loud. But the admission also validated what I suspected & lifted any negative feelings I had about it because those feelings didn’t belong to me. I let them die with her.

I've learnt to call people out and not give a S#it about what people think, I'm transparent and I keep the bad people away, the people who caused me pain when I didn't understand why.

I felt this and I can relate. I recently cut off a friendship of 20 years when I just couldn’t stand the constant complaining. Everything was a problem. Everyone was ‘weird/gay’. Outside of the moaning, she would lace conversations with concealed put downs. I realised that it was ok for us to be friends when I was going from job to job and rented Accomodation. The moment I started to move up the professional ladder and buy property? It made her strangely insecure. I had to cut the cord.

He’s so right about the smile. The other day I was out getting groceries and this disabled guy riding a scooter said something really kind with the most real smile I’ve ever seen and it wasn’t anything physical it was about me struggling with things in my cart lol. It was like a split second of the universe glitching and being seen, really SEEN by an angel. Just a middle aged guy not super in shape and obviously for whatever reason couldn’t walk to get his groceries. omg I fell in love with him in that second and can’t forget it.

I have always been bullied, as a child in Holland and even as an adult in the US. I was feisty but so insecure. I survived a skydiving accident at age 24, leaving me severely disabled. I still became a physician assistant until after 10 years, but had to stop. I became more disabled and was diagnosed with adhesive arachnoiditis. This type of neuro-inflammatory spinal cord inflammation (meningitis) is incurable and the pain is intractable. By now the sacral nerves are adhesed to the bone part and everything hurts. But I got my life back and a lot of time to think and contemplate. I am high IQ and gregarious, not understanding why I was treated badly, also as a crippled comic. Well I had another crisis forcing me find my cojones. I'm finally proud of my accomplishments, and people treat me nicely and with respect. It's a new world fot me, one I enjoy living in.

When it comes to narcissistic abuse, it's crucial to focus on understanding the dynamics of the abusive relationship and the impact it has on the victim, rather than making assumptions or generalizations about their behavior. Narcissistic abuse can have a profound and complex effect on victims, often leading to emotional trauma, low self-esteem, and a distorted sense of self-worth. It can erode trust, create feelings of isolation, and manipulate the victim's perception of reality. Some victims of narcissistic abuse may struggle with maintaining healthy boundaries, trusting others, or recognizing their own value. In some cases, individuals who have experienced narcissistic abuse may engage in behaviors that are out of character, including cheating or seeking validation outside the relationship. These behaviors can be a response to the emotional turmoil and manipulation they have endured. It's important to approach this with compassion and understand that these actions may stem from a desire for validation, escape, or a misguided attempt to regain a sense of control or self-worth. However, it's essential to note that not all victims of narcissistic abuse engage in infidelity or seek external validation. Each individual responds to abuse differently, and their actions may vary depending on their coping mechanisms, personal values, and circumstances. If you or someone you know has experienced narcissistic abuse, it is crucial to seek support from professionals such as therapists or counselors who specialize in trauma and relationship dynamics. They can provide guidance, healing strategies, and help rebuild a healthy sense of self-worth and trust. Remember, the effects of narcissistic abuse are complex, and the healing process is unique to each individual. Judgment and assumptions can hinder the understanding and support that victims need. Providing empathy, compassion, and access to appropriate resources can contribute to the healing journey and empower survivors to rebuild their lives. Additionally, If you need to find out about a cheating narc; send a request to: Barryinvestigation@gmail. com

Robert doesn’t look at things with empathy, he sees strategic manipulation of people as the way to dominate life. And I’m not criticizing; he is clearly a fascinating narcissist in recovery. And I believe he might recognize his warpy way of thinking. So good on him. But if you’ll notice, his methods are appealing to those 1 in 6 narcissists who are looking for ways to manipulate with pseudo-authenticity, because narcissists cannot be authentic. He realizes that when people are understood in depth, there comes the true ability to act and to achieve to one’s ultimate life’s desire. He cannot conceptualize the idea that some people do not hide shadow. In expression of shadow, authenticity is being expressed. There are those who take control and do not “act.” Only a grandiose person understands that “weak asks” make them look weak and that “strong asks” hide weakness and are “convincing” to others of your strength. Only narcissists believe that everyone is fake and potentially threatening. Essentially, he is more of a self-conceptualized narcissist than the others. His thoughts are intriguing but you’ll never hear him talk about how to really tap into the emotions of another with care, love, and consideration. At the other end of the spectrum, the ability to be empathetic can also be used to one’s advantage, but narcissists don’t consider that method. He’s learned how to leverage his narcissism for success through identification of the weaknesses in others and himself and realizing where his tendencies have caused him to fall short of control.

Haven't finished the video yet but I do know enough people that say they are good at reading people and it's not the people there reading. It's the intentions that they are perceiving in order to protect themself. Normally it's a Trauma response. Your brain is trying to protect you but it does more harm then good. Considering we are described as creatures that need social interaction to survive, staying inside would be considered harmful, in the long run. I'm a gamer myself and though we can get social interactions online, if we have this issue with reading people, we tend to start isolating even in gaming situations to avoid feeling uncomfortable.

I am a highly sensitive intuitive type with high empathy which cripples me since I also have the gift of understanding. Where I get hurt repeatedly is that there is no understanding in return when I merely react to abuse. However, none of us are perfect, or even good all the time and most of our good radar comes from trauma and hypervigilence..I'm still in therapy for it because 4 decades of patterns of my attracting people who admire me for these traits, plus my passion and outspokenness....I end up getting angry at them and resentful of them, so that means...I'm not a saint, therefore, there are others who don't like that about me. I mistook my whole life, the 'quiet ons' for being calm, strong, a rock. It turns out that 'rock,' growing up, stood by and didn't protect and defend me against my physically and mentally abusive parent, their spouse who I was more scared of but still screamed bloody murder, when assaulted .....but the quiet one who didn't find me worth the fight to protect me, was just as abusive actually. So, we all have work to do! Humility is key. Tough stuff, really.

Absolutely true. People who have gone through things read the book (48 laws) with a different lens - enlightening. I also remember this one guy who told me "reading it makes you evil, it teaches you to be manipulative". And he was/is the master manipulator (one who you have to watch). I realized that decisively years later. Be very careful of 'frenemies' and narcisits - they totally hate when you are aware of all these tacts or counter-respond in manners that they can no longer put a choke hold on you. Thanks for this episode and continuing to share knowledge and insights.

As a horrible human being who easily compare myself to others, feeling sad or envy and jealousy all the time, this interview relieved me a lot for various reasons. First, the fact that we all have dark side make me feel less horrible about my self. Second, as author said if this is the last moment of my life, I would not sit with jealousy. I would rather celebrate my life and my friend’s success. Today I meet some of my highschool friednds who are more successful than me, and who will gonna be marry soon. I felt kind of envy toward them. But after seeing this video, I say to myself. What if this is the last moment I can meet them, what if I die tomorrow. I want to say congratulations to them. And I want to focus on myself what I want in my life and be more strategic. Thank you for great interview

I say prayers every time I accidentally hit a moth or insect while Im driving, and it causes me sadness. I will stop and pull roadkill off the road no matter how small or large or what stages of decomposition (carry gloves, sanitizer in cars exactly for this reason) and pull them off to the side to a clearing in woods or somewhere peaceful, find flowers if only weeds and leaves, say a prayer that their life mattered and how sorry I am that everyone just runs over you as if your life and existence didn't matter. I'm also Hawaiian and didn't grow up knowing very much about my Hawaiian ancestry or spiritual connections to animals and nature. I now know the ancient Hawaiians, like the indigenous Australians and Americans, had a deep respect and connection to animals, sea, lakes, plants, sky, clouds as if these other species and weather phenomenon were inter-connected as mystical, mythological, spiritual forces and entities. Our Paganism beliefs ultimately replaced by Puritanical Christian missionaries and western colonialism sadly. If we were to return to those beliefs, I do believe we would do more to save, protect, shepherd nature and wildlife. So I hug trees, try not to hurt insects, thanking them, talk to squirrels, flowers, and don't worry anymore if anyone sees me or laughs. Our Hawaiian ohana Aumakua (an animal spirit that is a deceased ancestor) is the Mako Mano, a Mako shark. So advocate on behalf of sharks, who are hunted and endangered now from false fear-based marketing campaigns and entertainment. I love this interview and Robert Greene's beliefs about animals, and I love the comments. Animals keep us sane. Ravens leave me gifts of flowers and tree branches with leaves, after I leave them treats of food on a stone pillar on my gate. They've been doing this for 6 years. I met the Corvid professor John Marzluff from UW and his books on Ravens and Crows. We should strive to live to respect and honor and live in mutualism with other species, animals and plants. I was very moved by the book When Elephants Weep. 🤙🌺🦈

That was HUGE. A year later I'm at the same job but I feel very differently about myself and the people I work with. 100% that is the first thing to do...

@@thabomabuza7340 No, I'm disabled. I have come to accept that, and I'm perfectly fine with that fact. Fact is, there are things I will never be able to do again, and that list will only grow as my neuro degenerative disease progresses. I will never be able to pull the transmission from my 1968 F100 and replace the clutch. There is no manner of doing it differently that will change this fact. Being on my back and wrestling nearly 300 pounds of cast iron just isn't going to happen. I will have to pay someone to do it for me the next time the clutch needs to be replaced. The only people that I have known that insist on using "differently abled" have not been able to accept their disability fully, and live their best or better life then before. They struggle to fully emotionally accepting their current reality. In turn they try and force themselves into intellectually rejecting that which they know to be true. That they have become disabled, and have lost some level of functioning. Overcoming that hurtle of emotionally and intellectually accepting their disability is the step needed to not only gain full acceptance, but to thrive going forward. An intellectual or emotional rejection of this prevents moving foward. As you spend your energy trying to disprove what you already know to be true.

(his dream job ever since he was a kid) He said he couldnt stand the toxic cultre, drama, and crappy pay any longer and is ready to make the change and finally get paid what he deserves for all his hard work. I fully support him and even offered to go to work again (currently a stay at home mom and homeschool our 9 and 7 year olds) so he could go to school full time. He told his step mom and when she realized he was actually serious she told him that he couldn't become a pilot without a degree and he was a college dropout. I dont think anyone else is taking it seriously either. Its sad he only has my support but i think thats enough for him to push through.

For me, the covert narcissist comes across as a people pleaser. They like to be in the spotlight to get the validation that they crave for, as other narcissists but at the same time, they pretend to be humble, simple, generous, over giving. The covert narcissist will take time to build a relationship/friendship with you. During this period, they will show their admiration and their devotion by helping you with everything that is you need. They will try to convince you that you are soulmates and that they understand you deeply. At the same time, you will see them being overly altruistic, maybe helping society by engaging in charities, activism. They feed the poor, take care of the homeless. All this makes you think how lucky you are for having met such a beautiful soul. You want to be by their side for ever. However, soon you notice how much they enjoy being invited in galas to talk about their achievements. But they don’t admit that. They still play the humble guy who doesn’t want all this. Who is beyond money, beyond fame and recognition, who wants to share the floor with other people. But their acts don’t match their words. You come to realise that this selfless soul is actually doing whatever it takes to be in the centre of attention. When you do something together be it at work or at home, they want to control everything about it. They just exerce their control in a more polite and implicit way, making you believe that your voice was heard whereas in reality you did what they wanted you to do. Covert narcissists have a smooth way of leading you on. They don’t shout, they don’t give orders. They are master actors. They convince you that you are together in this. What makes them a narcissist is that when the time comes for them to use you in order to draw certain benefits, they will do it without a second thought and you are not going to believe in your eyes. And when you stand up for yourself and raise your voice against them calling them for their phony identity, then you will see their rage for the first time and the mask will fall. Covert narcissists manipulate less with rage/exhibiting superiority and more with people pleasing behaviour/playing the eternal victim. They are not aggressive as overt narcissists. They are more cunning. What they both have in common is self-centered ness and lack of empathy. In the case of coverts, it will take you longer to find out.They knew what they wanted to get out of you from the beginning. They created a whole theatre play to fool you about who they are and their true motives. You will trust them with all your heart but when the time comes for them to prove their loyalty by choosing your bond over their personal gain, they will choose the latter with no remorse, without even taking any responsibility. Unlike the overt narcissist, they will have an eloquent excuse for doing so, rationalizing why they had to f@ck you over. They will pretend to be sorry about it because this is something that matches the image of modesty that they want to project but in reality they are not sorry at all. You will see them partying with your own money when they said they didn’t have enough to pay you back. You will see them being unfair and untrustworthy to other people as well. When the mask of the victim will fall, you will see the cruel smile of a perpetrator who managed to get what they want without deserving it. If you decide to unmask them run for your life. Moreover, People wonder why they end up hurt, seriously hurt, and even killed for their own actions. Cheating is a choice and there’s simply a lot of ignorance in the process.... Thank you so much for helping me out Metaspyhub@gmail. com. Your advice and services helped me so much. You are a lifesaver !!!

@@DellaWatson-cz3mq plzzz conspiracy theorist articulate what your trying to convey, bc up to my knowledge this post was abt a sisters concern for her lil sister to fit in with society. Yess life in moderation has always been the best policy, but like the government I see you have your own agenda.😂

As someone who suffers from a chronic condition that has caused physical limitations, I am inspired by Robert's commitment to writing Sublime and his notion of amor a fate. I'm reminded of all that I can still do and that everything I've experienced is a purposeful part of my journey. Thank you!

Great Conversation The Word of God says some of what you say this way: Overcome evil with good...also we as humans are born with all these awkward insecurities etc. and need awareness of our purpose and to walk in that purpose while here on earth . It (our purpose) is given to us as we explore , believe and apply the Word of God to our lives. Many times God uses rock bottom situations to move us towards that purpose because HE created us for HIS PURPOSE NOT OUR OWN. WE ARE FULFILLED AND HAPPY AND ENERGETIC WHEN LIVING OUT HIS PURPOSE HE DESIGNED FOR EACH OF US.

I love what he said about love. This is what good people feel towards those around them, not just their husbands and wives and children.

Robert, I don't know if you'll read this... You are the most fascinating living writer who has touched and changed my life and mind. I am chocked up with just the thought of you leaving us. Your impact was HUGE on this earth. Thank you for existing! 🙏🏾

How is it not natural to be happy for other’s success. Perhaps more so for some then others. The sound of others joy is laughter. Laughter is infectious.

So true! I learned about this years ago from the tickle me elmo toy, whose laughter brought me joy. Watching him laugh until he fell over made me feel better. His laugh was more real than most human fake laughter, which made me feel sick to my stomach! Now I get that same joy from a bird named tico! Watch him here on youtube and you will laugh with tears of joy.
