I disagree. There is something within the target that the narcissist is attracted to whether it be physical beauty, talents (singing, acting, successful business person), or a brokenness (broken from death, abandonment, illness, an emotional vulnerability) - it doesn’t matter what trauma the targeted person has experienced, even if sexually or physically abused as a child, it’s the genuine kindness and a light from within that attracts the narcissist. Sadly, the malignant covert narcissist is the chameleon who moves throughout the family, church, school, business or community manipulating people and situations to gain power through gaslighting and coercive control. It’s ALL about winning for the narcissist…..at ANY cost.

I have so much gratitude to Dr Ramani for giving me back my sanity. I remember those early days listening to her glossary videos with the definition of each term I.e. gaslighting. Had no idea what any of it meant while I was codependent and enmeshed with my mother as a starting point, and then repeating the same pattern in other relationships too. It was draining, confusing, hurtful and extremely disempowering. To feel shame and unworthiness is a cruel experience and we all deserve better, including the abusers - but for those surviving it, please know that it is not your job to fix anybody or to tolerate their dysfunctional behaviour, however you can wish them well from a distance.

I think about what can i change in me, why do I do it etc, but I also simply think there are a lot of horrid people out there marauding around looking for people to latch on to, because other people got fed up with them. And because I moved to a new city (known for being unfriendly), & I'm an individual with my own style & ideas (instead of faking what I like & think to fit in with the crowd).

Same with me. Minus the "7 autoimmune diseases." I'm 52 and had a come-to-Jesus moment when my narcissistic father was diagnosed with cancer last year. I realized NONE of my biological family gave a duck about me. 52 years. I've been propping up everyone else. :( To the detriment of my own finances and my own little family. This year, I went no-contact with ALL of my mother's side of the family (99% of my dad's side is already dead). It's been eye-opening. I also yeeted a bunch of narcissistic friends who'd been leeching off me for DECADES. It's been ten months, and life is still difficult, but oh so much more peaceful. You're right about the confusion.... it's been decades of gaslighting. It will take time to re-frame all the lies. :( Every day I am no-contact, I realize some other truth that was kept from me. :( Eye-opening. Life-altering. No-contact has been survival for me.

Although I remain forEver a Deeply Spiritual Seeker, and empathic always wanting to fix, help, or rescue, after an eye opening bucket of ice water in the face shocker with very toxic predatory individuals in various Religious settings, I am currently a Loner , always reading and researching . I spend a LOT of time in Nature, excellent cup of coffee, enjoying sunrises , and occasional sunsets, loving to throw seed to birds, rabbits, squirells, and chipmunk squirealls, maybe enjoying a really good book, I tend to Steer Clear of humans at this point. I most likely Will steer completely clear of most humans for a Really Long time . I noticed I tend to want to believe the beautiful sounding, often engaging promises of toxic people and the narcissists in my life so until I figure this Out, best to Step Carefully !

I find people get very confused between emotion and a conscience. Psycopaths are not emotionless, but they do lack a conscience 'the complex of ethical and moral principles that controls or inhibits the actions or thoughts of an individual.' Psychopaths feel emotions, as do narcissists. Some narcissists have a lack of empathy and some moral deficiencies, but do not fulfill the complete criteria for psychopathy. Always good to hear Dr Ramani's explanations.

The irony about attracting them is, if you truly wanna weed out the ones that you feel are putting on a show, then you can always talk about this subject. Once they know you know, and they start to recognize some of the characteristics that you’re mentioning to them in themselves, they know that they can’t fool you, and then they will leave you alone leaving room for someone that will appreciate you. Now, sometimes they will shake in on their head like they understand you and you see it in them, and they refused to recognize it. That’s when you have to put up your own boundary and say to yourself that it is OK to say no. My core values are transparency, integrity, consistency, self-awareness, and accountability. If somebody doesn’t have these instilled in their core values, they very well could fit the narcissistic mold. Thank you so much Dr. Ramani for saving all of our lives.

@ consciously they know, but they use their unconscious mindset to make decisions. It’s like the child inside of them makes the decision while the adult is sleeping. Eventually the adult will wake up and realize what the child is doing, but the narcissist has to hit rock bottom hard and loose all of their enablers for this to happen. Once this happens they have to self reflect and become more self aware and accountable. Then they will begin to exercise integrity and eventually become consistent and eventually more transparent.

I think one good way to find out who is the narcissist is by having someone that’s sincerely authentic be the leader in a room and see who tries to compete with them or to win them over because they like to win over that person so that they can find out the dirt on that person to put them downway that you can find out about a narcissist is find out what their life is on a social scale.

I appreciate so much Doc Ramani, I bought her last book and is great. However I suggest to listen and maybe interview Doc Peter Salerno too. He is very skilled and well formed on narcissism and cluster B personalities, he gives even a different perspective on some aspects like supposed shame of narcs, fragile ego and so on, based on scientific studies that really worth to listen.

They don't have shame or guilt. They are not insecure deep down. They believe they are better than everyone else. If they are caught doing something bad, they are angry that they were embarrassed, but they are not sorry, do not have guilt, and are never ashamed. Those were new points other therapists aren't saying. The narc I know fits this understanding completely.

The embarrassment is not shame, it's more of being in a rage because they were caught and they feel like "how dare you put a chink in my public image! No one is supposed to know I do this when no one is watching!"

No empathy belittles flips everything back at me. He is always the victim. 4 years arguing flips back at me emotionally I learned to control my emotions it makes him bad. Empath vs narcissistic spiritual war. No spiritual connection for them cause they think they know everything and we can’t fix them. Cause they don’t see problem with self so we can’t help people that don’t want help. Married to one for 24 years working on way out. Thanks for sharing.

At the 3:09 , Let's also not forget that to the outside world and extended family members, they hold a steady "balanced" personality around them to further gaslight you (the extended folks will unintentionally gaslight you) that they are decent people and something must be up with you, you are the problem therefore is what they may conclude!!

I hear the same things repeatedly being said about narcissism. I am not a psychiatrist nor trained in the field of the mind. I am human and I live in this world. In my life experiences I have been placed in a spectator position and more times than not an unknowable innocent participant in soical psychopathic narratives. Now it seems to me that it has come to this narrative at least from my world view. The Super Structure of any society is the core relationship and reflection of the way members of that society interact as a norm with very specific narrow moral codes based on the acceptance of a picked specific personality trait that reflects the ideal submission of group identity and enforcement of that submission. Slaver in the United States is a prime example of this.

If we think about it in practical terms, the fact that they feel okay with putting others down to feel better is evidence that they lack the ability to feel okay on their own. Take away their supplies and watch how they function then.
@elizabethcurrie492016 күн бұрын
@ They could be just feeding their grandiosity because that is their focus and obsession. They are never shameful; an exposure of a misdeed leads to anger not shame. When their ego’s are attacked they respond with anger, not hurt like someone who was insecure would react. No shame; no insecurity-just arrogance.

And actually, I wasn’t at first attracted - they spotted my low self esteem - that’s like gold dust to them - and low self esteem is very easy prey - we succumb to that initial love bombing - then we work hard to keep up the pleasing - trying to make their gaslighting OK - making excuses for ghosting - cos we are grateful for their shitty breadcrumbs - until we are empty, finished - and have to suffer more watching them being so very sweet and kind and generous to everyone else out there! Horrible- and then we have to recover - I do not see much evidence of their collapse - no ! It’s victims that collapse!
