    Narcissists don't actually regret losing you. They don't have the capacity for that kind of regret. They might regret investing time or resources in you, but they don't emotionally invest in anyone enough to regret losing them. Such regret would diminish their high regard for themselves. All people are replacable and disposable to them. The idea that they will regret losing you, or anyone else for that matter, is a bit of empathic projection. As is the idea that you can get revenge since they will never see the justice in it. They are always the victim and never the villain in their mind. Consequently, there are only two things you can do. One is to leave and never go back. In which case you will have abandoned them and they are still the victim in their minds. Or, two, stick around to make them miserable enough to leave by reversing the roles. In which case they are still the victim, but at least you will have returned some of the misery.

The key, though, is knowing when someone is ready to receive that help and genuinely appreciate it. As you mentioned, gratitude is so important-both to those who help and to a higher power. It’s a delicate balance, but in the end, helping others with wisdom and care makes a difference. Thanks again for your thoughtful comment!

    Psychopathy, Sociopathy and Narcissism are NOT "disorders", they are PERSONALITIES and they are very aware of how toxic, manipulative and negative they are.

    • @StoicPathways28
      @StoicPathways28 День тому

      Thank you for sharing your perspective. However, according to psychology experts, traits like narcissism, psychopathy, and sociopathy are classified as personality disorders, not just personality types. Individuals with these disorders often lack empathy and engage in manipulative behaviors, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are fully aware of the harm they cause or that they can easily change their behavior. It’s important that we approach these issues with understanding and from a scientific standpoint, to ensure that those affected by such behaviors receive the necessary support.

    WOW, this is one of the best videos explaining a narcissist. This is just a part of my long nightmare. My husband and I were mentally and verbally abused by our evil narcissistic demon of an adult daughter, For years. It got so bad that the stress cause an emotional breakdown for my husband, One day he started crying uncontrollably with him gasping for air ( this is a guy that never cried because of his upbringing of men don't cry ) He was asking what he did wrong on raising her to be so evil then he collapsed and took his last breath 4 years and 11 months ago. She has always had anger issues since she was a teen, but we chopped it up as just being a teen and hormons since she seemed to be a very well-rounded person overall. We noticed the changes in her as she got older and thought she was bipolar. But it was too late for us to get her help because she was over 18. She wouldn't amit that she has mental problems and get help. By the time I learned about narcissism, it was too late. The trauma damage was already done. In those horrible years of walking on eggshells, she had us under her control because she was kicked out of her ex-husband's home for stepping out on him and the trauma she caused him. She ended back with us because she was homeless and 3 months pregnant with another's man child. So, of course, we took her in. She was lying from the start, telling us her marriage failed because he was abusing her physically. I know different now. We tried to help her, going through her pregnancy and the birth, then she couldn't handle being a mother. She wouldn't do what a mother should do, and we ended up raising our grandson until he was 6 years old. She hunted down for a new supply because my husband became disabled and couldn't work anymore. we couldn't give her a free ride anymore. We asked her to start paying her own way because if she didn't, we would end up homeless. That pissed her off, and she really got bad. She finally found a nieve 24 year old guy, 6 years younger than her, Within 3 months, she manipulated and lied to him, and they moved in together. Then, she trapped him by getting pregnant. My husband and I ended up homeless with her stalking us and still messing with our heads using our grandson against us. Then my husband died. She destroyed me beyond repair. I have been abandoned by everyone... She made sure of that with her lies.. I went no contact, but it is slowly killing me from the inside out. I can't have a relationship with my grandson. I am struggling to make any friends. I just can't function anymore. I'm the one who is at fault..... somehow. And you know what.. I'm starting to believe I must be. I'm just a failure and a lost cause.. I can not heal . It hurts so much. I'm so tired of trying. I just want to die.

    • @StoicPathways28
      @StoicPathways28 День тому

      I was deeply moved reading your story, Terry. What you and your husband went through is truly unbearable. There are no words to describe the pain you are enduring. Losing your life partner due to the trauma inflicted by your own daughter is an immeasurable loss. I understand that you are feeling incredibly lonely and hopeless. You have been betrayed by the person you loved most, deeply wounded by someone who should have been your greatest source of comfort. The feelings of abandonment, isolation, and inability to heal are completely understandable given your circumstances. However, dear Terry, please never blame yourself. You are not at fault. You did everything you could with the love and responsibility of a mother and a wife. What happened was something no one wanted, and it was beyond your control. Please remember that even in the darkest of nights, there is always a glimmer of hope. You still have yourself, and you deserve happiness. The healing journey may be long and difficult, but please never give up. Seek support from friends you trust, from therapists, or from a community of people who have gone through similar experiences. You are not alone on this path. Allow yourself to grieve, to feel the pain, but don't let it consume your life. Find small joys in life, take care of yourself, and nurture your soul. And always remember that you are a strong person, you have overcome the most difficult challenges, and you can absolutely get through this dark time. I send you my best wishes, Terry. I truly hope you will soon find peace and happiness in your life.

      I feel your pain. I don't know where you live but this might be a way out for you. Go to your doctor and tell them what is happening and ask for help. Your Dr will have resources for you to get help. They can find you shelter where the narcissistic demon can't find you. From there they will help you with everything , like food, clothes, medical help, support groups, and even help you find a lawyer to get access to some of your money and belongings. Sadly hiding in your room, which I understand way too well is only going to make him worst. I feel for you, I know how hard it is but you have to get away from this person. The stress alone will not help with your chronic health problems. It's going to make it worst. It won't be easy and your going to go through alot of crap, but you can do it!!! You NEED to. You are at least aware of what he is. I didn't know what my narcissistic demon was until it was much too late. I lost my entire life. Sending soft hugs and lots of prayers your way. I really hope you will get out.

    1. Do nothing 2. Leave 3. Set boundaries

      Hi @julianawellman2235, those are all valid options, and the best choice often depends on the specific relationship and your personal circumstances. Sometimes, doing nothing might be appropriate if the situation is temporary or low-impact. Other times, leaving might be the healthiest choice for you, especially if the relationship is causing significant harm. Setting boundaries is often crucial, regardless of whether you choose to stay or leave. It's about defining what you're willing to tolerate and communicating that clearly. Thanks !

    I was involved with a sect of Buddhism in England back in the early 2000s - where they constantly preached at us to Cherish Others and that the root of unhappiness is cherishing the self. I left that organisation a long time ago - much better without that dogma

      Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s true that, in some cases, organizations can convey messages that disrupt the balance between caring for ourselves and others. Cherishing others is important, but we also need to love and take care of ourselves to lead a happy and fulfilling life. Leaving an organization that doesn’t align with you is a brave step, and finding peace and freedom is truly valuable. Wishing you continued joy on your own path!

    Ladies and gentlemen please do not fall for this fraudster for this liar. Do you know how many marriages and relationships this person has tallied? Do you even know if this is a real person or AI? What I find amusing is how everyone comes on here and complains about their narcissist wife or their narcissist husband that they left while completely ignoring the fact that they admit to nothing in the failure of that relationship they place all of the blame on this evil narcissist person and the owner of this channel gets another marriage or relationship destroyed because they knew you would take the bait as your excuse. Narcissism is a very rare personality disorder it is not as plentiful as it is on UA-cam. Go get some counseling and realize sometimes two people should have never been together in the first place

    The court systems are full of narcissist lawyers the judges the cops all of it it's full of narcissists so don't think you're going to get justice cuz that doesn't exist in the world we live in today The only justice you're going to get is with inside of your own thoughts controlling live by and understanding that is higher themselves and that's when you have to turn to God because that's the only thing that's going to make sense when the crazy world that we're up against and it's only going to get worse it's a cycle of life because the world has not accepted and de-attached greed selfishness anger and many of other things until we learn how to remove that from the world that we all share we will always come to destruction to start back over to try to get it right but people are stupid to have an accepted this and it's only been in the history for thousands of years over and over and over what's causing it to greed that sits inside of each and every one of us that we have to all learn how to put at bay and not allow it to overcome our emotions and feelings and turn into actions evil actions not good ones that's what we need to work on it's the good ones May God be with us

      You bring up a profound point-history indeed seems to repeat itself with greed and selfishness driving destruction. It’s interesting how much of humanity's challenge lies in overcoming our inner battles before we can fix external systems. Your message about turning to God and focusing on good actions resonates deeply.

I sit here in a moment of life that I am unfamiliar with yet have fun a great deal of time trying to make an understanding and a path for myself to stay on that's justified simplified and spiritually connected yet at the same time I feel completely and sincerely challenged onto the moment that I live seeking an understanding and a belief that has evidence and proof to back it put that being said I have come to the understanding there is no proof and never will be yeah I do not let go of the spiritual belief that I have gained access to in 56 years it's stronger and more believable than anything that I have ever experienced in this world and you would think that would be enough to be able to relax and enjoy life for what it is but what is it and why is it maybe we will all find out on judgment day as the book says.

Sometimes, the lack of tangible proof leaves us feeling uncertain, but I believe that personal experiences and deeply held beliefs are the most powerful things. The spiritual values you've built over the years certainly don’t need to be proven scientifically or with evidence.

    It’s not only intimate relationships that they attack, they will attack their Mother and their children. I know because I am under Covert attack by my son but he doesn’t know that I know. The counter attacks stop him., He can’t react for fear of exposure and he will never destroy his Fake False image. His absence is my blessing., see him only in instances where he can show everyone he’s the son of the year. Fake as hell! It doesn’t bother me anymore and I just recently became aware. It all makes sense now/. Behavior since about 16 was very disrespectful and disturbing at times. I fully understandNPD thanks to Pro. Sam Vaknin. He could be violent and rages right in your face. All the silence and Bread crumbing wow now the behavior is identified. Ok I don’t even care anymore. His distance is better for me. I feel sorry for his new girlfriend I know she’s gonna suffer. I recently found out that his previous girlfriend was seriously abused for 15 years She just told me. So much emotional and psychological abuse. I was shocked so now I can support her ❤ and support my grandson who witnessed it. I’m infuriated by that. I also understand why she couldn’t tell out of fear because I used to be very protective of him. My son is gonna pay for that. He will no longer have any opportunity to use me for his supply or Faking the relationship in front of family and friends. He is in for a rude awakening!
