    I find the only solution is no contact, these covert narcissists will eventually ruin your life. Just quietly get away and stay away from them.

    My mom used to do the “I’m only trying to tell you the truth” thing to me. Until I started saying-your truth isn’t my truth. 😂 she hated that. Lol

    My mother is a covert narc. In my teens she would say to other family members in front of me, “Oh I always wished Graham had an older brother!” It’s a genius insult because it sounds like she cares about me but is actually saying that I can’t get by in the real world without someone holding my hand. - I went no contact about five years ago, even legally changed my last name. Best thing I ever did!

    Chances are, if you have been with your spouse a while, and you have been reading up on NPD, you will know. The coin would have dropped. The question is then, now what? The moment you realize you have been dealing with a narcissist, that you have been experiencing severe confusion due to all the gaslighting, mind games, the punishing cognitive dissonance, you are one step away from transcending into a more enlightened version of yourself. From seeing a new world. Although, your immediate reaction might be one of added confusion, hopelessness, anger, fear, regret, lack of trust in your own judgement, and a lack of trust in humanity. You may feel the black cloud which is the representation of the worst things human beings are capable of, will forever loom over you. How can you ever trust again? Be happy again? All that may be true. But it only gets better, things only go uphill from here, if you allow it. If you keep looking forwards, and moving forwards. It's ok to look back from time to time, through the rear view mirror, but primarily keep the forward movement going. As long as you keep your head up, and don't give up, your newfound knowledge will guide you to better destinations. The collective consciousness is now there to support you, to guide you. Just don't shut it out, let it in, and trust your instincts and maintain a positive leaning attitude. Do that, and you will start enjoying life again. Even struggles which may come your way from then on, you will find value in, humor in, fun in. You are living life again, and much more fulfilling this time around. Additionally, Want to monitor someone? I nominate Metaspyhub@gmail. com, he's excellent professional in the area of marital investigation, i nominate him because he tapped my narcissist partner cell phone from distance i'm able to monitor all her Internet activities remotely in my phone...

  • @albertoayala9882

    One of the most common phrases: "stop taking everything personally" really beats you down and makes you question yourself and 100% correct about how actions speak louder than words. If they say "i love you" but you have to explain how they're actions arent showing those words? chances are, you're dating a covert narcissist.

    All victims of any abuse should have their adrenal gland function tested!!!Go to your healthcare practitioner and ask for a cortisol and 😢 DHEA test. We often develop secondary adrenal insufficiency due to sustained extremely high levels of cortisol released in response to the abuse which the adrenal glands cannot sustain in the long-term; they "short circuit" and you end up with very low or low levels of cortisol & DHEA which results in exhaustion and brain fog as well as a myriad of other symptoms. Get tested-- I did and low and behold I have secondary adrenal insufficiency.😢

    The fact that he made me feel petty had me forgetting to check if he was. He seems to be the nicest guy, people would tell me and congratulate me on my beautiful family. Thanks to you, Michelle, I wised up and left. I got things ready and got rid of my stuff. I hid it under the guise of going on a road trip to visit family. The family I was going to visit knew I was going to stay with them. He turned around and told me if I left, I wouldn't get back on his house, and he would change the locks. I quickly took my kids and pup. I filled an R.O. and divorced him.

    It's hard enough to trust people to begin with, but after dealing with a covert narcissist, my trust in people especially women is pretty much dead.

    My husband's mom is a narcissist. She made spicy food when he had bad gallbladder. I told him tell her not to make spicy food for u. He said I don't want to ruin the relationship with her. I was so shocked how could he telling her dont cook spicy food ruin their relationship

    I was raised by an extremely covert narcissistic mother. If I had a dollar for every time I heard how wonderful my mother is from people who have casually met her I could have retired a couple of decades ago. We, as 3 boys, learned early on that you do NOT bring friends (especially girlfriends) over to our house unless one has taken at least 3 months to properly coach these people on what to expect. I did it this way, and I have to say that it worked too...my mom never wasted any time demonstrating just how right I was. My ex-wife still refers to my mother as "Satan".

    This was right on. My covert use to make fun of me when out in public. I didn't realize he was trying to eat away at my self esteem. He also use to show action but his words were hurtful. I didn't realize that it was form of manipulation. Now that we're no longer in a romantic relationship, I swear it's like I have to unlearn and relearn everything. It's a mental/emotional roller coaster 😞!!!!!!! He stills try to gaslight and manipulate me. We have to be cordial, we have a son together.

  • @gabrielavilla7308

    My mom had too little self awareness and self control to get away with being a covert narcissist.

    Yep. They fall for that "they're amazing" BS every time. I just lost who I thought was a friend over this. He's trying to help you. No he isn't, he's emotionally manipulating and abusing me. She had the nerve to tell me not to yell at him. I told her to eff off. If you abuse me, I will fight back. I don't care if I look like the crazy one. He's mean as hell but not blatantly. I laughed at his apology in the 3rd person. I kicked him out of the house. He's such a POS, worthless human being. I know exactly who and what he is. I did change me and I grew up and I made my life much better and then kicked him to the curb. I was able to get off drugs and learn to do everything in a wheelchair so I no longer needed him. He controlled through his actions. By aggravating me and frustrating me and by making me, the one in the wheelchair, do all the work. That backfired because I got so much confidence that I no longer needed him. Yep, no support from friends. So I just wrote off the friends. I'm done. If you can't support me then you can go eff yourself. I don't believe ANYTHING the ex says. How do you know when they're lying, their mouth is open. Narcs are incapable of love, incapable of communication, incapable of empathy or remorse. I'm being who and what I want to be without him. I give myself the love and approval I need. I am the only one who can truly love me the way I deserve to be loved. And I will never leave me. It doesn't get better than that.

    When I was a 10 my aunt & uncle separated. I always took changes like this hard. She was my moms sister and he was my favorite uncle hands down. He was tall, big, burley, loving, funny. To everyone, EVERYONE he was the life of the party.

    I am 40 years old and I discovered that my mother is covert narcissist. All my life I was living with my false self, because she didn’t let me be myself. I couldn’t express my real emotions. But I am on the way to healing now 🙂🙌🌸💫

    I've been blessed with your support for over 5 years, after a 40 plus year marriage I'm finally going back to find myself 😢. Thanks to you! I just found out today after speaking with my neighbor, who is also going through a divorce and leaving a narcissistic wife. I will be sharing your UA-cam channel with him. Sometimes "men are overlooked" respectfully speaking.
