  • The narcissist first converts you into his mommy, a maternal figure. He then tries to transform you into a transitional object. But this is mission impossible: the role of the transitional object is to allow the child to safely separate from mother. Disappointed and frustrated, the narcissist devalues and discards you.

    In my serious relationships, I have felt like a mother when enough time had passed. In my other relationships/situationships, a doll. I even told these men that I was not a doll or a sugar baby without knowing anything about the psychology behind it. Now I know all my relationships haven't been healthy. I'm glad I have no entanglements with these individuals. They are exhausting...

    100%. 33 years later, In walks a first love and boom a covert Narcassist. I was Nieve to this all those years ago but now he is 60, failing health and came back to play his game. I was well conversed of his framing, word construct, strange ways. Expressed himself like a text book. I politely declined engagement. 🙏

    Prof. Vaknin! What timing! I’ve been listening to you for about a year now dealing with a narcissistic abusive former fiancé, from whom I am healing. Just two nights ago, I watched Citizen Kane just by chance and had not seen it in years. Instantly saw all of the narcissistic tendencies he showed, and noticed how his disorder evolved throughout his years and culminated in his caging the once-free bird inside his “Xanadu” fantasy. The way he slapped her and said “I am not sorry.” How he didn’t want to let her go. How he manipulated the papers and news to make his possession look good. How his eyes looked so empty as she walks down the hallway.
    It’s truly tragic when we are shown from the beginning how he was ripped from his mother. I can tell her character meant well, but she was seemingly so cold in sending him off having packed his bags for days before. She shows no warmth, but the boy obviously adored her. He had no chance to become his own identity before she abandoned him, essentially.
    I think about my ex, who after a year And a half relationship proposed to me and moved my twin daughters and me into a gorgeous new home with him….only to find out months later that he was still married and hiding his wife in a house in Arizona.
    I left him of course but it has been severely traumatic-the entire relationship was a LIE.
    BUT his mother is in a hospital with schizophrenia. Even if he doesn’t have that-he must have felt abandoned AND he was never able to individuate, he always was stuck in the child’s mind wanting validation.
    Well I’m no expert and I have zero desire to fix him BUT your reference, Mr Vaknin, to the Citizen Kane movie definitely resonates with me and I wanted to let you know that
    Allll that you’ve been teaching me through your videos is making sense in my mind and truly helping me because when I watch Citizen Kane on Tuesday of this week, I almost heard your voice in my head.
    Thank you!

    It really sucks how emotionally unstable society is as a collective. Not many can tolerate the PAIN of LIFE anymore. These videos are PRICELESS and play a huge roll in SURVIVAL. Luckily, some have the ability to understand this. Narcissism plays the primary role of EVERY ISSUE we have in society. Narcissism is the KEY to transhumanism. The STAGNATION of the HUMAN EXPERIENCE not the EVOLUTION.

    Another interesting consideration is how, while Narcissists do not keep the ‘teddy bear’ literal through adulthood, some Borderlines indeed do! It is common to find adult individuals with borderline personality disorder who continue to collect or connect to stuffed toys.. some even becoming extremely attached to them.. as like a child of 2-5. Here, we do not often see this characteristic

  • @MrIcumbia
    @MrIcumbia Рік тому +7

    Question: If the partner is both the mom and a transitional object, why is s/he discarded? Is it because of the idea that the partner can never be an acceptable substitute for the mom and mostly because of the pull towards indivuation/separation? But then why would they want to seek someone to partner with in the first place if no one can replace mom and no object can stand in the way of individuation/separation? It seems like a futile endeavor by a quite " split self "

      Contrary to popular belief, many humans don't have the skills necessary to help/wait for an alteration of the Narcissist. Program them. So they run amuck, while we sit, fearful, rejecting them, attempting to figure them out and deal with our emotions.
      They CAN change.... they can be altered. A re-programming is very possible. In time... we will see this. This illness is far more prominent in society than the majority can ever imagine.

    Dear Prof Vaknin ,
    from minute 40 you address the fact that for some narcissists a third party (lover / playmate) is not included in the shared fantasy as an object of triangulation but as a transitional object.
    How can another object , who also represents the mother ( like all people ) for the narcissist , be a transitional object at the same time ?
    Does this 3rd party remain constant in its function ? Or does it also go through the typical course of the narcissistic circle and does the 4-S rule also apply there ?
    Can you please elaborate on this ?

    Incredible video, Sam… I admittedly watched it 3 times with many rewinds to gather every bit of knowledge.
    One question I had was… have you witnessed, in the devalue/discard stage, or really anywhere after the heights of live bombing/idealization, that the narcissist begins to feel disgust at not only emotional but physical intimacy? I have heard of narcissists going from extremely sexual/emotionally showy/cuddling,kissing, all affection obsessed to completely disgusted by so much as the touch of his partner’s arm on his back/complete end of any sexual activity and even feelings similar to the repulsion of incestual relations as the relationship moves past the novelty phase. I wonder if subconsciously, whether female or male narcissist, the significant other as mother causes disgust and repulsion at any hint of sexual/romantic relationship. Would love to hear your thoughts in regards to this…
