My partner Narcissist is so lucky with money. I think it's the fact that he believes so much that he deserves money and success that makes the law of attraction successful. He deceives a lot of people in order to sell, he lies compulsively, he even steals a cake from the supermarket.
he has a crap load of money and needs to steal snacks? it's probably not the food that they're after but the gratification of stealing it from a organization
Every black person needs to watch this video. We keep losing because we are too real. This system is not made for us. Nigerians are the most successful black group because they know how to manipulate reality (i.e. scam culture).

I want to thank Mini for this wonderful lecture, and of course, my thanks to the professor too. You have described beautifully how narcissists can achieve success, but you have not said why narcissists are doomed to it. Creating a fantasy in which the narcissist is the best, irreplaceable, loved (the narcissist is unable to distinguish success from love) takes too much energy. It is an endless hell. Becoming truly the best of the best is the only way to get out of this hell. If you are the best - you are the best. You do not need to create a fantasy in which you will be the best. A great example is our Mini, who achieved worldwide popularity with the support of the professor. If Mini has a narcissistic disorder, she does not need to fantasize that she is popular and loved, she is.
I don"t know if Dr. Sam Vaknin.refers to politicians, but the Narcs i know that have thrived , are really hard workers, not neccessarily smart but they work really hard because they don t care for anything/anybody else and they get excited by antagonism...they spend most of their time in working and obtaining their goals.
@@anika_h My psychopath of an older brother, had the 'perception/image' that he was a 'hardworker'/'smart', don't know how getting 'good grades' is worth it if they are talking about shapes in 5th grade.. Lame. Not worth bothering with really. Because I was not 'compliant' or as mean as them, or sm, I got labeled with 'fasd'/autism. The world hurt me do to that.

Thank you very much for the great lecture Mr. Vaknin.I cant wait for the day when we all turn ourselves into narcissistic zombie cyborgs,for example like The Borg from Star Trek🤣
The ones I know are skilled at being victims. Faking illnesses, provoking people into mistreating them to claim victimhood and get attention, etc. They can really put you in jeopardy by changing people's perception of you and perception is reality....

Professor Vaknin, you used the term " Manipulation of symbols in fantastic spaces." Can you please explain how you came up with this term? you explained to some degree, but does this have a philosophical background? If you did make this term, can you discuss this more in a video? and if you borrowed it, can you give references for further reading regarding the term, not specifically narcissism. Thank you.
They take more than they give. They convince, they pretend, they promise and if they don't get what they want, they do the same thing elsewhere.

Sounds like a sociopath. Maybe you should see the signs?
I didn't think there were red flags until I read that he's a cake thief
As an narcissist i hate spending money on food. And i have a lot of cash. I would also Steal food if that would be easy.

So, so true. It’s clear as day, to me. Thank you for saying this!
Thank you, Prof. Sam Vaknin.
Thank you Professor! That is really it! What a brilliant explanation of these days!
As a software dev i just want to buy small place in the countryside and harvest my own food. We do nothing relevant for reality.

Its like living in hell being with one of them 😢

May the force be with you in these neocon feudal economic reality times.
this should be learned in schools....
Seriously read most of this transcript before watching. Fascinating insight

@@samvaknin thank you Sam, I am learning so much. I have been oblivious to the narcissistic abuse I have been experiencing.
@@samvaknin I have a possibly malignant covert narcissist/turned psychopath with tons of support/supply hacking into my computer/internet. How to stop?
Thank you 😍
Narcissists are Successful by obtaining money and power .
Narcissist is good but without hurting people .
Nascicist are never good because they always hurt people... This video is a romantizied view of narcisists
Pls make more videos on this, we really need to hear more about this topic 😮

Great explanation 😂❤
Thank you very much for the great lecture Mr. Vaknin.I cant wait for the day when we all turn ourselves into narcissistic zombie cyborgs,for example like The Borg from Star Trek🤣
What an interesting model for thinking about these things! How does it apply to a covert narcissist who isn't successful in the world?
S/he is successful at undermining, plagiarizing, sabotaging, and destroying.
The ones I know are skilled at being victims. Faking illnesses, provoking people into mistreating them to claim victimhood and get attention, etc. They can really put you in jeopardy by changing people's perception of you and perception is reality....
can I fake being a narcissist?
Don t marry, stay solos!
After surviving narc abuse and spending 3+ years rebuilding myself, yeah I admit I'm afraid to be with ANYONE else. I REALLY like having a "me".
Amen ✨️
Listening to Sam def helped me along. Learned so much from this man so I still watch just cause he's quite fascinating.

Psychopathic narcissist.

Funny...... just discovered this clip, & Alice In Wonderland is presently performing on stage (ballet) in Sydney
I'm convinced. Where do I sign up for narcissist training classes?
Well there you go, if you want to be successful, become a narcissist.
I wanted to say, you can just cosplay as one, but at some point you will get lost in the sauce. I am challenged everyday at my job by delulu people expecting me to go along with their delusions. It can feel like drowning
