As my families Empath , when I closed the door on them I was exhausted and very sad to have to fade away from them Mother Brother and Sister, Now after 2 1/2 years of no contact I would be a liar if I said that it doesn’t hurt . But the peace of mind is incredible now that I see it clearly, if they miss me well that’s ok ,and if they don’t miss me well that’s ok also 👍 But that being said I to brother Andrew , I look back and the evil pieces all fall into place. Your counseling is so very much appreciated God bless you my brother 🙏🏼🕊️💝
I am on the same boat like you. I cut my family out a few months ago. I am currently going through a divorce with my narc wife. My family were not there for me. None of them even texted or called to check on me while I am in a different continent by myself. Even though I am alone, I am more than happier now knowing that I do not feel the obligation to be fake around. I called them out on their selfish behavior and cut them loose. Now, I am focused on healing myself and my 7-year-old son. That is all i got
@@therooster6104 As a single parent myself. It’s would be much harder if the other parent is not like minded=conflict. I survived the teen years and so will you 🙏💜💐
As an empath I find it hard to comprehend the workings of the narcissist. How can they fake everything, thrive on chaos, pit people against each other, want fo destroy someone because of the light and kindness they have. If I hadn't experienced this evilness firsthand, I would not have believed it!
They can do this because it is their life's work, it's like their full time job 24/7 365 days a year!!!! They were pretty much born and molded this way from childhood!!!!
@@sandralindsay9739 Hey Sandra, I'll tell you how they can do it.. it all started when they they were very young 18 months old.. They were exposed to a very abusive environment, and or were praised non stop by one or both parents who were narcs. ( Either praised and told they were special and unique, or severally abused) .As they started to form their personalities, ( around 18 months old) the narc parent, prohibited them from forming their own personalities, by moulding them to be the same as the narc, through abuse and sickening control. They ( the child) through a defence mechanism, formed a false personality to cope with their natural psychological growth, and because they were so suppressed, and weren't taught or shown about compassion and empathy, theses traits were void in the personality forming process. As they grew up, They basically coppied the narc parent, and became a monster walking around in an empty shell. Their false personality became their personality, as their real personality had never developed. That's how they can treat ppl like crap, and they don't care, because they are not capable of feeling love, compassion or empathy. They have no self worth no self esteem, and see kindness as weakness. , it goes on and on.. I hope that's helped answer your question. 👍
But some of you don't detect bad people very well. And are so surprised when things dont end well. How many times do we hear how she only sees the good in people. That is a very dangerous way to live.
@be 1:08 verlymccollum8861 or they do see and feel the signs but when they already care about someone they go another mile, ending up hurt and harmed or....they will be so upset that they put their feet down with a bye.
@@skylarmontgomery6181 I also realized just how immature they are, especially some of the sewage that spewed out of their mouth, left me speechless... I can laugh now but not at the time!
Narcissists are a part of the karma i have had to overcome and defeat in this lifetime. From family members, bosses and friends , I was surrounded by them I have now overcome this karma. They will NEVER be a part of my life, EVER!! I am free! Yay!!
Think though; would you rather be able to feel every emotion and go through them slowly and grow as a person or be like a brick wall inside and step over people like humanity means nothing? I used to think it was a curse. But I’d rather be caring then empty inside like a psychopath or narcissist. ❤
You feel like it's a curse because it can be uncomfortable sensing things you'd rather not sense. But it is really a blessing especially going forward in the new world forming around us. ❤
@michelledale3334 I tend to agree and had to learn to moderate the caring feeling helping attributes until I have a sense that a person isn't just a soul sucking black hole
YOU, ANDREW! YOU TAUGHT ME ABOUT NARCESSISM! YOU WERE THE REASON I FOUND OUT!! You literally saved my life almost 3 years ago! Please never stop making these videos 😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤
I am an EMPATH,,, it has taken me into dark places, so badly did I want to help people. I’m Old now, I DO NIT REGRET, those times I was able to help,, WHAT I REGRET, is not having discernment in my personal relationships,, they took huge chunks of my life and heart. I didn’t know. Andrew WHAT YOU TEACH IS SO VERY IMPORTANT. GROWING UP,, we had no idea. So there are generations of DAMAGED PEOPLE, broken lives. Even causing deaths. Keep it up. I’m so very grateful. ❤
I've watched three narc's in my life collapse. A fourth is starting. All I had to do was live my own best life and do nothing against them. I am fortunate that these were friends or acquaintances and not love interests. For those who have love interest narcs, be strong and follow Andrew's advice. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but eventually you'll win.
My hope and prayer for them is that the destruction becomes visible to them and they change. It’s just an awful existence that leads to a horrible life.
I just divorced a narcissist. I am an empath. Years of giving and being manipulated and abused. He sucked my joy, my independence, my energy. He destroyed my life. Abandoned me suddenly to find new blood to suck on then wanted back in when he realized he had it easy with me. By then I had clarity and refused to take him back. Divorce was final 2 weeks ago. He is still trying to cause me pain and difficulty. I told him I see him for who he really is… I am healing and finding my footing in a world that feels unsafe and scary. My trust in people has been shaken to its core. He literally slithered away to his new source of supply…
What a message. It made me tear up. There is so much powerful positive energy in this video. I lived my life in others' people shoes. I did meet some people like me but my family was narcissistic including my adult son, my only child. I blamed myself for years because that was the message those I loved were giving me. Now I am alone but content, comfortable, and quietly happy.
I am an empath! When we are done we are completely done! Nothing they say or do will undo this. They lose us and our energy, it makes their world a cold hard place. We then take our energy and time to put on ourselves to replenish what was stolen from us. It takes time. We have to let the fog clear.
The narcissist destroyed me permanently. I’ll never be the same person again. That shiny bright light in my eyes is gone and I don’t know when it will ever come back.
It destroyed the old naive you. What comes back is a better, wiser version of you. Go no contact and do your homework on what really happened. All the best, we’ve been there too.🩷
Keep listening and learning from Andrew's videos. Watch them and rewatch them until your light shines bright again. AND IT WILL Your light is not gone. It had just been dimmed. And remember... You come first, second and third. Love yourself right now and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow...... Much love from someone who has been there❤❤❤❤
I hear you, but you can heal. I've been there more than enough times and yeah it's really painful. You can move forward research, look at Andrew's videos which are great but look into whatever resonates with your pain and start the journey of healing.Much blessings to you. ❤
Same. I don't trust anyone. Even when my logic says that I've observed and analysed a person long enough and that they are definitely a good person, my walls don't come down and my body keeps on being in an anxious state because I lost trust not only in others, but in myself. Narc also effectively destroyed my believe in HOPE. I don't know if I will ever regain it. I have decided to move countries and to go live with people who value community and not status and money. Maybe being surrounded by that will bring healing.
It never was. Narcissism has been around since the dawn of man. There has always been empaths, narcissists and psychopaths. And everyone in between. That's the polarity of man.
My impression is, that there is a never ending power competition around people. Solitude is bliss. I carefully chose my social surroundings like a warrior now. Amen to this video.
Absolutely true. When we figure them out, draw that line in the sand, then there is no turning back. The lesson was painful but I suspect it was part of our personal growth. These videos were fundamental to that growth. Thank you Andrew.
I figured it out about 4 years ago. Before that I didn’t really know what narcissism was. I became enlightened and finally realized that it wasn’t my fault.
ONE OF THE SADDEST THINGS IS THAT EVERY EMPATH I'VE MET HAS BEEN FORCED TO ENDURED UNIMAGINABLE CRUELTY AND SUFFERING THROUGHOUT MOST OF THEIR LIVES AT THE HANDS OF THOSE WHO CLAIMED TO LOVE THEM. ❤❤❤ I WALKED AWAY DON'T WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS PERSON. ITS TOO LATE. I DON'T NEED YOU ANYMORE ( NOT THAT I EVER DID ) AND I DON'T MISS HIM AT ALL. AND ITS ALL BECAUSE HE NEVER MADE ME A PRIORITY. HE TOOK ME FOR GRANTED THOUGHT THAT I WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE THERE, WAITING FOR HIM TO SERVE ME THE SCRAPS OF HIS TIME. ITS FUNNY BECAUSE AS I WAITED FOR HIM TO REALIZED WHAT WE HAD... I FINALLY REALIZED THAT I DIDN'T NEED WHAT HE WAS OFFERING. WHICH IS ZILCH ZERO NUCE NADA. ITS HIS LOSS. ❤❤❤
Nobody can ever hurt me again. I have become an soldier dressed in steel armor. I have been forged under the most extreme heat and pressure. They can try to harm me, but will not push me one inch. My heals are planted firmly in place. Not one step back. And most importantly, I will not lose my empathy.
I went into a state of disaccociation at the worst time during 1 of her family gatherings and it was perfect for them to paint me as an asshole. I didn't realize I did that bc of the abuse. 3 days later I tried to break it off but she manipulated me into staying for another year. I left her 4 days ago after a year of confusion. I had a plan and at the end I gray rocked her so hard she started to spiral and began baiting me hardcore. I fell for it a couple of times and the reactions I gave her in those instances was the basis of her rage during the discard. It took some time to execute my plan but I knew I was right by the way she acted for the last couple months.
+ love that you teach harmlessness, discernment and respect - _are_ how we "fight" back - You are like a General in this crazy psychological War - (and as much as I love to learn from Professor Sam V, I agree with you on this topic;) + good works in the sharing the Truth. 💖
Prioritizing my own life is key. Then I set goals. Keeping a few simple goals is healthy for me and I push myself. That’s reality. The thoughts in my head about the past are old movies that over time I’m sick of seeing over and over again with twisted false self appraisal. I let them go. I wrote them down on a piece of paper, crumbled it up and burned it under a full moon harvest moon while it partially eclipsed. I also wrote down my dream on another piece of paper and asked to be relieved of the bondage of self. There’s no need to beat myself up or wish it were different. I’m thankful for Andrew a true spiritual teacher, this community and to be free of this type of malady of the heart. And as I grow stronger everyday that I may give something positive to this world and embrace the beautiful flow of life.
So sorry I feel your pain and once knew some of this. Please be gentle with yourself and hug yourself, cry out privately with you spirit and our spiritual side.😢. Prayers and hugs sent!
I keep getting stuck in ruminating thoughts, trying still on some level to reconcile all that has happened…I like your old movie example and embracing the beautiful flow of life, thanks for sharing.
It's all very real ! The battle between Light and Darkness ! That's why you meet narcs, to destroy them. Only true empath can do it , but must have knowledge and information. Otherwise the narc can destroy him. Narcissists can use your empathy against you. That's what they do and they know that's your weak point. So , brothers and sisters, be careful. Being an empath doesn't mean you are an superhero. Just a human...an good human !😊
Narcissists are the most ungrateful and resentful individuals I've encountered. Their greed knows no bounds; they desire everything an empath possesses and more. As empaths, our strength lies in our capacity to give love. Unfortunately, spending much of my life offering this love to narcissists has felt like casting pearls before swine. However, our ability to generate and share love is a profound gift that will ultimately lead us to finish the race stronger and healthier.
What I still kick myself about is her b.s rage fits and how many times I tolerated them. I thought one day she'll realize, I'm not her enemy. Never happened, the hate only got worse. 2yrs no contact 🏆
They don't just hate you. They despise you. To me, it felt like more than hatred, so I found the word that suits how he made me feel. "despise implies a stronger level of disgust or contempt and is often used to express a feeling of superiority over the object of the emotion, while hate is a more general term used to express strong dislike or animosity."
You really don't know how much you strengthen and empowered me I'm 54 but have a disfiguring disease but I still have a power that draws people into me and just talk and listen to people. In stores people will talk to me and she hates it .....but thank you so much
Thankyou Andrew yes we are unique & rare beautiful people that we deserve the best. They are a piece of dirt on the ground. Thankyou for sharing you are a beautiful soul Andrew. ❤️
Thank you so much for talking about a narcissist you have helped me so much and many other people to God bless you thank you for being a blessing thank you for being here we need you
3 years ago I was told and I thought that I was the narcissist in the relationship...Andrew educated me and now I know that I am the Empath...I have watched over 100 videos on Covert Narcissist and I am now and Educated Empath...thank you Andrew!
Thank you Andrew...I am in the fine-tuning process. With the truths I learned over the past couple of years, I didn't realize how vulnerable I still was. This was one of your best vids I have heard...
@@valeriemartin6936To my now enlightened wisdom and heightened awareness of narcissism, my sense is we find that love when we learn to love ourselves as empaths, to set safe appropriate boundaries and to take care of ourselves first, second and third - but without doing harm to others (which differentiates us from narcissists).
Thank you kindly for posting this video. It’s as if you were watching me all my life, especially through my entire marriage to the biggest narcissist sociopath on the planet. 🌎 The vampire you described…wanting to take everything, to be the walking apology, to raise their kids, etc. I agree with every single …the distain, the jealousy, manipulation, cruelty and so much more. You’re so right on the money…the fact that I had to heal, read, seek therapy, watch videos. I am empathetic like no one I’ve ever seen … I give God all the glory. We don’t seek to get back at that person and we certainly learn not to allow another one chance after chance. I did have my son to live for. I do see how rare empaths are. I do see all that you’re sharing. It is a huge gift from God and we’re the bright lights. Please keep sharing your videos…I plan to share this one and cherish it as I keep it as well. The candle light, he was sure he’d damaged me for life.
You’ve said something in a couple of videos that struck me about them not being able to regulate themselves.. I work with children that are often dysregulated and I know all of the strategies to help them get back to a regulated state..realized I tried these on him..yet they seldom “worked “..🤔 that’s got me thinking.. another great message.. have a great evening!
“When the empire strikes back “ lol, the empire of empaths i guess, i don’t know, Andrew, to be able to “ strike” back you need to get away from the narcissist for good and be healed more or less completely ( if that is 100 possible idk), Andrew , thank you , once again, great video , cool title😀🙃❤, and yes, i cracked the narcissistic code and i realize now more than before that he had cut me off from everything i ever loved and led me into darkness and despair but i escaped in the end thanks to having listened to lots of your videos, now i see myself every now and then getting a little weak and looking with rose tinted glasses at this terrible relationship i had , but i know the truth, he will never change to a good person who loves me for me , oh God , let me be strong 🙏🙉🙈🙊❤️all survivors deserve a purple heart for real💜
Wonderful channel! God Bless You Andrew! You truly hit the nail on the head! I never thought the narcs in my life had the capacity to love anyone but themselves and you validate it. Thank you! From a fellow empath and narcissist survivor.
Hi. I'm so glad I found your video. My mom is an Narc and has been treating me bad for 42 years. I consistently try to have a relationship with her but she hates me and she acts like she don't know that. I can hear her thoughts too. She puts everyone against me, and goes out of her way to talk about me and destroy my relationship with my friends. I pray for her but it's NOT helping. Bless you brother.
I’m still HERE, now in North Carolina. First went my brothers and then the last no-contact was my niece whom I’d raised as my daughter (that was the worst). It’s been hard, so hard! Yet there was simply no other option. And since then, no looking back and no regrets whatsoever. This video was especially meaningful. I thank you🙏
You are a blessing Andrew. Thank you sincerly. Its a big mountain i climbed to get here allteady. Whipped stabbed not belived by navy hurt but never gave up. I see a summit ahead.
I’m healing four years after an abusive marriage, and was with a group of friends on Zoom. A married man, with his wife by his side and in front of everyone, made a jokey put-down about what I was wearing ( a leather jacket). I paused, and replied “Are you being rude to me, or somebody else?” Laughs all round at him and a perfect strike back for me 🎯Something I would never have done when baited, before awakening to narcissism. I can say now, I AM healed.
Such a hard lesson to learn. Never thought folks could be so fake and evil. A total wake-up call, one I wish I did not have to experience. Stand strong brothers and sisters. Still be the light and compassion, especially to yourselves right now. God Bless.
1:49 "You thought that a narcissist was probably someone who was just taking a look at themselves in the mirror a little too often." I wish I had been right!
Andrew! TY!!!!!!!!!!!! I been wondering for years seen i leaned i was a Empath why i was so drained most of time and im soooo tied of this Narcissist Society
@@miraclelester4785 yes it is a source of great pain . I agree. Until we learn how to have boundaries and how to spot narcissists a mile away. Much love to you 🙏🌺🌸🌈
Andrew ive been watching and listening to you for a number of years without you i would probably have not been able to carry on,he crushed me in to peices,from across the pond im sending you a virtual hug and a massive thankyou.
Thank you for what you do, sir. I have been in a relationship with a covert narcissist for 2 years and watched my physical health decline to where I'm bedbound. Your videos have opened my eyes to the reality of it and what I need to do. I'm striking back and watching him fall apart.
You found me for the first time today. Andrew, I have not cried for myself, about the abuse that I suffered in a long time. By the end of this video you had me bawling, my heart full of that pain. I am 5 years free. I am a fierce, some would say "angry", defender of me now. And I'm ferocious when someone I love is being abused and I, of course, now recognize the narcissist that is abusing them.. I GO OFF!! FAST!! And that's basically how I am now. Fierce. Ferocious. Stronger 💪 Thank you for making me cry for myself. I needed it..
This is incredible, it's word for word my experience. I have become so guarded and cannot trust - even myself. Listening to your words is so reassuring to know I'm not alone in my horror. Blessings to all you beautiful empathic souls out there, our tribe is getting stronger 💜🧘♂️💙
Spot on Andrew. We do nothing to hurt anyone, we just let the truth do its work. Everyone reveals themselves in time and we know the power of truth. Those who are certain of the outcome can wait and wait without anxiety. Thank you 🙏 ❤❤❤
I used to watch these thinking I want to get past this. I listened to it on my drives, at work, after work, in the shower, and bedtime. at one point, you'll pretty much learn all you need. Then you just ask yourself "what else can I learn about?" And you move on to something new. And you start to heal. I started learning about getting in shape. Little by little, every day. It all adds up. Now I'm in shape and I don't know what the heck I was thinking dating that narcissist. I rarely watch NPD vids anymore. Life DOES get so much better. Believe it. God is good. Thank you for these teachers too. Think about that for a minute :S
The empath finally reaches the point ,, we need to be more empathetic towards ourselves and be proud of how many storms we have survived, and also with a much smaller circle but with the same big heart that we were born with and that is when you truly love yourself ❤
I just left my narc mother after almost 5 decades of her abuse. As ot11/14/2024, I packed my bags, took my daughter and dog and left that situation. I cut all of the ties. I’m free and ready to start my next chapter in life. Toxic free! I can’t believe it is even real yet. Thank you Andrew for your support and help. U have no idea how much you have contributed to my life and given me the strength to get out and start over! Thank you again ❤✌️💯🙏💪🌹
Such a gentleman. True words of truth, wisdom and hope. It like a firestorm and wipes out all life. Takes many years for new shoots to even appear and your heart is still dead inside even though you keep giving and shedding light still, your still burnt out inside. Your passion to warn others is amazing. You not give up warning others about this trap.
Thank you, Andrew! I needed to hear how strong I really am (or becoming) Whenever I feel weak and defeated, I hear your voice saying I am a bright shining light! Thank you for picking me up when I feel down! I received a letter today from victim services, telling me where he is and for how long. It was like a punch in the gut that he keeps popping up when I feel like I’m almost to the top of the mountain. Then I remembered why I found your channel, and why I am still here! It’s to become the stronger most galvanized version of myself! Thank you!!
As my families Empath , when I closed the door on them I was exhausted and very sad to have to fade away from them Mother Brother and Sister, Now after 2 1/2 years of no contact I would be a liar if I said that it doesn’t hurt .

I'm in that same dark place for 9.5 years 😢 But I'm regaining ME and getting ready to flee and Divorce!!
What a message. It made me tear up. There is so much powerful positive energy in this video. I lived my life in others' people shoes. I did meet some people like me but my family was narcissistic including my adult son, my only child. I blamed myself for years because that was the message those I loved were giving me. Now I am alone but content, comfortable, and quietly happy.
🙏🏻💝
Good for you sister May your peace be grand .
Blessings to you 🙏🏼🌹🕊️
@@therooster6104 Blessing to you too
Another excellent expression! ... and we stopped polishing their shoes for them, too.
Thank you for sharing..💜🙏😌🙌
Thank you for sacrificing the time to help us heal. God bless you!
I am an empath! When we are done we are completely done! Nothing they say or do will undo this. They lose us and our energy, it makes their world a cold hard place. We then take our energy and time to put on ourselves to replenish what was stolen from us. It takes time. We have to let the fog clear.
Absolutely! 👍💥❤🙏
🌈🎀😘
Thanks Andrew
💯 once I was done, that was it. He'll never get another word out of me
You are spot on! Well said!!
Good description. Thanks.
The narcissist destroyed me permanently. I’ll never be the same person again. That shiny bright light in my eyes is gone and I don’t know when it will ever come back.
It destroyed the old naive you. What comes back is a better, wiser version of you.
Go no contact and do your homework on what really happened. All the best, we’ve been there too.🩷
Keep listening and learning from Andrew's videos. Watch them and rewatch them until your light shines bright again. AND IT WILL Your light is not gone. It had just been dimmed. And remember... You come first, second and third. Love yourself right now and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow...... Much love from someone who has been there❤❤❤❤
I hear you, but you can heal. I've been there more than enough times and yeah it's really painful. You can move forward research, look at Andrew's videos which are great but look into whatever resonates with your pain and start the journey of healing.Much blessings to you. ❤
Same. I don't trust anyone. Even when my logic says that I've observed and analysed a person long enough and that they are definitely a good person, my walls don't come down and my body keeps on being in an anxious state because I lost trust not only in others, but in myself. Narc also effectively destroyed my believe in HOPE. I don't know if I will ever regain it.
I have decided to move countries and to go live with people who value community and not status and money. Maybe being surrounded by that will bring healing.
@@cornelia-wp5hj Hope is always there. Find Strength in yourself without seeking help from others.
The world isnt a safe place anymore to me and at 62 im healed but deeply scarred and havnt seen my children in 10yrs These narcs are pure evil.
😌😌🙏
It never was. Narcissism has been around since the dawn of man. There has always been empaths, narcissists and psychopaths. And everyone in between. That's the polarity of man.
@@btlfilmmedia9514 yes
Lots of love God bless you

The narcissists today are descendants from the same narcissistic gang, that participated in a group effort to persecute Jesus.
My impression is, that there is a never ending power competition around people. Solitude is bliss. I carefully chose my social surroundings like a warrior now. Amen to this video.
Thank you..💜🙏😌
I don't know what's harder: enduring narcissistic abuse or recovering from it.
Absolutely true. When we figure them out, draw that line in the sand, then there is no turning back. The lesson was painful but I suspect it was part of our personal growth. These videos were fundamental to that growth. Thank you Andrew.
Agree 👍💥❤🙏
🌈🎀😘
I figured it out about 4 years ago. Before that I didn’t really know what narcissism was. I became enlightened and finally realized that it wasn’t my fault.
God has a secret weapon.
He is a secret weapon!
ONE OF THE SADDEST THINGS IS THAT EVERY EMPATH I'VE MET HAS BEEN FORCED TO ENDURED UNIMAGINABLE CRUELTY AND SUFFERING THROUGHOUT MOST OF THEIR LIVES AT THE HANDS OF THOSE WHO CLAIMED TO LOVE THEM.
❤❤❤
I WALKED AWAY DON'T WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS PERSON.
ITS TOO LATE.
I DON'T NEED YOU ANYMORE
( NOT THAT I EVER DID )
AND I DON'T MISS HIM AT ALL.
AND ITS ALL BECAUSE HE NEVER MADE ME A PRIORITY.
HE TOOK ME FOR GRANTED THOUGHT THAT I WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE THERE, WAITING FOR HIM TO SERVE ME THE SCRAPS OF HIS TIME.
ITS FUNNY BECAUSE AS I WAITED FOR HIM TO REALIZED WHAT WE HAD...
I FINALLY REALIZED THAT I DIDN'T NEED WHAT HE WAS OFFERING.
WHICH IS ZILCH ZERO NUCE NADA.
ITS HIS LOSS.
❤❤❤
I am an Empath. My 2 best friends are Empaths. I'm doing amazing.
Nobody can ever hurt me again. I have become an soldier dressed in steel armor. I have been forged under the most extreme heat and pressure. They can try to harm me, but will not push me one inch. My heals are planted firmly in place. Not one step back. And most importantly, I will not lose my empathy.
@@Ray-sv9zi good one 🙏
I remember when I was having a mental breakdown cause by her abuse, she looked at me and asked “Are you done?”
😌😌🙏
Cruelty.
My ex would ask me that when I was bawling my eyes out.
Now my answer is, “Yes, I AM DONE.” Too bad (for him) he’s not close enough to hear it.
I went into a state of disaccociation at the worst time during 1 of her family gatherings and it was perfect for them to paint me as an asshole. I didn't realize I did that bc of the abuse. 3 days later I tried to break it off but she manipulated me into staying for another year. I left her 4 days ago after a year of confusion. I had a plan and at the end I gray rocked her so hard she started to spiral and began baiting me hardcore. I fell for it a couple of times and the reactions I gave her in those instances was the basis of her rage during the discard. It took some time to execute my plan but I knew I was right by the way she acted for the last couple months.
@@skylarmontgomery6181 oh my god
So much love to you🌸🙏🌺
Empath Strikes Back... love the title. 😂
😌💜🤭
+ love that you teach harmlessness, discernment and respect - _are_ how we "fight" back - You are like a General in this crazy psychological War - (and as much as I love to learn from Professor Sam V, I agree with you on this topic;) + good works in the sharing the Truth. 💖
Prioritizing my own life is key. Then I set goals. Keeping a few simple goals is healthy for me and I push myself. That’s reality. The thoughts in my head about the past are old movies that over time I’m sick of seeing over and over again with twisted false self appraisal. I let them go. I wrote them down on a piece of paper, crumbled it up and burned it under a full moon harvest moon while it partially eclipsed. I also wrote down my dream on another piece of paper and asked to be relieved of the bondage of self. There’s no need to beat myself up or wish it were different. I’m thankful for Andrew a true spiritual teacher, this community and to be free of this type of malady of the heart. And as I grow stronger everyday that I may give something positive to this world and embrace the beautiful flow of life.
So sorry I feel your pain and once knew some of this. Please be gentle with yourself and hug yourself, cry out privately with you spirit and our spiritual side.😢. Prayers and hugs sent!
Thank you for sharing this..💜😌🙏⛰️

I keep getting stuck in ruminating thoughts, trying still on some level to reconcile all that has happened…I like your old movie example and embracing the beautiful flow of life, thanks for sharing.
They’re jealous of the good in Empaths.
It's all very real ! The battle between Light and Darkness ! That's why you meet narcs, to destroy them. Only true empath can do it , but must have knowledge and information. Otherwise the narc can destroy him. Narcissists can use your empathy against you. That's what they do and they know that's your weak point. So , brothers and sisters, be careful. Being an empath doesn't mean you are an superhero. Just a human...an good human !😊
A decent human but with awesomeness oohhh.
@KyleSlavik-ro6hl
Sharp as an sword !
Empaths strongly believes in karma, appreciate the vid
I came as a blessing & left as Karma.❤🎉😊
😌😌💜
you are so right, I will never be the same, stronger for sure. almost healed ,amen.
😌😌💜
Narcissists are the most ungrateful and resentful individuals I've encountered. Their greed knows no bounds; they desire everything an empath possesses and more. As empaths, our strength lies in our capacity to give love. Unfortunately, spending much of my life offering this love to narcissists has felt like casting pearls before swine. However, our ability to generate and share love is a profound gift that will ultimately lead us to finish the race stronger and healthier.
😌😌🙏
The narcissist performs for others. The empath forms others. Thank you, Andrew ❤
What I still kick myself about is her b.s rage fits and how many times I tolerated them. I thought one day she'll realize, I'm not her enemy. Never happened, the hate only got worse.
2yrs no contact 🏆
❤
👏👏👏👏
❤
Good on you friend!!
They don't just hate you. They despise you. To me, it felt like more than hatred, so I found the word that suits how he made me feel.
"despise implies a stronger level of disgust or contempt and is often used to express a feeling of superiority over the object of the emotion, while hate is a more general term used to express strong dislike or animosity."
You really don't know how much you strengthen and empowered me I'm 54 but have a disfiguring disease but I still have a power that draws people into me and just talk and listen to people. In stores people will talk to me and she hates it .....but thank you so much

Welcome..💜🙏😌
3 years ago I was told and I thought that I was the narcissist in the relationship...Andrew educated me and now I know that I am the Empath...I have watched over 100 videos on Covert Narcissist and I am now and Educated Empath...thank you Andrew!
Thank you Andrew...I am in the fine-tuning process. With the truths I learned over the past couple of years, I didn't realize how vulnerable I still was. This was one of your best vids I have heard...
Welcome..🙏💜😌⛰️
Andrew, I truly hope you have found the love and happiness that you deserve.
@@valeriemartin6936To my now enlightened wisdom and heightened awareness of narcissism, my sense is we find that love when we learn to love ourselves as empaths, to set safe appropriate boundaries and to take care of ourselves first, second and third - but without doing harm to others (which differentiates us from narcissists).
Agreed. In the beginning I knew something was wrong. Now I know. I could have sworn I understood. But not now.
Thank you kindly for posting this video. It’s as if you were watching me all my life, especially through my entire marriage to the biggest narcissist sociopath on the planet. 🌎 The vampire you described…wanting to take everything, to be the walking apology, to raise their kids, etc. I agree with every single …the distain, the jealousy, manipulation, cruelty and so much more. You’re so right on the money…the fact that I had to heal, read, seek therapy, watch videos. I am empathetic like no one I’ve ever seen … I give God all the glory. We don’t seek to get back at that person and we certainly learn not to allow another one chance after chance. I did have my son to live for. I do see how rare empaths are. I do see all that you’re sharing. It is a huge gift from God and we’re the bright lights. Please keep sharing your videos…I plan to share this one and cherish it as I keep it as well. The candle light, he was sure he’d damaged me for life.
The empire of empaths, in this world, will continue to shine, through the evil❤🙏❤
You’ve said something in a couple of videos that struck me about them not being able to regulate themselves.. I work with children that are often dysregulated and I know all of the strategies to help them get back to a regulated state..realized I tried these on him..yet they seldom “worked “..🤔 that’s got me thinking.. another great message.. have a great evening!
“When the empire strikes back “ lol, the empire of empaths i guess, i don’t know, Andrew, to be able to “ strike” back you need to get away from the narcissist for good and be healed more or less completely ( if that is 100 possible idk), Andrew , thank you , once again, great video , cool title😀🙃❤, and yes, i cracked the narcissistic code and i realize now more than before that he had cut me off from everything i ever loved and led me into darkness and despair but i escaped in the end thanks to having listened to lots of your videos, now i see myself every now and then getting a little weak and looking with rose tinted glasses at this terrible relationship i had , but i know the truth, he will never change to a good person who loves me for me , oh God , let me be strong 🙏🙉🙈🙊❤️all survivors deserve a purple heart for real💜
@@TamikaTaylor-rl1im 💜🌸
Good one, and a tremendous help in understanding what I once tolerated.

Wonderful channel! God Bless You Andrew! You truly hit the nail on the head! I never thought the narcs in my life had the capacity to love anyone but themselves and you validate it. Thank you! From a fellow empath and narcissist survivor.
Welcome..💜🙏😌
Can't remember a time in my life when I wasn't an empath. Empaths exist on planet Earth.

@@JHavaJoe2-m1z You are absolutely right. Never made the connection. Thanks.
Hi. I'm so glad I found your video. My mom is an Narc and has been treating me bad for 42 years. I consistently try to have a relationship with her but she hates me and she acts like she don't know that. I can hear her thoughts too. She puts everyone against me, and goes out of her way to talk about me and destroy my relationship with my friends. I pray for her but it's NOT helping. Bless you brother.
I hear you. Both parents are narcs mum passive aggressive. And dad, he just aggressive. Hugs x
I’m still HERE, now in North Carolina. First went my brothers and then the last no-contact was my niece whom I’d raised as my daughter (that was the worst). It’s been hard, so hard! Yet there was simply no other option. And since then, no looking back and no regrets whatsoever. This video was especially meaningful. I thank you🙏
Welcome..🙏💜😌
You are a blessing Andrew. Thank you sincerly. Its a big mountain i climbed to get here allteady. Whipped stabbed not belived by navy hurt but never gave up. I see a summit ahead.
Welcome..🙏😌💜⛰️
I’m healing four years after an abusive marriage, and was with a group of friends on Zoom. A married man, with his wife by his side and in front of everyone, made a jokey put-down about what I was wearing ( a leather jacket). I paused, and replied “Are you being rude to me, or somebody else?” Laughs all round at him and a perfect strike back for me 🎯Something I would never have done when baited, before awakening to narcissism. I can say now, I AM healed.
My friend Gail says, "When Mr Cringe comes knocking tbere's no going back". The empath knows this
'To be' their scapegoat! Master gaslighters. THANK YOU for your video, you nailed ALL of it!
AMEN MY BROTHER 😊 GOD BLESS YOU. THANK YOU
😌🙏💜
Such a hard lesson to learn. Never thought folks could be so fake and evil. A total wake-up call, one I wish I did not have to experience. Stand strong brothers and sisters. Still be the light and compassion, especially to yourselves right now. God Bless.
We shall heal completely ❤
A narcissist is a snake that wants to bite you on the face expecting you to thank them…….
👏👏👏
1:49 "You thought that a narcissist was probably someone who was just taking a look at themselves in the mirror a little too often."
I wish I had been right!
Or drown in their owe shadow 🤣
You described my whole life. Thank you for helping me.

Indeed I am empath all the way. Which is the source of great pain...

Thank you for what you do, sir. I have been in a relationship with a covert narcissist for 2 years and watched my physical health decline to where I'm bedbound. Your videos have opened my eyes to the reality of it and what I need to do. I'm striking back and watching him fall apart.

You found me for the first time today. Andrew, I have not cried for myself, about the abuse that I suffered in a long time. By the end of this video you had me bawling, my heart full of that pain. I am 5 years free. I am a fierce, some would say "angry", defender of me now. And I'm ferocious when someone I love is being abused and I, of course, now recognize the narcissist that is abusing them.. I GO OFF!! FAST!! And that's basically how I am now. Fierce. Ferocious. Stronger 💪
Thank you for making me cry for myself. I needed it..
WORD! I had to really see my life from childhood, had awful parents & step mum too & then it just perpetuated ….i realized about 8 yrs ago & Im 58 😮

Welcome..💜🙏😌
I used to watch these thinking I want to get past this. I listened to it on my drives, at work, after work, in the shower, and bedtime. at one point, you'll pretty much learn all you need. Then you just ask yourself "what else can I learn about?" And you move on to something new. And you start to heal. I started learning about getting in shape. Little by little, every day. It all adds up. Now I'm in shape and I don't know what the heck I was thinking dating that narcissist. I rarely watch NPD vids anymore. Life DOES get so much better. Believe it. God is good. Thank you for these teachers too. Think about that for a minute :S

Thank you so, so much Andrew. I really needed to hear this today. That I'm rare and powerfull. ❤ Much love from Sweden 🇸🇪
Such a gentleman. True words of truth, wisdom and hope. It like a firestorm and wipes out all life. Takes many years for new shoots to even appear and your heart is still dead inside even though you keep giving and shedding light still, your still burnt out inside. Your passion to warn others is amazing. You not give up warning others about this trap.

Thank you, Andrew! I needed to hear how strong I really am (or becoming)
Whenever I feel weak and defeated, I hear your voice saying I am a bright shining light! Thank you for picking me up when I feel down!
I received a letter today from victim services, telling me where he is and for how long. It was like a punch in the gut that he keeps popping up when I feel like I’m almost to the top of the mountain. Then I remembered why I found your channel, and why I am still here! It’s to become the stronger most galvanized version of myself! Thank you!!
