4 Types of Narcissism
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 чер 2017
- Vanity and narcissism get interchanged so often that line of difference gets blurred. When thinking of narcissism, we often have the mental image of someone who is boastful, arrogant and self-centered. However, that is only a few of the symptoms that they display. Think of narcissism as a spectrum. On the far end, we have a healthy dose of self-esteem that manifests as confidence and self-assurance while we have the narcissistic personality disorder on the other end. Here, we talk about the four types of narcissistic personality traits. Do you consider yourself a narcissist?

I'm too perfect to be a narssacist
Like you spell, dont tell me thats the right spelling because my ego is too high i dont listen and care, i just like criticism
It's a joke chill.
People really don't understand this joke? It's been around for a shitfuck length of time.
Doge But not everybody is annoyed by the same thing. You are annoyed by jokes. I'm annoyed by idiots who can't take jokes.
TheRainbowEmo Nyc there's no hope for you.
"Is it narcissism if you're actually better than everyone else?"
Illicit Films obv the thought tht u are better than everyone else is narcissism
Illicit Films xDDDD
Illicit Films there have been many times where i thought i was not as good as everyone else. ithought everybody else had it better than me. then, to someone like me, some idiots would say stuff like, "why do you think you are better than everybody else?" when i did nothing to imply that. it is pretty clear to me they were just saying what is true of themselves to me, because they probably knew i would not attack them for it. do not care anymore. i am confident and cool, now. happy with myself, if you think i am complacent for smiling at you, then, too bad- we could have been friends.
Nah, if you truly are, you’re just stating facts
you have to remember for every person your better than..there are 100 fold better than you...but confidence makes you better than anyone else.
Although chances are if you’re worried you might be a narcissist, you probably aren’t a narcissist.
True that
Don't forget!
Not always the case, some are self aware. But most, definitely wouldn't seek treatment or would pay much attention to it.
Benjamin Vroman I’m not worried I’m one, I want to be one.
Yeah narcissists think they are to perfect to consider that
Why do they always say “Talk to your mental health professional” like it’s something everyone just has?
It 's weird for me too
It seems to be easier to put it under control with a pill than working on the aspect in order to cure it. I fucking hate it.
Just because you don't have one, doesn't mean access to one isn't easy. That's what the narrator implies.
In order for you to get a proper diagnosis if you believe you are a narcissist.
Dt Snizzley hi I know this is random but you mentioned online therapy and it sparked an interest and I was wondering if you know any good online therapists?
I thought I was a narcissist a few weeks ago,so I asked my therapist...he went thru narcissistic traits with me, turns out I'm not, I just have a fragile pride lol
It's great you got it check out. Yeah, the actual diagnosis would mean something else if you really have it. It's not something to be taken lightly.
You know what that say about people with fragile pride....
Psych2Go exactly that's why I kinda freaked out, thanks for replying! 😊
telikon I think you're confusing pride with ego.
YoAntoNeo congratulations..lol! but what if the outcome was different..is there a cure or something?
Overt Narcissists = UA-cam
Covert Narcissists = Facebook
Seductive Narcissists = Instagram
Vindictive Narcissists = Twitter
Somatic Narcissists = Tumblr
Cerebral Narcissists = Reddit
This is a very good post. We should feed *TheWalkingBritt* 's narcisism by increasing the upvotes. UA-cam is most definitely a place for overt narcissists. It is also a place for hack frauds.
DAMN! You nailed it
TheWalkingBritt Where does 4chan fit in this?
Covert Narcissists = Quora
I'm pretty sure Tumblr is Vindictive though, unless you're a fan artist that doesn't make Sonic OCs or a "living," oh wait that's DeviantArt, never mind then.
Yes, I’m going to like my own comment because I’m a narcissist
*****likes my own comment*****
Why do I see you everywhere
Same but I am going to make my other Account to do the same if I don’t forget but I’ll probably forget to so yeah
Omg...you are so beautiful
Lmaoooo
I keep on thinking I'm a narcissist but then I realize I'm probably not then I get super nervous and think that I'm subconsciously trying to trick myself into thinking I'm not. I'm so confused
Me too :/ idk if im trying to convince myself im not by validating my feelings and my logic is biased or if im actually not one
I might be, I'm not worried about it though. Basically just be a nice person and if you find yourself manipulating someone in a negative way, stop and apologize, even if they don't suspect you. This helps put it in YOUR mind that it's not ok to hurt people, so as a punishment for your inner manipulative goblin you are going to tell on it. Manipulation is like a magic trick, it works best when others don't understand it. If you are constantly revealing magic tricks, magicians aren't going to like you: if you are continually revealing manipulation actions, narcissists aren't going to like you.
I might be. I would like to ask for help.
@@epicninja952 I am curious, how its work. Can you share some magic trick? (I was a quite naive person.)
@@jazon85k I don't know exactly, but one option is to always ask for clarity when there could possibly be other meanings. I never liked lying, but I could say things that implied one thing that I couldn't say cuz that would be a lie.
For example, 1 time I snuck a kitten home, I lived in a rural area so there were slightly wild cats, i brought it up to the garden, put it down, let it walk around a bit, brought it to the house and said "look who was in the garden" then every one decided it was probably Grey's kitten, tried to give it to her the next day but she ignored him, they then decided that we have been handling him too much so the mother rejected him. I said 1 small truth, then let everyone tell their own stories from there.
Once i was asked "do you think that grey is the mother?" My response "I can't say for sure that I think that." Nobody ever tried to dig below the surface of what I said, so I got away with it.
My dad is an actual narcissist. I'm not saying that either. it makes me mad when teens are like "oh yeah, my mom is so bipolar" when they are just being parents and the kid can't see that the parents are just doing their job so they use the word bipolar to make a point. But no. I mean my dad is an actual sociopath and a narcissist. he's insane. he tears everyone in out house apart physical and mentally.. I cant tell you how many times he started an argument just because he wants to win cause he knows me and my step mom can't do anything about it. he's so self centered and doesn't care about anyone but himself. he gloats all the time and talks about how much better he is than us. he puts us all down all the time and points out all our flaws and nags at it. it's horrible and it's driven me to have many mental disorders as well. As my opinion and recommendation only, please don't incorrectly use mental disorders as an "explanation" for a parent that didn't let you go to that party, or is making you clean your room, it's disrespectful to the people that really have the illness or to the people that have to live and be around it.
it can only be a tragedy until it's in the past and over, but for now it is what it is, and we have to deal with it and try and learn from it. thanks for the reply and the advice!
a narcissistic sociopath is npd, and parents can really damage their kids. there is a technique called gray rocking that is helpful when dealing with npds, npds hate themselves first and foremost, they are looking for ways to feel better about themselves at the expense of others, even their kids. when you gray rock you make yourself emotionless, if you get into an argument with an npd its going to be neverending, they have to see themselves as 'winning', as bigger and better than you, so no matter how much you are trying to use reason they don't want reason, they just want to win to be superior. if a npd asks you how your day is just say fine, if they ask you anything you can answer with "fine" use it, you are essentially making yourself dull around the npd, giving them no fuel to launch an attack. you can't be emotional about anything, just a flat, boring, gray rock. when you do this npds will double down on stuff to try to drag you in, but its not going to escalate into madness because they can't control you if you don't fuel their crazy.
I really like that reasoning! iv actually used the Grey rock method before, but because he is extremely controlling as well. if I didn't respond the way he wanted me to he'd yell and hit me. the grey rock method worked for about 2 weeks until he found a way to get around it. thank you so much for your comment though! I really appreciate the fact that you took time out of your day to help. thanks!
ps. (my last name is Gray, so that's a little bit funny as well)
I AGREE! I hate when people use depression and other mental problems as an excuse for wanting attention. I'm so sorry you too had to go that through.. My dad was a narcisstic too. I won't get too much into details but let's just say that my dad had the power to make me, my little sister and mom feel like we were nothing. Like we were useless, stupid and worthless. He was very abusive, manipulative and aggressive. On top of that he was an alcoholic and loved our family so much that no matter how much we begged him to stop, he managed to kill himself. He died because of alcohol. So, i won't say that i know exactly how you feel, because every person has their own kind of pain, different hell and own feelings. I think i might have a strong feeling about how you may be feeling tho..But i wanna tell you that you are NOT alone. Stay strong 💗 ~Hoping for better days~
Everyone commenting saying they understand my situation, I'm so sorry you have to go though that. One thing that keeps me going is knowing this, In the end, things will be ok, and if things aren't ok, it isn't the end. Thank you all for reading my comment and recommending things and telling your stories. it means a lot that you take time out of your days to do that for me. Thank you all!
i act like a narcissist to hide my insecurities
年華花樣 me too
Rachel Perry please tell me that was sarcasm.
Rachel Perry Uh, what?
年華花樣 Well, I think that is what some nacissists do.... So just stop acting like a narcissist and then you aren't a narcissist anymore.
shut up you white cis sexist racist male

4 Types of Narcissism

scscscsc makes the same sound as sksksksk
"and i- OOP" indeed.
Bruh 💀💀
Welp !
VSCO girls are narcissistic confirmed
You forgot about egocentric narcissist
Genius.
if you are worried about being a narcissist would that in it self preclude you from actually being one?
Papi Blix On the bright side you aren't annoyingly oblivious like some a holes out there! XD
I thought this as well. If a person is concerned or worried that he or she is a narcissist, then chances that person is not.
Some people use it as a circumlocuitous way to deflect blame and engender sympathy. E.g. "Oh, gee, I think I might have a problem...I want to be nice but I think I'm a narcissist. So, when I behave poorly, you shouldn't hold me accountable and instead try to help me. I've admitted fault in this token fashion, so that's like admitting fault for all my poor behaviors and that makes them all okay." See the section in the video about covert and seductive narcissists.
It's pretty insidious, and I know because I've both done it myself and had it done to me. Some people really do want to come clean about a narcissism problem that they do want to fix, but wherever there's a genuine intent, there's a manipulator who's willing to feign it to get a leg up. Not trying to imply this is you or anything, because I speak too harshly a lot, but I think it would be good for more people to know about this so they can spot it.
Jazznblues A narcissist would probably tell himself that hes so intelligent and self-conscious for finding out about his own mental conditions
I've been contemplating being one. I've lead girl on in the past and flirted with them because I liked the attention, but often felt horrible about it when they started to show serious interest in me, but I did not feel the same about them. People think narcissists are incapable of guilt, when that could not be farther from the truth. Narcissist unloads their own guilt and sense of shame onto their scapegoats. They don't take any responsibility for their actions, and instead justify and rationalist their actions to shove their guilt deep down inside.
Can you dudes do a video on night owls and early birds if you haven't?
Yeah for sure! We can do something on that! :) Good suggestion!
aww that would be nice :3 We Night owls need something like this to show it to our family and friends^^

@Alex the Bossatron oh my god 😂
😂🤣
lmao
omg ahahah
Yeah I’ve fallen pray to a seductive narcissist before, it is not a pleasant feeling.
Just went through this recently, I agree.
I think I grew up with something like this. My father always idolezed me and my brother. And always told us that we were intelectually superior and special and different. The aftermath of that was that I basically developed very high expectations of myself, absurd ones. Like speaking 4 languages before I become an adult, and a lot of other stupid shit that I thought i had to do or I would feel worthless. So I always ended up hating myself for not being a prodigy. And it was just a very bad way of living. I don't know if I categorize as a narcissistic person. But for a long time I held myself in a very high standard and it just destroyed my life with depression and anxiety. Now I'm better doe :)
Maybe your father just really loved you and your brother and wanted you to develop a high self-esteem growing up. I think he would have to have many, many other traits to be a narcissist. Usually, if a narc idolizes and loves bombs you, they also devalue and tear you down. His delivery may not have been best, but I doubt the intentions were manipulative and for gain - which is solely for the narcs benefit, in the end, to get what they want. There's nothing wrong with holding yourself to a high standard, there is a balance that is needed. No one is perfect! Talk to someone to help sort out your anxiety and most of all be kind to yourself.
Ari Da Silva Oh no, my father isn't a narcissit, I don't think so, I didn't mean to imply that, if that's what I did. I agree, my father loves both my brother and I, and he didn't even say those things with an objective in mind like improving our self-esteem, he said those things because he truly believes them. To him we are the best of the best. I don't think neither of my parents are, or were ever narcissistic people. However, I may have been, or maybe just in a thin line. But I don't think so. My case wasn't the belief that I was superior to everybody else. My problem was that I HAD to be in some way superior to everyone else, and since I am not, because I'm just a normal human being, I got really depressed and I hated myself for not being what I thought I had to be, to value myself as a person. My mindset was "I am garbage, unless I meet these expectations". Wich is a very toxic way to live. My father didn't do it as a master plan or anything, it was just his way of showing love, even though a very bad one, he didn't have bad intentions, he probably also values himself trough his personal acomplishments, and most of all, trough the acomplishments of my brother and me, his sons. Thank you btw, I have always liked to talk about depression or mental health in general, and I think it helps me. Thanks to a cognitive therapy I did a long time ago, I've learned to not value myself by the things I do or acomplish, well, at least I've learned to be conscient about it. And when the negatives thoughts come, I just leave them be, and I try not to fall in the depths of my mind by following them. I currently may be having a relapse, since a few weeks ago. Or a few months maybe, but I have been way worst, so it's not that bad. I just need to organize my life, clean up my messy room, get out of the house, start doing some activity outside or whatever. I have started a new therapy, but I don't feel it yet. I don't plan on taking Zoloft again, it doesn't seem to help me as much as it did to my brother, and at some point I know I would just forget to take it, or get lazy, screwing up all the process like I've aready done the last time. I rather make a complete change in life style if I have to. How about you? Do you know a narcissistic person? I don't, I just saw the similarity in the belief of being superior or elite, but I'm pretty sure it's just one thing in common between depression and narcissism, and they are two completely different worlds I'm sure.
Hi Shogan Flamemasta - thanks for your reply and creating some context. I resonate with what you are saying. Feeling superior, or wanting to be superior is not a bad thing. I believe you should want to be a more superior version of yourself or strive to be a better you, or best-self on the daily. Be in competition with yourself and you will see the self-growth vs comparing yourself to others - it would all be in your perception anyway as others may see themselves in a completely different light than you or be totally fine being the way they are in that present moment - from their hair to their job to the way they just are. Have you listened to Abraham Hicks? She is the anxiety cure, it makes everything ok in the mind. Mental health is everything and you're wise to talk about it since it really does help. I enjoy discussing these topics too as there's always some new breakthrough and ladder to more enlightenment we can get to, if you'd like to hash them out I'm here. What is the root cause of your depression? I believe when we feel negative emotion, we are not in alignment with our true selves and our thoughts, nor are we probably living in the present moment and filled with gratitude. Don't think about what you lack, or you will never be happy, with or without meds!
To answer your question, yes, I knew a few, very close to me. From my grandmother to another woman who raised me when she passed in a foster home as well as two of my romantic relationships with men that exposed who I was really with. It's a challenge because once a narc has their claws in you from a very young age, you have to un-become this person who you've been and really do the self-work to not attract those types of personalities and heal all your wounds. With no contact and making a stand that I will learn to truly learn self-love has changed everything in my life. I made a decision to not let it bring me down and have been able to make leaps and bounds in my own mental health. I highly doubt you are a narcissist just by you questioning it. I used to question it all the time as well within myself, but I have too much empathy, compassion, and care for others which is what attracts these types of personalities. I'm doing the daily work and healing along with self-education which is a major help in me realizing the signs of toxic people in general as it can be sooo convert and looks different in each person, but once the mask is off it's pretty much the same monster underneath, I just want to catch these mf before the mask comes off! I'm getting so much better as all the signs are there early on if you pay attention and don't make excuses for their behavior. Take care of yourself and follow what energizes you, detach yourself from what depleats your energy and you'll be on the right track, depression will fade. Just don't stop doing the self work and most of all loving yourself.
Shogan Flamemasta omg you just described me. My dad would constantly try to boost me up to compensate my mother's lousy parenting and I was very confident as a little kid / probably borded on full fledged narcissist. However I'm starting to always put myself in high standards and I'm constantly feeling bad for myself for not being talented in this or that and I destest/ fear the thought of being just average. I'm scared that I come off as being too self centered and actually being a narcissist of sorts :/
No, u don't seem to classify for NPD they usually lack self awareness and wouldn't admit to being a narcissist
Too many "I know someone like this", and not enough "I'm like this"
ego defense mechanism
Would a narcissist acknowledge their narcissism?
@@Winstupidprizes88 i think some would
I’m like this
asdfghj how narcissistic is it to say you’re proud of it?
I had a Narcissistic friend a few years ago. We're no longer friends as I cut him off. He was completely full of it. He constantly bragged and only talked about himself. Everything he would say was either a lie or an exaggeration about himself. He lied to everyone about everything. All of his friendships and relationships were based off of lies about himself. He would constantly bully and put down those around him, in favor of himself. He was arrogant and had an extreme superiority complex. Always trying to make himself look like the good guy or hero in the situation, and make everyone else look bad. If you called him out on being wrong or being untruthful. He would becoming angry, arrogant and contemptuous towards you. Pointing out your flaws, backing himself up with more lies about himself, making you look bad. He was an asshole needless to say.
I knew the worst kind of narcissist at one point so I know where ur coming from, good choice to cut him off
Daniel your friend reminds me of my Ex
So is that vindictive type?
Amen
My moms exactly the same
Narcissistic person: Nah I'm not that. I'm just awesome.
If two seductive narcissists met would it be beneficial for the duo since they are both constantly feeding the others ego, creating a loop?
Interlude no because they always think they are better than others with a perfect view of them selves if that means the other narcissist will trying to feed them selves not each other n
No because there is no attraction, theyre not attracted to everyone, they have specific. Those validation seeking pathetic nice people are the easiest, Iam a pick up artist by the way , i only target aloof quiet girls who has a self confident of a brain dead
they'd probably end up trying to kill one another lol
oX- Keira -Xo tru tru
.-. no we will become competitive in short
Are all UA-cam beauty gurus and jock heads vloggers narcisistic?
Because one common theme in most of their videos is showcasing what "awesome" lives they have like "MY GIRLFRIEND BOUGHT ME A FERRARI", "NEW MANSION TOUR 2017", "FIRST-CLASS EMIRATES FOOD VLOG".
Absolutely. Most real celebrities are also narcissists.
Some spend the little money they have to fabricate a feel-good story of luxurious lifestyles and riches, all for a Like and a Subscribe, it's very sad. I think most of them are simply vain, as they are too emotionally frail and dependent to cause any harm to another human being.
Very probably. But I would also consider the possibility of doing it for the money, because they know it sells. In the end people consume the shit out of those youtubers, because of projecting their own insecurities into a safe, awesome and idealistic version of reality. So maybe they're not necessarily narcissistic, just generally good business strategists
미셜비 Yes, almost every successful person you know is narcissist.
altrogeruvah And a bunch of those videos are lies and click bait, which makes it even worse. It's just sad, really.
I Think i am a Narcissist. I was in a mental Health Clinic for 10 weeks till i got my diagnosis.
They said i've got chronic Depression , selfdestructive behaviour and a dependent personality disorder.
Dependent is the opposite of Narcissism, i think.
I Wanted to look dependent but i wasnt.
I used to look weak and hurt to get what i want and i lied every time, even to myself.
I Believed that i was the victim even if it was my fault and i knew it mostly.
Well... I learned out of it and just try really hard to not be like that again.
I dont want to hurt anyone again and i want to Work for everything i want like a real relationship. I just want to deserve it and i want to love and Value the people around me.
But the narcisstic Thinking isnt gone, it is still there like a Bad Version of me living always with me. It haunts me.
Narcissistic people can be dependent, actually they are more dependent than independent and are prone to using people as a means of getting what they want. I would know. Im a covert narcissist
@Wilde Grey :-)
Well the good news is that it takes courage to admit this
I hope you'll improve yourself and get better
Winnie now you know what it's going on with you and the point of you self reflecting is what matters you are going to be good and you will do good. Good luck
Just a quick reminder,if you are questioning if you're one or not... You are not the one who's narcissistic :)
this isn't actually correct. no where in the dsm-5 for npd does it state that people with narcissistic personality disorder can't self reflect or know that they are one stop spreading misinformation and demonizing narcissistic personality disorder
Not even remotely true. Stop spreading misinformation dumbass
What did you mean?
I'm obviously not a narcissist, Im too good to be one.
James That’s was the joke LOL
young forever
Beautiful Creature I'm to empathetic to be one. Even though I center my thougths around me and am not very interessted in other people. In the end I just don't care about others but would feel empathie if someone suffers and I could never hurt someone to gain something. Actually me not being interessted about what other people think shows that I don't need attention like an narcissist does.
I once thougth that I'm an narcissist but I studied threw a lot of videos and articles about narcissm and am for sure not one, but I think a lot of people have a few narvisstic traits that doesn't make them a narcissist. I think it's humane to be sometimes selfish it has something to do with the survival instinct not narcissim.
James shut up you fucking mong
Libera You are an introvert...
Could there be a mix of physical and mental narcissism? because i swear i've met people that are a mix of all types.
Yup!
Then question part two, is there a word for those types of people? and is there any chance that other people will see that they are narcissistic or are they just that good? Oh and Thanks!
There isn't a term to describe someone who's a combination of many of these as far we are aware. If the person is good, but they think they are the best, then they could be a narcissist. Narcissists have an inflated sense of self. No one is ever really the best.
Thank you, guys/guy!
I've just ran into people who are narcissistic and use people for their own personal gain, or even a game. Though i have realized this, many others still don't seem to see it that way, and was wondering if they ever really would.
I feel like the most annoying comment, sorry.
Hey Quinn, great question. Not at all. Sometimes people are not self aware or just don't care. If you can surround yourself with better people, that's always a good change.
I just realized I have been “friends” with a covert narcissist my whole life and I was too passive to even realize at the time...
PianaGlass It seems rather harsh to me imo. Regardless the truth is I never wanna see them again in my life :D
[[[ DRAGONIER ]]] If you don't mind me asking, how were you able to discern that your friend was indeed a covert narcissist?
Same right now I know she is (my friend) but I'm a overt narcissist and she's part of my of my 3 friends. But when I try to confront her, she always shuts me down with lies
Same now I have Terrible social anxiety.
Sometimes it is necessary to be blunt with covert narcissists. They sometimes don't know when to let go or respect your boundaries, and can manipulate you back in with tears. That's if they know you're receptive to that crap. Covert narcissists can be incredibly dangerous to certain sensitive individuals. Don't ever underestimate the mind control of a covert.
I know a few covert and probably vindictive ones.
Charming snakes I tell you, however you just beat em at their own game and stay educated. :)
@Vietnamese Trees If you can admit to being a narcissist, chances are, you aren't one.
Good advice :)
Did you just assume my narcissism?

Very interesting. But please remember that being a narcissist doesn't directly translate to being a bad person. I know several people who have really difficult lives due to their narcissism and are trying to fight it constantly
It is a disorder they do not fight with
@@megalightsfan4948 I don't quite understand what you mean. Could you please elaborate?
@@Siegmernes Narcissism is a disorder that they seem to be not aware of they do evil things without giving it any thought like they have no conscious
When I was young I suffered bullying and to fell loved or have friends I started to have signal of being a seductive narcissist because I was always trying to please everyone and receiving the same treatment. After that I started to show a little bit of the cover narcissist because of the way I thought about everyone. I used to think that if a person approximate you it is because they want something and after that I started to being friends with rich girls just to have benefits, just like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Now I'm actually way better and trying to be as true as possible
I mean i wouldn't say I have NPD but I am sexually attracted to myself
lemonsRsour dont hate me cuz I'm beautiful
FLW looooooool
SAME I CAN RELATE.
I used to fap to myself for a while.
Lol
Okey. Good for you? 😂😅
FLW i would do me fo'sure
I think I'm the cerbral one, I always think I'm smarter and always try to prove that I'm correct, but I'm not that sure if I'm narcissistic
No ur not, trust me narcissists don't admit to being one, they're too stupid and egotistical and also manipulative to give it away
Wouldn't it depend on why? I enjoy intellectual exercise for its own sake and would never enjoy an unfair fight. When i prove people wrong I'm trying to help not score points or look good.
Anal Lyons there could be the rare chance of a person with NPD gaining self awareness, I believe.
I think I'm a cerebral narcissist too 😢. Narcissism is fuckin ugly!!!!!!
Ugly I tell ya
It's like a curse or weight on your soul and you can get tangled in yourself or and if you combine with a soul that effects yours in a way that it offsets an internal stuggle it only builds the narcissism in your as you try to protect yourself from something but by protecting yourself you leave the other person out. It's very much a battle of self. I want to get rid of it. I want to heal and be normal. I'm feel emotional and can't even cry ffs. I fight with the two extremes of extreme positivity or at least wanting to be positive (which I thought was good for me and others) or extreme negativity. I really want people to understand that also sometimes the narcissist (speaking from experience I think) will try to shoo you away if he or she feels you might effect their mental and emotion stability, maybe they were fighting with narcissism all throughout their life and know some elements can offset it. Narcissists are extremely strong and weak at the same time and in different situations, sometimes a narcissist feels they are being strong and try to keep themselves together when it's actually best to let go and then build back up yourself carefully maybe.
I try to think of what might be the cause and but as there's so much information about placing blame and not taking responsibility I don't think it's relevant or right to involve other people or try to assess how someone may of had an effect on you, leave them be and accept the flaws of yourself.
I WILL see a mental health professional and I hope to actually fully understand myself and the issues I may have. I know for a fact I've treated people wrong and have been wreckless, I've being careless and cold. I really do feel terrible but don't know what to do and think it's best to leave whoever you have hurt alone. I just wish they could that if I could turn back the hands of time and had i had known about narcissism i would've ended the relationship (and I did try to numerous times and with truth about fear the our future if we continue) definitely and focused on working on myself....I didn't realise I had a problem. There's so much to this issue on so many levels it's like an abyss.
I hope you all indulge in information regarding this teach the children and safe guards yourself because there's alot of unnecessary pain and misery involved, alot of people suffering. Broken promises is another thing, I wanted to do what I promised but didn't have it inside me to make it happen which creates internal conflict on both Sides. Ignorance about narcissism is the worst because knowledge is power maybe you could control it or stop it knowing exactly what it's doing to you and others.
I've come across information about narcissism being a demonic spirit appropriating your soul or body and I will indulge further became I think it might be true. I believe there's a good but never truly trusted the manufactured channels of how to connect with God. I always felt like God was nature and the magic of life. All that I felt and saw to be truly beautiful was an extention or representation of God I believed but maybe I should get into practicing an actual religion. I believe there's demonic spirits involved because I've felt what has been described as narcissistic rage and have felt like killing myself (felt it a few times when I was much younger but had an episode last year when I actually felt overwhelmed with the feeling to do so my heart was beating fast I felt like I was going to have a heart attack or explode, I felt I could actually hear voices telling me to do it, it even felt like my actual vision wasn't clear like there was some sort of mist everywhere I turned. And as quickly as it engulfs you it can dissappear and leave you feeling so guilty, so ashamed, so foolish, so broken, so ugly, so confused and emotional because your soul is screaming 'why, why, whyyyyyyy???!!!....somebody help me' but you don't want to seem crazy and make the situation worse because I feel if you give in to the belief you are crazy and you actually aren't you will never have balance. I want balance, I thought being a libra will help me with balance.
If anyone has read this (many people don't like long comments) or can relate to what I've said I would appreciate if you express your thoughts and if there is a mental health professional reading this I want to ask, am I really a narcissist??
@ucanthandledatruth01

My parents have NPD. Don't need a professional to tell me. I grew up in the most toxic environment, I did my research too.
Courtney G how do you handle? I recently realized my mom is also showing signs of that and it eventually made me very very insecure about myself. I still am like that and I am looking for solutions
I don't even think it be possible to get a narc into a diagnosis
There is no help for a narcissistic person. They will wear out the therapist. Narcissistic people believe they are perfect, just avoid them
@@simonegrant417 not true no help for people with npd, but narcassistic people can get help.
Same here .. 😢
Am I a covert narcissist?
I always think everything is unfair to me. I’d say oh they’re just lucky or they’re successful cause they’re pretty, or they never have to work hard a day in their life. Sometimes I would subtly say things to imply these messages toward the person. Objectively I know I can’t judge people cause I don’t know their struggles but knowing my own struggles compared to others made me jealous so I make these excuses to why it worked for others and not me. I’ve never been praised or idolized in my life, mostly my life was always compared to other kids in the family so I started doing the same as an adult. I see myself as the victim, I even try to imitate the personalities of those successful people to get what they got and if nothing works I’d start getting irritated and isolate myself from these people. If im not surrounded by people that makes me insecured, it actually made me more self absorbed. I think I’ve acted this way so well people would label me imposter syndrome but I feel I’m the complete opposite of that. It’s the constant victim mentality and thinking I deserve better when objectively I know I don’t.
can you please make a video about borderline personality disorder if you have not .
Yep! It's on queue. Cheers!
Psych2Go I hope u describe how this was formed from attachment issues from childhood from unloving invalidation which gives birth to this disorder and how there is hope for us with CBT therapy. also how there is a lot of stigma against us and how we don't deserve that
there ars specific criteria necessary to become diagnosed and I hope that you will mention them like fear of abandonment
I guess it depresses me seeing many other channels overgeneralize what borderline is as well as make it hateful
hope that you will differentiate that unlike other channels
Yeah for sure. We can touch base on that. Thanks for sharing!
Wellness and Self Worth actually it's not just because of "bad childhood". There's also a biological component. I've been in group therapy with someone who has BPD and comes from a very warm, supportive family. Especially with BPD you see people being abandoned from their families because they're considered "difficult people", but this girls parents and sisters were a real support for her.
Last week I had another psychological testing after about 20 years and I don't have BPD. I'd love to rub that in some professional's faces 😜 You are so right about the negative way BPD people are imaged. Like, when they don't understand you, you must have BPD, because it could never be a lack of their professionalism, right? And if you have BPD, that seems to be an open invitation for all kinds of rude and sometimes even aggressive treatment. I really don't understand why. And I think it's quite harmful for the people suffering from this disorder. Wishing you all the best and hope you'll be able to learn more about how things work for you and how to get a more balanced, maybe even happy, life ❤️
This is one of the most manic and depressive disorders, my psych teach had a student that had this and she threatened to kill him. She's now not going to school, let's just say that.
I'M WATCHING IT! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW, UA-cam RECOMMENDATIONS?
That was actually a bad move. If you watch it it thinks you like it. Instead you should hit the 3 dots and "not interested" option to make things go away.
Now it thinks you like it. Click the ''not interested'' option
"yes. now your soul is mine" - yt rec
XD same...
Oh you will only get more 😂
I'm so immensely glad there's a disclaimer at the end. I wasn't worried I was really on the end of the spectrum, but I did notice some traits in my own doing and being, and was afraid this isn't normal.
Very informative and compact video. Very well put together. Thanks.
When i was a younger child, the doctor said i may become a narcissist in the future. Now i'm kinda starting to worry about it, firstly i joked about being a narcissist and jokingly saying i'm the best and stuff... But now it's starting to be kinda serious, i tend to consider myself better than anyone else of my friends, but i try to be nice and help everyone as good as i can.. when they say something that sounds to me like they're trying to be better than me, i start to get offended subconsciously. It starts to happen more and more
your probably not because narcissists have lack of empathy and wouldnt be nice to people
This sounds like a case of self-fullfilled prophecy, where you start to believe and become after in this case the therapist telling you would be one in later years.
I lived with a guy who was a narcissist. He was obsessed with being the greatest filmmaker ever and thought his needs came before anyone else's. He was absolutely deluded about his abilities as a filmmaker. He wasn't a horrible guy, but it did feel emotionally draining being around him.
God! Give Tarantino a break. RESERVOIR DOGS WASN'T HALF BAD!!
Omg.... are you from LA? I feel the same way about an aspiring filmmaker that I know in LA
Social repose in a nutshell
AnotherSocialReject wheeze
both of them are pieces of shit tho
AnotherSocialReject. Or onision
They hate each other because they are each other
Papajer0me both are garbage humans lol
This narcissism thing is kind of confusing for my situation. I mean, I always try to do my best to help my friends (or I think so), but sometimes a thought gets to my mind about "you're not nice, you're just trying to disguise the fact that you are an awful person". I have a friend who surely says it with the best of her intentions, but when I'm feeling very very down, she tells me that I shouldn't be narcissistic and that I should think about the other people. It's very confusing so I don't even know what to think about myself anymore, if I'm a really kind boy who wants to help his friends or if I'm a narcissistic person who's just trying to cover it up by acting nice.
Thank you for this video. I've recently ended a relationship with someone who displayed many of the signs of narcissism, and this video helped me understand why the relationship was so difficult and why it ultimately wasn't healthy for me.
Someone told me I was a narcissists, so I went and saw a psychologist. It turns out I was just retarded and that explains why I use spoons as forks.
I thought I was alone
LMFAO
😂😂this made my day
Lmaooo
LOL
We all have narcissist traits. Some show and stoke the flames of these traits more than others. Everyone can, when pressured to, exhibit these traits. Mostly it's not damaging though. (Btw I did see the end of the video)
Andrew humanity has small tendencies to be narcissistic, those who do so with no sense of morality are the ones who get sick from it.
Untrue.
Having a self/ego doesn't classify as narcissism.
Andrew yep humans are just self-interested and narcissistic creatures. Some of us will admit to it honestly.
ChaoticEvilCanary Hum..... no, not all humans are like you.
Andrew Yeah, there would not be any good students if noone was proud of gaining knowledge. And no art if no one was interested in beauty.
I believe I fall under the lines of seductive narcissism. I’m really Ashamed to have learned this about myself but I’ll do whatever I can with this given information to break away from the narcissistic tendencies that have defined me for so long. First step to fixing a problem is recognizing that it exists.
Back in highschool, I had a friend who only talked about herself and her problems. When others tried to do the same, she would cut them off mid sentence, or stare at other things and not pay attention to what others had to say. It didn't bother me that much since at the time I had a interest in human behavior and I enjoyed listening to others (I just graduated with BS in Psychology). Anyway, as time passed I realized she exhibited traits associated with NPD. It got to the point where I didn't tell her about my accomplishments since I knew she would get jealous and possibly spread rumours about me. I recall she used to tell me a lot of stories about other people in our friend groups. Mostly complaining how they don't pay attention to her.
I recall this day I got a student of the year award for a class we shared. I didn't tell her about it, especially since she admired our teacher and she believed she was his favorite student. She did ask questions when she noticed me talking to my teacher after class (he told me about the award that day). I just told her we were just discussing a assigment.
That sounds like she has other trauma based problems, not necessarily NPD
My ex was a chronic narcissist, and displayed each of these types depending on the situation. I knew this going in, and was hopeful that my love, commitment, and empathy would make the relationship work, but it never did. No matter how much I liked her core traits, her vapid lack of insight towards her own inability to see any aspect of the world outside her own self-centered bubble made any relationship she pursued, with either myself or anyone else, fruitless.
The irony is that while she could manipulate anyone she wanted to fuck or hangout with, all she wanted was a deeper, more meaningful connection - which she was viscerally incapable of forming as a person.
Many people in this comment's section are saying that two narcissists would make a healthy relationship, and this is absolutely true. They both feed off of that portrayed reality that the other believes in. No healthy individual should ever be involved with someone like this though, it is draining, dehumanizing, and will lead you to question your very sense of self - because the narcissist is physically incapable to admit to any issue in the relationship being their fault.
I'm sorry, but "chronic narcissism" made me laugh. You talk like it's some sort of disease 😃
Narcissists don't treat other people like shit. Those are just your regular garden variety assholes. A narcissist doesn't waste their valuable time on people they find to be inferior. They have bigger and better things to do.
Toa Onua I’m right there with you! I also feel like Social Media just pours gasoline into the already burning fire of narcissism as well. Being a millennial, it’s hard to date genuine, down to earth people that actually care to have a real conversation.
I was best friends with an abusive narcissist and after abusing me, controlling me, and making me seem bad if I tried to run from her, she never apologized. She maintains that she never did anything wrong, and will lie that all of the bad things she did to me, I did to her. The nerve of some people.
Toa Onua i couldnt describe the girl who broke me better
I'm five years trapped in the same nightmare with no end in sight. Even if I left again, we have a young child together so I couldn't simply disappear as much as I want to. I do contemplate suicide a lot...but I refuse to let him win in that way. Life with a narcissist with antisocial personality disorder is literally the worst mindfuck ever. Honestly, I'd much rather be beat. It hurts MUCH less.
I always know that I am in for a good video when Psych2Go pops up in my notifications! The differentiation between somatic and cerebral narcissists was new information to me, definitely interesting.
Glad to see your comment here too! :)
you fucking know they will say nightowls are god amongst men because 90% of this channel's viewer base is useless little fuck that cry over some stupid insult throughout the night

James well this comment section just got awkward. I'm outta here
60 Second Success I LOVE A FUCKLOAD OF OVERSIMPLIFICATION IN THE MORNING
My mom was a narcissist, so I unintentionally became one. Now I'm trying to fix myself by showing more empathy, respect for others, ect.
I think the woman I work with is a narcissist. She always talks about her life to me, for example a new kitchen she's getting, like ALL THE TIME. Almost daily I feel bad she's trying to make a conversation so I try to add to the conversation, and she cuts me off to say more boring stuff about her?! (like I never even started talking) Once I told her my grandad had just died. She didn't even look at me, kept her eyes on the computer screen and went "oh dear" in a very monotone fashion. Then paused and pointed out dust on the desk. Then acted like nothing happened. She stole a kindle from a package at work and when the boss confronted her she full on gaslighted him and said she never saw it. Stupidly she bragged about a kindle she won in a "general knowledge quiz" during the exact time frame to me. She lied through her teeth and cashed it in for £25. She isn't successful as you can tell she's desperate for money. She is very low functioning I think, motivated by money and attention but is not clever about executing her wishes. She doesn't even irritate me anymore, I love my job and she's like a weird thing I can observe. Once she bragged she only had 61k left to pay off her mortgage, I had to remind her that she bought the house for 61k and that she has an interest only mortgage. Honestly never seen anything like it. It isn't even a question I just need to let this out haha. I hope one day she is caught stealing properly and can't back out of it.
rexatron great story mate! I was married to a covert narcissist. Deep seated issues.
I think everyone, internally, has a strong feeling of narcissism. Some show it- others not.
We are inward focus inherently, so narcissism could be a manifestation of that.
No. Just narcs, like yourself.
I don't have the self confidence to be narcissistic.
Jake Zepeda but most people believe that their family or themselves are better than others in some way
Kali Kross are you sure? Because you obviously seem to think you're better than him making you have a embodiment of narcissism
The narc I know fits all 4.
If it bleeds, you can kill it.
Everyone has narcissistic tendencies and is beneficial. Where it becomes harmful is when it is abusive towards others. There are various degrees of narcissism because everyone has the freedom to express themselves differently and factor in childhood experiences through parental care, narcissism becomes difficult to diagnose and treat. Thank you for this video as this is helpful to those who need to identify narcissism and learn how to heal from it. I help empower you through the healing process because we cannot change anyone's behavior, only our own and healing comes from within. Thanks for this helpful message. :)
I think I’m one. My parents constantly degraded me throughout my childhood and now I can’t take constructive criticism without getting very defensive
I was accused of being a narcissist by a boyfriend who told the police I kicked him out of my home when he was living there, so they forced me to let him move in cuz he had never lived there, cheated on me even with my best friend who disgusted him just to show me I had nobody, and who punched me in the face cuz instead of getting upset at the voicemails he left me where he was screaming at me calling me all kinds of nasty stuff I just let out a slight "heh". He punched me because he said I was "invalidating his feelings." He was borderline. Anyway, despite the whole ordeal and him clearly being awful I still went to a therapist because although he was wrong about so much it doesn't necessarily discredit him for all things. She asked me why I thought I was. I said, "well, because I did handle his abuse strangely well, like it didn't effect me as much as it should have, but t hat might be due to the fact I never loved him because he never gave me anything to love and so it didn't really hurt. Then she asked me how I felt about the possibility I could be a narcissist (or a sociopath, was another option). I said, "well, I stayed up all night thinking about it after having researched what it meant to be either of those things. I cried all night long at the possibility I'd never really be able to connect to another person. It's scares me. It really scares me." Then I look over at her, and she's like.. covering her mouth cuz she's laughing.. And she apologizes and says, "MEGAN DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU JUST SAID AND HOW CONTRARY TO EITHER OF THOSE PROBLEMS THAT IS?" Then I started laughing and said, "oh yeah." LOL
What a shtory mahk
Megan May .... heh!
..
and then the entire bus stood up and broke into applause
Batu Khan that's how people tell stories about themselves and it's a long story about herself. how else she supposed to describe her own actions, in 3rd person? telling long stories about yourself doesn't make you a narcissist. i got something out of it so maybe it was meant for others and not her own ego
This is a real eye opener for me. I've had my suspicions of the people around, close or not, on whether they have a good level of confidence in themselves or have a legitimate narcissistic problem. These videos really do help a lot, so thank you for making them!😃
Glad you found this helpful in differentiating people :)
@Psyche2go ... I love all your videos . Thank you so much for helping me out a lots of time ! 😄
All I can think of is Hollywood, big business and politics
I'd just like to point out that narcissists crave attention in order to inflate an ALREADY inflated ego, even more. If you crave attention because you often feel empty and have low self esteem, it could be more likely that you aren't a narcissist but still have some sort of cluster b personality disorder. A lot of them have similar traits but different defining characteristics.
Kelly Rodgers I think I might be that ; i often seek validation from other people because i feel like shit about myself really , it's selfish and sucky but Idk how to break out of the cycle yet.
I thought i could be a narcissist actually, ableity a more covert one , But I'm scared of hurting other people and ending up alone
Kelly Rodgers though I'm diagnosed with autism as well tho
Not really, narcissists feel empty inside and their self-hatred is immense. That is why they need to cultivate this false image of themselves and they need everyone to acknowledge that false image to be true. There is nothing they wouldn't do to protect that image and their mind. They literally protects their mind from the truth.

Have you guys done a video on schizophrenia? I know someone who has been diagnosed. It's not severe but I still want to help, although I don't entirely understand it and I'd like to understand it better so I can help in anyway I can.
We haven't done one yet. May we ask who that someone is? And how long has it been since they were diagnosed?
Psych2Go I don't know how long she's been diagnosed, I think maybe a year or two maybe? She's pretty embarrassed about it, so I don't think she'll want me to give anyone her name but she's in a couple of my classes. One of her hallucinations is this human looking creature I guess you could say, and it threatens her and tells her everything she sees is 100% real even though it's not.
+Ellamated 030 - I like the video from BBC Three called "Things Not To Say To Someone With Schizophrenia."
You might also want to watch some of the TEDTalks videos on schizophrenia to see if you learn anything, and to perhaps pass on to your friend to show that she's not alone.
The channel TED has "The voices in my head | Eleanor Longden," and the channel TEDx Talks has " I Am Not A Monster: Schizophrenia | Cecilia McGough | TEDxPSU." I recommend both videos. Hope this helps!
Ellamated 030 did you get diagnosed with a learning disorder such that you cannot work the "google"
Yeah its called being pyschic and perceiving non physical entities.
Beautifully concise and to the point. Good video.
Great video, how on earth did you find a way to simplify this topic without being bias is beyond me. I honestly love this objective presentation. Couldn't of said it better myself. All this information in only 3 minutes??? Kick Ass!
This explanation is very limited and focused on the idea that narcissists are evil. It's a pity that so much work went into the presentation, but so little into making it more gray instead of black and white.
Narcissists are very hurt inside and the narcissistic character trait is a way to cope with a severe lack of confidence. It's a means to hide this from oneself. Most narcissists do not know that inside they really feel not worthy of anything.
This video will only alienate people, making someone "the bad one". Instead we should strife for more understanding.
Read somewhere that there's an inferiority complex beneath every superiority one and vice versa. I assume it's accurate enough because it's accurate for me.
Absolutely.
Fulphilment narcissism is when you love yourself. Having a low self esteem but putting others down and trying to act all that isn't narcissism.
Fulphilment that's a broad assumption
Exactly. What's more rational, treating an illness or punishing someone for it?
The two weaknesses of a narcissistic person:
1. Self-awareness.
2. Cynicism. Basically the polar opposite of narcissism.
beat them at their own game
Is cynicism like self-doubting?
What is Cynicism?
I'm amazed by the fact that you nailed the word narcissism so many times
I need my hand crafted self image to feel good about myself. The thought that I might not be special, unique or gifted in some way makes me feel anxious and out of control.
Reminds me of my coworkers.
VersionBest tee hee
Server life. 💀
My mother has NPD and it's extremely hard to be around her as she's very emotionally and verbally abusive. I can't do anything to get away from her. This video was very accurate, thank you for helping to spread the word about this disorder.
I had never encountered any of those untill I got into high school.
i just wanna say i seriously love the art style
When you find 3 diamonds on your 420th night in Minecraft
Google: is it narcissism if you are actually better than everyone else
You can't be. You might be better than others in some aspects, but not in all. It balances out.
true narcissists wouldn't worry if they had these traits or they'd just deny it all together
My boyfriend has been diagnosed with npd and he's a really nice person to everyone who's nice to him. I don't see any of these trates reflect on him exept that he has really high self confidence.
I was diagnosed with NPD and ASPD comorbidity, this video helped me figure out what kind of narcissist I am so thanks (Covert if you’re wondering)
If you're wondering if you have narcissism.. you don't. Narcissists don't think anything could ever be wrong with them.
That's bs. Do some research.
If anyone (else) doubts this statement, ask an actual admitted narcissist. He'll tell you "Yes of course. Why would I love myself if I didn't think I had reason to? If I doubted myself I wouldn't think I'm perfect. Perfection is the absence of doubt."
Aka narcissism is the absence of self-doubt. It's the very definition of the word.
Julia Lewis boo
"The absence of self doubt" sounds like you're describing confidence.
Confident ppl don't think they're better than anyone else. They just believe that they (which may even be their team) will succeed in whatever goal they're working towards, none of the other bullshit this video describes. A confident person isn't necessarily all about themselves.
U need a better definition.
Social media is making it worse
My husband's ex-wife falls into all if these....
Especially the Vindictive Narcissist...with a truckload of toxic religious beliefs
She recently accused him of something quite serious because of some animations thier young daughter made...which I've seen and would lead me to have the birds and bees talk...but she took it to a very dark place with no justification to withhold his daughter. In court she had no evidence to support her claim. But now she's planted this dirty seed that never should've been in her daughters head.....
As long as she gets what she wants, she really doesn't care who she hurts.
cool drawing and presentation, thanks
I can't believe it... I'm early. I just love your videos
Glad to see you're early! Early birds get the worms.
aah shoot, cause im always late
haha! Where are you located Quaskie?
Psych2Go early birds get the worms,second mouse gets the cheese but night owl gets the mouse .
+Excalibur ! Best comment EVER! Ha
My biological mother is very narcissistic and she is pretty spot on for these signs. Thank you for making these videos, I love your channel and can understand all of this easier, even with things I already relate to
Jake P. And Logan P.
Are narcissism
Jake is overt, what's Logan?
They are sociopaths
I am a halfway Vindictive Narcissist. I am near the left of the spectrum, but most definitely ready to change whenever necessary. Sometimes I use my narcissism as a weapon to use against others, rather than them using it against me. I’m kind when I want to be, and invulnerable when I need to be. And by invulnerable, I mean I destroy my oppressors. Both literally and figuratively.
I am defenetly a narcissist. But i don't think that makes me a bad person. Yes I do feel superior to others but still tend to not show it and I actually try to be a good person.
It's your actions that count. Not what's inside of you.
Alexander Atanasov what makes you superior? Like you should question yourself when it comes to weird things your mind makes you believe. We’re are the same shitty humans who bleed the same blood and who will die the same way. At least you try to be a good person. Actions are important.
Alexander Atanasov relatable
Turqoise English is not my native tongue
Alexander Atanasov thinking that you are better than other people doesn't make you a narcissist. This video is very brief, it is more about comparing the types of it not the definition of it. You might just be better in some ways and confident about it.
Who else thinks this describes Matt
Who's Matt?
Noooo not the face
NIGHTCORE ANYTIME Game Theorists?(?
Are we talking about Mat Pat? I had a feeling...
Wilfred Cthulu I thought we were talking about Eddsworld
A really good video. Thank you for sharing 😁.
Being the daughter of a narcissist, I've had first hand experience with the dangers of trusting someone who has this issue. They will always win, even if that means you get injured....not part of their equation. Your problem. Not something they did to you. Whine to someone who cares..etc. I know a lot of people feel that our POTUS has a magnetic ability to rule. From my prospective as a survivor of this pathology, we are in deep trouble.
I hope you are able to get out of that or call a helpline
TMIDiva at that point id give them as little as possible since everything is fuel now.
TMIDiva *perspective
TMIDiva I think you just confused nsrcissism with sociopathy. The two go hand in hand often but they are pretty much different. Narcissism is all about praise of the self and desiring to be praised by others. Sociopathy is using people like tools and manipulating them, often destroying them ig necessary, without empathy or remorse. Sociopathy oftentimes involves narcissistic individuals but not all narcissists are sociopaths.
Know that it's not your fault that you trusted them. Narcissists are master manipulators and you were unable to know any differently as a child. As a fellow person raised by narcissists, I wish you hope and that you are able to distance (or totally detach) yourself from these negative types of people. On the bright side, you will more easily be able to recognize narcissism in others and avoid those types of people in future. For any survivors, therapy is a great tool to help you learn it was not your fault and you weren't the "crazy" one. All the best to you.
Sometimes I worry I'm a narcissist.. It's definitely not intentional.. but I kind of feel like everyone in a way is.
I feel ya... I think its a must if you wanna succeed at anything but I think that just means self involved but not putting other down which is what narcs do.
I mean everyone cares for them selves just not like a narcissist does
I had a friend that was 2. Then he evolved into both 2 and 4.
I try to avoid being narcissistic so much that when people compliment me I seriously don’t know what to say back. I usually just say “thanks!” Or “oh thank you” but I don’t feel good about it. I even feel weird commenting this because it confirms that I do get compliments.
I lack confidence in fear of it becoming more narcissistic. Jeez sometimes I think being proud of stuff is narcissistic.. I’m starting to think talking about myself at all is narcissistic. I don’t know why I do this, it just happens.
If you can notice that your narcissistic then you also have the capacity to change to the same degree with which you recognize your narcissism in the first place.
I thought the trash can was a popcorn box
I was worried when I went into this but coming out of it I learned that I'm not a narcissist, but that I am really mean to myself
awe you made a video about my mom! shes going to love all the attention she got!
I'd like to say that as an actual narcissist, this representation of what is, was very vague. It kinda pained me to watch this because there are many other types of narcissistic personalities that don't really have a name in a textbook
Your Mom it wasnt saying these are all narcissists it just said these were common ones
Your Mom yeah there called, fucking freaks
I actually think my former bully was a mixture of overt and seductive. She often gloated and told me that she was high above anyone as low as me, but then she constantly played hot and cold and blamed her mean ways on other aspects of her life. And now that I think about it, she would also commonly pit my brother against me since he was young and influential. I honestly have no idea where she truly stands.
Laura M a lot of them send mixed signals and manipulate you to make you paranoid and feel like you’re the crazy one. My mom tells me she loves me and admires my character traits and talents but then she constantly criticizes me, shows a lack of confidence in my abilities, intervenes in my personal matters for what seems like the mere sake of boosting her sense of control and superiority.
My birth mom was abusive towards me as child. She tries blaming her mistakes and wrongdoing on my faternal grandma after all these years by calling her selfish, when she is in fact the one who is. What sort of narcissist behaves in matter, she might be the overt narcissist if I am correct.
Either way she's clearly manipulative, cut her off and don't feel bad
Overt, Covert and Seductive are things I feel are similar to me, but I was told not to worry about being a narcissist so I'm going to just not worry about it.
thanks man, this was very informative and helpful.
I feel that nobody deserves to be in a relationship with the narcissist, they are terrible people who feel grateful to God for my friend who referred to a hacker and I managed to break my narcissistic partner and see all the necessary evidence for a divorce and even the terrible things they have planned to contact Mike to help he's a genius by contacting him on instagram @mikeswilfred or text / whats-app +15182175945 or his email hackerelite0077 @ gmail .com
Coincidentally, I had a notification after this video that is about Zen from Mystic Messenger
