      Wow...the number 14 made me eyes wide open😮 I often refer to a “real me” big time imposter syndrome. I literally have no reason to.

    This is awesome. I have a terrible shadow self, I am often afraid of a part of me that is chaotic and won't make any moves in life unless there is a feeling of complete control. This controlling part of me, I have no idea where it comes from. But I feel it is a part of a shadow self inside. I did feel like about 4 of these shadow selves were somehow a bit like me. This makes me see myself and others in a completely different light.

    .Everyone knows how to say things better or to formulate things differently than how I do it. I am starting to doubt whether I can still believe or trust myself. Being insecure is very tiring. I feel stupid for not having a college level. The experiences I have had are unverifiable and many memories I cannot share because I have been alone for too long.

      Terrie not everyone has the gift of the gab (communicates brilliantly) most of us struggle and hope we get enough right for others to even understand us at normal level.
      Sometimes you also have to look at who you are using as your model or who is telling you you are bad at it. Internally often they are no more secure than us.
      Good communicators have that skill but the lack other skills you may have and they desire so don't write yourself off, be sure someone else hasn't.

    thank you for that, this is a list of people I feel I´ve grown out of, partially or fully and it´s being reaffirmed by others as well over the years, now i feel, the reintegration part should kick in, i notice now how different i react to these types when i encounter them in respect to when I was younger, so much so i went back to some to check and I agree that when i set firm bounderies or simply demand things, not even asking for it but they see i want something inside that they can´t give they act out or back off and copt out, i recently had a telling conversation witth a close family member, these are often the last once to notice or rather to accept, he asked me about an old friend he knew and i said we are not in tatsh since some years as she changed and he said, sometimes we dont notice how much we´ve changed ourselfes... gradually loosing intesret in me seeing the old tricks don´t work, i get partially angry but still hold my ground, meaning i´ve changed a lot and i think i did, it´s a healthy path, i´m an adult not any longer a very young one so it´s bout time and i´m happy and a bvit proud about that change, though there are some needs of integrating these left behind types in a better way, so the topics you raise in these videos are helpful, that´s what I´ve been wondering about, I think awarness is important it´s though much easier for me then implementing the new changes, understanding was at the beginning there to a good degree though it seems emotional understanding and action take time and after all couredge and some horror, past the horror stage, cathardic, I´m there in my mind but that´s not enough, I´m in the desert with a coffee and a pen taking notes and the bounderies between narcissism as a stepp to nothingness that should not be the endstage speaks much to me, thank you for your insides, I listen carefully.

      If you're sure, you should integrate it. He says (Sam Vaknin) that you should now integrate it, he also says in a part of the video, that he will make a video/(s) about it in the future.
