    Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health condition characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. And here I discuss my own personal experience living with narcissistic personality disorder. Including the symptoms and behaviors associated with this disorder, as well as how it has affected my life. I also share some of my coping strategies and how I have been able to manage the disorder, along with helping you understanding your loved ones and their behaviors that may seem almost incomprehensible and potentially hurtful. Hopefully, my channel will provide insight into what it's like to live with narcissistic personality disorder, as well as what it's like for your loved ones. Thank you for watching!

    My experience is that the ”warning” in the beginning of a relationship often is so far from the truth that it’s closer to a “lie by omission”. If you say things like “I’m horrible when I’m angry” to a person who hasn’t been with someone really abusive before, they won’t understand what you’re saying. So if you’ve done a lot of really shitty things in relationships before and “warn” someone by saying something self-deprecating in general instead of giving concrete examples it’s closer to creating a get out of jail card than giving a warning in many cases. (I’m not talking about you here, Jacob, but rather in general terms.)

    This is so spot on. I always warn them in the beginning. “I’m afraid I’ll hurt you.”,
    “I’m bad for you.”, “I’ll destroy you.”, “you can do better.”, “I’m toxic af.”
    I always deify my partners. To me, they’re like this goddess that I worship. But I know this idealistic beauty will eventually dissipate and what’s left is a terrible succubus who has manifested to destroy my soul, to hurt me in every way possible, to bring to life all of my greatest fears. It’s all in my head, but it feels so real. So I act differently towards them, I feel attacked and so angry, so I lash out. I ignore them. I accuse them of things that I feel is real, but isn’t. I feel like this happens when they no longer see me the way I see myself when I’m grandiose. It’s like something switches on and off in my brain. Idk.
    I know deep down that this is in my head, it’s a projection of my fractured mind. But I can’t make it stop. It always happens. No matter how much I feel like I love that person, no matter how much I try, I can’t make it go away.
    This is what I mean by, “I’ll hurt you”. Of course, this hurts me immensely too, so that’s why I often ghost people or leave people prematurely. I see the signs and I leave before it gets messy.

    This is me in romantic relationships in a big big way ;~; which is odd because it’s not that way in all other types of connections. I used to say I was “bad” because I couldn’t think of another way to describe it, and people wouldn’t understand, thinking I meant I was an unkind person, but I think instead of bad being cruel it’s bad being expired, like rotten… like giving a person a half baked cake, literally a half-formed human without the parts required to be someone that another person can be with. I always feel like there’s someone better for them, that they deserve more than what I can’t give them, and I will end things for that reason. It’s kind of scary, because I feel like they are looking at me and not seeing what’s missing inside, and it makes me feel so much guilt and a fear I can’t really explain…. But it feels like yelling into a cold tunnel… Heavy stuff…. Also been a while hope you’re well!

    real. i think its a cluster b thing maybe cause i have bpd not npd but there's a lot of overlap in traits, i feel. i feel like when someone surface-level likes me, it's almost like i'm tricking them because they don't know how bad i really am yet. so, i may say things like "you wouldn't want to be with me" and things like that or "you're going to regret being kind to me" or "you're going to end up stuck with me, are you sure you like me?". it's like i'm afraid if they get too close, they're going to hate what they see, realise how inadequate a partner i am, realise i can't give them what they want, and that i ask for too much/i'm too needy, and then they'll leave, but also i desperately want them to see the truth, despite this fear because i don't like the idea of them having this disproportionately "good" image of me because it won't last no matter what and they'll end up disappointed when i end up revealing myself to be even more pathetic than i appeared to be through my actions later.

    You asked for us to post how that made me feel to hear his self-deprecating comments: it made me feel like i needed to reassure him (which i did) but also made me feel like if he thinks i deserve better and i stay with him, then is that saying that i don’t think i deserve better? There really was no winning those arguments- so were perfect set-ups by my ex to say. I think maya Angelou said it best “when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time”
    I wish now i had let his silent treatment after telling me i deserved more be the end, because he continued to toy with my feelings and desires for a relationship another 2 months. In the end, he had his self fulfilling prophecy come true, and he discarded me (and managed to make me feel bad about myself!) i hate that he projected his shame and low self-worth on me. Took me a year to get over it and rebuild , but i have learned a lot about narcissism! Take care, Jacob. Try not to get into relationships if you only think you will ultimately hurt the girls.

    My mother is a covert narcissist. Dad a codependent enabler. I was the golden child, never knowing where my mothers needs ended and mine began, so to speak. Quite cliche. I can’t remember anyone ever criticising my mother (even constructively, with good intentions) and it ending well. My sister was the scapegoat, was cruelly taunted and emotionally neglected and now has Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder as a coping mechanism developed during childhood. I have severe anxiety and depression. My advice to all you self-proclaimed narcissists - if you want to stand out from the crowed & wear a metaphorical badge of honour at the end if your life - don’t procreate.

Being able to take control of a crowd and lead them. His humor his hard work at work. His charm is very attractive. His intelligence in certain subjects. Things I don’t process.
    And he said I was intelligent in all the ways he was not. Also he was better for me then I was for him. Also I deserved better, and he was a pathological liar and was living a double life.

    This hits home.
    After becoming aware of a lot of my dysfunctions, I would constantly warn and push away intimate relationships.
    I believed I would poison them, currupt them.
    Yet its so conflicting, because at the core I know I can be very kind, affectionate and loving, yet the otherside of me takes over.
    I push them away, until they'd had too much, only then can I see what I've done and there is an immense level of shame and more hatred for myself, which further makes me believe I can't let anyone get close to me.

    "you're too good for me" "I don't deserve to be loved by you" "protect yourself from me"
    The most odd remark to me was "I cannot push you away, I won't" it was brought up randomly and I failed to ask if he feels that would happen. Shortly after that the pushing started and all I could do was watch it happen. In the end I got a Tool song with lyrics "Remember I will always love you as I claw your f***ing throat away. It will end no other way"
    I left, you can't stay around someone who is punishing you for loving them.
    Reasons why I didn't really listen, we had been close friends for years, mutual attraction but never crossed over into relaity bc of circumstances, until we did. Then things got weird. I never would have believed a friend who is very self aware would switch up on me like that and shut down after being open for years.

      Mine made a habit of announcing each stage of his behavior change by saying the opposite or almost setting me up to fail. Like when I said it made me feel really good when he was open about how attracted he was to me- his response was "I'm glad. I'll make an effort to make sure I tell you more often then!" And that was the last of the compliments I got, when they had been fairly regular until then. Or when he said "I feel a really deep connection to you, and normally I'd run away but I find myself coming closer." That was the beginning of the end and the start of his withdrawal and sabotage. And when he said "Next time something happens with your truck, please call me. I'll come help you." So the one time I did, he freaked out and accused me of guilt tripping him into coming to my rescue like some knight in shining armor. Even when he was being left on read by a friend and venting to me, I agreed that it was hurtful and made me feel shitty too. The very next day was the first time he ever left me on read, and he did it more and more as time went on. He too warned me that he was garbage, and that I'd eventually get tired of his shit- which was before any of his sabotage started, so I thought it was just self depreciation and low self esteem, rather than a declaration of the inevitable. Very sad. He's a good person inside, but lost in toxic patterns.

    Thank you for this video. So much of your content gives me insight into the thinking of my NPD ex. He never said that he wasn't good for me, instead he looked me straight in the eye and said, "You need to ask yourself if I can fulfill your emotional needs?" Of course I said yes but the doubt was already there because of some of the behaviors he'd begun exhibiting. I ended up leaving him not long after. I had to, to save myself. I loved him very much, I probably always will, but I couldn't continue to live with him and be torn into emotional shreds regularly. Leaving was the hardest thing I've ever done in my entire life and so have been the months since as I've come to terms with my own abandonment issues. Again, thank you.

    You believe you are a bad person, because you were treated like a bad person in childhood. That belief was engrained in you because as children, we literally cant view our parents as "bad" people. So if they treat us badly, it MUST mean we are bad. Over time, that belief became ensconced in you. So as you go through life, you subconsciously act out in ways that validate the belief that you're a bad person.

    Your videos are so helpful. The insight you provide is invaluable. I loved my ex so much. We had a baby together. He REALLY hurt me emotionally. I was so angry because I was so hurt and didn't understand why. I started watching videos about narcissists and things started clicking into place. I was someone who he trusted. I have cPTSD so I understand how it feels to dislike myself to my core. I know what he's been through. I know what his mom and dad are like and so I started viewing him as someone who is deeply traumatized. I realize that he deserves love as much as anyone else. We are not together but I stay connected with him (not in a codependent way). When I told him I loved him, I meant it. I check on him, I send him mental health videos that I believe will resonate with him but not scare him. I tell him I have seen his dark side and I still see him as a valuable person. He has hurt me terribly and he is still worth loving. Your videos help confirm what I'm thinking because I have no idea what it's like to have this disorder. But I will try to understand why he is doing something and I'll have an idea and you'll confirm it. So you have really helped me not be angry and just love and care about him for him and not who he "could" be.

But i would demand from them what they won't provide and so it'd be fine in the end anyways. Maximum, full transparency and no limits to communication. Any deviation or BS would be taken ultra seriously, but wr know that women narcs won't be able to do this naturally 😂 Only weak women/men can't accept that showing weakness is a sign of emotional strength and trust; which is hyper-valuable to normal people. So yeah, i am not counting on the weak in the end.

    ● About the innocence you're talking about, I see it as a different thing (I may be wrong).
    Maybe is not lack of innocence, just different priorities. We are able to see when someone is better than us in differents aspects of life, but this is not really important for us because we have other priorities than be better than another one.
    For you maybe this is actually a priority and then the difference is this: different priorities.
    For example, when I see someone better than me in "one aspect", my priotity is to learn from them because I think is going to be good for me to know more about "that aspect", but I don't try to be better than them for just to be, because I don't think this is important, is not my motivation.
    ● About being good or bad person: I think that for neurotypical people is easy, but for you is not, and you are trying and trying and learning. You choose to do good even if a lot of times is difficult.
    That doesn't make you in any case evil. That makes you a person with good intentions.

I recognize now we both lacked maternal love as children and we were trying to find that in each other. The self deprecation made me feel like I was being set up to fail them.

      I’m not a NPD, I’m a BPD. I am fairly certain that the devaluing happens around the end of the honeymoon phase- when the happy chemicals in our brains relax a little and that “high” is no longer calling all of the shots. Healthy people have built up a strong bond based on trust and mutual respect that keeps the relationship going. Narcs and BPD’s don’t have that. If a narc isn’t receiving their narc supply anymore- they are gunna stop wanting to be with you. And so it begins…

    If you're attracted to and/or value people who you consider to be good or virtuous, then why can't you also be good or virtuous yourself? I consider personality/what we 'are' to generally be our actions, and people have the capacity to align our actions with our morals and values, even if we occasionally fail. But I guess you somewhat answered my question -- you alternate between admiring 'good' people and seeing them as better than you and looking down on them as being naive or inferior. So do you actually want to be 'good' (according to whatever your own definition of good is)?
    I can relate, I think, from the other end of this dynamic which is why I'm so interested in this. I'm BPD and seem to repeatedly be in relationships with people with NPD. Seem because none of these people have been diagnosed (and yeah, its an internet trend to diagnose all your exes you're mad at with NPD). It does feel like a reoccuring pattern in my BPD/NPD-style relationships that the very qualities that end up attracting us to each other ultimately disgust us. I've experienced what you describe where the NPD person initially seems to see me as this angelic person (which is obvious splitting and unrealistic, this certainly isn't my internal experience of myself) and then eventually ends up treating me as though they regard me as weak and stupid. On my end though, I think I do something similar to the NPD person. I alternate between admiring them and depending on them for seeming more confident, capable than me, better at making decisions or standing up for themselves, etc and eventually feeling disgusted by the more interpersonally exploitative aspects of NPD. But even with the negative/bad aspects I alternate between admiration and disgust. IE I am superior to this person moral, but I feel inferior because I allowed them to abuse or dominate me. So I've felt this same internal confusion withinin myself. Why do I feel inferior to people who abuse me? Is this the kind of person I want to be?

    I don’t think it’s normal to be indifferent to an ex-partner until long after the breakup. You’ve invested time, energy, and emotion into that relationship. It’s natural to feel grief over that loss… It’s been nearly a year since my breakup, and I would still do anything to hear from my person and for our future (shared fantasy?) to be revived.

    I accuse the narcissist of false advertising. They are unable to be in a romantic relationship and are up in their head way too much. There is no reciprocity, they are empty vessels unable to connect. So I agree, it is bad to pretend you can give something when you can't and you are wasting my time. It is one big mind f^&k

    Question for you. I hear what you're saying that people with NPD are trying to warn the other person because they believe they are inherently "bad." It sounds like a Narcissist would attribute their "bad" behaviors to their core person, but their "good" behaviors to their mask. Is that correct? Is so, what is the rational for that?

    • @kateashby3066
      @kateashby3066 7 місяців тому +1

      The rationale is that it’s true. I am the yin to the narc’s yang. I have borderline personality disorder. I hide my true self all the time because it’s ugly and scary, and sometimes pathetic. So I put on this mask for the general public and do my best to act normal. Now, I’ve been in recovery for many years and my true me is healing and becoming a very brave, self-aware person. But I still wear a mask everyday to hide the constant judgment I have running through this insane ADHD brain of mine. And to hide the anxiety, anger, or sadness.

    Empaths and Narcissists are frequently attracted to each other, as their early years often contain overlapping trauma. However, they grow in different directions, into basically different species.
    Empaths are like dolphins, narcissists are like sharks. There’s nothing wrong with sharks, they definitely have a beneficial function in the ocean. However, a shark and a dolphin together - just does not work. What does work is staying within their own species. There’s also middle of the road people/“normal” people, but they don’t seem to get involved with narcissists much.

    In general if someone tells you who they are or expresses concerms about the negative externalities of their behavior you benefit from believing them. This goes for anyone mentally ill or neurotypical. If someone tells you I have X issue or I perceive you in this unhealthy way thats a bad sign. Maybe not enough to quit a relationship all together but something to pay attention to
