      I’m confused bc so far all the research I’ve done points to narcissists do not get cured & don’t care to get cured. If you are one, but you’re helping people like me learn I’m not safe, then are you a rare type? A milder type? Are there levels? Mine seems to be one of the worst and as of rn he knows I know he doesn’t care I’ve seen his interactions & proof he cheats in all levels now before was just emotional cheating but he found a new source. All my family & friends live out of state however & I just got a 2nd job so I can get my own apartment bc Tx requires proof of 3 times the rent

I am a victim I’ve recently found out, and everything I hear on this video and others I’ve watched is EXACTLY what I’ve been dealing with. Word for word. I just find it weird how this pattern no matter what is so exact.

    I'm a man and my wife is the narcissist, it's taken me 23 and a half years of marriage to work this out. She fell pregnant when she said she was on contraception so we got married, I believe I was tricked and trapped from the start, she knew I'd do the right thing by her. I was a good guy, learnt to hate myself due to her, till I realised what she truly is. I was always hopeful there was good in her, and she was so convincing as she said what I thought I wanted to hear. She cheated at least twice, and I learnt she was hitting on other men before my third child was born, she is now 18. What's more, is the kids hate me and not her. She does as you say, talks to others to make me sound crazy. I found God and she can't handle the truths I now know, including about her. I'm in the process of leaving, the house will be sold. And even now she wants things that are mine that she doesn't even know how to use. I used to want to help her, I just want out and to help myself now. I said I know who she is, and she started calling me a narcissist even though I didn't use the term myself. I warned her friend today, I hope he watches more closely and doesn't fall for the same tricks, but I can see he is already.

She went to a whole new level of abuse as a result and burned our relationship and marriage completely to the ground.

      I would keep the doors locked and not let him in if he won't leave and starts shit I call the police, u do what ever i had to do, get a restraining order against him, also record any conversation or any kind of abuse that can be used against him as well as any pics of abuse if he goes that far as well, but try to get all the evidence that you can get..

    I never called my ex a narcissist to his face. I figured out based upon his behavior that he was one after the fact..... he ignored me nonstop... and when I discovered he cheated that was after he was already threatening to leave me. It makes sense now.

    My neighbors wife was a malignant narcissist. Treated her husband brutally. She landed up in a home in her older age. After a year she wanted to come back home. The husband picked her up,brought her home,and killed her,Then killed himself. The slow agonizing torture these demon narcissists are!

    I called my ex a narcissist and he told me “Narcissists and sociopaths aren’t known for their apologies. I apologized to you a few times already.” He did, but they were empty meaningless generic blanket apologies like “I’m sorry for everything” and “I’m sorry for hurting you.” There was no accountability or remorse. I’m convinced since he knew the terminology, someone he dated before me must have called him one too. I believe he was trying to save face and throw me off by making me second guess myself. I wouldn’t budge and shortly got discarded right after and he blocked me everywhere. He knows I know and I’m now a threat. I found out about the cheating because he gave me multiple STDs. He has no one to blame but himself. He was very reckless. Ben, if you see this comment, do you agree? Does it sound to you like someone he dated before me also called him one?

    I can relate to experiencing the last 90% of your video. Although he never did get violent, he would occasionally make me seriously wonder it he wasn't plotting my death as he would clinch his fist and raise his arms and growl. Or give me that blank stare and later get that ever so slight and brief smirk of satisfaction on his face when he won at his reactive abuse. Towards the end, I wouldn't leave anything I was drinking around him as I'm I'm not into poison. I did keep my bedroom door locked as I don't care about the idea of pillow suficaion either. But then again, my thinking to him was if you're ballsy enough to take me out, then you're joining me. I may have had weak boundaries at that time in my life, but that didn't mean that I didn't have my limits and they were only going to be crossed a limited number of times. He's gone now ( moved out) for almost 3 years now, no contract from either party. Funny thing was when I once asked him why he said he was " in love with me his reply," you're independent, and you don't take crap off people. Apparently, he thought he was an exception to that standard. So much for his attitude of entitlement, unaccountable, and superiority.
    This woman ( me) raised myself from a young age with no help. That makes anyone toughen up quick. I may have been a victim as a child, but I chose long ago not to stay a victim as an adult.

    My narcissist husband saw my youtube history of all the videos I'd been watching about what narcissists are and how to identify their behaviour. He used that to learn the "language" and manipulate and gaslight me and flip it so that I was the narcissist. I knew I wasn't, so it didn't work. By that stage I was already in grey-rock mode so it just bounced off me. He then used that to label me as a psychopath because I was emotionless and not reacting to his abuse 😂 So glad I got out and away from him. It did indeed escalate VERY quickly and violently/aggressively once he knew I was on to him. I very much hope one day he realises that he has the problem.

We reward it as a society. And maybe theres some benefit to having a narcissistic CEO or actor, that would be an interesting conversation I think. But now that I see the abuse it causes, and how its at the core of my relationship challenges, and how so many toxic things suddenly make complete sense... I'm joining your cause! Thanks for sharing about narcissistic rage, manipulation. I did it too.

    Be ready for them to also do and say anything and everything to discredit you to your kids, family (both theirs and yours), or friends. All of a sudden these people may start believing bad things about you that never happened or that the narc actually did to you. You may start hearing how they've been saying you are a drunk, how you cheated on them, how "crazy" and unstable you are. Its heartbreaking because things you shared in confidence with the narc may now get weaponized against you all just so they can preserve their fragile self image.

I'll be perfectly cool with new people that come in and then as soon as she talks with them they glare at me and follow me like I've done something? It didn't take me long to figure it out. I've seen her take things from work and said I should grab something I said no I don't need it. Low and behold I get accused of stealing in a round a bout way for months. It's insane. One day I said something like "I better put this back before I'm accused of stealing it" and looked at her. She went completely pale. Quiet for the rest of the day. So so satisfying. Can't wait to get away from this miserable witch.

    He normally gets angry when I bring it up in the midst of him being narcissistic. I bring it up sometimes, but he'll change his behavior for a while and then have outbursts, seemingly, at random. But I started tracing the outbursts and found out they are on a cycle and happen once a month. I decided to confront him, carefully, while he was in the love-bombing stage (his version of love-bombing is displaying the things I need from him). He actually considered it after I presented one of your videos to him (the one were victims often develop anxiety LITERALLY described my condition to a T!) and because we've been dealing with my irregular heart palpitations every time we end up in a nasty argument, he was unable to 100% deny it. He was upset, but I think it slightly opened his eyes. He's still in denial though. But it was just a moment where he at least considered it OUT LOUD.

    I kept the texts where he actually said "that's not me" followed by the anger "AND YOU KNOW IT". (yes, he used all caps) By that time I knew better and just responded with "yes, that IS you". Shortly after that I went silent and then no contact. He wanted to be "friends" and chat like nothing had happened. Within 8 days of me moving out of my rental he was texting again from unknown numbers after 3 years of silence. This tells me that he was/is still stalking me. Thank goodness for videos like this to help me understand why he does what he does. I've moved on, my life is good and I'm happy again. Understanding what and why makes all the difference in not getting sucked into the toxic soup again. Everything you said here is exactly what I experienced. I think he had a key and would enter the rental when I wasn't there. That was the part that was scary and I did have a safety plan. DV hotlines have safety plans and escape plans that are extremely helpful. Including stuff you would never think about.

    I wasn't even in a relationship, and somehow I managed to activate all her triggers. Fortunately I was able to maneuver through all all her attacks. I guess I won because in the end I saw her true self; and it was ugly! Now I just turn my head away and leave her talking into the air. I believe she used all the tricks she had and failed at her objective. She hated when I would say I win, afterwards.
    I matured since then and I could care less wherever she tries to get supply from me, because she can't and if she does it comes with a hefty price tag that she can't afford to pay.
    But yes, to everyone out there be careful and get support and backup. I had one friend through it all, S&W.
