      Reported it to UA-cam since they're now targeting the people who respond to you. It's a bot. The exact same reply is given to everyone it responds to and there are different numbers to contact. It is likely that it is computer based. The general location for all of the area codes so far is Southern California. I deem it wisest for me to let you know what I have already discerned openly so that UA-cam security & external security is aware. This is why I stopped using most of the Internet social media apps. Someone targets others when I respond to them. They need to cease and desist.

      They're just....SICK; there really isn't any other explanation. I'm a MAN, and yet my own MOTHER....has been jealous of me all my adult life! She meddled in my first marriage and not only destroyed my marriage, she destroyed my now-deceased, ex-wife, too. My parents were "dirt poor," and that's how I grew up....in a constant state of lack, so when I met my first wife, her family was very "well-off" financially, although I had no idea about any of that for the first several years, and then we bought new furniture, and I must say, it was beautiful, very traditional with a Mediterranean feel. I was so proud of it because my family had never had anything so nice; when she came over to visit, I proudly showed it to her, and her reaction was one of pure disdain and outright disgust. This was only foreshadowing for what would come later; when we bought our first (and only) house, it was new construction, and this set her off, and it was downhill from there. The marriage eventually failed, thanks to her, and then she TRIED to destroy my second marriage, but she ultimately failed overall; however, she did lasting damage to my in-laws and their once solid family dynamic that lasts to this day. While I had always thought she was a narcissist, it just never occurred to me that she was also jealous. I mean, mothers jealous of their daughters, yes. Fathers perhaps jealous of their sons? Yes, I can see how that might happen....but a mother jealous of her SON, or a father jealous of his daughter?! That's an even deeper sickness with, I think, some sexual overtones as well, the thought of which makes me physically ill, and as I look back, she was also seemingly obsessed with my older brother; always mentioning how his body was developing as a teenager, then into a young man...she was so concerned with his body type and his weight. I remember that even then, as a preteen, it made me sick, because it came off as though she was talking about a lover. I don't know what exactly motivated her, but she truly was and IS....very sick, as far as I'm concerned.

    I think a red flag is when you do something noteworthy and they never say anything, they never ever compliment you or even acknowledge you. They don't want to make it obvious that they're jealous but over time, you get the message - the lack of encouragement and support. However, if something goes wrong, they'll be the first to criticise you.

      Growing up o always admired my older sister, but she considered me as short, fat, ugly, and dumb ( I was on the honor roll). I saw who she thought I was in the mirror. I was always dieting and my friends said that they didn't understand why because I was the thinnest one in our circle of friends. When someone would say that I was attractive, I didn't believe them. Sometimes we believe lies about ourselves. I gave me heart to Jesus when I was 18 he began to restore my soul (He restoreth my soul. Psalm 23). He continues to make me who he intended me to be. I love people and they like me. I forgive my sister and refuse to be bitter about her rejection of me. She's so miserable that no one wants to be around her. My mother said that she's evil. "One sinner destroys much good." Ecclesiastes 9:18. Don't be bitter, forgive, and be the beautiful soul that you are meant to be. Also remember...kindness makes you beautiful. God bless you.

    When my narcissistic mother felt jealous of me, she would ignore, minimize or complain about my achievements (and same for my sister). As a young person, I didn’t understand what was happening. Instead, I internalized the idea that I was inadequate and unlovable. It took a lot of therapy, life experience and learning about narcissism (including from this channel) to undo that damage.
    Even today, my mother is very careful never to show me any interest in my passions and pursuits or those of my sister, even though I know from second-hand report that she brags about us to other people when we are not around. It’s a weird paradox that she derives second-hand status from us and yet can’t give us any credit to our faces.

    My narcissistic mother was so destructive toward me throughout my whole life. She felt like a frenemy sabotaging me on purpose, but of course no one will believe me if I say it’s happening. Why would a mother do that? She’s always jealous of other women and cuts them down or is so disgustingly gleeful when something horrible happens to another woman like divorce. I’ve estranged myself from her almost entirely by moving far away and never seeing her. I still have surface level phone conversations and meeting for lunch or dinner. She takes the little info she learns about me to spread hurtful rumors about me to the rest of our toxic family who enables my mother. I’m tempted to go no contact for the rest of our lives. She’s such a negative force in my emotional health.
    Update: I just told my mom I’m cancelling her visit to me here in California with my Step Dad. I didn’t explain why because they already know I don’t like their toxic invalidating behavior. Of course my mom and step dad will pretend they don’t know and that they are a victim to make me feel guilty. I don’t care anymore. I’m done.

    One thing that puzzled me for years was a conversation my mother had with my high school music teacher. I tried out for a part in "South Pacific" and got a bit part in the chorus. He told my mother how proud he was of me because I seemed to be coming out of my shell. I was always very shy. And my mother said to him, "Well, that won't last. She'll go back into her shell before long." Then she told me about the conversation shortly after they had their exchange. Now I am an older woman and I am looking back over my life and I see how she did everything she could to make me shy. I moved 1,300 miles away when I married and the only time I would be effected by her narky comments was when I would go back home. I slowly came out of my shell. Thank you Dr. Ramani for helping me to finish the task.

    Following a lot of counselling ,my eyes where opened into her victimhood and narcissistic ways which had started from teenage years and I realised she still remained in the playground despite becoming an adult and I eventually decided to remove her from my life .
    . The backlash of resentment and hate that came my way through her manipulation of the wider family members astonished me .
    However years later ……I was eventually was able to to tell her my life was better without her in it …….so why on earth would I ,after all she had done ,invite her back in . The hateful resentment continues but I have moved on .

      Have a sister like this as well. Took a LONG while for me to realize it … after mom died the difficult oppositional sister replaced mom’s role and took up with enthusiasm acting out mom’s bad behaviors mimicking her cruelest cringiest traits. Including minimizing and pointedly criticizing me whenever possible-despite looking after myself and successes I’d achieved overcoming a lot of barriers. I do recall my mother verbalizing “I’m not going to have my kid do better than I did…” she was referring to income, and property 😳. I’d taken out student loans and worked my bum off achieving graduate degrees in healthcare-and a mortgage. It was really an unexpected reaction-felt crazy tunes and jolting. After mom died the entitled “Golden Child” sister took it upon herself to exploit the entire extended family’s insecurities about my education and healthcare industry, smearing my motives and reputation complaining about my politics and different “values” eventually getting around to all of them. I was told they were irritated making fun of me for using “too big of words” while trying to interpret and translate mom’s medical needs. I finally realized I needed to just give up and walk away. Being treated that way the first time around by my own mom and envious competitive younger sister had been bad enough. I wasn’t about to relive that toxic experience. I did a lot for all of them including helping my miserable mom who suffered from dementia in her last years. It seemed weird they literally all turned on me or ignore me now. I live alone and heard almost nothing from any of them during the isolation of the pandemic. They have been more under the influence of right wing media and also engaged in fundamentalist religion. I don’t bring that up or argue but they insist on finding a way to confront me, stonewall or make snide comments. Met only few times with a couple sisters who live nearby. One pretends like nothing is wrong. She questions me in an interview manner that feels like “flying monkey.” At the very least she enables the dominant narc sister who has aligned herself with her. In a way it’s a relief. Walking on eggshells, dealing with repetitive stonewalling and opposition was so exhausting.

They called it a hobby despite having a team of 9 and thousands of customers. What I realize afterwards is that when the family is talking about business ownership they are actually just future faking and family day dreaming. That’s as far any of them got: dreaming or pretending to be business owners to strangers for supply. I’m the only one in the family who actually became an entrepreneur and got pretty good at it and still getting better as there is always something new to learn and ventures to build.

    My vulnerable narcissistic ex looked older than his actual age. Numerous times throughout our relationship he would comment on how young I looked for my age. He commented on this so much so that it honestly just started feeling weird rather than flattering. I also felt that in the beginning of the relationship, this "compliment" was said in a positive way - like he had this sense of admiring wonderment about it. As he started devaluing me towards the end of the relationship, what used to feel like a compliment now felt like he was jealous of me looking younger than my age; almost a sense of him being annoyed by it and why couldn't HE look younger than his age.
    ...the truth is, now I know why he looked so much older than his age. How can it be any other way when he's chosen to move through this world with nothing but jealousy, entitlement, exploitation and deception running through his veins.

    My malignant narcissist mother was, and still is at 90, viciously, violently jealous. My stepfather is still not allowed to talk to anyone. He is a hollow, isolated ghost of a man. If a neighbor stops by to chat about the lawn, she will find an excuse to stop the conversation and make him come inside. Then she'll browbeat him and rage at him for hours, days, or weeks about talking to the neighbor so that he never wants to do it again. This went on throughout my childhood and lifetime.
    She would claw him when they got back home, if she even suspected that he glanced at some other woman on the street. He had to wear psychological blinders when they were out together. I watched him keep his eyes straight ahead and on the horizon most of the time.
    It was horrifying to watch as a child and even worse to endure.
    She would not let me or my sister go near my stepfather or get any affection from him, and with some regularity tried to "get rid of me," throwing me down a long flight of stairs. Had I died it could be chalked up to an accident.
    It wasn't until I was 16 that I was strong enough to stop her and told her she would never do that to me again or we'd see who was at the bottom of the stairs. She stopped, but at 17, I was thrown out of the house with no warning for an infraction of curfew rules.
    Jealousy can be a destructive emotion, and it can be poison in the arsenal of the narcissist.

      Hell yeah achieved my goals also (happy marriage, wanting to be a stay at home mom, baby on the way) despite my narc mom's constantly talking down about them my whole life. Like it didn't work out for her (she cheated on our dad & then kept threatening to divorce him till he agreed) & therfore it could never possibly work out for us because we would be inevitably led to heartbreak. She'd say "No man will ever really love you", "they will cheat on you with your friend", "marriages don't last", "kids are ungrateful & will ruin your body so no one wants you", "you will see when you have your own children". Dude imagine the de-brainwashing I had to go through to cherish my actually non-toxic healthy relationship with my sweet devoted patient guy. I'm literally living my rebellion of defiance out & it's freaking liberating. And she can f*ck off because this is my life now. 💪

    My parents are both narcisistic and I know I have to keep my sorrows and successes for myself. But one situation completely shocked me and I cannot forget about it. As a family we lived in a block of flats and our neighbor played tennis professionally. He always wore white when leaving for the training. One day I learned that he got cancer and some time later the hospital staff brought him home in such a poor condition that I knew he was going to die soon. I saw him coming home and expressed my concern before my parents. My father, who is not a sportsman at all, smirked and said: "At least he will stop boasting in his white clothes." The poor man died a few weeks later and I can still see the disdain in my father's face and hear his awful words.

      My neighbours were always very jealous of us because we were wealthier than them. They would often express that in a passive-expressive manner. When my father passed away, my mother said that they were suspiciously happy. I never trusted her. I thought no one can be that bad a person, unless they're obviously mentally ill.
      Reading your story brought back that memory. I guess there's a chance my mother's claims were actually true.

I practice radical acceptance, and accept and love myself unconditionally.... I don't want to be someone else. I accept my disability, and being suthentic. That is not jealousy....
    I feel the other person was jealous or envious... Because I'm married, have a good relationship with my husband, and my husband takes care and supports me (I don't work due to my disability). Unfortunately, the person who told me I was jealous of them, was going through a divorce, lost their health insurance, was having problems at work, lost their home..... I tried being a friend, but got tired of the gaslighting, put downs, and what not else.... I was tired of this person making me feel like I am not being good enough, or not trying hard enough to heal an autoimmune disease I was born with, or I should pretend to not have an autoimmune disease and immunocompromised (during covid...)..... I ended up going no contact, and this person ended up moving out of my neighborhood..... Moved in with someone I considered as a friend.

It's so bizarre. But she's so skilled at what she does, family doesn't come to me to verify what she's saying. Taking my good qualities as being her own, giving me her hateful ones. So I have lost some of the dearest family, and even managed to keep me away from.our mother and younger sister. Public humiliations, cruelty to her children, fantasies about herself and her role in the family. It's clearly mental illness, but she's great at masking. Narcissism runs in the family.

Our son, that he was jealous of our new born child. I think about this now, and wonder why I didn't understand what I'd got into with him. He was such a wonderful man in the first few years... But he changed so much to become the cruellest man I'd ever met in my life. He distroyed me and our 2 children and just moved on without a thought about our well being. If anything he went out of his way to make my life as hard as possible. I went no contact to rid this cruel man, out of our lives. To save what little sanity, both my kids and I had left. It was the best thing I've ever done. I've spent years getting counselling for us all. But the damage had already been done, unfortunately. But we did move on and took back our lives.

My parents swore i did something to make the teacher feel sorry for me because i was an idiot. They said the teacher was deficient by picking me. The other kids sekected were from wealthy families and we definitely were not a wealthy family. They thought i was just such a hopeless case the teacher had pity for me. I was pathetic. . . ect ect.

In such situations there will always be something that is still within your control, use it to manage what you need to survive one day more. But at the end of the day, a horrid person will not change. Think of what you want to get out of the situation, and the moment you think you've gotten what you need, just get out.
