Hi Anthony, it's the crazy one 😜 who commented a month back, and didn't return the following day, as mentioned, to say why not everyone wears a mask. Things did not go as planned, sorry about that. Since my initial half watching of this video, I have returned and watched the video a couple of times, before commenting further. It got me thinking ( which is the idea 😅) , and even though, I understand the concept that everyone wears masks, I'm going to go out on a very thin limb and say, I don't think/ feel like I do . And would hope that there could be others out there too. However, you challenged my mind and thoughts about that, and I like that. Maybe I do. The way I see this, is, We , as people, have many different facets and sides to us, and I guess, that's the different " faces/masks " we show, under varying circumstances. I understand that. But, maybe it's just more the way my mind perceives the term " mask " .... To me, a person who wears a mask, is someone acting and portraying themselves as someone that is at odds or the opposite of who they truly are. Intentionally hiding who they are, to ensnare you for whatever unpleasant or dark intentions they harbour. For example, a sociopath/psychopath, who pretends to be a genuine, caring and loving, respectful individual, or a narcissistic type individual like you talk about in this video. I hope this makes sense? Welcome to my mind 😂. Also, I think it is amazing that you are helping your daughters, and others, to pick up on whether someone could be a narcissist or narcissistic type person. It's especially wonderful you are teaching your daughters early on. All of the 5 points you made are important. In my personal experience of having dealt with a few. It's usually a combination of more than one of the points you made here that shows up in a narcissistic type person. You are doing your daughters a massive service, and care beyond words. 👏 💗.
Thank you, and thank you for your kind words. I can see you've put some good thought into this which also means a lot, I like it when people decide to reflect and really explore something they have heard. I think that as you say you take the definition of mask more towards a dark place, however I don't see it like this. A simple couple of examples here could be, someone who is struggles with confidence at work but puts on a mask to try and hide this, or maybe someone who is struggling with loneliness but doesn't want the world to see so acts in a way to cover it up. I find it fascinating and it also can lead to much deeper connections with others.
Thank you for your thoughts and reply 😊. The point you made here is something that had not really occurred to me, for some reason, but, does make perfect sense. It's interesting. Somewhere along the line, I must have formed the idea/connection around " mask " to relate to the darker side of things somehow. And having now thought this through, I have realised it's true, a mask doesn't really have to be something dark. I really appreciate this response, as I learned something completely unexpected/unnoticed in my thinking today. Can't say I have experienced a realisation in my thinking quite like this , not in a negative way, it just became apparent when you explained how you don't see masks as a negative thing. And I thought, yes, why does it have to mean something negative 🤔. Thank you, that felt strange and wonderful all at the same time 😅.
Love bombing, charming, good looking, vane, haughty, arrogant, insecure, constantly talking about themselves, no interest in you other than money, sex, position or status, lots of secrets, not answering questions directly, dodging questions and concerns, gaslighting, lying, .....
Here's a sign. They won't shut up. They have ideas of grandiose. They won't let you sleep. They hate their mother. They are charming around other people and then when alone act different. They have no boundaries and keep you on the phone for hours. Constantly texting you. Wanting access to your phone and email. Do not do it. I recommend nobody stay with a narcissist. They move the relationship quickly and want to marry you really quickly.
They use your heart and religion against you as a weapon. Funny story I moved out all my clothes and my belongings. He never looked in the closet. He only noticed 2 books missing. I did this over a month of time. So, when I did lailundry at the laundry mat I took out my clothes, and brought his back inside. Do not be afraid to leave they will never notice your clothes or shoes missing.
Hi Anthony, no, not "everyone " wears a "mask" ... I will come back here tomorrow, my time, Australia, and explain why I raise this outrageous claim of mine... stay tuned.
Me, me, me is all you hear. They also love to tell what a great, good and honest person they are but it's all a lie.
100% it's like the quote 'well thats enough about me, now you tell me what you think about me' (I can't remember who said it). Thanks for commenting 🙏
My ex narcissist was very much friendly with the waitress. So friendly that I felt like I disappeared in front of them. It was awkward. Lol
I am sure it did feel awkward, not a nice experience for you.... at least they are now an 'Ex'. Thanks for sharing 🙏

Excellent video. Very insightful. This is better than a Tony Robbins vid. 💯✅
Thank you and glad you are enjoying the new content style😁
Unfortunately it is I who is the narcissist… and I can confirm that these are true. A good narcissist knows how to keep his head on straight though 😅
I appreciate your openness, awareness is one of the first steps to creating change and managing behaviours.

100% These are great other red flags to look out for. Thank you for sharing.

Great comment @dukeleach, some great tips as other things to look out for and 110% to your point 'Do Not Do It' 👏

@@dukeleach great story, glad you made the choice to leave... and with very clean clothes 😆
Do not be afraid to leave. Once you go no contact. They will leave you alone.
Hi Anthony, no, not "everyone " wears a "mask" ... I will come back here tomorrow, my time, Australia, and explain why I raise this outrageous claim of mine... stay tuned.
I'm intrigued 😁
