Are you in an unhealthy, powerless relationship? Do you feel like you're always battling for control? If so, you may be in a relationship with someone who is narcissistic. In this video, we're going to talk about what narcissistic love is, what it looks like, and what you can do to manage it, or get out of it. We'll also discuss the power struggles and manipulation that often comes along with it, and how you can develop a healthier sense of empathy to deal with these conflicts.
Narcissistic relationships are often characterized by power struggles, manipulation, and an unhealthy lack of empathy. In these relationships, the narcissistic partner has an inflated sense of self-importance and a deep need for admiration from their partner. They are often controlling and overly critical, and often lack empathy for their partner's feelings and needs. Narcissists often seek relationships that are based on codependency, so their partner's dependence on them provides them with validation, support, and admiration. This dynamic can be damaging to the other partner, as the narcissist's behavior can lead to feelings of rejection and unworthiness. It is important for people in narcissistic relationships to recognize the signs and seek professional help in order to break unhealthy patterns.

Thank you for your attention and I hope you enjoy my videos and find them helpful and subscribe. I always welcome topic suggestions and comments.
Not easy... It take lots of mental processing capacity , acceptance , reprogramming .
Learning I had a narcissistic parent has helped me heal so much. All these years wondering what was wrong with me when I got 99% instead of the 100%…. I could never grasp why it was never good enough until now. Now I can recognize no one is perfect or “gets the hole in one every time” and that’s what being human is. I am finally free. 😊
Wow, I just realized, "Crumbs of love" is actually what they call "Doing their best" so you are grateful for the little bit and admire their effort when it's so "hard" for them. It can look like "empathetically" lowering your standards .
"Narcissists are capable of
This is not the generation for good hearted ppl ❤
Love is a loaded word. It's each person's definition of love that makes all the difference. Some people define love as the ability to control. If they say, 'I love you', it really means 'I control you'. As long as you go along with that, you're a "good boy". Question it, and you're 'rebellious'. Reject it, and it means you don't 'love' them anymore. Yeah. Damn right.
I didn't finish this video yet. The comments have me sad. But I hope you all find people who are charitable and love you how, and as you are. Ego is very dangerous.
As someone diagnosed with NPD and who makes content about living with it, I assure everyone we can genuinely love, at least in our own way. It's more that we can't trust that anyone could love us, so we avoid vulnerability at all costs. Sometimes we rationalize that feeling, but sometimes we're acutely aware of it. I've lost a lot of people who I really cared about because I was not willing to show my love for them out of fear of rejection. I know I made people feel unwanted and unloved, but it wasn't intentional and it wasn't the reality of the situation
In a narcissistic relationship the love I give has no reciprocity, it is all about her or him and it is devoided of any meaning it feels shallow. I dont miss them neither as friends nor as my family members.
Great video… unfortunately so many people with high narcissistic traits don’t think they need help or anything to work on. Very frustrating
I refrain from loving or feeling deeply for anybody anymore besides animals because of the pain that was caused to me most of the time building something deep just for it to get complicated afterwards...
I really appreciate how you differentiated between capacity to love and some of the reasons that prevent the self awareness needed to learn new habits/ methods how to be loving.
From my experience I would disagree with the klischee, that narcissistic parents always want their children to be perfect and be a straight A student.
This is a fascinating-and important subject Dr. Fox. I have no doubt narcissists are capable of love, but the question to ask when considering a relationship with one is, can they love YOU well. Frequently, the answer is no.
Real love comes with a sense of vulnerability. Narcissists can only live within the shallow
It's still hard to draw the line, because most people display not very good behaviors time to time, and narcs are good at mimicry. For me it will take a considerable amount of time to say how toxic someone is, unless they are outright overt and malignant
Your channel is really helping me to understand this condition.
This was super helpful thank you!!!
Thank you so much for your insight
Man, I really could have used this before I stayed 10 months in therapy with a narcissistic psychologist. It's only in the last few weeks (I walked away 6 months ago) that I realized what happened with the help of a fantastic new therapist. What's even more insidious is that she's a trauma specialist working with folks who have BPD and PTSD, which she diagnosed me with.
