      @@thekholeefae narcissists still know right from wrong. If they didn't they wouldn't know that they were wronged in the past. Narcissists are abusers and manipulators. And to abuse is a choice. They choose to be that way because they go about life figuring the world owes them something because they got dealt a sh*tty hand of cards. It's not the world's problem that happened to them. It's not your problem, it's not my problem and yet we suffer at the hands of these people because they can't get their act together? And you still say they're the "victim" in all this?
      Do not feel sorry for people who act this way. Despite what they want you to think they actually DO know better. They simply don't care and that's the whole problem.

    i had a narcissist in my life, we stopped being friends because they always got mad at me for not always having enough time or patience. When we ended our friendship, they told me that it was my fault that we stopped being friends, not putting the least bit of blame on themselves. It was mentally draining to be around them…

    • @bunille
      @bunille 3 роки тому +4

      Not putting the least bit of blame on themselves is a prime hallmark of it. Especially if you've known the person for a long time and don't assume that you know 100% of them, as they could simply have been someone who doesn't admit faults in emotional situations: something many non-narcs can do, but would admit fault later on, but NOT as a hoovering tactic to bring you back, get attention, or likes, as non-narcs would apologise for the sake of apologising, not to lure you back in, although it would be nice if friendships were not lost if we're being honest. A non-narc might want to come back, but not for the sake of themselves. And they definitely will learn from their mistakes, assuming they do not have another mental illness and what mistake it was. E.g. emotional volatility might repeat but it isn't a sign of narcissism, but things like smear campaigning is, and that isn't even a possibility of any other disorder.

But after retirement when we moved back to my old homeplace, I began realizing that some of my relatives were taking advantage of my easy going nature. I was having health issues and unwilling to continue extending myself to these narcissists and started saying no to their many requests and demands on my resources and time. When I started putting down boundaries, that's when the push back came!. Eventually, I went pretty much no contact and have stayed that way for 3 years.

      Narcisstistic people acknowledge their toxic behaviours. They may not call it that but they know what they are doing wrong. This is why they can control it - try to be better and stop manipulation or do the same hoping that they will find someone who will go along with it. That's why we shouldn't call them "pure souls" or "traumatized". I'm not saying trauma cannot be the cause of narcisstic behavior. I just think we shouldn't say it in the tone that makes them look like victims. They are only "victims" of their own actions, people who are manipulated by them are true victims who don't deserve it.

    Number 5 is wrong. The narcissist doesn’t think you are responsible for their wrongdoings. On the contrary, they KNOW it’s their fault. They just don’t WANT to take responsibilty, cause that makes them seem vunerable and weak, because to them mistakes are for the weak. And they just feel like they are more special than others and a exception of the consequences. The narcissist throws guilt and responsibility for their mistakes onto you because they know this will harm you. The narcissists goal in the end is just to hurt you. The narcissist knows fully well what they’re doing. They don’t believe you are responsible, they know you aren’t, that’s why it’s fun for them to throw all this unnecessary guilt onto you. They aren’t some kind of “lost cause” and “they just don’t know any better”.

She always expects me to speak to her as if she's royalty and is always boasting about how good she raised me despite me only remembering my childhood being a really confusing, scary sort of void between trying to understand the world like every other toddler and young kid would and the constant fighting between her and my siblings. She also has this bs notion that I owe her money once I grow up and get a job. But then talking about jobs and moving out is taboo. She even disowned me once. Why? Because I said I want to move out once I'm 18 lol
    Some actual real quotes from her:
    "I'm your mom. I have a right to yell"
    "You need to respect me and part of that respect is closing the window while I'm sleeping"
    "Am I your mom? Go look for you mom"
    "If I tell you to divorce your wife, you'd do that won't you?"
    I don't even know how to explain this without confusing everyone who didn't have a narcissistic parent. If you know you know. Needless to say I hate the bitch. I'm sick and tired of this misconception that all sons of narcissistic mothers happen to be momma's boys. All it does is take blame away from the narc and turn the victim into a criminal. The whole thing with not being able to do stuff themselves is something found in the golden child, and only some of them actually become narcissists themselves. They can also be girls, it's not just something specific to a mother-son relationship.

      My mother is 84 and still acts like this. You can only have a "relationship" with her if you agree to pretend she is perfect all of the time, in every way. She is suffering from dementia and severe memory loss but gets angry/enraged if you even hint that she is forgetting things. She literally raged for two weeks because I tried to help her with her nutritional deficiencies -- cracked teeth, cracked fingernails, hair loss, etc. To her, me offering her (free) nutritional supplements is an attack on her diet, which is "perfect" of course. Walking on eggshells around her is a gross understatement. The littlest things send her into protracted narcissistic rage.

      The ones that make you feel crazy are actually the ones with stronger traits as they know what they're doing. If you think the traits are mild, then you're only confused and feel crazy because you cannot find evidence, because they're not. As I said, every single human is a little bit narcissistic, we cannot self-diagnose anyone who we disagree with or don't have the knowledge to understand, that's toxic.

      Sometimes trauma and depression can lead to covert narcissism. Narcissism is more like a person who needs healing and I don’t necessarily think it should be looked at as someone who just wants to hurts others. A narcissist has many insecurities and that’s why covert narcissists tend to hide away. You should also really consider narcissism if your childhood wasn’t all that great. A lot of the characteristics of a narcissist are coping methods to hide those insecurities we developed as children. That’s why narcissism is considered childish when you rationalize it. Becoming self aware is the first step to realizing you’re a narcissist, although sometimes it might not always be the case. When I finally realized I was a narcissist and that was what was wrong with me, i was finally able to be happy. I wish you well on your journey!

But still I am always stuck between these two thoughts of mine. My childhood trauma was hidden all these time which resurfaced back in my relationship. Now I have to heal everything. Narc aren't always bad. They just want to be seen/heard bcoz in their past they weren't able to express themselves. They need to heal themselves.

    • @tRexArmXtender
      @tRexArmXtender 3 роки тому +1

      @@ivy.27 In my limited experience, narcissists that are unaware often desperately need others to give them the validation and depth of empathy that they are not capable of giving. Simply because they haven't learned how, and their coping mechanisms are focused on external supply.
      This can be deeply problematic for a person who has never learned that they have a right to receive unconditional love and then compensate by trying to fix the other person while suppressing their own needs. That was me btw. with my mother, and I copied the same pattern on the job, with friends and relationships.
      This can lead to toxic codependency where the narcissist never has to overcome his flaws and develop empathy, and the codependent never has to learn to develop healthy boundaries and live out their life like they would want to. He allows getting drained of all self-esteem and self-respect in the hope to get some inkling of true love.
      But as long both feed the cycle, nothing will change, and there are really no winners, in the long run, just two people going through the motions on autopilot. If this lifeway of living had a color, I would say it's gray.

    Lately I've been thinking that my so called "best friend" has some of these traits. He always demanded other to do more for him than he was willing to do for others. In the last couple years he established this "what would you do without me?" vibe, because our friend group fell apart and we were the only ones left. He always acts like he's the most important person in town that doesn't want others to make him look bad. He always expected me to do whatever he wanted, and when I couldn't, than it meant I didn't care about him and life was shit. Like that time when he wanted to go out on Saturday, but I already had other plans. He recently broke up with his girlfriend and wanted to have a bit of fun. He told me "life always shits on me. Maybe I'll find some friends one day". That really pissed me off. Last year he did one of the most absurd things I've ever seen. I went on a couple dates with this girl. After a week, the topic comes out (while he was explaining to me what I MUST wear or post on Instagram in order to pick up girls, all with this arrogant "you must do as I say, because I know everything and you know Jack shit" vibe), he gets furious, says I ruined our friendship because we're best friends, and we must tell each other everything when we go out with, or bang girls. He stopped talking to me for a month. It was all well during winter. Then he disappeared a couple of months ago. Whenever I proposed something he was always tired from work. But the other day he told me that he is hanging out with this guy that we used to hang out with years ago, without even considering to invite me. I'm starting to be tired of his shenanigans. Sorry for the wot, I didn't know how to make it shorter, and I could have said a lot more

One time he kept complaining about how I never congratulated him for any achievement he did which is disagree with. But even if I never did, he gaslights me by assuming I had bad intentions if I did things he didnt understand. Like he couldn’t freaking ASK first? Sheesh. Just because I’m related to him gives him NO right ti pressure me to do things. It suck’s cuz he wouldn’t do this to one of his friends.

    I don’t care about money. I never wanted it. All I wanted was respect. And she is unable to provide that. So we cut her off. She keeps trying. But we are healing. And my husband who was constantly set aside, disregarded, disrespected by her has grown even closer to me. He really loves me, and respects me. It’s so beautiful.

      @@strawburyy Personality Disorders are a little bit of both nature and nurture, but without it in nature you wouldn't develop it. As for narcissism in particular, I'm not sure, but trauma isn't something that causes it nurture-wise, spoiling and enabling is. Trauma is just something that's very likely with a narcissist because they demand a lot from their parents that their parents cannot do, and they're pretty picky and judgemental.
      Also, you cannot fully heal from a Personality Disorder. I'm not entirely sure about narcissism but I'd assume that you can be undiagnosed with it, but you'd still have lots of traits, even severely, but not enough for a diagnosis anymore... but that only happens after years and years of intensive therapy, it doesn't just disappear at random or after trauma.

    As someone with ASD the idea of "blaming others" gets comflated in our community. ASD brains are more effected by outside stimulus and so peoples actions can have a larger effect on us. Something as simple as having the tv at a large volume can cause some of us to meltdown. And if we ask polity for the volume to be lowered often it is seen as us being controlling and then if the meltdown happens and we explain we tried to avoid it but the other person didn't listen. It gets twisted that we are shifting blame. Ppl with ASD can be narcissistic but too many of us try very hard to make others comfortable but then don't get given the same consideration.

      The way this video was scripted does not show the exact Narcissist. Because the point of view is How they make others feel. The people being manipulated do not know all these until their already drained and in a bad place. The better angle to see their disorder is in their perspective.
      Which is somewhere along the lines of this.
      I am important, I will make you feel so good until I know all the weaknesses I can use to manipulate you. I will love bomb you now and discard you when I am done with you. I am here for you until I have drained all that I need and want from you. I am the bestbthingbthat ever happened to you.
      The Person described here as a Narc is actually sounding more like the Victim Empath after all the love bomb is over and manipulation made the empath paranoid, insecure, crazy, weird and almost psycho, controling, weak, etc.
      The narc makes you feel all that is mentioned in the video but they don't care about others. They only care about themselves. So they are not worried about what youbare wearing because they are busy checking themselves in the mirror. They are not complaining that you should spend time with them or be kind to them because they are already getting it from you as their supply empath.
      This is my opinion of course

      Look up an empath narcissist! Basically we know what empathy is but when we let others know we’re empaths or even say it to ourselves, we take away the power of empathy. If something is really empathetic then there’s no need for us to tell anyone. I didn’t think I was a narcissist because I thought I knew empathy and that I did good things but it’s a harsh truth sometimes.

He was soo rude to me couple months ago and I stood up for myself and stopped talking to him. He's soo toxic and manipulative that I had to distance myself from him. I went away for few months I felt soo bad that me and my grandad was not talking, so I decided to call him when I got back. He was soo rude, he said you have to get old one day and you will feel it one day. And he even said I'm fake for not talking to him and also mentioned I don't need u I will put my will in someone else name to look after me. I'm not after his will I just care about him genuinely.

    However, one aspect of my personality (that I was unaware of until my late 20s) which seems to have provided a good Defense is that I tend to either Mirror or inspire mirroring when in the company of others.
    That, and I treat Everyone the same, unless they give me reason Not to...I Give What I Get & Observe - Kindness, Respect, etc.

      Well as long as your mom isn't hurting you in any way, then you can still be around her.
      I think it depends if the person who's narcissistic is hurting someone(if accidental then let them know so they don't keep doing it but if they do it more after then try to talk and if that doesn't work, then leaving should be considered), then the person should get away.
      Just my thoughts, and obviously the person who is dealing with a narcissist can decide whatever they want to do(as long as they won't get emotionally, or physically hurt by the person)
