    Welcome my channel! If this is your first time seeing my face or hearing my voice, my name is Lee and I am a self aware narcissist. I have narcissistic personality disorder ( NPD ) and I've been in therapy for my personality disorder since 2017 and it has definitely changed my life because without it, I would have lost everything.
    The point of these videos is to help bring awareness from the other side of the narcissistic *buse spectrum. All my videos give perspective on why many narcissists do what they do and the possible different reasons behind them. The victims and survivors get validation and the Narcissists (those that are willing) get to see that you can get help and that you are not alone.

      This is true . My 57 year old soon to be ex husband is an aging narc . He got a hair tattoo to disguise his bald spot then he signed up for a hair loss study and volunteered to take some experimental medicine to grow hair back 🙄. He even talked about getting a blepharoplasty to fix his eye bags. He’s pretty dumb so his physicality is all he has. He’s about to be struggling bad in about 5-10 years. I actually feel bad for his current or next supply.

    Their ego, need for validation , and delusions will take them out. Leave them in the dirt where they belong and give them 2-3 years, they will age like you never seen. For the ppl who have to keep in contact with a narc, you’ll notice they will pretend their life is going well, eventually they will spill the tea on how the grass isnt greener on the other side because they screw everything up. Then they will want to be friends / upgrade their place in your life after putting up a boundary. Yet they tell ppl you were the problem

    I believe the downfall of toxic narcissist comes in their meanness, hatefulness and black and white mindset which leads to burning many many bridges and most people run. Eventually , their hateful ways seem to catch up to them and they are stopped from moving forward . Hatefulness leads to hatefulness coming back .. but love leads to love coming back. Over time, they destroy themselves because they are their own worst enemy.

      Makes a kid's storybook kind of sense, but i've seen them surround themselves with minions into late middle age. By then they have decades of experience in quickly forming a rapport with people they target very precisely. It becomes a very easy process of continuously replacing people like a shark with it's rows of teeth. They lose people when they are seen for what they are, but so what? Got another couple of friends and associates on the backburner right now.

    I believe their downfalls is that everyone abandons them & leaves them in the end. People get sick of their abhorrent behaviours & grow tired of them. When you only ever see hate in someone, very few people can stay long term. The one I was dealing with was attacking his friends and they were backing off as well as me walking away & his ex getting away from him. It's only a matter of time before they end up on their own, unless they seek help like Lee did.

      I hate that you went through that. I've been wanting to run too. My mom tics most of the narcissim boxes, but she doesn't believe in therapy. Then there's my bro. Oh man, diagnosed bipolar 2 and schizophrenia and theres no way he doesn't have narcissim too. Then I marry and discover my father inlaw is JUST like my mom......Now we have the 1st and only grandchild on both sides. It's pure hell. They cause so much drama that we can't even enjoy our marriage. I've been in therapy but it just didn't work for me. I don't think people realize how hard it is to get through this. I found myself to be a reactor to my mom and brother and that just makes it worse because that's what they want, to piss you off constantly because they always are mad. The only reason I hang on is because of our son. I don't want him to be without 2 grand parents and his only uncle but do I really want him seeing them in action??? I believe that's how bpd is born...NO...I'm depressed enough. I HATE THIS!!!

      Yes it can be painful bec. in my case my ex was a Dr. Jeckl and Mr. Hyde. We were together for a little over five years. There were some good times, what really helps me to stay away and realize I'm better off is to write down all the good and bad. The verbal, physical abuse are the two biggest factors that keep me away from ever wanting that relationship back. There are so many other negative things, too many to name, take the time to write down those experiences and that should help you deal with the pain. It's been over a year since I ended that Toxic relationship and I realize how much better I am! I do miss the good times, but that's it.

The best thing that I ever did for myself was cut him off COMPLETELY ( no contact whatsoever). In the meantime, I took this time to heal and discover who I am. The freedom that I gained for myself is priceless. I will NEVER ever sacrifice my peace for anything or anybody ever again. God bless

    Currently watching the downfall of my narc abuser and honestly, its a moment I never thought I'd witness in a million years. Getting hit with Karma non stop, including my final restraining order. Got kicked out 3 times by 3 people, getting into accidents because od drugs and destroying cars, 3 restraining orders, 16 new criminal charges with about 10 new arrests, on drugs, begging for money, burning bridges, getting caught in lies and manipulation. I have tried to save him for so long and had to let him go and save myself when I realized he was out to destroy me. Now my life is getting better and his life is going to hell. The empath in me wants to rescue him, but the trauma in me is slapping the hell out of me for wanting to help. Honestly, he lacks accountability, compassion and empathy and needs this reality check. I truly hope people finally see him for who he is and not the person hes been pretending to be. I hope he learns a valuable lesson and grows up and changes for the better, but I have no faith in him. Glad I chose to save myself and walk away, instead of allowing him to continue destroying me in every way imaginable. He is a monster, has always been a monster and I believe will always be a monster. I have to remind myself of that and that I deserve better.

      Interesting comment. My ex just a few weeks before the break up stayed up all night talking to me because we were forced to while waiting for a tow truck in the middle of the night. He ended up revealing things about himself, like having psychologists trying to find out what was wrong with him. Suggesting they thought he had 4 personalities. It could have been just another way he controlled the narrative and victim story so I'd continue to feel sorry for him. But I also wondered if it was him opening up to some degree. He acted completely in love with me and so appreciative that I helped him when he was stuck on the side of the road. Then shortly after that he started to self-destruct big time and acting more angry toward me then ever. Looking for fights. It was bewildering to say the least and just when I thought we had turned a positive corner. So glad to be out of it. But it still hurts.

    Ego is my answer. Creating narratives to others to protect their ego too. They have a hard time apologizing, that's my red flag when I am dealing with a narrasasist, because most individuals will admit when they are wrong to an individual they find value in. With a narrasasist, they cant do no wrong, they cannot admit to their own faults. In turn, it then puts YOU in a position of an endless cycle of watching the same actions that hurt YOU all because they can't or choose not to listen to you, care about your perspective or recognize their own maladaptive behavior.
    They will abandon you 1st for challenging them (do not take this personally). If you dare to hold that mirror up to them or start treating them how they treat you... their cover is blown then...ends in them running away for periods of time until they need something 😅, but will say, you abandoned them smh...it's all they know, it's hard for them to face someone they disappointed and face their own faults. Their ego ultimately gets the best of them in the end and for those of us who are aware, we know when they move on the saga continues, we can't SAVE them.
    They place their new target, their narcissistic supply on a pedestal. Once you heal and realize the supply, he/she was already in the background lol, THAT'S WHEN YOU just sit back with your popcorn and watch from afar. Pray for em😢. Don't let him/her vent to you either about their new supply, WHY? Because, after all, THE NARRASASIST, they are their own unstable, unempathetic problem 🤷🏾‍♀️:

    Contrary to what most people say here, their downfall comes from another narcissist or psychopathic individual competing them and destroying their resources/supply in order to gain authority. Yes narcissists feel sad when nice people leave them but they always manage to play the victim somewhere and suck sb in. Their demise comes from other psychopaths wanting to get their way and winning them at their game. And as there are many psychopaths out there, it does happen a lot. This is how their own energy is reflected back to them.

    They don't realize that their reputation can follow them. They overplay their hand and don't think ppl will check their references. They think they are the smartest ppl in the room an their arrogance tricks them and they get caught in their lies. They are outta touch and can misread the room. I took the MMPI 35 year ago. I was being stalked by a dangerous narc and was also being harassed by a narc mother. The therapist said that my stress level was so high that she could get a reading on my personality. IDK if that was true or not. I ended up telling the therapist that I didn't feel that she was the right person for me. She didn't take that to well. I think she had some narc traits herself.

    My narc is 61 and I came to find out he never really ended any of his old exes/sexual relationships. They were all around and on standby, these women just waiting for him to hit them up. It just blows my mind how crazy they are about him no matter if he uses them or what. None of them call him out on his sleeping around, lies or bs. I think I was maybe one of the only ones, ever. And I’m the only relationship (2 1/2 years) he didn’t try to keep after it ended. That’s pretty telling.

    My husband’s narcissism almost killed me. He slipped up and spilled the beans on what I had been suspecting for 20 years. I couldn’t eat for 6 weeks. Lost 55 pounds in six weeks. Ended up in the emergency room where he abandoned me after me telling the nurse I didn’t want him to know where they were taking me. I swear his eyes turned black and he has never looked at me with such hatred I was put on lock down for 72 hours because they diagnosed me with extreme depression and hopelessness. I been marred to him for 48 years! I’m 68 him to. I took his control over me away from him. I loved where they put me. The compassion and care I received overwhelmed me. I had not felt that in many many years. It was like I was a dry sponge. My soul just soaked it up. I’m am now on day 3 of no contact. He’s been trying to contact me thru my adult kids but I stopped that. I have forgiven him for many things but what I know now is unforgivable. I never want to see him again. I’m done! Wish he was dead!

    It's true what you say, he was also afraid of aging or getting sick, he always imagined illnesses, that's the fear of not finding any more supplies and the fear of no longer being able to work, they think that they're no longer worth anything . He was always very insecure, he thought people were all looking at him or when people laughed he thought they were laughing at him.

I just happened to be the last one that fell for whatever they said but once I started reaching out to others it was apparent that they definitely had a problem that I could not fix, that no one could, and they are going to spend the rest of their lives hiding and running away from their shame.

    Narc dad died 35 years ago. I have pretty much been estranged from my and my whole adult life. Seven years ago he orchestrated gaining POA
    As soon as he got power of attorney he stole $800K
    Mum passed away over 12 months ago.
    18 month later he has not lodged Probate. I feel reassured as I am lodging a formal complaint (whilst typing this) to the legal services Commissioner . Sounds like all parties involved will be in a world of hurt.

He was impervious to covid as he vowed he'd never get it due to his omnipotence. He's 72 now and a bit concerned about the future decline of his body which has been, in his head, Adonis-esque. Increasingly, as age encroaches, his joylessness is ever more palpable. His tactics have accelerated and he seems to be, what we say in the UK, going up his own backside. The pity I feel has helped me to slowly break free and to rediscover life, and a freedom.

    So the most important thing my husband has are his ki ds. He sees them as extra appendages.
    So when I left him while pregnant fleeing for my safety and health, and that of my child (made me relapse in my PTSD and anxiety attacks causing 2 weeks of cramping. Then refused to send me to the doctor. I never saw the doctor for the first 12 weeks- untilnI left after he told me to go kill myself infront of family), I told him one thing- if you really want me to come back (which I wouldn't) then you're going to have to go see a therapist and work on your issues.
    That was May of last year. Still nothing seems to have changed and no therapy has been done.
    So if his kids are THAT important then it doesn't make sense to me that be wouldn't go seek help for the sake of keeping his child.
