      here is one...still drowning but I am loveless now. Meaning they took it all out of me, now I give them the crumbs they turned me into ...what worked for me, was, is, other than hearing videos like this one, was to start Reiki shorts and get deeply hypnotized delivered to the point of driving them mad with my absent presence. I 'm here but I am elsewhere. They need your presence and attention. You stop leasing attention, you start the disengagement.....The difficult part is to turn off that switch.
      You have to be fast, steady, ruthless, perseverant.
      And you have to bring yourself to a deep self convinction that turning away IS IT!!!
      To do that, you have to remember yourself, which is what they worked so hard to make you forget!!!!
      This man is right: it has to be approached like a detanglement from addiction, food, everything.
      I am deep under water. 11 years.
      Now, I don t care.
      I took away the fun, I took away the dialogue, I took away the money, I made it a point to forget Xmas, holidays, birthdays, etc
      And I feed them the same food they fed me....Guess what??
      Scratching the door, begging for a let me in....Ah Aaah....Neh Neh.
      I am always busy.
      If I let them in, they must wash my tub, do my floors or fix some issue with the sink....
      They have to cook. I only have Ramen soup and green aloha sprouts...no more hand made pizza, no more cherry cream pie whipped and toppled.....
      I sit on the couch and call a long list of handsome men ( only men) while they wash my floor.
      And if they don't like it, that is the door.....On top of that, My female neighbour, who also was scarred by narci behaviour in her life, agreed to add the vanilla cream to the root beer: so, at some point, she shows up by her garden fence next door, in beach bikini home relax, and teases them all around....and when they go have a little Vitamin D with them on the lounge...she gets her whip out.....You can call us the Narcissist Worst Nightmare..... Oh, by the way.....
      did I mention how many times I was doirmatted, abused, battered, hit, shamed, downed to other women, money peeled, used, dream-annihilated, laughed at, defeated and turned into a crying pan???
      Well....EVERY HUMAN BEING deserves RESPECTFUL INTERACTION AND SINCERE LOVE. And this is my motto.
      In each person that suffers by narci abuse, there is the seed of a hero that can change the world by enacting the behaviour opposite and contrary to that received by the abuser.
      It's all life learning curve.
      You always have the upper hand.
      They just work at making you forget that.....REMEMBER, REMEMBER, REMEMBER.

      @@sleeperno1215 It's a fully automatic, robotic behavior:
      Before the hoover attempt, your internal image in the narcissist's mind turned into a good object. She started to idealize you, that's why so she started a hoover.
      After the hoover failed, she was in cognitive dissonance: she thought you was 'good' but you acted 'bad' towards her. Even by doing nothing.
      To solve this, the narcissist just simply flip your internal image in her mind: you become a bad object, an enemy, and from now on, you will tell this to people, not because she lies, because it's the reality she perceives.
      In David Attenborough's voice: Marvellous creatures :D

      It's always easier after a bad narcissist situation. Promise. Keep watching videos though, definitely gave me a lot of closure. It took me a long time to truly find closure but hopefully after the past 8 months you've gained that. Tbh I'm here because I just learned about hoovering after realizing that this is what this new chick was doing. Super easy to cut people out that act like this and you'll spot those toxic traits right away next time. I promise, after finding closure through something like you went through, other narcs will be lightwork. I usually judge them on a scale of 1-10 😂 like dang this one's a dud. If you're gonna play games atleast get good at them. 😂 and what you'll realize is a lot of narcissists aren't actually "smart". They simply had bad intentions for you while you had good and tried to compromise or take blame for things that weren't even your fault. That's how they stay one step ahead of you. Kind of like always having an uno reverse card. It's cheating lol. Anyways best of luck to you, really hope you're happy now. And hope to God you didn't let them back in. 🙏

    They want something for themselves, but that’s not the case here. Most them just Hoover you for a booty call most of time. Once they hit it, they quit it too.

      They never open up because they have nothing inside only a false self that they project out. They have porcelain personalities and no strength at all. They want us to vomit out all our weaknesses and secrets so they can use to smear us and gossip later. They hound us for details whilst holding all their cards close to their chest. Ignoring the hoover is winning as they think you are playing the same game they are but winning it. They were counting on the trauma bond and co-dependency to draw you back in. They still think you will be a people pleaser and let them walk all over you again. Saying no by saying silent makes them feel vulnerable and wounds them. Their core wound was about being ignored and feeling insignificant so the silent treatment wounds them at the core wound. This can cause an injury which translates as rage. Stay silent even at this part. They are actually making themselves more and more vulnerable by revealing how desperate for supply they are. They are spilling their guts in front of you by showing how much if a supply junkie they really are. The more they spill their guts and the more you stay silent, the more disregulated they become. If you get through all this, the shame they feel is immense and they may back off completely as they realise that you are no longer a source of supply. That is the main thing with narcissists, once you are no longer supply then they will have no use for you. The main lesson to give them is that you will never be supply to them ever again.

Except covert socios next door, that's a whole different horror.

      Mine did the same after he left me.
      But he also said I forced him to leave me. Well why is he back then if I forced him. He didnt mean what he said well he never really apologized. Everytime he tried he said ”I apologize I didnt mean for it to hurt you but you forced me with your actions”
      And the way he said ”I apologize..” was by looking down on the floor. Never really meant it, if I would accuse him now of never being sorry for what he put me through he would say determined as F, he did say he was sorry and apologized. He doesnt know the meaning of a sincere apology. Its too late anyway I dont want one now.
      He did punish me and I as I think now suffer from borderline, so I made a psychopatic exit from this relationship which led to him hitting me and it escalated. I havent responded a word to his bs, and its clearly a punishment, cause he goes from love bombing me to hating me to love bombing me and hating me.

    This is TRUTH! Thank you Ben. If the narcissist doesn't succeed, it will get worse depending on what type of relationship. I have seen numerous times when they didn't succeed, it became a challenge to them and a determination tp win! They will try to ruin your reputation, job, financial stability, turn children against you, your boss, nothing is off limits once they become obsessed! However don't give in. They will eventually stop amd please keep yourself and family safe. Block every avenue possible. And if you find you miss them which is normal, or you are lonely, whatever, get with folks who understand narcissist behaviors, love you for who you are, get a support group, learn everything you can about narcissist behaviors. You can't fix a hole in a wall if you can't see it. This is one subject that needs to be learned and healed from. 🙏

I left 3 months ago finally done. N now he is hoovering again. And im totally ignoring him and he is getting mad n hoovering more.But now I know if I go back this time I will end up in hospital. So it's upto u n ur tolerance level how many times u go back, there will b a rock bottom when u will be done.

First of all, you're now HAPPILY Married so why do you have any of my phone #'s? That means you're still holding on to them. A normal person would've removed their x)ex #'s out their phone.

    I've just ordered the journal, I'll let you know if it helped. I've struggled to emotionally detach from my ex. I can't be sure if he's a narcissist or an avoidant but he certainly has narcissistic traits, lots of the classic behaviours. Trying to understand is keeping me stuck. I'm working hard to try to stop doing this and am making progress but three months recovery from a three year relationship seems long enough and I'm exhausted and saddened by it.
    I made it worse for myself as originally tried to remain friends/friendly. I'd had a successfully remained friends with my ex-husband. But I realised I just gave him the opportunity to continue to cause me pain. I struggle with this thought but I think he gets enjoyment from seeing other people in pain. He projects an image of a kind and caring person and thrives on people feeling sorry for him.

I stupidly responded when he asked me how I was then tried to gain back power by bragging about his new apartment and disappeared when I responded. I fell into the trap and blew up his phone and he discarded me again. Nearly a month ago he asked me how I was after discarding me and I still haven’t responded. I used to always respond to him even if I was ignoring him..I’d respond within like 3-4 days. He was used to that so he thinks he can just come in and out as he pleases. Not anymore.

      @julianmyers4043 , Very true. The enablers and flying monkeys are scared of them so in order to prevent retaliation from the narc. they agree with about anything to prevent backlash and being a target. As in all narcs. they have a high unrealistic and unachievable standard. Eventually, in time, they will be the target and will experience the repercussions of the narc. It is only a matter as of the simplest of things can cause someone or anyone to be a target. Narcs. hold no alliances to family, friends, coddlers, flying monkeys, and especially codependents. Narcs. are on their own private yacht and those who are in their web of influence are welcome, but there are conditions and unspoken rules and if you make a mistake or if they narc. feels like you betrayed them you will be targeted and punished. Only then will others know who they truly are.

    I know a narcissist who said he loved his wife in the beginning of their marriage, although she filled for divorce since due to his drug addiction. He also always talks about a previous relationship that he called his soul mate and can't stop thinking about her. Do narcissist ever love anyone ever? Or is he lying about his previous relationships? It's just so hard to accept they never really care about anyone especially after spending time with him and believing he cared.

    • @Prometheuspredator

      No, they love no one just themselves. They hate everyone. They hate people and it doesn't matter who it is. Don't believe him about anything as narcissists lie and lie about anything and everything. Be careful and use caution when talking to him. Narcs. can easily pull others into their mind games, manuplation and lies. Never believe a word he says. Just listening and talking to him supports his lies, behavior, and is basically coddling and enabling him. Stay away from encouraging, enabling, and coddling him. If you don't he will expect it from you and if you are unavailable for some reason to be there he will turn against you, and you will become a target.

      @@doloresdercole381, Your so welcome. Glad to help. Since he has a violent past be cordial and pleasant, and that should be it. Make very limited small talk. Cut and dry, and to the point. Try not to engage to much and allow him to go into his history and sob stories. Avoid his drama at all costs. No need to stand around and listen, and converse with him about his life and situations. Typical conversations are how life has treated them so wrong and I am the victim. Narcs. always play the victim card as they will avoid and never own up to what they did to cause and participate in their so called story. It is abunch of wah, wah, wah poor me crap. Yea, discussions of anything please try to avoid. Be nice and cordial, and make up an excuse and leave. Don't allow him to occupy your time as you know we all stay busy with life and all. Never believe anything he says and take it as a lie. A fabricated story to pull you into spear of influence. To feel sorry and pitty for him. That is the last thing you want to do. Standing around and listening to his "How life has treated him soooo bad and he never got a fair shake" will place you in a position that he will expect you to listen and support his drama story. You mentioned he has a violent past more the reason to avoid him as much as you can and not allow yourself to listen to his fabricated stories and lies. For myself anything thing that comes out of a narcs. mouth is a big fat lie. Also, they also lie about childhood abuse. Don't believe it as fact, because most or all of the story is a lie. My ex brother did this crap. He was the "Golden Child" and youngest of his siblings. A spoiled entitled brat. My parents coddled, enabled, and rescued him until they past away. Since they are nolonger with us his narcissistism has gotten so much worse. He is a danger to others and very violent. I do believe he is capable of murder as his out of control rages are over the top. He despises women, babies, children, waiters/waitresses, convience store employees, and so on. I am waiting for his teeth to be knocked out and getting the crap beat out of him. I discarded him like no tomorrow and he had no idea as it was all of a sudden. No discussions, sit downs or warnings I dropped him. He is very violent and a malignant narcissist. It sounds like this guy is a malignant narcissist as well as you mentioned he is violent. Malignant narcissists are the worst type of narcissist on the Narcissistic Personality Disorder spectrum. They are anti social and fall within the "Dark Triad." They are capable of anything even murder. Good luck to you. Stay pleasant and cordial and that is about it. Make it very short and simple and no discussions. This leaves him very little room to target you. Never share anything personal about your life, past, present, and future. Nothing. If this guy starts acting funky and expecting you to participate in his embellished stories and lies you may want to consider moving. Say nothing to anyone in the apartment complex, except the manager. Keep it quiet. This guy is violent and I don't want you to become a target.

And Dad said “you never get over your girlfriends, you think about them all the time.” I said “What? I got over my ex, I don’t think about him. No one should keep thinking about their exes, they should let go and move on!”

      @@Prometheuspredator I really appreciate your detailed input. I am still trying to deal with the reality of the relationship all being fake. I m so hurt and angry. We had fun, we laughed a lot, shared a lot of our past experiences. Although it was not physical it was very emotional. I was loving him just talking to him.
      He does know a lot about me now. 3 days ago he knocked on my door to introduce his daughter to me ,who was visiting from out of town. I was very surprised since we were not communicating .
      She was delightful and I let them in for a while and we had excellent conversation. I maintained non emotional demeanor as he brought up 4 things/ events that previously provoked me. I congratulated myself for my calmness.
      He said I was mean and nasty but I didn't even respond.
      That comment most likely is referring to me ending our friendship, telling him he was disrespecting me and I would not allow it. I was so hurt by things he said and did in the end that I lashed out devaluing him.

    my fantasy: he actually loves me but is rude to me because he has given too much of himself in past relationships so he's suspicious of people but I will love him so much that he forgets her and learns to be vulnerable with me and will no longer feel the need to hurt me

    i'll keep this as "noted" just in case it happens to me one day. not sure what he did to me called hoover or not but when i blocked him, he only dug my old youtube comments and liked em + did few silly things for few weeks to lure me back/to make me contact him but after that it dies down til today im writing this. we aint live in the same country anyways n he doesnt know where i am (my address) so he only could do online things.

    He sought my empathy. Then was giddy and silly. Then said we had to stall divorce. Then wanted to help with a project. Then got cold and nasty again.

      Ran into ex at a bar. We exchanged hellos. As I exited the parking lot for home, he approached my car and demanded that I back up to answer his questions. I drove off. He sighed.

    I'm dealing with triangulation at the gym. Got rejected and girl was with current guy the next day. My question is the guy mate guarded for the longest time, and since me and the girl who I have ignored for months had mutual eye contact, she's now trying to get my attention again and her new goon will leave me alone with her.. why is that? And do narcs feel lust and attraction? I've got more fit recently and I think she's trying g because of that..
