    Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health condition characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. And here I discuss my own personal experience living with narcissistic personality disorder. Including the symptoms and behaviors associated with this disorder, as well as how it has affected my life. I also share some of my coping strategies and how I have been able to manage the disorder, along with helping you understanding your loved ones and their behaviors that may seem almost incomprehensible and potentially hurtful. Hopefully, my channel will provide insight into what it's like to live with narcissistic personality disorder, as well as what it's like for your loved ones. Thank you for watching!

    The concept of emptiness is interesting to me because it seems like something you have to have felt the absence of to even understand it’s presence. Like if someone was born in the dark and raised in it, then light will be something they can’t tolerate nor desire once it’s finally shown to them. But a person born in light, raised in darkness, then shown light again will recognize it’s something they’re missing even if it’s hard for them to comprehend. It almost feels hopeful, like it’s something that you can grow accustomed to again because it was in you in the beginning.

      I guess that’s when you feel the absence. When babies it’s because of something, and it’s a baby’s form of communication. It’s crying for help. I guess you’re right. That’s when we first felt the absence. It usually happens within the first year. That’s the most important for your attachment style which affects layer issues that might evolve.

      Yeah.. I feel like we're born/created from the Light (God, Love / A higher place), but then we enter a much darker dense world where we feel disconnected, alone & far from home.. And nothing will ever fill that void until we consciously seek to reconnect spiritually with our maker. Without seeking, receiving & having this higher love flow through us, we're reduced to nothing more than the constant hypervigilant B.S chatter of our lower natures futile attempts at control.

    Fucking hell! That’s why I can never remain in therapy. It’s like I’m trying to show them that I know just as much as they do and that I know what’s wrong with me, in hopes it’ll impress them like, “damn, this guy is special. He’s so insightful and smart. He isn’t like any other person I’ve ever met. Maybe he ought to be MY therapist.” 😩 I can’t see a therapist for long because I think I’m better than they are.
    The suicide note is also relatable because I’m picturing peoples reactions to it, but I can never commit because I have that berating voice telling me nobody will even care, they’ll just move on and forget me. I could only kill myself if I could die, witness peoples feelings and reactions and then resurrect to wipe their tears away lmfao

There's probably some truth to that, to be honest. Maybe even a lot of truth. I mean who better understands the disorder than a self-aware narcissist, right?
      At the end of the day, I think you guys have the intelligence to basically be your own therapists, and work through the challenges in your own way. Talking to others is just sort of an additional source of information included in that process. And I'm willing to bet the most valuable and helpful information you've gained were probably from other self-aware narcissists like Nameless.

A perfectly healthy normal person ends up feeling insane. Victims are totally destroyed.

An object that was useful at one point, and suddenly no more victims life is changed forever.

    Man talk therapy doesn't work. You guys need to do deep trauma therapy through Somatic Experiencing and the Polyvagal framework. I can't stress this enough. Talk therapy doesn't work. Psychoanalysis doesn't work. Behavioral therapies don't work. Awareness of your patterns doesn't work. You need to go deep into the earliest childhood trauma memories, that's where the problems lie but unfortunately, those memories are the hardest to access due to them being the most painful. It takes years of consistently weekly therapy but it HAS to be with a trauma therapist who knows how to gently, carefully, safely and ethically bring you in there. EMDR is a good place to start to deactivate the intense emotional charges which can help to get in there, but after that you need a proper trauma therapist to integrate those experiences and realign your nervous system.

    Nothing in the universe makes an individual feel no longer isolated, no longer alone, like experiencing your internal unspoken truth come from an external source. Jacob, as brutally honest or superficially self-aggrandizing as you come to your Channel video after video, week after week, baring your soul with a blood Eagle or fearlessly regaling your own beauty questioning your own perception. I am happy for you that you were gifted with this story that like lightning burned into your very soul. If you ever thought that your NPD diagnosis would forever distance you from other people, now you know. Experience trumps knowledge. I like to think that you are now part of a different special group… Among those people who have seen themselves and been changed by experiencing themselves through someone else.
    And a man said, Speak to us of Self-Knowledge.
    And he answered, saying:
    Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.
    But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart’s knowledge.
    You would know in words that which you have always known in thought.
    You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams.
    And it is well you should.
    The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs rise and run murmuring to the sea;
    And the treasure of your infinite depths would be revealed to your eyes.
    But let there be no scales ot weigh your unknown treasure;
    And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line.
    For self is a sea boundless and measureless.
    Say not, “I have found the truth,” but rather, “I have found a truth.”
    Say not, "I have found the path of the soul.” Say rather, “I have met the soul walking upon my path.”
    For the soul walks upon all paths.
    The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed.
    The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.

    Basically (correct me if I'm wrong) but neuro-typicals by default are spontaneous and authentic and reactive in their behaviors and interactions with others (interpersonal osmosis) and will only be more proactive or calculated to achieve certain or special goals. Whereas, narcs by default are proactive and calculated in their behaviors and interactions with others (interpersonal manipulation) And self-aware narcs who want to be authentic can't seem to because their massive and fragile egos make it very hard to be real and vulnerable and genuine, hence the mask.

      What you said is partially true. However, there is something to be said for empathy, isn't there? Many people who stay with narcissists are genuinely empathetic people who try to make things work, and who try to see the good in their partners, rather than the bad. It's not like they always necessarily end up in abusive relationships due to some deep insecurity or "mental illness". And once they start to realize that something is horribly wrong, and that their partners are not what they appear to be, I mean yeah they're gonna be looking for answers somewhere.
      I think the number one thing that most ex-partners of narcissists struggle to wrap their heads around, is the idea that their partners GENUINELY wanted to hurt them. This is something that is almost unfathomable to an empath, for example. When my ex-partner abused me, my go-to rationalization for it was always "she doesn't really mean it", or "it's basically just a cry for help, and I should help her" etc. It literally took me forever to realize the truth - she did, in fact, genuinely want to hurt me. Her hatred and vindictiveness was 100% real, and as far as she was concerned, we were basically enemies who were at war with each other.
      So what does this mean, exactly? You seem to be saying that the non-narcissist bears some responsibility for this (basically victim-blaming). I don't completely agree with that, to be honest. I will admit that I was incredibly naive, and truly didn't understand the disorder or the evil that it was capable of. But my behaviour does not reveal a "mental illness" on my part. At the end of the day, she was still the one with the disorder, not me.

    BPD is the only match for NPD or ASPD imo. Lashing out and spewing all the things you know about that person bc you know how they operate just as well as they know you. I totally get saying the most damaging and real things, burning bridges so there is no opportunity of getting back to the relationship. And yet, there is a sense that nothing will ever seem as real or truthful as that relationship was. Bc you saw each other's emptiness.
    I like focusing on the treatment rather than the awareness. It's only information. What we do after we know what's going on is the true cure. And I think it's much harder to get over NPD, first of all because our society promotes it, and second of all because I'm not sure they know how to love themselves or others in a real way. I don't know if anything goes beyond image or how things look to others. I as a BPD feel so strongly. I feel so genuinely about things. To a fault. I care. I don't know if someone with NPD will be able to learn how to truly care. And think beyond themselves.
    For my own narcissistic tendencies, seeking external validation and getting that Self-esteem juice, my cure was realizing my own worth. No need for others approval.

You can't "teach" empathy to a sociopath or narcissist it's not possible. Even if you torture them it just won't work! Trust me I'm not lying about this! Alot of our kind (Cluster B) avoid your kind (Empaths) for good reasons. Take solace that most bad people in the US end up in jail eventually or punished in some way shape or form but lemme break it down for you. An BPD looks at an Empath as predictable insipid and subhuman trash. An NPD is obsessed with themselves and power & control over others and total dominance over a social setting and will tell you (Empaths) anything they want to hear to get what they want. Neither cares about you whatsoever tbh but an NPD will at least lie to you to make you "feel" good.

      @@GemmaCraft 100% agree with you Gemma. The problem with narcissists is that their brain never turns off, they're always thinking. They literally live in their head completely dissociated from reality. So they go to talk therapy which engages the thinking mind and because their grandiosity influences them to think they know more than a therapist and more about their own problems, they think they run mental circles around the therapist but they're just playing more mind games, with the therapist and with themselves moreso. It's a trauma response. It's a protection mechanism to avoid letting anyone get close to their core internal wounds, which is really where they need to go to heal. Problem is, earliest memories are non-verbal. If you can't get the narcissist out of his own mind, you can't go to the non-verbal memories. Herein lies the problem. They also don't trust anyone. If you can't trust a therapist, you're not going to let them heal you. It took me 8 months of talking pure shite to my therapist before my mind started to give way and my nervous system registered, finally, that the therapist was someone I could trust. Then we started to go deeper, do Somatic Experiencing work and get into the body to FEEL what was happening that the mind was trying to block out. I don't have NPD but I do have a significant amount of early trauma, not too mentioned being raised by a narcissist, so although it took me 8 months to START letting my guard down, it might take much longer for a narcissist. And they might never let their guard down. The trauma is big, so early and so deep it's just too painful to get in there and their protection mechanisms are too strong. But all this talk about being smarter than the therapist, it's a delusion. It's protection. It's avoidance. It's game playing. It's actually running mental circles around yourself. I feel so sorry for them. Even the way he only replies to the comments that give him supply, boost his ego, reconfirm his delusions, don't make him reflect too deeply, and ignores the ones that speak some truth and suggest how he could actually change and heal. He'll tell himself some convenient story about how those comments aren't relevant to him. Avoidance. Running away. That's the trauma response, the protective mechanism in action. We think the mind games they play with us are bad, the mind games they play with themselves are the worst.

I don't think being critical and judgement is the answer and I'm not saying that to kiss ass I'm saying it because it's the truth I think actually listening and understanding and evaluating is the answer!.

    Wow, thanks for sharing. Fascinating. Shame it is so utterly sad.
    I’m trying to work out if my ex was like this.. he wasn’t a straight forward narc though, he flipped into narc rage at the slightest twinge of shame, or if I tried a gentle boundary but the rest of the time he exhibited more Bpd traits- very warm and emotional, up and down, compulsive, anxious disorganised attachment rather than avoidant. He might have been the best actor ever but he only exhibited grandiosity minimally.. However at the beginning of the relationship he had a weird turn one night and told me he was a psychopath.. a week later he said he was the most dangerous man I could know (which actually does sound grandiose now lol), I didn’t take these warnings as seriously as I ought to at the time because I could see how much he loved his daughter, and how emotional he was, so it seemed like he was exaggerating. Later in the relationship he revealed that he felt empty and like everything he said was manipulative on some level, that he couldn’t trust himself at all, that his personality was a dead corpse he’d been dragging around for years. Very confusing though because he could also be genuinely supportive, very affectionate, so I’m left wondering just how fake was he?! 🙈 I honestly felt more loved by him than all of my previous boyfriends! Which would fit the Bpd thing. He was super emotionally available most of the time, and a great listener. I guess maybe he was just Bpd so extreme that he was on the psychopathic end of it, which would explain the listening and the absence of less sophisticated giveaways like blatant grandiosity or casual put downs. He would save his scathing character assassination and reality warping devaluation for when he was triggered, and it was then that the sadism came out, the deliberate attempts to dismantle my self esteem and bring me down to the level that I presume he felt he was at, underneath it all. I thought he might be Bpd with comorbid narc traits?
    So what do you think? Do you think with this evidence it probably means he was more fake than I realised? Or just a really messy extreme borderline? Ie- the emotions were real but he was just so scared of abandonment and shame that it sent him a bit loopy? Can it be both?? I feel like it would help me understand and move on if I knew, because at the moment I’m left with a huge question mark. I’ve been trying to grieve it for 9 months and I stupidly still miss him a lot because of the good stuff. When he wasn’t in the upside down, he was my best friend, and we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. He was working on healing his issues, but it was just a mega task and I was getting too done in. I need my brain to wake the f up. Any insight from Bpd sufferers with narc traits, I’m very interested in hearing what you have to say! Thanks.

    I see the exhaustion you feel from feeling your thoughts. Before I began to listen to you just now, I already knew you. I’ve dated “you” for ten years. If you believe that nobody will ever “truly see you for who you are,” then you are wrong. Most people see you just fine. You do not see yourself. If you want people to see just who you are, why not share those parts? Why not make a video, look straight into the camera, speak confidently, and say “THIS is who I AM.” Most people want to understand the narcissist or revenge on them…why? Being a narcissist is like being a small baby bird who fell out of nest during a storm, far away from mama. This bird flocks in the water with wet wings, it shivers, and hides. It starves. It cries out for mama. It’s not the bird’s fault it fell out of a nest, it was the storm. But, the little bird blames itself forever…

    The only actual question I have is:
    If you and other narcissists live with a false sense of identity, presented outwards as an act, why do you still want to relate to people?
    Would it not be better to follow the path of a psychopaths and to try and let go of any remaining humanity.
    Why do you want to go down the path of wanting to be understood?
    Why do you want to heal, what´s the benefit for you?

    My question for you would be: Do you really believe your own lies when for example stating that your ex girlfriend cheated or so (smear campaign) and if so. Do you ever (when time passes) understand that you were lying to yourself and feel regret discarding her.
    Yes, I am taking about regret cause you already mentioned that you almost never felt 'remorse".

    It continues to amaze me how you, as a narcissist, often display behaviour on your channel that is decidedly NOT narcissistic.
    I mean you literally had the balls to say "don't even watch my videos anymore, just read this", and I'm left wondering what UA-camr in their right mind would willingly put their own channel on the line like that? If anything, I would've expected you to keep the writing hidden and secretly use it for your video ideas, hoping to god that none of your viewers stumble across the original source to expose you as a plagiarist 😅
    But you literally did the exact opposite of that. Your first reaction, after discovering this piece of information, was basically "to hell with my channel, I gotta share this". You don't seem to be concerned that someone else was able to, potentially, communicate narcissism more eloquently than you. In fact, it doesn't even seem to have been a factor at all - at least not to the extent to have stopped you from sharing it.
    I think what you've proven here is that there is another drive in you that supercedes your narcissitic drive for self-esteem juice. And I'm really being dead serious when I say that. What that drive is, I'm not entirely sure of. But I think it probably has to do with the pursuit of truth, either pursuing truth or revealing it etc. I genuinely believe this might be one of the few (if not the ONLY) things more important to you than self-esteem juice!

    This was good.. But why did he fell that being fake is necessarily bad? Why he isn't proud of it? Sure, it is a bit sad (just a little bit) but isn't fatness an essence of life here? So if you are fake, it means you cracked the code. I tend to think people are fake generally, the difference is you know it and they don't. They still think it's *real*.

    • @carlruppert7324
      @carlruppert7324 2 роки тому +5

      @thelaziestbee, it has to do with people's sense of self, a concept that is quite fascinating in psychology as a whole, and not just with NPD. Having a strong sense of self means that you genuinely see yourself as an individual person with specific traits and characteristics. You instinctively feel like you have a real identity, and that identity is, in almost every way, who you are as a person at your core. The feeling of fakeness that you describe indicates the opposite, a weak sense of self - basically feeling like you're not actually a person, and you don't really have an identity. Despite what you may think, not everyone feels this way. Really, I swear I'm not just making this up, you can research it yourself if you like. There's even a neurological basis for this stuff as well. Very, very interesting!
