I live with a narcissist who is a diabetic. He thinks he can just put a device on his body to regulate his bloodsugar, and still eat sugar. He refuses to change his diet. I gave up on him because like every other narcissist they think they are smarter than anyone in the room and that the rules don't apply to them. There is no reasoning with them, none. They are there own worst enemies. Run!
Shelly you said it very well🌹👍❤️🌸
Wow, magical thinking 🤔
Type 2 diabetes? Regardless, he won't escape side effects. You have my sympathy and admiration for enduring.
I don't think he is a narcissist, just irresponsible
@@handreaalexandru1446 That's just one major thing he does, and thinks he can get away with it. He lies constanstly and is extremely entiltle. I live with him, so I know. He's a covert.
I live with someone like this. My life is hell. I want to leave.
You have to do more than "want" to leave. You actually have to do it. If you don't have kids, it's better to sleep in your car.
@@le_th_ I'll die.
I always recommend your videos as I find the delivery of large quantities of complex material in a readily digestible and non patronising way is priceless. You have a way that makes things stick. However, I can now add accuracy to that list with complete certainty. My ex husband was actually diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder, which isn’t something that happens a lot but he was an extreme case. This is an almost word for word description of him. All of it. Every last bit. People watching should know this information is what they really need to know.
My most recent relationship was with a female grandiose narcissist. She is a senior partner in a law firm and she made it sound as if the entire law firm was successful because of her presence. She is in positions of authority in several organizations as this gives her validation thus feeding her ego. I saw several bouts of narcissistic rage when she didn't get her way and it was obvious she was cheating on me especially towards the latter stages of the 4 months we were together. I had a bad vibe pretty much from the onset but gave her more time. 4 months isn't terrible but I regret not leaving within the first month.
Lol my narc were mostly lawyers - also social workers, stockbroker & a criminal.
Sorry about the cheating. I think these people can have traumatic impact within the first month, if we are unsuspecting and take the lovebombing as genuine.
@@erikavaleries it's funny her love bomb wasn't all that great. I dated a covert narcissist for 3 years before this most recent relationship and her long game was impeccably executed. She put a lot of effort and I was hooked. The breakup was devastating and it almost killed me. Also her cheating was much harder to detect and again only became obvious at the end because she detested me at that point and didn't care. This last one I was just happy to get away from her. Ultimately I never really had a strong attraction to her. The prior woman was much prettier and I fell hard.
Unless daddy gives you the money to start your own firm, or your parents own the firm themselves and made you a senior partner in name only, the senior partners ARE the reason any law firm has been successful, and it doesn't matter if they're narcissists, sociopaths, or psychopaths. They brought in the billable hours and won the cases. Like it or not, those are just the reality of that business. That wasn't an exaggeration, and it wasn't a grandiose delusion. That is how just about every senior partner becomes a senior partner.
Now, the other stuff...serial cheating (which she was likely doing from the moment you started dating, only you didn't realize it), the rages when she wasn't given "special" treatment (read: given her way), those are definitely call-outs.
Be glad she wasn't a 30 year old, 6'4", 210-pound male in his physical prime. Those testosterone-filled rages are more life-threatening than annoying.
@@le_th_ all the people she triangulated me with that weren't family members were married two were brothers and I did a little research and found out these two brothers grew up in the same town as her and one of them attended the same college that she attended before she went to law school so clearly these guys are forever supply to her. Neither one of them are high value and they didn't make me jealous whatsoever. One other person she triangulated me with is an overweight married woman who I suspect might be her new supply. Typically they downgrade when they leave you and in her own mind she can feel good about the fact that she is leaving me for a woman which is the ultimate disrespect even though this poor woman is doing me a huge favor.
I think this individual is often found in (top-) management...I could tell a fun story about a CEO, who portraied herself as a psychotherapist in front of her audience / employees...She hired me in order to coordinate operations in a country she didn't know anything about (thus my presence, but then, I got almost punished for my skills). +, I have a degree in psychology so it didn't take me that long to figure out her BS...even though I didn't openly say anything, she sensed it clearly. I ended my daily walk on eggshells rather quickly. From what I heard through the grapevines, she managed to collapse her company after being caught basically stealing (a lot!) from her major client...
When I told my psychiatrist I had delusions of being a dog, he told me to get of his couch. Every dog has his day I thought as I laid down on the floor and started telling him about my infallible Middle East peace plan.
Yea I agree with your video, they can also be a very charming and aultristic, very deceiving, but very controlling,they are dangerous people 👍❤️🌸
I believe you just described a good portion of medical administrators.
If they would fell from the height of their own ego, it would be as if they fell from kilometers of actual height onto the concrete.
Thank you Darren. These lists are helpful for keeping me up to date on how to spot these people. I've found that the coverts can act like raging grandiose narcissists when the mask slips. Underneath, they are all utterly selfish, vindictive, control craving "victims" incapable of love.
Yup. You are so right. He flaunted any authority. Small things like parking at the front door of the mall, because he was the most important. He tried to distract and impress anyone he needed something from. He thought he could charm his way to the top.
I have a former sister-in-law who fits that description, and at the time I actually thought she was suffering from manic episodes, she was a workaholic, successful, social climber... could it be she was both? She never seemed to be depressed, and it's only my assumption she was manic.
You’ve just perfectly described my ex wife.
Grandiose is more obnoxious but much easier to cope, to me
This describes my late husband to a T. I was treated atrociously by him and even began to think that I was the narcissist Your presentation has alleviated that concern.
Thank you again for sharing your expertice.
question Darren, Can a person be both Grandiose and vulnerable? I have an in-law that is definitely grandiose but I know he is a very vulnerable behind it all. He is not a nice person either way.
Hello Gerry - I know I'm not Darren yet I have a few minutes to comment. I think grandiosity and vulnerability can co-exist in the same narcissist. Specifically I think the 'core' narcissism is pretty much the same between the two styles; yet it's the environment they exist in for the majority of their interactions that determines how the narcissism manifests itself. A narcissist who has a job and makes good money may frequently exhibit the grandiose-type behaviours in order to be seen as the big-dog (shout others down in meetings, claim credit for others' work and so on). But the same person in a stay-at-home parent role may 'pivot' to forever bemoaning (to their children) how terrible the world is, and how they had their dreams trampled and how they're such a pure soul but the world is horrid and corrupting through-and-through. They'll try to do everything to stop their children venturing out into the world so that they push their miserable worldview onto the next generation and also to stop the kids finding out that it's nowhere near as bad as they claim. In each case the 'narcissistic over-compensation' is taking place in a way appropriate to their situation. [Edit: catch the vulnerable type thrust into a public situation and grandiosity may manifest, and vice versa, though they'll probably be not as slick at operating on the unfamiliar playing field.]
You may wish to consider, though - does it matter to know whether someone narcissistic is vulnerable, or grandiose, or both? Does it fundamentally make a huge difference to how you'll deal with them (for you it may make a difference, for me it didn't).
@@HandbrakeBiscuit Well said.
@@shelley7975 Thankyou!
It is the obverse and reverse of the same coin. I had a 3 year relationship with a vulnerable narcissist and most recently a 4 month relationship with a grandiose narcissist. I had experience with the former and was able to spot the latter much more quickly this saving me potentially more pain and suffering the second time.
@@HandbrakeBiscuit Thank you! Very interesting reply.
Star Wars Fan?! Nice collection!
Love your channel darren
My Mom, to a tee. No contact for a year.
This video describes my ex best friend to. a. tee. Wow. I didn’t start seeing all of these traits in her until the last year of our friendship and more and more they became grotesquely apparent. It got so bad toward the end that I couldn’t speak more than two sentences without her interrupting me and turning the conversation back to herself. Everything that happened to me happened to her only better (or worse). The stories I could tell would shock most people. In the end, when I couldn’t take any more of this crazy self imposed drama she continually placed herself in and the constant negativity and self pity and simply told her I needed a break, suddenly I was the worst person on earth. This after giving so much of myself, my finances, my time, my empathy to the point of being emotionally drained for over a year. When I told her that I would not be manipulated that way she called ME a narcissist. Of course, everyone to her was a narcissist. That is when I cut off ties with her for good. She fools everybody with her charm and outgoing nature but inwardly she is an EXTREMELY evil person. This happened in July 2023 it is now Jan 2024 and I am still healing. BTW she is friends with my son in laws mother and inserts herself into family events. My self care for now is steering clear. She is NEVER welcome in my life again.
Great job
Very comprehensive. Thank you.
Thank you this video, Darren. I’m afraid you just described my ex 😂
Wish my sister and I had been familiar with these traits before she went down the rabbit hole with her ex. By the time she finally left him, he had done so much damage to her life, in so many ways. Ugh.
EXCELLENT
What do you do when your not provided with any evidence for what you’ve been accused of?
my ex claimed he has experience death. he claimed he can see supernatural things also he could cure evil spirit and I told him keep to yourself he got mad btw he was 58 at the time lol 😂
They make excellent cult leaders.
We know the same person!
Pretty sure you’ve just described at least 3 politicians I’m aware of Darren….cripes
All politicians.
Only 3?
Disagree with the things what they are saying, will make them revenge on us.
Are narcissists normally classist?
Is narcissism evil?
It can be. It’s the opposite of love.
From my experience, YES YES YES
From my experience, YES YES YES
Sounds like a certain Trudeau
This video describes my male partner of 14 years 100% accurately. He has all these traits and more and also oscillates between grandiose overt and vulnerable covert. I'm currently planning my escape route from his financial debt trap and physical illness dependency that he's caused me due to stress related illnesses from 14 yrs of his narcissistic domestic abuse.
the thing about experts is that whatever advice an expert offers one can always find an equally qualified expert who says otherwise
I think we found a narc.
