      Agreed, I'm glad it did not last longer then 3 months after texting with her for 5 months before actually dating. Its crazy, I even remember asking her. Ain't that narcistic when we had a discussion about me dropping her of somewhere with the car as it came over as demanding. Little did I know, luckily I have experience with women and it was not hard for me to walk away, when she started the break up games after meeting her parents and becoming more emotional invested. I always kept my guard up with her, that saved me. She also gave me my 1st now fully recovered STD, perhaps she cheated. Now I know what good women are and for the 1st time 1st hand I experienced a narcistic woman.

      I am a female.. and I have been dealing with one for the last 7 years.. use you for everything they can get from you.. and when you have nothing else to offer.. they turn completely evil and accuse you of things that you are not or have never done.. they talk so negatively about you when you are not needed anymore. Then, get upset when you stop talking to them or coming around.. and all of a sudden you're needed again and you're their "ride or die"... It's a constant whirlwind.. and materialistic.. WHOOO... So very much so... Flaunting money all over... Even knowing you are in a hole... And could use that help.. Unfortunately, I live maybe 50 steps from them.. calls you sister (not by blood).. then tells you you're a thief.. when they are going above and beyond to keep you in that hole.. where you "need" them.... I'm over it!!

    My mother was a Covert Narcissist. The everlasting impact she had on my life is still a challenge for me to overcome. She left behind another female Covert copy(my older sister) a malignant narcissist (my youngest brother) and another younger narcissistic brother. I was the scapegoat fighting against those 4 plus an evil compliant step-dad. I survived these demons! I don't have any contact with those left behind after my mom's death.

      good now get saved If you died right now are you a 100% sure you’d go to Heaven?
      all people have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
      What is sin? Sin is essentially any bad thing we've ever done.
      Because of sin the punishment is a burning hell.
      “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
      ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21‬:‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬
      Do u know why you have to be saved?
      Do u know the story of Jesus? (If yes skip next step) if not do next step. God came down to earth as a man. Lived for 33 and a half years. He never sinned his whole life. Eventually some people got jealous of him and got him convicted of phony charges. He got crucified on the cross. Died. Was buried for 3 days then he was resurrected by his own power.
      Do you know why Jesus went through all this bloody mess for us?
      It’s because remember your sin is the problem why you can’t go to Heaven right?
      The only thing that can wash away your sin is the blood of Jesus Christ
      “But God shows his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
      ‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬
      God did all that to save us from hell
      "Much more than, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.”
      ‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬
      Ephesians 2:8-9
      “We’re saved by Grace through faith which is not of ourselves it is the gift of God not by works for fear any man should boast”
      Salvation is not by good works like “water baptism, attending church, any good thing you do”
      “For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.”
      ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭7‬:‭10‬ ‭KJV‬‬
      Feeling godly sorrow leads to salvation
      To be saved you have to feel guilty for being a sinner do you feel guilty for being a sinner?
      “that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
      ‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬
      If you agree with all that. All you have to do be saved is this. You have to mean it.
      Dear God I repent as a sinner I believe Jesus is God who died buried and resurrected so his blood can wash away my sins. So I only trust in the blood alone to save me. Not my good works. To save me from hell in Jesus name. I pray amen
      Just saying it wont save you you have to mean it

    Thank you Jill for the validation. It’s as if you peeked into my 38 year emotionally destructive marriage to a covert Narcissist as described by my Psychologist. My ex filled the boxes: 10 for 10. She refused by our Therapist to get a Psychological evaluation. So she filed for divorce instead. Analogy: It’s as if she pulled the pin on an emotional grenade and blew the family up. And after the smear campaign, I was stuck holding the pin and blamed for the cause.

    I'm in my mid 40s, I just thought my mother was a bitty and didn't like anyone much. I was never allowed to participate in sports, after-school activities, dances, sleep overs. You know, the normal part of a kid, being a kid with friends. At 8, I was babysitting my younger sibling, cleaning the house, mowing the yard, getting lunches ready for my brother and dad for their jobs. I remember getting up one Saturday and being up maybe 10 minutes. My dad ran to the room I was in. He screamed "Get up off your lazy ass and help your mother clean this house." I will never forget it. 8 years old, watching Duck Tales. That's the painful kind of stuff that hits me hard. I was and am not a bad person. I never had the right to have my own emotions, opinions, or boundaries. One of my first memories of my life... 4 years old. I don't know what I did, but I know that my mother loved and gave the silent treatment all the time. I just wanted to be loved, never knew what I did wrong. I learned to listen and not talk. I watched and watch eyes a lot. That was how I knew my dad was going to beat me. The eyes, it's a hollow d ea d look. I saw my older brother get hit so hard at 13 , that my dad flipped him over the couch. I was S.A. and of course I was called a liar, to this day I'm called that. I got married at 17 to get away and out of here. 3 kids. 28 years later and at least 6 or 7 affairs my ex husband had thru the years. We Divorced, about 6 months after it was final my ex sent these long messages " Have you ever thought about us hooking up regularly, all the time?" I told him, no bc he had a gf ( for 2 years now ) and leave the past in the past. He kept on, saying it would be so much fun. I said... for who? I told him he was fd up for messing with my head and heart like that. How could you be married to me for that long, cheat on me, break my heart and our kids. over and over.. So now you want me to be the cheater with you and you're wanting to cheat on your gf with your ex wife. He is cheating on her, all the rime with people he works with, the kids say. ( They are over 21 and grown) I got engaged after that too. I thought I had found my person. He was really good to me. Wellll....1 year later he was BPD and Antisocial pd and I had to take a protective order out, he was stalking me. I actually work for a federal agency and the OIG personnel that I worked with , dared him to come on federal grounds again and told him they would get him for stalking. He left me alone then. To this day my parents don't want or value you to have an opinion. It's their way, you are their property. I'm sorry for anyone that read all that. The video was everything I grew up with and I just wanted to get the yucky feelings out. Praying for all that have been mentally tortured by narcissists.

      I can relate. I'm assuming you are referring to a spouse but I am experiencing this w our 30 yr old daughter after our divorce. Getting worse and more estranged towards me, her brother, and grandma. 😢it's devastating. He has everything, and he chose to be out of their lives 15 yrs. I was patiently waiting for them to wake up, mature, and realize they owed their loyalty and respect towards me for always being there and supporting them. Especially since I have no $$, job, ability to work or do much of anything due to health issues. I'm chronically alone, isolated, depressed, and need help with things. I don't understand. Their dad never wanted to spend a single holiday or birthday or anything in 15 years and they left both their 92 yr old grandma who was always there supporting and helping them, and the mom who is alone, unwell, living in a small condo, all alone in our own homes an hour apart on CHRISTMAS DAY 🎄 WITHOUT EVEN PUTTING MY TREE UP AND MY SON LIED ABOUT GOING AND YELLED AT ME ACCUSING ME OF USING METH AND HAVING "BLACK TEETH" , and then going to his dad's house to have a nice prime rib dinner, dessert, and all the trimmings, w the woman who pursued him & had affair during our marriage and the 2 illegitimate daughter's. They opened gifts, which were laughably cheap for me and my mom, and played games, the one thing I asked to do that never happened.

She never calls me or writes, but after she called me three times at 5:15 in the morning, I told her that is not when I like to wake up, as I had covid which she knew about as I had sent her a note about that, plus I am 71 years old. She has a temper, too, so she flew into a rage and she said that she calls everyone between 5 and 7:00 a.m., and she said "no one else has a problem with it" (therefore I shouldn't either). I'm sure the other pwople she was talking about are her age, not 71 like me. She said she was just calling to see if I was getting over the covid. She turned herself into a victim and told me that if my behavior (?) ever changes, maybe we can have a relationship. She also told me that she will never speak to me again. I didn't tell her that I don't want a relationsip with her any more.
    I am actually happy that she got so mad at me that SHE decided she will never speak to me again, because now I don't have to worry about my phone ringing at 5.a.m.
    I am also glad that she lives five states away from me. I am free now! Free from her toxic positivity, free from her bragging about herself, free from her total lack of empathy, and free from everything you mentioned in this video.

      Narcissists don't take responsibility for anything, they think they are the victims, and they forever perceive the other person as the villain, when it's actually the other way around.

    💯grew up with 4 narcissist- 3 sisters, step-mother and my enabling father. Me, the scapegoat, I call it out.The drama that ensued had my father telling me to apologize - knowing I'm right ..."Just, do it for me" he says...to calm his house down... "I will talk to her/them" and he never did. They would lesson me and I really felt sick apologizing, to one of them " Yes, you see why that is wrong.."I would almost lose it again. Dad passed away 8 years ago and I went NO CONTACT to all of them, blocked all medias refusing attempts to contact me. The best years of my life. Don't regret anything. Finished! I've learned - Who needs enemies when you have family! 🏆🎉

    While listening I heard you perfectly describe the two narcissists in my life, an overt mother and a now deceased covert ex-girlfriend. This was particularly spot-on with the latter, a neglected housewife with whom I had a relationship for many years. I've learned that the affair followed the classic path for a covert narcissist: Love bombing, triangulation, the slow distancing and the discard. It's been over 30 years since the day I was tossed aside and it still hurts. Videos like this have helped me gain a better understanding of why narcissists do what they do. That, I suppose, is a step closer to healing. Good luck and healing to all.

I cleaned up the mess and called my mother to tell her what was really going on and thats how I finally got my mom to realize I was living with an insane person.

    I am a senior female living with a senior female family member. I've known her all her life and we were always close. That changed when she invited me to move in with her so I could financially enjoy retirement, as 2 can live cheaper, etc.
    It started slow at first but once I said something that she didn't like, it's been mental anguish for me ever since. She raged at me and hasn't spoken to me since. If I do ask a question the answer is always nasty. She treats me with no respect. You best believe if someone spoke to her that way, it would bring on some powerful rage.
    This has gone on for several months. Sometimes I feel like I'm losing my mind because I have no one to talk to about it.
    Two things in my favor though -
    I had an ex-boyfriend who was a total narcissist, so I could quickly assess this situation. Now when she does her passive aggressive mean things to me to get a reaction, I say nothing like nothing is wrong. I know that drives them crazy because they need that reaction, so it's a little enjoyment for me.
    The second thing I have going for me is I'm moving in 2 weeks.

    Jill- I can't thank you enough for your amazing information and facts about narcissism, especially about female narcissists. You have provided me with so much valuable information and validated the sadness, rejection, hatred, loss, betrayal, and so much more I have experienced from female narcissists and narcissists in general. Even though I have a masters education in clinical social work and 30 yrs experience as a professional clinician, and thought I had a thorough understanding of narcissism and how to recognize narcisstic behavior, I had not heard much about female narcs & the unique characteristics they display. Looking back, I recognize female bosses, friends, colleagues, & others, but the last person I suspected was a narcissist was the daughter I loved, and supported her entire life, even after her father and I divorced due to his desire to be w woman he was involved with and subsequently had another daughter with. He checked out of our son & daughter's lives for 15 years and I was committed to being there for them both, and sacrificing my own interests and desires for my kids, especially my daughter. She developed severe alcoholism for the 10 years following her dad leaving, and was absent from my life during this time. She eventually decided to quit drinking (or so she reports), but substituted it w heavy weed smoking, heavy use of vapes, & various prescription drugs, and I suspect she has also been using alcohol. She is very removed from my life and her grandma & brother. In 15 years, I have seen her possibly 20x, all brief, during times when she needed something & she was physically and emotionally distant and cut off from me. During the 1st ten years, I took her on several vacations, about 5x to Florida beachfront resorts, California, a sreamo concert, & annual birthday trips to Chicago to shop for new clothes and stay in a nice hotel. She never acted grateful for any of the trips, never thanked me, & I actually had to convince her to come on the last trip we took to Florida, bc I asked her to pay $200 towards airfare, bc she had an income and no responsibilities, and I was paying for everything, both for trip and everything else. After she was not drinking, & we had taken our last vacation, although I didn't know that then, she got involved with a guy who had been in prison for a drug related felony and then was arrested and sentenced to prison for child pornography and meth possession and manufacturing. She waited for him to be released a few yrs later, and saw a couple other guys I barely was allowed to see. Shortly after he was out of prison, she moved from the condo she had committed to live in with me, free, to a warehouse apt w the guy she waited for while he was in prison. During the 5 years she lived there, i saw her a handful of times, always for a short time, and never to spend quality time together. She would come to pick up food or something else I was giving her, or briefly on a holiday or birthday. She grew increasingly more distant and emotionally detached and spent considerable time with her bfs parents and family. When her brother was in town for a holiday, I began seeing the triangulation, and the 2 would always gang up against me for one reason or another, usually false accusations or my son telling me i was being hard on her. It was never enjoyable and they both seemed to hate me. Neither shared much about their lives w me, their dad & family were off limits and they seemed to prefer finding things to criticize or bully me about. I felt like a victim and nobody was in my corner. They had decided to quit doing the traditional things I had tried to continue, and had little to no love or affection towards me. They were nothing like other ppls adult kids and I had always tried to be a good parent and make up for their dads absence. I felt less important to them each time. About 18 months ago my daughter became very depressed and anorexic. She went to live w her dad who had a big house similar to the one she grew up in. She knew we didn't communicate, she began lying about him being w gf again or the time she spent with them. I hoped it would bring them closer and perhaps it has but she is consistently dishonest with me and so is her brother. They choose to accuse me of some wrongdoing, tell me I need help, swear at me, gaslighting primarily from my unhappy son, and manipulation, triangulation, and victimization from my daughter. Both were 90% or more estranged from me at this time but both angrily denied it. I couldn't win. And its only gotten worse.
    I didn't see any obvious indicators that my now ex husband had narcissistic tendencies for the majority of our 21 yr marriage. He always had a low tolerance for stress, likely due to his upbringing and their practice of not arguing or showing any significant conflicts. He did demonstrate a Jekyll and Hyde personality at times, especially when he was under work related stress or parenting conflicts, as well as disapproval of my actions or lack of his expectations. I didn't notice any narcissistic traits until the few yrs prior to him entering into an affair with a younger woman who had been flirtatious and aggressively pursuing him at a mid life crisis time and a period of minimal intimacy due to his verbal and emotional abuse towards myself and our son. He was increasingly more impatient and yelled more often. He was using alcohol more often and in larger amounts. He also became more secretive and worked out, purchased new clothes, spent more money that was not explained, spent more time away from home, and stayed out much later, and all night on occasion, claiming he didn't want to drive bc he had too much to drink. I was naive and didn't expect him to ask for divorce. Our kids were 15 & 18. But he was working with a major international corporation and held a high ranking position with a generous income and benefit package. And the status of being affiliated with the areas largest and most reputable companies. It was shortly after he started the job, I began seeing more signs consistent with narcissism. Before then, he was almost over emotional & teary at minimal things. He was also genuinely apologetic if he did something wrong or hurtful. He was always physically affectionate and nurturing & gave me compliments regularly. I feel he did what he had seen others do, vs it coming natural, but it seemed sincere. He was always the black sheep from his 2 brothers. I think the new prestigious job & young gf gave him more confidence & he felt more on their levels. Even so in the years preceding request for divorce, he had been making costly home improvements that didn't increase value & we were taking nice family vacations that weren't cheap, bought 3 rooms of nice, expensive new furniture,and an antique dining table we rarely used, and a piano basically for show, and bought me a brand new car 2 yrs before asking for divorce for my grad school graduation.
    Up until the divorce came up, I didn't believe he was narcisstic, but he showed his true colors as divorce went on,mostly about money matters. He even took me to an upscale fancy restaurant 2 mos after moving out of family home to celebrate our anniversary, & gave me a romantic sentimental card, & a wooden box with the inscription "youll always have my heart " & a little stuffed 🐖 pig, he knew was a favorite animal.????
    Guilt? But I understand narcs didn't feel guilty. A few yrs after the divorce & he was out of the picture, I began seeing more and more signs of our adult kids who had never shown characteristics of narcissism until now. It was always 2 against 1 when it came to me. My son defended my daughter at all costs. He was very into gaslighting me, making accusations, yelling and swearing at me, & total disrespect which I had never seen. My daughter was displaying mental health issues, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, rebellion, lying, substantial mood fluctuations not age appropriate, dating/sexual relations with abusive, unhealthy & she didn't generally have her bfs or even the friends, most of whom I knew around me, as if she was ashamed of me. We tried 3 therapists together to improve our relationship and communicate. My daughter would go once or twice & then fabricated excuses for not wanting to go back. When she finally agreed to counseling, she was living with her dad and she saw his therapist he had seen 2 yrs. I feel this was a conflict of interest but didn't object bc I wanted her to get tx and be better. But I see now that between her dad & his lifestyle and family and the therapist ,combined with unhealthy friends & ongoing substance abuse, along w possible isolation which I am unsure about its accuracy bc she lied & triangulates & her dad was not communicating. He has everything he wants and I have nothing and nobody. 😢 do you or anyone reading have any opinions or recommendations for me and the situation?? Idw to lose my kids but I feel i already have. 😢
    Does anyone have any idea why my ex is refusing to communicate? Or why at our retirement age 58, he chose to be w a younger woman who he had been on & off with multiple x over the years & she has a 4 yr old daughter w a different guy she had during one of breakups??
    I know its wishful thinking on my part,but I have never found anyone else who developed into a lt relationship and Ive never stopped loving my ex husband and wanting a new chance to make things right and make up for the 15 yrs we lost. We always wanted the same things in our retirement. Please help and forgive me for the novel!!🙄🙄🙄🙄

A good friend of hers comes over to the opposite side of big room and tells her about another woman they both know from school and university who had been bullying her and saying bad things about her. She listens for about 20 minutes and once her friend has left the room goes up to the bully and says i heard from a few people you been bullying jenny. Next thing thst happens 10min later is my girl friends friend come back into the room and this is this massive explosive argument in back corner and my girl friend has a huge grin on her face because she enjoyed creating the drama ..very two faced ..she is now a prominent lawyer and well regarded by many people is a good person but lets just say after going out for her for 18 months she is not as she appears she had many of other narc points.

Once there was a renovation of my sister-in-law's apartment where there was a complication in the middle of the process where some correction was to be done and I dared to comment that 'It is lucky that the issue emerged now during the renovation and not when the apartment is completely renovated.' I was naive as I wanted to raise attention that the issue was not a big deal since the apartment was being renovated, but my Mother-in-law's face turned cold and she got hurt by comment. My MIL is so protective of her daughter that thinks she is her extension. Yes, female narcissists are so sensitive that they get hurt and offended even for things that are indirectly connected to them such a renovation of the apartment. I thought that she may have been offended as with my comment I exposed that their territory was not perfect even under renovation. Really, you have to treat them like you treat dead people: either say only good things about them, never mention any issue or you better stay silent.

    I was in a relationship with what I believe is a covert narcissist. She pretty much showed all the behaviors of what narcissism is. However she is quiet and reserved to those that don’t really know her. I was addicted to her and she slowly drained my positive energy. I am currently detoxing right now. Fortunately, we did not live together or share any assets. It is easy for me to point my finger and blame her. But I must own my share. I have hired a coach, and I am currently going through the process of understanding what CPTSD is. I would probably categorize myself as a codependent. She crushed me with the lies and gaslighting.

    My mother is a narc, but also a selfless and sweet person at the same time. She was diagnosed with bpd when I was very young but she refused to take medication because she believed it was bs. I know that I definitely have narcissistic and bipolar tendencies just like my mother... I'm really trying to work on myself but it's so hard.

    • @pauladix5655
      @pauladix5655 3 дні тому

      Does she have bipolar or borderline personality disorder? Both get referred to as bpd although I think they renamed borderline to emotional dysregulation do or something which makes more sense. Was just going to say, meds are usually not super helpful for borderline, but YES for bipolar it's a must!!! Ppl don't like some of the common meds bc of negative side effects but they have come out w different ones. Sometimes it's trial & error & support groups/therapy are good for coping skills.
      With borderline, the best therapy tx is typically a technique called dialectical based therapy. Lots of x it's used in group settings which helps to normalize & cope with mood swings & other issues. CBT (COGNITIVE BEHAVIOR THERAPY) is used too but it's used for most conditions. There's also some great books & workbooks on borderline and bipolar as well as others. Mindfulness for depression is a good one. Good luck 👍

      @ma3alimezo82 hang in there. I'm in the same situation. Teo toddler daughters. Have been divorced for almost 2 years now. Multiple lies in court. Amongst one of her falsein court allegations against me was when she went as far as putting makeup on to stimulate that I beat her up and gave her a black eye. Since it was during Covid Lock down/ no contact/ everything via Zoom, she was able to fool the Social workers, Therapist's and Women's Advocacy groups that she was a victim of spousal abuse. They all showed up in court to testify on her behalf ! By the grace of the All Mighty, I was able to prove beyond doubt that did not happen. Despite her making a mockery of the court and judge, they did not hold her fully accountable aside for rewarding her about 1/4 of her monetary demands. Thankfully, custody is 50/50. 2 years on, she is still seething..... psychological campaign of abuse of our daughters ( trying to sow division between the sisters, telling one, she is much more beautiful than the other etc,) And og course trying to get the kids to hate their father. My advice to you, is to show your son by example. Give him your time and your UNCONDITIONAL love and support. Children are a lot more perceptive than we give them credit for. Despite how charming their Mother is, my daughters have noticed there is something "off" about what their mother spouts regarding their father.
      I realize my situation being 50/50 is a major blessing since it gives me an opportunity to counter her assaults on the children. Hand in there brother man.

    appreciated the mention of breaking boundaries... my ex used to go on my computer, read emails and conversations I was having with other people and even delete digital images of other women from my past. she knew my entire history and would "diagnose" or accuse me of things based on what she read on my social media going back more than 10 years before I met her. on the other hand, not only would I never do that to anyone else, but I simply dont care about anyone else's personal business. they are not my property. they are free to do whatever they want. it's funny because I would let me ex go away for the weekend with friends, meet male friends for dinner, have all the time she wanted with her family... but she would claim that I was controlling. meanwhile she would be suspicious if I was 5 minutes late and would always create a narrative that I was meeting with other women. she always wanted to know where I was, who I was with and showed jealousy when I would spend time with my family.

    I no longer speak to her. I've tried to have a relationship with her. Not delve into the past, but move forward!
    It’ll go well for about a week.
    Then she can't resist saying something rude or telling me what I should & should not do. She wants to talk on the phone, I don't , I prefer to text.
    Every time we speak on the phone, it goes south!
    I don't have a voice on the phone. She's not interested in anything I have to say. The entire conversation is about her. If I try to get a word in, forget it!
    She'll say, "Don't talk over me, I'm speaking right now!
    The only time in my life I could ever express myself & talk about things that are important to me. Is when I email or text her!
    Get this! Then she'll yell at me for sending lengthy emails & texts!
    She doesn't have time to read them. She's busy!
    She's retired!
    The last straw was when she told me I was trying to monopolize her time by sending longer texts or emails. 😆
    I told her to read a paragraph a day!
    She proceeded to tell me.
    She always knew I walked with Satan! 😳
    My mother is a beast! She'll never change because she can't stand me!

    She pitted my husband and I against each other for years and now she's trying to pit my own mother against me.
    We finally separated ourselves from her, and took ourselves out of the drama. My husband and I endured a whole lot of chaos in our household. Very painful.
    But we got through it. We've been married for 41 years. Our daughter is now 35. Our grandchildren have all sorts of emotional problems and there's nothing we can do.
    We had to let go for our emotional well-being. My heart goes out to everyone who has experienced this. My advice, do not place the guilt on yourself and beat yourself up. No one is perfect. But no one deserves abuse, especially if you are naturally a loving and kind person at heart.
