  • My therapist told me that if my ex husband really loved me, why would he physically emotionally and psychologically abuse me? And that’s the moment I knew this was all a power game to him. Narcissists aren’t capable of love. They take and take until there’s nothing left. 4 days free. Pray for me.
  • They will never accept responsibility for their part of the breakup ! Anything they did wrong is because of something you did ! Even though you didn’t do it !
  • @zelik654
    When she said “ narcissists make the other partner look crazy when they go to therapists or talk in front of others” - I felt that.
  • @MidnhtCrzr
    Narcissists don't like others for who they are. They only like the things that others do for them.
  • That doggo is sleeping so well. I'm kinda envious. Doggo has no trauma, nor worries.
  • tip: when they admit they're a narcissist and tell you that you deserve better, PLEASE believe them
  • @lemons2135
    The thing that resonates the most, is the making you look like the bad one. They chip, chip, chip away until you literally break. Then they call you crazy.
  • @crsh2007
    “Narcissists don’t like to be left”, yet THEY’RE the ones discarding people and ruining the relationships. It’s so twisted! Like, who has all that time and energy to go out and do all that???
  • They replace you before you leave. They have a line of takers on the back burner just waiting for the day that you decide to have boundaries and "abandon them" even though they've already abandoned you.
  • @purplelocs711
    This video helped me decide to end my relationship with a narcissistic-alcoholic with extreme anger issues. I love me more 💜
  • @ceboshembe
    Once you realize and accept that they'll never change ever, you are halfway there.

    Left 6 days ago. Gathered my things quietly and got out after 4 years of marriage and a 7 year relationship. My heart goes out to anyone who is going through this 💔
  • @halia7727
    I just left my narcissistic relationship of 8 years. This relationship consisted of him cheating, lying, emotional/physical abuse - there was point during our relationship where he would refer to me as a dog and say he needed to train me to be more obedient. Not even 10 minutes after we broke up he had another date set up. I’m one day free and although I’m heartbroken and sad I’m finally realizing that this next girl is only gonna go through exactly what I went through. Good luck to her I guess.

    My couples therapist actually started siding with my narcissistic partner, and they made me feel crazy. The more I cried, the more I looked unstable. I remember that day vividly, and sadly, I think about it occasionally, which makes me realize how manipulative this person is. We share a child, and he is about to become a lawyer. I fear ending up like Betty from "Dirty John". Wish me luck, guys. I'm planning my way out.

    The reality is: anxiety, depression, smoking, isolation, eating disorders, panick attacks, distrust from your family and friends, lack of goals, low self steem, not recognizing yourself, feelings of betrayal, lies, stress, insomnia, skin problems, hearing all the time from outsiders" love yourself", anger, sadness, bags under the eyes, high blood pressure..and tbe worst " failing to the own self . Many of us hide it in order to look " normal" to others while the pain is inside eating the immune system..if you are ready to run: Run for your sanity asp , dont look back, its not about loving yourself cliche. Its about saving your sanity, your mental health. Run far away .
  • I just left my narcissist boyfriend today after he did me so dirty. Im going through a very bad breakup. Please pray for me. I just feel hopeless and ready to end it all😔😢
  • @eiehe93-
    Thank you for your videos. With an Overt Narcissist first he may make promises to change then when that does not work, aggression, and physical violence. He will try to get you back under his control by any means necessary. You are his property no matter how many times he has cheated and left you. I had to leave the state making it more difficult for him to have access to me. This narc traveled to where I was living 5 states away and tried to drag me back cave man style. I have read that the lesser narcissist has poor cognitive function and low impulse control. Some are even capable of rape when they suffer a narcissistic injury. While I believe all narcissist can lash out violently when enraged and suffering from a narcissistic injury it is even more so with the lesser. My experience with this narcissist was even if we separated and he had moved on with a new supply source he would still come around to make sure I was not seeing anyone. If I happened to start dating he became violent even when he was engaged with someone new. Most narcissist when they are love bombing a new supply source will not want the one they discarded in the picture at least in the beginning of his new relationship. If they are engaged with a new supply source and still Hoovering you for fuel they have a sadistic streak. This narcissist cheated throughout the entire marriage. He engaged in triangulation with his first wife. She was a constant in our marriage until her suicide. The Covert Narcissist may try to come back after they have been involved in a few relationships which did not work out. When they try to come back they are low on supply and suffering from depression because of a loss of narcissistic supply. They love to tell you about the relationships they have been in and now they are smearing the person they left you for. They may tell you the person they have been in a relationship with has been abusing them. The Covert may apologize for all his past transgressions and the way he discarded you. He will have an excuse as to why he was so abusive and cruel at the end. It can play with your mind wondering if he is truly sorry. He can even have tears. You have to remember the tears are for himself. He is down and out with no available supply source. You must remember how he was at the end when he discarded you and the mask came completely off. He will seem desperate to keep you around as the Hoover takes place. And he is desperate for narcissistic supply. This is a midrange narcissist I’m talking about here and although very capable of violence he needs to put on a good show to convince you he really is a good person. This narcissist really does believe he is a good person and needs others to see him as such. If you see through this narcissist and don’t buy his story he may leave you alone. He will slink away like the snake that he is in search of new supply sources. Narcissist don’t like to waste their energy and when he sees you are not buying into it he is forced to search out new supply sources. I say forced because it is life or death to him to keep the false construct in place. In order to keep the false self in place he needs narcissistic supply. He needs the admiration of others or he ceases to exist. When you no longer buy the lie he will move on. Covert Narcissist do not display the open grandiosity of the Overt. While the Overt seems full of confidence the Covert lacks self esteem. The Covert will use a lot of pity plays working on your sympathetic nature. He wants you to feel sorry for him. The Covert is a coward. In any case Overt or Covert they suffer a narcissistic injury when they are rejected by an ex. They think they own you for life. In both cases I left the state when my marriages ended:) Additionally there is no way you can be too sure that your spouse isn’t cheating behind your back. The only way you can be sure if your spouse is cheating on you or not is “TO FIND OUT“. Get to find out about a cheating spouse with evidence to prove it by spying their mobile and thereafter gaining access to all the things they might have been hiding away from you. If you need to find out about a cheating spouse; send a request to: Metaspyhub@gmail. com

    This woman knows her stuff. It's insane how spot on she is. Narcissists are almost textbook predictable
