I was with a narcissist for 12 years. 19 to 33. I'm 54 now and it's been 21 years. One thing I can say for sure. If their absence brings you peace you did not lose them you have won yourself again

She really needs her own channel. Dr Ramani is so articulate.

My Dad was malignant narcissist. I was scapegoated as a child and still am by 4 siblings, but am becoming able to transition to truth teller at age 64! Thanks be to God.

Being or living with a narcissist is like having to fight your way to more freedom minute by minute. You often feel like you are fighting for the last little piece of turf, or for more air. You feel like you are suffocating in their presence. You feel like you are in a prison.

I could listen to this woman talk all day. Her signal-to-noise ratio is delightfully high. No weasel words, no null syllables, just confident information.

I have an aggressive bipolar narcissistic mother with no empathy and my father is a covert narcissist. Me being alive and okay is indeed a miracle.

I would say the first sign will come from your own gut feeling which will send signal to your body telling you that this person doesn't make you feel comfortable being around him/her. The fact that you are already asking this question should alert you to be careful. Something will feel off and you won't know what it is exactly. Covert narcissists can act very charming in the beginning but there will be often also present underlying sense of superiority about them. That sense is actually deriving from them feeling insecure about themselves, so they tend to quietly degrade others in order to feel better about themselves. On the other hand if covert narcissist feels that you are above his league, he will act like your servant, trying to please you - almost annoying in a way. But make no mistake. If you decide to stay in a relationship with him, he will downgrade you and abuse you like all the others. Because in his mind, if you love him, he thinks you are unworthy of him. Covert narcissists hate themselves so if someone loves them, than they think this person is worth less than them and that they can do better. Other sign to look for is any kind of judgment towards others. If he criticises other frequently, he will more likely criticise you as well once he gets more comfortable around you. Pay attention to how he treats people that are dependent on him as well. Narcissists hate those especially if they can't get anything of of that for themselves. Moreover, Cheating in marriages is not restricted to only men. Women cheat as much as men do. If you're suspecting your wife of infidelity, you'll have to keep an eye on her of her without her knowledge of her. One of the best ways to know if your spouse cheats on social platforms is by paying close attention to how your spouse behaves while online. The signs are pretty the same. Is your spouse more time on the app without explanation and gets unnecessarily defensive when you ask about it? If your spouse behavior has changed lately, and continues to spend more time on social apps, it's time for you to take action, with the help of a private investigator (suggested; METASPYHUB@GMAIL. COM , you can find out what is taking all their time on social apps, who they are talking to and other things happening,,

The communal narcissist never does those “charitable”things when no one is there to witness it.

I initially thought I was a narcissist, maybe a mix of covert and communal, my ex used to keep telling me I was a narcissist so I blamed myself but this video changed my views, no I am not a narcissist, I am a human, an empathetic giving human who takes accountability for their actions, who knows when I did something wrong and I need to make it right, I feel immensely guilty for hurting others and I give and give and give and only expect a little respect and love from the other person and isn't expecting love in return is what a normal human expects... No way I am a narcissist.... First my father then my bf of two years kept making me feel how I was not good enough.... I am tired of narcissists making me feel I am insufficient... Thank you dr. Ramani.... Knowledge does make one powerful!

My parents are both narcissists. My father is a malignant narcissist and my mom is a covert narcissist. What a couple. It’s a nightmare to live with them. I had to be my own parent because they would only care about themselves. I had to be a dad and a mom to my siblings. When we all finished college by working part time, we moved out and got jobs. Lo and behold, they both demanded half of our salaries because they endured raising us. Wow. We cut ties with them and helped our grandparents instead. We’re all worried that we might become narcissist like them but we’re thankful we’re not. It’s so hard but we’re so glad we survived.

I just left a relationship with a narcissist and am beginning to heal and learn from this, these videos have opened my eyes and are making me understand why this happened with me.

What a beautiful and intelligent woman she is. You can tell how excited she is to talk about something she's super knowledgeable about.

i was w a covert narcissist for only two years and let me tell you, DONT SECOND GUESS THE RED FLAGS. its not worth it man

I’m a licensed psychologist. This woman is Spot On. I’d love to see more of her.

My spouse accused me of being a covert narcissist. I took her accusation seriously and started reading about it. I also suggested to my spouse that we go a marriage therapist to discuss my narcissism openly and get feedback from a professional. She refused. So I started seeing a therapist on my own. We have now been meeting for several months. I sincerely want to understand if indeed I am a narcissist, and if so, where it came from and what I can do about it. The therapy session included a test for covert narcissism. While these types of tests are less than perfect, the test indicated that I was above average for covert narcissism but within the normal range. According to my therapist, nearly everyone carries some some elements of covert narcissism but it can range from nearly nonexistent to extreme. So far, based on the testing and my therapists input, my narcissistic tendencies appear to not be abnormal and not dysfunctional. But I will continue to work with my therapist to try to become more aware of any narcissistic tendencies and to develop ways to eliminate or minimize them. This isn't easy but I am trying my best. I just wish my spouse would be willing to discuss her perceptions with me, and maybe the therapist as well, so I could better understand her experiences and how I may be triggering them. But anytime I ask to discuss it, she just becomes angry and refuses to engage.
