  • Don't underestimate the value of a covert narc keeping you off-balance. It makes everything harder for you.

    My best friend's sister is toxic. We were at a dinner party and she became very dominant toward me while exhibiting false sympathy for "something we both have." (A big birthday coming up.) She made two assumptions. One that I was her age, and two that nobody could see through her tactics to humiliate me. I turned it back on her while using humour and deliberately being vague and not answering her pointed questions. Everyone laughed and best friend's husband quickly turned the conversation. She hasn't tried anything since (it's been 11 years) Bullies don't like strong targets.

    I pay attention to how my body reacts to a person. If a person makes me uncomfortable for any reason then I wonā€™t open up to them. I will keep an eye on them until I know why. Yes, if I get a feeling right away that I donā€™t trust someone then I will remain cautious around them.

    ā€œMIRROR THEIR STANCEā€: ā€œWeā€™re not so different, Mr. Powers; except that you stand for good, and I, evil!ā€

    I'm totally fed up with these parasitic entities. I have experienced and lived these creatures and with the help of these informative video's I'm able to recognize them very early on! Thank you. Unfortunately, empaths fist have to experience these creatures in order to understand they are real! Teenagers aren't told these basics in psychology at school and there's a reason for that: humanity is controlled by power hungry parasites.

    In my experience Iā€™ve noticed a narcissist doesnā€™t respond to yawns like most people do. When most people see someone yawn they canā€™t help but yawn as well, where a narcissist doesnā€™t even notice.

    The reason I fell for a narc was precisely because his body language told me he loved me. I realised that he talked strange things early, but I told myself, well the body can't lie. He was always so open towards me. But the truth is, it can lie. So, don't think you can interpret body language easily. That is dangerous
  • I'll never forget the gut feelings I got right before the narc discarded me. I went up and gave them a hug and it felt like an electric shock. I could literally feel in my body that they didn't want me to hug them and the hidden contempt they had for me. Even though I was on guard from that moment on, it still wasn't enough to save me from the painful gaslighting discard. I wonder how the narc felt when they sent me a heartfelt letter saying I was a good friend and that they made a mistake and they were wrong, admitting to a mental problem they now have, and asking me to talk to them again. They got no response. I'll never speak to someone again who was so willing to hurt me because they wanted what they wanted.

    Itā€™s a tricky one, because remember, concerning ā€˜body languageā€™ and eye contact.. it could feel ā€˜wrongā€™ or awkward.. but they might be autistic not narcissisticā€¦ some huge struggles with body language and eye contact or ways of self expression with people on the autism spectrum!!..
  • 4:13 I am a Licensed Massage Therapist of 10 years and I have several clients that fit these descriptions exactly. One young lady in particular comes into my dimly-lit room with warm scents in the air, soft calming music and her presence is like a tornado coming through a China shop. Her voice is incredibly LOUD. Her movements with her arms and hands are WILD and dramatic; waving all over the place. She gets in my space while speaking loud and leaves little room for me to.speak back. I have worked with her for 3 years and my gut feels uneasy and discouraged just knowing she's coming in for a session. It's never changed. She's an emotional and energetic drain every single time.

    This technique will be nearly impossible to apply in real conversation unless you have the other person recorded. Conversations are very engaging for me. I'm a very good listener. I cannot imagine instead of listening to the other person, I calculate how they blink and how I blink. If the other person doesn't even notice my mental "absence", that in itself will be a red flat.
  • @Ellael98
    There are also people with autism who have a hard time keeping eye contact and then start to stare for a while etc. I find it a bit difficult to figure out if someoneā€™s a narc just by blinking patterns etc, because there are so many other mental illnesses that cause similar behavior, or?

    I just can't get over how much you look like Julia Duffy from the sitcom Newhart in the 80s.
  • So true always feel uneasy , ā€œknot in stomach ā€œ or just off when around or talking to a narcissist! Covert is much different but your instincts will never lie!
  • @maa306
    my ex always blinks his eyes like up and up. My stomach hurts being around narcissist, that was a sign.
  • Thankyou for making these videos. You are pleasent and dignified. I know you went through quite the journey to get where you are and I want to encourage you because it is so helpful.

    Thank you Meadow, I come in contact with many people throughout the day. I think your advice is perfect for when their is a potential relationship in the making, whether personal or business. Recognizing narcissism is like a jigsaw puzzle. The first piece doesn't reveal the picture. But over time with each piece, the picture becomes clear, whether you have a beautiful picture or a monster. Sometimes it doesn't take many pieces to see what you have. Thank you for your YouTube channel. I always learn something new. šŸ˜ƒšŸ™
