      To overcome that anger it took me 3x the time the relationship itself lasted! Imagine this equasion with your mum or nan or dad or sis!...

      I absolutely agree! After 38 yrs, my paramedic ex knows my chronic asthma, eczema, spinal injuries due to years of gymnastics and karate etc and before I got the police to him, woke me up and told me I'd done it now. I was going to come to a sad end and he'd make sure. Put off of the property, he has his new woman, health to work (I became too ill to work so he left me) and he won't help me pack all of the stuff in the house, knows I can't lift a coffee cup with left side, can't move scaffold or timber. My 2 yr divorce is up 2.8.24 and then he's taken so long to answer lawyers and ignore me that the judge can now put me out.
      Hes been an adulterer, controlled my teachers wages, holidayed eith other women the whole marriage. Ive lost everything and I'm attending the psych hospital for counselling. A rotten vile person. I'm glad I've lost him but he's bad! Damaged from childhood. He's like a child throwing the Teddy out and everything Richard has said -and he doesn't even know me- is true....they get much worse toward you when they end it with you. You're right. It's not normal fir someone to want to be so cruel.

      @@Lion-rf8xi but once you are in a place to figure it all out you can put thst aside and start working out what you need to fix your bad brain and fancy new corrupted programming. That's where I am now. Won't say its easy but you learn what they are, why and how, and you can stop thinking about that stuff. I do think it's important to get the number of the truck that hit you as long you don't stay there and get stuck thinking about it. Part of what is lonely-making is that no one will get it and you know why, they behave snd think so ass backward to those of us who aren't twisted like that. That said I needed to understand also because I came out of it fractured and a bit narccy, a thing I came to understand from Mr Grannon. Was healing but like a broken bone not set.

    I hope someone reads this. Your entire LIFE will (not may) be destroyed if you enter into, and remain, in any relationship with a Narcissist. When my ex-narc’s mask fell off on New Year’s Eve, my life totally changed and the abuse intensified 100 fold. I made the tragic mistake of taking him back after a tearful apology. It got worse. He strangled me and almost killed me. 4 weeks later he trashed my house after I told him the relationship was over. He refused to leave my house so I called the cops to take him out. I haven’t seen or heard from him since. I blocked him all around and cut off all possible lines of communication. It has taken me MONTHS to heal, and I was almost in financial ruin bc of him. Take head, the narc’s primary goal is to destroy you. Stay strong and don’t let them win this spiritual warfare. Thank god I was strong enough to rescue myself and get out of this massively toxic and dangerous situation.

    The worst part is that they mess with your head and you end up being so defeated that you can't see a way out because you can't think logically. You are also so disempowered and guilt ridden and your confidence has been eroded so much that you simply don't think that you will be able to leave. 10 years in narc marriage and 15 years in mega toxic workplace with narcs. Eventually escaped from both but it took YEARS to find the courage to leave and even longer to get to a place of healing where I can start seeing the sunshine again.

Counting down the days. The prospect of a healthy escape- not the self destructive escape I’ve lived for too long- keeps me somewhat sane. I did stupid things to emotionally survive. I thought if I made myself stupider -literally-by doing things I won’t say, I could endure. Lost my identity. Became a ghost to myself. Invisible. 😢 I’m not special. There is nothing but pain NOTHING BUT PAIN in a toxic relationship. Thank you Richard. You have been my only friend in the darkest of days these past few years.

It never felt good but I just accepted that there's something wrong with me as for the reason that I was the "one" their darts were aimed at. In the workplace , I am a NPD magnet it seems. It's draining mentally, having people attack you for no reason. All you're doing is being kind and respectful..What you get in return is ridicule, humiliation,and horrible smear campaigns that make you feel hopeless because you can't defend yourself.

    Being an audiophile, I have developed a deep appreciation over the course of six decades for quality input of information. What started early in life as a love of music became integrated into a larger perception of the beauty of truth. Purity of truth resonating internally with the god-like mind has become my primary focus and dare I say it, an addiction. At this juncture of my time here I see now the key is in three things. Radical acceptance, forgiveness and gratitude. I believe it was Socrates who said the truly intelligent person understands he knows nothing. We can always have a higher level of understanding of the things we think we already understand. That being said I always appreciate the time and effort you put into your endeavor here Richard.

    I witnessed pure evil in the narcissist I was dealing with I even said something about him being human and he immediately let me know that he was not human he said he came from the sun, he was perfectly serious. Being a empath I felt there was no love and no compassion in this person, I also had a vision of flames. I was truly dealing with a demon.

    I have free floating anxiety with a Sociopath... yes, he wants me to experience suffering constantly. He's told me this, and that he's going to exact revenge' because I asked one question about finances. The sentence contained about 15 delicately and much thought over words, expressed in a humbled manner. I had to ask the question as it affected my disabled daughters future security.

    Sometimes the nature of evil is so deceptive it's not evil in the traditional sense....and it can & will break you/tear you down when you need & others need you at the top of your game...just to target the vulnerable, they like low hanging fruit & easy targets & if I think about that " floppy moral boundaries" become more rigid pretty fast. Because the low hanging fruit are the vulnerable our constitution/laws attempt to protect. It's really serious. Thanks for slap upright Richard 🧡

    "free floating anxiety... sense of dread and confusion... " exactly this! all the time. "that you will have lost something you cannot ever regain". These feelings nail it. I drove myself mad for years trying to earn the attention back, to figure what I had done wrong to be discarded, the grief of silent treatments sent me to a break down, I believed for years I was the loser reject, and it was only when I extracted (with help from non narc friends) that I saw the person I was inside the narc dynamic was not even my true self. I went through so long wondering who the hell I am, what do I even like to do or think? what are my own thoughts? Please see Richard's talks with Mark Vicente (and his ideas on splitting your personality), the interviews with Vicente are spot on, the most relief I have felt in years. Thankful for you, Richard and anyone reading this, please don't give up on yourself, you are not crazy, if you are here, you're in company of ones like you, You are not alone ! x

  • @morgana4075

    I would say, due to my admittedly low self-worth, that I always felt my partner had this 'evil', but I was a bit blinded to it when it came to myself. It wasn't until I witnessed how he treated others that I fully understood it.. aggressive (scary) road rage, throwing tantrums in the supermarket (so loud that people would stare.. it was mortifying).. throwing years-long friends away over something little.. telling me he made his own mother cry because "she cooked my hamburger wrong."
    If you can't first-hand accept the 'evil' of these people... pay attention to how they treat others.

    The concept of keeping a standard of moral relativism was really helpful. It’s so maddening the blaming and circular reasoning and just trying to jump off that horror-go-round when you can’t get your footing.
    The manliness and confidence and rule breaking too. Definitely sucked me in. We started talking romantically just as the Pandy started. It felt safe to be with him then. It feels considerably less safe four years in when all of the supports have been kicked out from under me as fast as I can build them…it’s about as fun and comforting as a carnival in an earthquake…

    Born in a partially narzissistic family, I repeated the whole thing over and over again. I endet up broke and broken again and again. But I got up again and again - just to stumble into the same thing again. When it comes to the perception of evil, there is this one thing, that I keep repeating: I just can't believe how bad it is, until it is proven to me. My mind just cannot accept how evil "loved ones" can get. Interestingly enough I react quite clear, when I perceive someone else in a toxic situation and I sure can be of help, if someone wants to be helped. But for myself I keep repeating this disbelieve and the impression, that I overreact at times. Well, overreaction may happen, when someone REALLY wants to destroy, if not kill you, right? It is such a weird feeling. Got pretty old that way and always got out in time. But I wouldn't recommend anyone to do the same thing. It is really dangerous - believe it or not. The good thing about it is: you gain a lot of experience about how hypnosis works in yourself and how to use it in order to survive. Best regards from Germany and thanks for your work!

    In regards to the repetition thing, before I became more healed, I didn’t realize, my response to childhood trauma was I didn’t carry myself with confidence and, frankly, I was a bit weird with social awkwardness so healthier people weren’t attracted to me, but I was prime narc bait. I would go years between caustic boyfriends to heal up. I would get lonely and even though on some level I knew the new guy presenting himself to me wasn’t a good fit, I would date him anyway to not be lonely. I was pretty much invisible to the “normal” folk.
    Once I healed up some more and gained some. Self esteem and self worth and became okay being alone, I present more healed which brought healed people into my life. Also, because I was finally at peace being alone, I was able to say, “No” to narcs who showed up and didn’t try to cure some kind of bone crushing loneliness.
    I’m 57. It took me 30 plus years to finally see I was a narc magnet because of me. It wasn’t some kind of curse or rough magic.

    That mixed bag of why the Narcissist is still in my life. Yes, I'm scared of the consequences if I cut him off. I'm also scared of what I will lose. But is he evil. Yes, most definitely. He is like his Master, Satan, who has the ability to keep transforming himself into an Angel of light. I feel only God can help me to be free of him completely. And that's what I'm praying for. Before recent times, I was financially dependent upon him. He was well aware of this, and monopolized on it. Educating myself with videos like this one have helped me so much on my journey to finally be free. And not just off him but of others in the future. I have been a Narc magnet in the past, unfortunately. The comment below is helpful I always needed validation of others, and that's where the Narcissist came in with 'love bombing'. I'm learning not to not need validation from any other person, but fully realize that my validation comes from God and Faith in Christ.
