Narcissists can completely ruin your life and your self-esteem. The lack of empathy is the scary part. It is difficult to describe unless you’ve been through it.
True they can ruin someones life. The best thing is not to allow them, i have a narc mother and i totally refused her to ruin my life, the best way to deal with a narc is to ensure that they know who they are and describe to them their wicked characters, they really feel ashamed although they don't change and they are not sorry for anything at all.
Dr. Ramani is the Bomb! She is tirelessly bringing much needed awareness to this societal menace of Narcissism. Thousands have testified that she has saved their life.
@@rita5466 Okay and what are the better resources? And who did she plagiarised? Just curious cause narcissism is on a spectrum, all the therapist/counselors and psychiatrists will reveal all types of narcissism in the same way Dr. Ramani does.
She saved me for sure. 2 years ago, I was suicidal. I saw some of her videos that opened my eyes. I started therapy along with continuing to watch her videos. I'm currently getting my ducks in a row to get out of this marriage. The best part is, he doesn't even see it coming. He thinks I'm too weak to leave him. I hope I get to see his face when he's served the divorce papers. Thank you, Dr. Ramani!!❤
Was your first bully your mother? Did she recruit willing siblings and relatives to attack you like flying enablers? You might have had a mother on the narc spectrum.
No not at all it is not a prison sentence unless you yourself allow it to be. I have a very toxic Narcissist mother but i totally refused her pathetic character to ruin my life, coz indeed they do ruin someones life and they will infact be very happy to see someone life ruined.
True they need to be exposed with no remorse. I face my mother head on about her narcissistic characters and i expose it to everyone and i don't fear a thing coz narcs like it when they are being feared but i am a tough one no fear at all and i vowed never to let her ruin my life coz if given the chance they destroy your life and feel nothing about it they are worse than animals
Dr. Ramani is a very special person. She literally saves lives. She has saved my life. After 45 years of not understanding what “I” was doing wrong and trying to be the perfect person, Dr. Ramani said the correct words and the lightbulb went on in my head. You can never win the “game” either as with a narcissist the goal post is forever changing. The gaslighting is real and you never remember things “correctly”. It’s always your fault no matter what the situation is. Remember this. They are never wrong. They will never ever apologize for ANYTHING they have done, regardless of the amount of damage it has caused. Then when that isn’t enough, the stories and lies they tell others about you is baffling. It cuts deep but now I’m learning that if these other people believe this made up stuff about you, they didn’t know you very well AND the reason they don’t defend you is more so that they don’t want to be the next victim in the narcissist world…Dr. Ramani calls these people the “flying monkeys”. When you have been a victim and you can look at it from this perspective it’s so crystal clear. Walk away and save yourself. Have peace in your life.
Not everyone will agree a narcissist is a narcissist and support the narcissist. That’s something I’d like to see discussed more as it’s equally damaging as the narcissist and their behaviour towards others.
This lady helped me to wake up to my life over the Internet on TH-cam. My life was in a shambles and she helped me figure it out. I love her. Best wishes Dr. Ramani and thank you.
With respect it can be difficult for someone who is being subject to coercive control or/and violence. Especially if they have other vulnerable dependant people such as children or disabled relatives to take care of.
Very true that they hate that but because narcissists can’t change…they can’t become better people or treat you better or even decent…it’s best to get completely away from them and never be around them again if that’s possible. But I did what you said when I was married to my narcissist husband….and then I divorced him to get away from him because the abuse just never stops. I also ignored him during the divorce battle….because he battled and tried to prevent it…and I never acknowledged his existence…would look right past him and pretend he wasn’t there….because the second they know you look at them they think that means you still want them and keep bothering you.
I understand. Because its the one relationship everyone else (and even you initially ) assumes that they will always have your best interest at heart but they are actually actively working to destroy you
My mother is a narcissist. Not only was she mentally, but she was physically abusive to me, growing up. It’s been the biggest heartbreak of my life. I was always trying to her. But it was never enough. And because she runs the show, all of the family members fall in line. If I want to have a relationshipor see my sister and my niece and nephew at Christmas time I have to go to my mother’s house. It Causes me such great anxiety.
There are also plenty of narcissists who fake empathy to the rest of the world, but behind closed doors, they are abusive. The person or persons they're being abusive towards only saw the fake empathy in the beginning.
Oh you’re describing my husband 😂😂😂😂 he’s a hands on dad in public, but behind closed doors he’s a crappy lazy father who won’t lift a finger at home to help out around the house.
You can often see through the act though if you are self aware. Many people are not a fall for it. Little cues will give it away. When I met one narc whose stalking me now, first thing he would ask is where you went to school because he wanted to tell everyone he went to Cornell, he would bribe regular hospital staff with cookies to do his work faster, he would interrupt conversations; whine about everything on the planet, and most importantly have this weird bizarre death stare.
@@pennytrue2741 that weird dead stir is a give away of who they are most Narcissistic do that. If u look closely u will see they are empty. They try to observe and mimic people's personality bcos they don't have one and don't know how to function so they ask those questions u mentioned and copy your personality at the same time covering their emptiness and inadequacies
@@pennytrue2741be careful if he is stucking they are dangerous people with no heart or emotion. You need to run! If he knows ur address u have to move
Narcissism is the inability to generate or regulate your self worth. It has to come from the reaction of OTHER PEOPLE. Admiration and devaulation of others - and watching for their reaction. Well done Dr. R.
Yep. Narcissists are always looking for validation. Apart from Dr. Ramani, another person I follow on TH-cam is Dr. Les Carter. He has a channel called Surviving Narcissism and he offers a lot of insights and tips. I have learned so much from him.
My now ex-husband (after 23 years) is a master at future-faking. I had no idea what it was and thought I was literally going insane for years. He's the covert passive-aggressive narcissist, so not the boisterous type, but just as dangerous and damaging. Dr. Ramani is amazing!!
They are! I didn't know what it was until I started researching what I was experiencing. After weeks of research, I finally realized I wasn't going insane after all.@@marywenzel3199
@@godzillamanstreb524 Many thanks. I am enjoying me, my husband lives separately. My personal answer is to have my own home! Having homes separately really makes a difference.
Dr.Ramani opened my eyes to the patterns of antagonistic behaviour in my marriage 4 years ago in her book Should I Stay or Should I Go. It's Not You deserves every accolade for the validation and compassion it gives to empathic people healing from narcissistic relationships. ❤
I preordered this book. I'm half way thru after only one day because it's so well written. It covers so much and is full of good information. Dr. Ramani is truly the expert!!!
I was raised by a narc father with awful repercussions. I just “woke up” recently at age 41 - while watching one of Dr. Ramani’s many videos by the way. Struck me on a super deep level.
Two narcissists in my immediate family! 🫨 Narcissism is the only survival mechanism for these people. They never learned how to navigate through life without it. Best thing to do is not to let them push your buttons and put up boundaries. They will hate both of those things.
I love her! After reading/listening to Dr. Ramani she changed my life. My oldest daughter is a narcissist and it gets so hard. I will always love her but I had to step back from her. It can be mentally exhausting.😞
Here to say I got her book and also to encourage everyone to do so!!! ❤ Dr. Ramani is a guardian angel for us folks who've been enduring narcissistic abuse at the hands of the narcissist in our lives and she's changed so many lives with her wisdom and kindness towards others. 💝
I thank God Almighty for bringing this topic to light to so many. I suffered for years and always being made to feel like it’s something wrong with me mentally. I had no clue what I was experiencing or even about the word NARCISSIST. I went from a narcissistic mother to a narcissistic boyfriend. Just living out patterns. Damaged my mental so bad. I became the worse version of myself and believed everything the narcissists in my life told me. I’m currently recovering and just praying to God that one day I feel better. These personality types can leave a dark hole inside that feels impossible to get out but I know I got this. Thank God for the awareness!
Dr Ramani is one of the best in the business of understanding and helping people understand these demons. Get out of this relationship and run not walk away from these type of people. Your very life depends on it.
Most are very mentally abusive and some are both mentally and physically abusive. And very important to remember…there’s no cure or “fix” or medication these people can take to get better…they don’t change because of a tragedy…they don’t learn their lesson…they will always be the same and treat you and everyone else the same bad way. My ex-husband used to even use other people’s tragedies to gain attention and sympathy for himself…he didn’t even care that his friend lost a child…he just used that to get attention for himself…even from the friend that lost the child. They are so twisted and manipulative that they can work people that way. Both of my children with him told him to never contact them again after they turned 18…their 18th birthdays were very freeing for them to finally get him out of their lives…and they hated the court system that forced them to visit him before they turned 18….it’s sad that children and teen minors can’t choose for themselves whether to see a parent or not.
En mi experiencia diría que 6 narcisistas por 1 no narcisistas. ¿Quizás hay algún estudio de relaciones de familia que se puedan revisar y se encuentre más narcisista de lo la encuesta presenta.
@@lourdespagan2565 I grew up with wide family narcistis circle. As the bible says it take 3 generations...Narcissam thrives in denial. Most of my close and wide families is in denial and work environment too. Denial of toxic and abusive behaviour.
I love Dr. Ramani! Her shared knowledge has helped me immensely in navigating my way out of a narc relationship and moving forward in the healing process. She's a Godsend to the victims of narc abuse. 🙏
Dr Ramani's channel has helped me heal and empower myself in ways I can't even explain. She offers explanations but also practical advice that a person can apply immediately to bring change. Thank you Dr Ramani.
We RARELY see personality disorders in therapy because they're "not the one with the problem." If they do, they manipulate the session. Most ppl say "leave them!" but what if they're your family? Victims need to strengthen their core beliefs through a good therapist for healing. Using a journal will help them by recording what happened for themselves to discern fact vs fiction. Leaving is a very individual decision. Helping you remember your worth and identity is essential. ❤
It is hilarious that this pops up on my feed today. I am convinced that my sister needs psychiatric help like yesterday. Thanks for shining a light on just how much of a narcissist she is - she ticks every box that you mentioned. Add in controlling and a bully and we’ve hit the jackpot. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 She is literally bad for my health - blood pressure up and the sense of dread whenever I saw her name on my phone. THANK GOD FOR BLOCK CONTACT.
a narcissist will NEVER look at themselves or better themselves. never take responsibility for their own actions or behavior, and never will, therefore any sort of therapy is a joke.
@@bkirstie my point is the realization that it really isn’t me. She is the nut job and it is helpful to hear someone completely independent shine a light on the situation. For a long time, there was a tiny doubt in my mind that maybe I am in the wrong. Not anymore
Dr. Ramani is God sent when it comes to identifying and understanding narcissisism! Her videos have helped me so much and I’m definitely getting her book! Thank you Dr!!❤🙏🏻
Dr. Ramani is a the best!! I have a now former 'best friend' who would become abusive when she didn't get her way and Dr. Ramani, through her YT channel, has really helped me step away from in a healthy and empowering way.
I am reading the book now and love Dr Ramani, I am a bit concerned though that many people will look at the selfish people in their lives and label them as narcissists. I know Hoda and Jenna addressed this, and I know that some professionals consider narcissism to be a spectrum, with people exhibiting more or fewer traits, but it’s important to note that true narcissists (those diagnosed with NPD, Narcissistic Personality Disorder) have created a delusional self, more than likely in response to childhood trauma. Narcissists aren’t merely arrogant, they are compensating for a deep insecurity. It’s a sad state of being. I think it’s important not to label every @$$h**l in your life as a narcissist.
Finally , we need more info .. hopefully Hoda will think of all the older woman ,in a terrible marriage, all the jung girls ,who raised , the Man is always right you all DO NOT HAVE TO PUT UP W THIS..!! I was raised by one, married one,--' now in my 60th.. I try to just live ... how sad ..!
YES!YES! YES! You do everything for them & your miserable,you have to move on it's hard but you can I have been free for years.They will always try to compisate there behavior to justify it don't take the bait be strong break the cycle it will always be about THEM!!!
Love Dr.Ramani I can relate & I went to a family funeral recently for my Aunt & let's just say the Daughter-in-law was happy while everyone else was in tears & grieving. I haven't seen my cousin or her in 15-20 years.
Dr. Ramani is such a powerful force in shedding light on the horrendous behaviour of narcissists and how to navigate the trecherous waters of narcissistic systems and working towards healing! Thank you for caring Dr. Ramani and congrats on your new book! I hope its a best seller for all of our sakes🤣
Dr. Ramani thank you , thank you for exposing these horrible people. We all know at least 3 of these people in our life time. We need the words to use against them. I am simply writing mine off but she needs her supply and so keeps coming back. I am going to choose the letter format so I can choose my words carefully and not forget the important issues. This will be a good reference for her when she has no one left.
Narcisismo debería ser considerado un crimen emocional. Llevo 37 años lidiando con familiares con características narcisistas y el daño ha sido irreparable. He recibido ayuda profesional y el proceso de restauración es difícil y lento. Gracias por presentar este tema, triste realidad que vivimos muchos.
I am sorry to hear that. I pray to God that you must recover well. Same situation with me, I am surviving almost 31 years of narcissism with my father. He is very evil, high in ego and jealousy. I can't walk out of this relationship because I am not healthy enough to work and support myself. I was healthy but after being forced to put 3 Pfizer vaccines by my father, I became disabled. He destroyed my life but I appreciate that he is working and providing for the family but that too because of my mother. If not for my mother, I would have to live in a disabled home where there is no future 😢
@@Potato_Happy9 Gracias por compartir, me duele el corazón de leer todo lo que has tenido que pasar. Vamos a unirnos en oración para que Dios nos sane y nos recupere de estos años de tanto dolor emocional. Dios te bendiga.❤️🙏
Dearest Dr. Ramani! I HAVE to tell you something. You are SO BEAUTIFUL!!! In this amazing white dress you look like an angel ❤😊❤… And Thank you for your knowledge you share with us! You saved so many lives…
Mom and the rest of her siblings!! It was hard to live with my mom. It's like having anxiety 24/7. THe same with ALL her siblings. I swear they shouldn't breed.
Sometimes future faking is not so apparent and clear, they indirectly suggest things will change, or you hope they might based on how they are manipulating, but they never
Dr. Ramani is spot on. I had a close friend and roommate who was a narcissist and I had no idea. The verbal abuse and gaslighting got to the point to where I was beginning to question whether or not I was a decent human being. She would make me feel like I was rotten to the core. I’m so glad I ended that friendship.
Dr. Ramani’s work helped me recover from heroin addiction. No other treatment helped me see that I was abused by my narcissistic parents. Once I understood that, I was able to stop living under the assumption that something was wrong with me, and I started to heal.

¿Quizás hay algún estudio de relaciones de familia que se puedan revisar y se encuentre más narcisista de lo la encuesta presenta.
@@lourdespagan2565 I grew up with wide family narcistis circle. As the bible says it take 3 generations...Narcissam thrives in denial. Most of my close and wide families is in denial and work environment too. Denial of toxic and abusive behaviour.
Estoy trabajando en mi recuperación, la cual ha sido lenta y difícil.
Gracias por tus palabras.
Dios te bendiga.
I think the majority of people on this earth are narcissistic. Empaths are the minority.
It's global epidemic, but more USA than anywhere else.
It’s so great that you put awareness on this!
I preordered and received the book and I’m already halfway through it. It’s excellent!
I love Dr. Ramani! Her shared knowledge has helped me immensely in navigating my way out of a narc relationship and moving forward in the healing process. She's a Godsend to the victims of narc abuse. 🙏
Dr Ramani's channel has helped me heal and empower myself in ways I can't even explain. She offers explanations but also practical advice that a person can apply immediately to bring change. Thank you Dr Ramani.
Yessss Doctor Ramini! Brave, intelligent, insightful. I love her TH-cam channel.
We RARELY see personality disorders in therapy because they're "not the one with the problem." If they do, they manipulate the session. Most ppl say "leave them!" but what if they're your family? Victims need to strengthen their core beliefs through a good therapist for healing. Using a journal will help them by recording what happened for themselves to discern fact vs fiction. Leaving is a very individual decision. Helping you remember your worth and identity is essential. ❤
Dr. Ramani's YT channel has been a lifesaver to so many of us who've experienced narc abuse!
It is hilarious that this pops up on my feed today. I am convinced that my sister needs psychiatric help like yesterday. Thanks for shining a light on just how much of a narcissist she is - she ticks every box that you mentioned. Add in controlling and a bully and we’ve hit the jackpot. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 She is literally bad for my health - blood pressure up and the sense of dread whenever I saw her name on my phone. THANK GOD FOR BLOCK CONTACT.
a narcissist will NEVER look at themselves or better themselves. never take responsibility for their own actions or behavior, and never will, therefore any sort of therapy is a joke.
Her videos here on yt are probably the best, not only in that they provide validation, but help you move past
@@bkirstie my point is the realization that it really isn’t me. She is the nut job and it is helpful to hear someone completely independent shine a light on the situation. For a long time, there was a tiny doubt in my mind that maybe I am in the wrong. Not anymore
We need more segments like this.
Doc is sooo incredibly insightful and empowering
Thank you for sharing this. Your voice is helping so many x
Dr Ramani is amazing ❤
Dr. Ramano is so good! Learned so much from her! Sweet lady!
Dr. Ramani is God sent when it comes to identifying and understanding narcissisism! Her videos have helped me so much and I’m definitely getting her book! Thank you Dr!!❤🙏🏻
Dr Ramani helped me restore my self-value and muster the courage to leave a narcissistic relationship ❤️
Bravo Dr Ramani❤. We love your work.
Correct…..! Dr. Ramani has it right, she knows what she is talking about , has knowledge, she is the best!
My covert mother and flat out narc Father wonder why i dont care to communicate with them.
Wow Dr. Ramani! She’s so awesome and has helped me soooo much! I just got her book!
Dr. Ramani is a the best!! I have a now former 'best friend' who would become abusive when she didn't get her way and Dr. Ramani, through her YT channel, has really helped me step away from in a healthy and empowering way.
I had one too. One of the hardest things I had to do was to walk away from her.
@@jkcliff2956 Yes, I know. The manipulation and mind games are very powerful, but with time we get clarity and our power back.
Was a great piece on tv . Divine turning on the television- and my favorite people / person was there!
Thank You, Dr. Ramani is awesome I’ve been following her for years and helping a lot !!! 💐💜
I am reading the book now and love Dr Ramani, I am a bit concerned though that many people will look at the selfish people in their lives and label them as narcissists. I know Hoda and Jenna addressed this, and I know that some professionals consider narcissism to be a spectrum, with people exhibiting more or fewer traits, but it’s important to note that true narcissists (those diagnosed with NPD, Narcissistic Personality Disorder) have created a delusional self, more than likely in response to childhood trauma. Narcissists aren’t merely arrogant, they are compensating for a deep insecurity. It’s a sad state of being. I think it’s important not to label every @$$h**l in your life as a narcissist.
Narcissist snip at your self esteem until you don't have a soul anymore.
Because they don't have one
Finally , we need more info .. hopefully Hoda will think of all the older woman ,in a terrible marriage, all the jung girls ,who raised , the Man is always right
you all DO NOT HAVE TO PUT UP W THIS..!!
I was raised by one, married one,--'
now in my 60th..
I try to just live ... how sad ..!
Dr. Ramani is amazing!! Her youtube channel has been a lifesaver for me.❤
I wish you continued well deserved success Dr. Ramani!
Spot on! Very informative and I hope it helps others to see this
YES!YES! YES! You do everything for them & your miserable,you have to move on it's hard but you can I have been free for years.They will always try to compisate there behavior to justify it don't take the bait be strong break the cycle it will always be about THEM!!!
A true expert ❤❤❤
God bless Dr. Ramani!
Dr. Ramani is the BEST!!! So glad to see her getting more exposure, she will open your eyes & give you hope! Love her!
Love Dr.Ramani
I can relate & I went to a family funeral recently for my Aunt & let's just say the Daughter-in-law was happy while everyone else was in tears & grieving. I haven't seen my cousin or her in 15-20 years.
Dr. Ramani is such a powerful force in shedding light on the horrendous behaviour of narcissists and how to navigate the trecherous waters of narcissistic systems and working towards healing! Thank you for caring Dr. Ramani and congrats on your new book! I hope its a best seller for all of our sakes🤣
Dr. Ramani thank you , thank you for exposing these horrible people. We all know at least 3 of these people in our life time. We need the words to use against them. I am simply writing mine off but she needs her supply and so keeps coming back. I am going to choose the letter format so I can choose my words carefully and not forget the important issues. This will be a good reference for her when she has no one left.
Dr. Ramani!!!
Wow... You had Dr, Ramani on the show. Thank you Hoda and Jenna for honoring her!
Thank you Dr Ramini ❤
Narcisismo debería ser considerado un crimen emocional.
Llevo 37 años lidiando con familiares con características narcisistas y el daño ha sido irreparable.
He recibido ayuda profesional y el proceso de restauración es difícil y lento.
Gracias por presentar este tema, triste realidad que vivimos muchos.
I am sorry to hear that. I pray to God that you must recover well. Same situation with me, I am surviving almost 31 years of narcissism with my father. He is very evil, high in ego and jealousy. I can't walk out of this relationship because I am not healthy enough to work and support myself. I was healthy but after being forced to put 3 Pfizer vaccines by my father, I became disabled.
He destroyed my life but I appreciate that he is working and providing for the family but that too because of my mother. If not for my mother, I would have to live in a disabled home where there is no future 😢
@@Potato_Happy9 Gracias por compartir, me duele el corazón de leer todo lo que has tenido que pasar.
Vamos a unirnos en oración para que Dios nos sane y nos recupere de estos años de tanto dolor emocional.
Dios te bendiga.❤️🙏
@lourdespagan2565 Thank you so much Dear. Yeah, I pray to God to help us 🙏🏻🥹❤️
@@Potato_Happy9 Amén
@@lourdespagan2565 Amen 🙏🏻
Bravo Dr Ramani
Dearest Dr. Ramani!
I HAVE to tell you something.
You are SO BEAUTIFUL!!!
In this amazing white dress you look like an angel ❤😊❤…
And Thank you for your knowledge you share with us! You saved so many lives…
Mom and the rest of her siblings!!
It was hard to live with my mom. It's like having anxiety 24/7. THe same with ALL her siblings. I swear they shouldn't breed.
Sometimes future faking is not so apparent and clear, they indirectly suggest things will change, or you hope they might based on how they are manipulating, but they never
I’m so happy this conversation is becoming more prevalent
Amazing woman!
She looks amazing!! 😍
I love Dr Ramani! She's the best!
Dr. Ramani is spot on. I had a close friend and roommate who was a narcissist and I had no idea. The verbal abuse and gaslighting got to the point to where I was beginning to question whether or not I was a decent human being. She would make me feel like I was rotten to the core.
I’m so glad I ended that friendship.
I love you Dr Ramini. You have helped me so much! ❤
I wish I knew this 48 years ago. But especially the last 20. My life would be so much different and better.😢
She descibed my father. He is narcissists. 😢
Way to go Ramini 🌷💗
Dr. Ramani’s work helped me recover from heroin addiction. No other treatment helped me see that I was abused by my narcissistic parents. Once I understood that, I was able to stop living under the assumption that something was wrong with me, and I started to heal.
Friday, I received my book, and Dr. Ramani did it again! ❤
Dr. Ramani, I love you. You helped me so much.
