Narcissism, Demonic Possession as Morality Plays

- Narcissism has been compared to demonic possession. Is there any truth to it? And how about psychopaths and borderlines? Is the False Self not an alien spirit? Are narcissists not evil and diabolical?
Buy most of my books in Amazon www.amazon.com/stores/page/60...
God is real! Angels and Demons are real! Just because you can not “see” something with your human eyes, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist! The wind is not visible, yet we can feel it! Open your spirit eyes!
I pray GOD will change your heart and you have a revelation with HIM who was, is, and always will me!
Your delusional then lol
But are they?. No-one knows for sure do they?
Thank you because this video is making excuses for Demons smfh.
The last night I was with narc he fully became the devil. His whole physicallity not just facially. If anyone doubts god, I'm saying as a Christian this incident along with the other bad stuff is a proof that god does surely exist. Praying for all here, may we all heal♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Has anyone experienced narcissists ignoring them so that they get you to "chase" them also as if they have a weird pull or "spell" on them?
Yup. I want nothing to do with the narc, she abused me and ended up getting charged for assault yet I’m feeling immense symptoms of depression. She keeps asking people to talk to me and when I message her she’s reading them and ignoring. I’m going to stop messaging her and let her face her consequences. She needs to seek Jesus and stop letting the devil fool her
@Kayla_Kizzle I hated being ignore when I only had the best pure loving intentions and ppl hated me for that
Your non-judgemental unbiased examination of the topic is refreshing and is an example of what an academic / scholar should be like. As a historian, I am constantly disappointed at the academic dishonesty and hatred/ bias filled "experts." Psychologically speaking, why is academia so full of people who refuse to be objective while screaming about how they are the most objective person in their field? I can not stand it! The only way to find the truth is to lay bias aside and follow the evidence. Thank you for your work!
“Or your money - what’s left of it” this made me lol cuz my narc did take a lot of my money
He stole from me on a vacation and denied it.
Drain you mind, body, soul, cash
For so many years I have been trying to understand the narcissist in my life. The scenario was always the same when he disassociated and became the laughing demon. If I let him get to me and became too emotional is when he would switch. I only once got the blank stare and that was when he was beating me to the floor. He's very violent. His eyes looked as if he was not there but had a small smirk on his face. Recently I was arrested for successfully defending myself against him. Because of his probation status I took the fall for him because I did bloody his nose. I'm hoping to be able to have strength to go no contact with him when I return home.
There is nothing good waiting for you if you stay. That is all.
Don't go home...you will only be free when you leave and go no contact...Narcissist abuse is similar to living with psychopath....They feed of your fear and anger....and that's how they control you...Your arrest should be enough to understand it should end
The longer you wait the longer it will take to heal
I hate the morbid view of them being vampires and zombies, even though it’s exactly like that. I feel we live amongst artificially intelligent people. They are like machines….human like in so many ways but they can never feel emotionally the way we do. We can only teach a robot so much….they’re like human robots. It’s so depressing. I can tell if someone is a narcissist very quickly and I hate it. There’s so many, and so many narcissists procreating, one day they’ll outnumber us. Hell on earth.
Why do you think so many narcissists pump and dump women and have her be a single mother with narcissists kids but if a Godly man comes in he could save the children but usually the single mother has turned into a whore
Keep your eyes on Jesus. Never give up and pray always.
Have anyone ever experienced with a Narc eating fast & sounding like some sort of animal?
Yes, the Narc I was keeping company with for a few months ate MacDonalds very fast like a starving person.
Never seen anything like it....told him he should enter pie eating competitions....he was slim.
.
Oh my God! Yes! Why is that?
Omg yesss. My gf was holding the fork in a very strange way and she left food all over the place. She was eating very fast and it just was odd. Mouth opened too. What got me scared was that she threatened me to stab my neck with the fork
@@missta1820 😂👏 pie eating contest omg… yeah seems like there’s def some kind of serious binge eat with narcs for whatever reason
@@paraguayaenalaska730 they can’t seem to regulate their emotions and need constant attention and drama. It’s like dealing with an adult child 🤦🏻♀️
Can i just say from personal experience.. Drugs are a huge contributor to the npd. My ex was a closet addict from a religious family. I found out he was a poly addict. Opiods, heroin, meth, crack, cocaine.. Secrecy, hyper sexuality, rage, anxiety. These drugs also play a huge role in apathy. They dont feel..most addicts don't. Im just throwing this out there. Yes a narc is a narc.. But if the narc is an addict as well.. The behavior is insane.
samvak.tripod.com/journal66.html
I can relate to the narc being a secret addict I unfortunately found this out too late
That’s because substance abuse already lowers your inhibitions and puts you cognitively in the back seat and allows lower entities to have the front seat for that short time think about drunk people how they act irrational emotional out of character and frequently don’t remember. It’s because it’s not them. The demons involved with a narc are way stronger and it’s long term possession. When the host gets high or drunk they gain full control
I am from a super strict upbringing. It creates a lot of mental health problems. Not trying to make excuses for your ex's bad behavior but I will say this; he must have gone through severe abuse.
@@banderson6470 I think he did, physically and sexually. I also think he's on the autism spectrum. I have since found out that he is closet gay or bi. He fits the narcissist description to a T.
You made me laugh with the way you said "they are dumb, idiots" while explaining their suggestibility and gullibility because they think they are the smartest (just like a very young child who thinks we believe in his pretending games, when we pretend we believe and play along with them). How I wish I could hug that little child, give him affection and love, and that he had good enough parenting that he needed but did not have. Well I guess I had needed this little laughter after so much sadness, emotional torture, pain and mess.
Thank you so much for your videos. I could listen to you all day and feel somewhat better about having removed the narcissist from my life. Hearing you say they have no self hits hard on my memory of when I first met the narc and went on our first dates always thinking there was something unsettling about this "perfect" man who seemed to fit so well into my life, turns out it was because he was mimicking me. And yes he suffered great deals of anxiety and even panic attacks. I asked him once early on "why do you always say yes to everything I say, Don't you have your own opinions or likes?"... wow that was flipped on me in an instant after the golden period was over. I feel like the wounds left by him will accompany me forever. The cognitive dissonance of having a "perfect fit" person to then take it all away. I spent the last year of talking to him trying to get him to accept he was a compulsive liar and had severe mental issues, but of course that did nothing but get him to say we both needed help and never actually agree to help. Any recognition of lying was quickly followed by "you made me behave this way" or "you lie too". I did for a period of time just started seeing him as a demon trying to get me to take my life. Your explanation of mental illness and demonic possession is so clear. And I find it quite telling looking back that he told me in 2 occasions he was the devil and I must have done something really bad to have met him.
The yes saying they do... it is the weirdest thing. My nex was so uncomfortably obvious about it, one of my friends called him out.
My experience same but much worse am afraid and I know this Egyptian x of mine was my karmic tiwn flame and here to purge me to where I need to be and to live myslef hes nariccist to the evil dark core and he very smart and dumb emotionally and can't grow and it was very Violent and we both had child hood abuse!! but I was alone and had no one at all!! I could write a book about what I went thru with him and my mother i beleive know where not juss nariccist and mental I took phycology and didn't believe truly n fairytales but always been very spritual Empathtic and higher consious and a rare light n me I been told I have..but IAM very convinced now as hard is it is for me to believe Bec of my own mother and my x the Egyptian both the same dark energy and fakeness and rage and dark negative and hate for me. The two that should love me the most Bec IAM alone and was so good to them and I new if not I be dead and am lucky am alive!!I thought of writing a book and everyone would believe it to be fictional if I told All I saw and went thru... But I have known since a small child I had higher calling for light work for such a time as this 2020 year.. the year now and I truly know what evil is and it's been after me my whole life to try to take my light and make me take my life... I been prophesized this a a number of times by very different belief systems of persons. I been beat several times and had to pray for my life from both my own mother whoom was juss like my x boyfriend and. They seem so normal and nice to others and smart but to me it was evil after me for simply loveing them and hated me and any light n me and happiness raged then into extreme violence..and they only met one two times for a min.but both where same demonic ways and even said the same things and both wanted me dead and both beat me and tortured me and both said they where leigons as they where about to take my life and they where referring to what the Bible said leigons are Demons!! And am told this ad I crying out for my life for hours and start praying to God for my life and spit on and laughed and told am worthless cunt and god doesn't love me am nothing And and need to die!! And then laughed at me my mom always done the same thing oure evil but smart and seem so normal around others so this my life and journey has been very unique and hard!! My mom spoke in other tounges and slither on the floor like a snake and her eyes truned color and my heart stopped and I thought ok in shock demons are very real!! But not black like heard others say but blood red red and pupils went vertical like a cat..and for about I DNT know a min..but seemed like longer I felt so shocked and I know what I saw but It flet like a dream state Bec I new then what evil was!!! And she hated me and told me this since leaving my father at 7 for being to envolve with church he was youth pastor and great man but a coward and kept him from me from then on as well as my step Mother very selfishly!! She said would scream and tell as well my x they can't communicate there like ignorant toddlars with extreme temper tantrums and they both sucked and drianed me to the core it was all the time!!! With both no normal communication and no peace ever it made it impossible for me to function I was a wreck and they where one in The same demon it seems wanting me to take my life!!! So my life had been a very hard one and I had become a warrior alone and it had made me very strong and how the spirit world works... But I beleive as strange as this seems that my arch angles brought us to union Bec of my situation at the time and what I wanted and needed this was devinly Brought together to make me grow and love myslef and fight and am extremely Empathtic and intuative and they the opposite!!! They wanted to steal my energy and I know it and keep me from .u calling n
life!!but I also new and all sudden I never felt a god are angles and anything cared for me and where there for me.. it made life hard for me and negtiave I was taught this and it made me fear my own survival but the min I decided to respect my self a d. Stand up and fight for my life miracles happened and I strated seeing numbers 1111 111 all the time I never heard of numerology are twin flames the krarmic flames non of any if this at all!! And u can find this online and read about it but many DNT truly know what it so they think if they saw this numb seq. One two times all sudden they awaken and know.. And as I strated to awaken and love myslef sprit and my angles and the Devine stepped up and I nee without any douts I find thave be alone and need to reli in any nother human beings are any dark abusive force I thought I had to have to make it as crazy as that is they where trying ki me at all cost.but am awaken now and I know why and wow I knew I had be very alone for a year and I have to heal and grow and learn my gifts god given me to help the world and do light work and it started and I got alone and the Devine literally out my life on hold for me to learn self love and maifestation and it's been nearly two years now that I been very alone and I know spirit had in fact put my life on hold!!!and here we are with covid and the min.i get this why and what happens and a these downloads all sudden from my spirit guides it all is been amazing and hard yes lonely yes but wow.. I learned that the power we have inside is unlimited and we are truly blessed and helped by the Devine and universe when we respect and love ourlself the right way!!!! And we learn to alchemize negative thrown are way... We actually get blessed when being cursed if we DNT allowe it and reli on our own power and stay positive and know that that spirit had our back it's been amazing and many miracles are still comeing to me all the time and awakeings!!! but sometimes we in fact meet these n rare times bec.there devinely sent to purge us to grow and love ourself and learn in life to where we need to be and of spritual knowledge in my case this was very abnormal other worldly with this realtionship!! And deep down after first year I new this was a karmic twin flame and I had to go thru this.amd this I heard can be a rare thing for only people that have a higher calling and I was told by teachers and new this myslef and few others in life I have special energy and calling n life...and this was my journey!!!😈⚡😇✨✨1111

Excellent. You are not alone in suspecting that dissociation underlies what is currently labeled "personality disorder."
"Life coaches and other luminaries." 😀 Swallowed my drink the wrong way on that one. Love your dry humor, Sam.
"luminary" 😂
I really love your videos. I'm so glad I found your work. It goes beyond a simple explanation of these behaviors. I've dealt with more than one type of narssasits & sociopaths.
Sam says sociopathy is rubbish
@@SlickRick-ne8qw that's his opinion but I've been reading books by psychologists on these disorders for over 20 years. The psychologist who wrote the Sociopath Next Door did extremely extensive research & I've known people who are very much like the case studies she presented...
This hit home my sadistic ex who gave me a sob story how she was abused so I moved her across the county, after she screwed me over and then begged me to come back she asked me to move in with her so I gave up my apartment. My job for six months was to wake her up in the morning that's why she moved me in. then made me homeless after I brought her to the beach and waking her up for mother because I gave uo my apartment leaving me homeless I then trusted her AGAIN and made homeless again. After I broke it off she constantly called the police over to my house accusing me of hacking her phone lol. The police found I was doing nothing wrong and told me have nothing to do with the person they are evil and finally suggested I file a restraint order. The police said they thought she really believed I was hacking her phone if anyone was in her phone it was the dozens of guys she was talking to on the internet. I was at a gas station and she drove by screaming stalker, yelling outside my door at my apartment complex. the detectives told me she was accusing me of braking in hacking her ring so that there was no evidence and hiding her shoes. Then told everyone I was crawling through the A/C ducts and stole all her stuff. Welcomed them in to search the place. Funny thing one of the police offers when she called them told them I refused to meat with detectives when I had just met them earlier in the day. This shows how these animals triangulate and lie even about stuff like this, like the police were not really going to talk to the detective and see first thing she did was lie. Then sent me messages saying that she was going to accuse me of druggng her if I did not buy her a bunch of stuff when the truth is she really dd break into my house while I was there! I shared all of this with the police. They told me to file a restraint order which I did. BUT guess what when around telling everyone she had a restraining order against me! Went to court today and she had got an attorney, and postponed it many times. I thought they were going to hear the evidence today but wanted a separate date for a trail and I just did not have it in me anymore to keep going on and on so I dismissed the case I did not have the energy anymore. I was set to prove my innocence after her vicious smear campaign online. It would have been nice to have a document proving who abused who. Narcism is past down her mother cheated with her dads best friends which show the moral compass she was raised under. In my own apartment I would have to hide while she talked to her mom on the phone because she had bad mouthed me so bad to the person she begged me to help her escape from. I am sure she will tell everyone she won even though I dismissed the case but that's ok as long as she's gone. THE SHIT and lies these creatures come up with is just unbelievable. They will do ANYTHING to appear as a victim. When she told me her husband had a restraint order against her I believed all the stuff she told me how he framed her. I should have walked away. I wasn't allowed to go to my buddy daughters funeral because he did not like her, I wanted to but I had just given up my apartment so I was afraid of being kicked out. Also I was not allowed to cook or clean even though I dishes were a mile high I had to brush my teeth in the bathtub so spots did not get on the mirror she also called my parents who are vile narcissists and I have no contact with she called EVERYONE. My apartment won't resign my lease because she brought them the police reports she made that I was hacking her phone but oh yea forgot to tell them the detective found after confiscating everthing for several day I was doing nothing and felt bad for me.. I brought this vile Suboxone eating trash into my life and look what happened when I did not head all of the warnings even took the dog I loved and was also accused of having sex with.
🥶😡

I have been tempted many a time to call in the church for my ex narcissist and I'm not even religious! 😂🙏
I used to think that. I don't anymore. You can't help them......Best part is my narcissists grandmother went to Lourdes and bought back some 'holy water'....She made him drink it, he became violently ill. I like to tell myself it was the power of the water and not the fact it was stagnant....Sadly it didn't cast out any demons 😂
i called the ministry of health because he was talking about how i was just an experiment and that this was poor peoples game to demonic possess me and a plot to hone this game on people.
Absolutely experienced the possession,,,,omg,,,thank you for making me not feel so shocked at the experience,,,,wow
Demon possession has less to do with Narcissism than another largely forgotten theological concept that has been thrown on the garbage heap of the Middle Ages: "the passions". I was hoping Sam would mention the term: "the passions". The idea (especially today) is largely absent from Western, or, Latin (Catholic) tradition, and all Protestant variations. The concept is extremely prevalent in Eastern Orthodoxy (Byzantine, or, Greek, tradition). Roughly defined, the "passions" are movements, actions or habits that are opposed to the "natural life" of the soul. They are in a way the source of all psychic illnesses, the source of pathologies; they help to introduce evil into the soul, which deforms it. The passions were seen as being separate from demons (who were considered autonomous, bodiless minds who desire humans to resemble themselves, to join with them of their free choice) but the Fathers of the Church say that some demons are kind of overseers, assigned to particular passions (the demon of gluttony, the demon of vanity, etc).
The passions are argued to be either alien to human nature, or a part of human nature that has been sickened, taken out of its normal functioning. The passions usually lie hidden within every human being throughout their life (but are often very obvious to others who observe). The Byzantine (Orthodox) tradition places much less emphasis on "exorcisms"; in fact, true "demon possessions" are seen as something of a rarity. Mental illness (at least today) is seen as separate from demon possession.
The main passion of the Narcissist, which I wished was mentioned in the video, is "vainglory": the love of praise.
A short list of some of the off-shoots and subdivisions of passions, most of it taken from John of Damascus' (675-749 AD) "On the Virtues and Vices":
Self-love, flattery, pretense, love of praise, love of power, love of material goods, love of fame, senseless dejection, notoriety, luxury and money, excessive pleasure, vain imaginings, licentiousness, attachment to worldly concerns, gratification of every bodily whim, cowardice, thinking one will live forever, fear of old age, sudden poverty or sickness, obsession with the body, laziness, forgetfulness, despair, hypocrisy, pride, anger, violence, envy, jealousy, heartlessness, cruelty, manipulating others, slander, bitterness, ingratitude, complaining…and the list goes on.
Many times Narcissists really do appear to have cultivated these, almost without knowing (or perhaps they do?) They make me think of the (lesser known/accepted) Japanese belief that some demons were once, in fact, human beings, who became demons through their complicit, willing cultivation of evil.
You may have noticed that this particular video was about demons, not vices, or passions, or shells (Jewish concept), or ... or ... But thank you for an enlightening comment.
@@samvaknin Sam, thank you for the reply.
I mentioned in my comment that some Fathers of the Church claim that demons are appointed as overseers, assigned to particular passions (the demon of gluttony, the demon of vanity, etc.). But the point I was trying to make (or at least attempt) was that if one is looking at the Narcissist through the lens of Christian demonology, specifically from a Byzantine (Orthodox) perspective, it would be more likely that the Narcissist would be seen as less “demon possessed” than in a “passion-charged state”. Although...in my personal witnessing of Narcissistic rage...they really are a bit “demon-like”, aren’t they? (frothing at the mouth, ridiculous utterances, all sorts of nonsense, etc.)
@@lfi1052 This has been insightful.
@@lfi1052 Narcissists are taken by The Jezebel Spirit.
Did you experience candidates Schizoid narcissist types claiming people are reading there minds and that telepathy are targeting him and abusing him constantly?
Thank you for sharing your research on here freely!
What’s happening now. I had a cold still do. He was walking bent over and slow the whole time. Now in bed says that he is sick. I said what’s wrong. He said nothing. Now he is not speaking to me. I am tired of the weird games. It’s coming to an end.
They need to be center of attention then slient treatment it's all about control. Make a secret exit plan and never look back. They only get worse 😮😢
Hop out of bed, get dressed: He’ll ask where you’re going. Say: To church.. see if he follows.
Brilliant, enjoyed listening to your insight.
I gain a lot of insight and knowledge about myself listening to the lectures.
You are amazing! I love your videos always so informative love your work!
Yes!!!!!! I so agree!!!! This is great!!!
So comforting to know you and Minnie have reconciled :) Your videos are true psychological manna from heaven, thank you Sam.
There are Narcissistic Churches one of them is Seventh Day Adventist it’s the perfect organization for Narcissists
@@debbier9555 because they claimed they are the only ones that know the truth and only ones that will be saved
Sam!!!! Love this 💕
Sam it so much fun to listen to you! Thank you very much for your videos and for applying that CC-BY license to them!
Very informative and unbeatably so true
I learned well from your video comparing and contrasting Narcissism and Psychopathy, and defining Borderline as well as a reason the later are ideal others for the aforementioned disordered types. I also appreciated the variety of perspectives and sum of the history and discourse surrounding these classifications. I look forward to this lecture. I am certain I will gain as much understanding.
Your final words are so shockingly true.
Thank you for this lecture. 💓
Good morning Sam, nice seeing you !!
Demonic - rage
I am really happy that you give your time to do this videos and teach us and make us understand people and us as well.
I would not say happy but thankful to the Almighty (no offense meant for Sam Vaknin) that there is someone explaining so thoroughly and well about the making of and the processes within and the hell of the life of a full blown narcissist, for people curious like me, who could not wrap her mind around the matter for so many years of my life. I am not sure if this is necessarily a good thing or not, but none the less something I was looking for, I think I understand the narcissist quite well now, after listening to and reading a lot of Vaknin's work, which I discovered 7 years ago.
@@cassiopeiathetortoise115 good point I agree with you. God bless you.
Oh, just noticed that we are of the same nationality. Selam and God bless you too.
Wow so so so true.
Personally, I'd like to see Sam and Jordan Peterson have a debate.
2 days ago I made a diagram with my self states and began to write down things that were characteristic of my thinking when I was in a purely narcissistic state and the psychopathic state and thought about the self states as individual personalities as I listened to Professor Vaknin speak on the self states.
I work constantly listening to his videos and I get triggered into anxiety episodes but push through to keep growing. I realized that even though the self state that is dominant and in control other self states have emotions they're feeling for example anger towards the information or something specific that reminded me of how I felt when I was in another state and even though I was okay in the current state the previous state was taking the information and setting me up to be switched out.
Today I said in my head we all need to get together , while I was working; if we keep our memories separate from each other then the knowledge we accumulate into order to function in life and have a home again, has to be shared or we will have far worse pain in the future. After that my dyslexia was gone for 3 hours. I felt no anxiety. I was having conversations with clear thinking and speaking. My body and mind were so in harmony i felt like MichaeI Jordan making my work look like a pro level sport. Was secure and feeling attraction with Co workers and began flirting again. I was happy and had humor. I was free of narcicisstic and psychopathic thinking thinking felt liberating to have all these emotions and not switch.. As soon as I put the lectures back on I felt my chest getting tight and knew my psychopath was going to switch me out but i said we're not being threatened by anyone externally and which one of you are pissed off about the realizations I'm having? After about 2 hours I realized that I was able to fend off switching out but I knew at some point the psychopath would come out and it did eventually and the anxiety went away.
I think maybe my self states were happy that I was trying to learn about them but as soon as I thought they may feel like if I go through with this that they'll die, I felt increased anxiety.
Professor you said it best it's confusing to try to figure out what each and everyone of them are thinking. I felt a surge of anger and my eyes widened like I was looking at prey but my face was expressionless and I knew I felt the psychopath come to the surface so I went to take a picture and a soon as the app opened up the camera my eyes quickly returned to their normal position. I left like someone came to my eyes to look out of them and then walked away from the window and faded away behind the blinds.
I respect your honesty. This disease should be better understood by everyone.
Wow, I have a lot of respect for u. Idk how it’s like to have npd but I do know that most ppl who do. Don’t own up and try to improve. I wish u luck.
It's very brave of you, seeing through the situation and trying to change. But it's something extraordinarily difficult for accomplishing all by yourself. I'd suggest you seek for some professional help in order to have some guidance:)
Brilliant body of work. Thank you.
Love this episode. Btw in Mahayana Buddhist thought, at least, the sensual realm is not demonic. To believe that a sensual pleasure can last forever or supply perfect happiness would be delusional, yes. But good food, say, and sex, are not evil in themselves. It is only the overestimation of them or overvaluation of them that is problematic.
There is more to this subject, but this, I think, is a fair way to express the basics.
Thank you, Sam!!
A druggie got my 18 yr old daughter pregnant. She let's him drink everyday. She'd never been exposed to drug's growing up. But besides outside of the home. I was the only parent. They had a child. I can't understand what she sees in the creep. Am I being a narcissist? We can't contain a mature relationship. She doesn't want to get her driver's license and I can't make her. She yells at me constantly. When I need her help with something she sits somewhere for 3 or 4 hours and shuts me out totally. He's possessed her by his drugs addictions. They just moved out after living with me for several years. She only let me know a week before she moved. She probably knew for 3 months I'm assuming. Now I'm having to move out and I can't get any help from them two. I paid they're rent for several years. I'm afraid he's going to get her into doing drugs eventually and I'm afraid for her child.
@Sam Vaknin , Thanks !
Love listening to you my marriage is a nightmare with this narc or borderline
I have a brother who suffers from personality disorder. Although never diagnosed the signs are there. He refuses to get along with us and is constantly blaming and can’t be bothered to analyze himself. But then he changes his delivery and suddenly apologizes for his behavior in a very vague way. Here’s the kicker though. My parents are both pastors and he also had bad church experiences as a teenager. (So he says) He hates the idea that his parents and me his older brother are now Christians and insults is whenever he doesn’t get his way. According to my mother he overheard a pastor once say that he knew my brother was carrying dark spirits or demon possessed and brag caused him to spiral even more. I came to Christ late in my life but studied a lot of psychology before becoming religious. This is the first time I put those two things together and wondered if they could be related. Then your video popped up! Man this is crazy! 😮
HA! Luv da mug humor 🤣
The devil's elixir by ETA Hoffman, maybe?
Dr Vaknin, Could you make a video on the relationship between Stockholm syndrome and Narcissism if there is any relationship between the two?
Could you do your homework and search my channel?
Thank you so much sir! Could your video titled:"Social Distancing: Isolation with the Narcissist" been interpreted as bi-directional? Say in a Boyfriend Girlfriend context where the power dynamic is not set in stone compare to married couples, so in this premarital phase where power dynamic of the couple is in flux, the abuser will become the abusee and vice versa? So both parties experience the same Stockholm syndrome and associated attacks where physical contact of the two has been abruptly removed like social distancing?
I recently came out a relationship where I struggled with anxiety GAD mainly but panic attacks and agoraphobia too. when the relationship ended I thought I was a narcisist, a lot of my behaviours sound like narcisism such as being self involved, I could start arguments when I felt overwhelmed, start fights and be very mean when I thought my partner wanted me to go to social events that I was scared of to the point of being verbally abusive so I didn't have to go. I would constantly feel judged for being anxious and the things my ex had to sacrifice such as holidays, going out a lot of places so I said "this is how I am you have to accept it" when really I should have admitted I was scared to go, scared of intimacy and felt a lot of guilt. guilt came out as anger and for 2 weeks I tore my life apart, told her how I feel as I have many times before when I've asked her to leave and diagnosed myself as a narcisist but now I'm not sure I have it after watching one of your videos. I don't need people to admire me, I don't think I'm good or attractive. I sometimes lie and say I'm confident and happy with who I am though which can sound like narcisism like I'm better than you. I'm still not sure which I have or maybe both but one thing stood out. before this relationship I was in another and I was abused in that relationship, she mocked my mental health, aborted a child and said it was because she didn't want it to end up like me, I was miserable and I stayed. would a narcisist do that? I'm just not sure anymore.
You are not qualified or trained to diagnose anyone, let alone yourself.
@@samvaknin thank you for your reply. I am struggling to find a specialist in the UK who can help diagnose me and point me in the right direction. I have been in therapy for years with my anxiety disorder but really struggle when relationships end.
@@danielknott7447 I honestly don’t think you’re a narc they’re not really known to be self reflective.Good luck w finding a doctor n God bless
You do not sound like a narcissist, you sound like you have CPTSD. There are lots of resources about this online, it sounds like you have early childhood attachment trauma. A great book to start with is "Complex CPTSD: From Surviving to Thriving" by Pete Walker. Good luck and God bless!
Please discuss Til Eugenspiegel sometime. Was he the progenitor of nowadays trolls; mischievous, malicious, ruinous.

What would you say about a person who was a Christian for 14 years but after several traumas literally turned into another person for 7 years! The person was very mean, promiscuous, full of rage and just unrecognizable but then changed back to a Christian that seems like their old self! 14 years and 7 years are really long time frames!!! Just curious of your thoughts!!!
Biology and hormones perhaps.
Ciaran I’m going to check into that!!! Thank you!
@@ciaran7780 yes wow, im realizing this!! maybe cut back on eating hormone induced meats and dairy...
@@umsiee that sounds horrible, but it's probably good advice :)
@@ciaran7780 😂😂😂 I kno
My narc husband is probably secretly watching this blaming me for being a narc. I want to laugh because it's irrational but, it's real in his mind. Ugh. Do I stay or do I go? I'm following the path towards GOD.
Go!!!!
I second GO!! if not gone already.💪🏾
I know a woman doing Heroin and mean to her son. He committed suicide!
OMG - God rest that boy's soul. ❤

The person that I was in a relationship with for 2 years was blinded in a car accident at the age of 25 in 1995. He suffered a traumatic brain injury and needed to rebuild his face with one of his ribs. I believe that he is a somatic narcissistic psychopath oh, but I believe that he was groomed pi his upbringing as Golden Child and having to parentify his very young parents (17 + 16 when he was born/ married after his birth). At the age of 12, his parents made him make the decision to put the plug on his brain-dead little 8 year old brother . . . I believe he was probably somatically narcissistic before the accident but he might not have been sadistic/psychopathic then. Last year after 30 years, she divorced him.
Does the Narcissist actually have a conscious realization of the false self or do they just feel like they are pretending at life? I'm pretty sure though that when he is acting sadistically or psychopathically that he is in full realization of his plans and actions. He kept telling me that he was not a 'narcissist' (when I told him that my mother was a narcissist, he told me his wife said he was a narcissist (2 days before he discarded/cheated on me). That he denied it is not a surprise as he was never accountable for anything.

So if the diagnosis is....no.hope,...what good is therapy, ...what purpose does it serve.
It tends to teach the narc how to model appropriate behavior. That’s about it. Typically they do not go, and if they do it’s probably via couples therapy because they want to convince the therapist and you that YOU are the one with all the issues. If this video proposes there are evil spirits possessing the narc, does anyone really think therapy will help?
Does a narcissist always use reverse psychology on people??
No.
Haha, Sam, I missed the shows on conspiracy theories and 5G.....I can't wait to find those. God bless you.
Year after year you never cease to be a genius at breaking down these issues in a way that brings understanding of each disorder and the analysis of its function and origin!! Brilliant Sam!
I'm wondering how you know ,so much doctor. You got my attention and it's quite interesting theory.
Hi Sam
31:18 - "By the way there is no trace of Jinns in the Qur'an"
Wrong. The Qur'an does mention Jinns.
And fun fact is that the pagan 'Quraysh' knew about jinns,
however jinns are unknown in Judaism or Christianity.
Jinns are just pagan arabic beings.
Yes, they are mentioned a few times in the Qur’an. For example in Surah al-Jinn.
