a charismatic narcissist can infect not only the inner circle of family and friends, but also entire groups of people within a company or community and turning them into a cult of self-praise
By the time my husband (33 years) was almost done, I was his personal assistant, cruise director, president of his fan club, governess, and most importantly, his medical expert(taxed with the pleasure of dosing out his final medications). He died a little over a year ago and I’m finally feeling better, everyday grateful that I’m not enslaved anymore or having to suffer humiliation, lies, chaos…it’s so sad when someone dies young, but not this time
@@trini_a_Lana I had to take care of him in hospice for his last 4 months, he thought it was good to “come clean” about his whore in another city, 36 year old gold digger!!!! Every day now I wake up with gratitude that I’m left in peace
@Dr. Sam Vaknin congratulations on your very deserving nomination! I have been a follower of yours for about four years. You have rescued me mentally! You have explained within your videos exactly what narcissistic abuse is. You have helped me to understand that it was not me, it was them. You have helped me to gain back my respect of self! I remember you spoke about respect in one of your videos, and you stated that it was going to be harsh, but we needed to hear it! I am certain I am not the only one that you have help to regain self and love of self! Again, congratulations on your nomination! You are well deserving of the honor!
Dear Sam, I came across your videos in my darkest hours few years ago. At that time, I was recovering from abuse,I still do but with much more awareness and much more supple vocabulary to name what I went through. Everything you say in this video resonates with me and I have been meaning to write a comment under your videos for a while but, I felt very split even about writing a short message. I have and I stil am afraid to he rediculeted for the things that I have allowed to happen in my last relationship. Hence why, the nothingness attitude appeals to me very much, though, it is a very difficult task to rebuild your life and make living if you renaming to be unseen. Though, I made it work in the last few years but at times I feel myself to be a victim of the past, though I dispise that term . I prefer to call myself an survivor but it has been one hell of a price to survive through madness. Everything of what I knew was shuttered, only the essense remained and even that I questioned through my recovery. I had to filter my voice and his voice, I still do so even after 3 years of it all ending. Infection it is , I felt it after our immediate separation that I use to say or think in the way that he did. Though, I was most at the time aware of it and I am still sifting through it.. I wish it was all different. So, my biggest thank to you is for helping us to understand the not so understandable mind of an injured and traumatised person, myself and my abuser included Also, I thank you for your honesty and objectivity, professionalism and your sense of humour.
I'm so pleased to hear you are receiving the recognition and top honours you deserve, Sam. Ever since I first discovered you, nearly 3 years ago, with your lecture in Budapest 'Manipulate the Narcissist and Live to Tell About It?' you have opened up a door to a world of considerable and meaningful (never hateful) understanding concerning the narcissist in my life. Lucky for me I found you. Please continue to shine a guiding light where there is darkness and confusion. I shall raise a glass of red wine to you!
Congratulations. A reward for you genuinely hard work to humanity. That no one can steal. You are already a winner to many of us whose lives you have positively impacted.
Congratulations Sam. Your videos have informed me of everything I ever needed to know and have helped me through a very challenging period of my life. Without your videos I wouldn’t be as thriving after narcissistic abuse as I am. So thank you for all Your dedication and hard work and I hope you win.
Imagine how difficult is to take care of a mother with 92 yo!! She still with all her narcissistic personality. I am a Psychoanalyst and my brother has all this behavior and I am try to help him understand " how he is becoming soo infected by taking care of her for about 8 years !!! He used to be a good person ! I can not help him!! I am seeing precise with this behavior!! Only God help me with my prayers! Dr Vaknin many thanks to you!! Your videos are very important!!! Many thanks!! You deserv this nominations!!
You were feeling yourself this lecture. Making at least twice as many cheeky jokes as usual :) Congrats, your work might help change how people think about many social problems.
I am grateful for your videos. Life is so complicated and I am slow to react. But at least I now realize I must hold onto what's left of my own identity and reality. God bless Sam for sharing his invaluable insights...
I owe you my life Sam. I see what I was in this video. But by following your advice I have come out of this spell and I can see the efforts you suggest do work. I'm becoming me again, thank you so much 💚
You saved my life, I was in a 3 yr situation and I swear to God if I hadn't came across you and some others I would of ,idk I really do not kno.but I've since found the strength from within myself I can not stress that enuf because it really did come from inside the very deep places I was running from.thank u so much for ur honest look on this matter there is nothing pretty about a relationship like this and you put it out there as such thank you
Praying for healing ❤️🩹 I think I have been infected and am suicidal. I have been hurt so badly that I just want to end my life. I feel like I don’t know myself anymore and am always fearful and anxious. I feel like am always moody and so many things going on in my mind. I do not want to be angry anymore.
Knowledge is power, i am so grateful for your videos. It is freeing to understand the dynamics of narcissism and these toxic relationships. To recover from all this is a long journey and Dr. Vaknin has helped me tremendously with his videos.
First of all, heartiest congratulations for your recognition. Secondly, thank you very much for your insightful videos. The information in them has helped me gain much clarity.
Hey Sam, Smiling from ear to ear for you sweetie! You are more benevolent than your family of origin. could see!!! Same thing happened to me! I love how you are leading people away from these terrible people! Truly saving lives! You are full of sagacity! I took latin and Greek derivatives class in high school! Very helpful tool in going toe to toe with the so called intellectuals that try to baffle the majority with their Baloney! We share the same birthday and you are my senior by one year. I taught myself to read by age four as you said you did in one of your videos! You came into my life via a computer present my oldest child gave me as a gift! Left narcissist . I tell everyone I know whom I suspect is a fellow highjacked victim to watch you on Utube and tell them that you invented all the terms that the " so called experts on Utube use." I tell them about your being discovered at eight or was it nine years old how high your I.Q. is. You are the only narcissist that I admire! Thank you for all you do! Congratulations exponentially!!! May you prosper and live long and well!
Coercive snaphotting is real. When it was finally over with my narc, there was a point where I reflected and thought, "Who am I? Who have I become? I'm not me." I had become someone so different from who I really am to please my ex-narc. I stopped listening to the music I loved, she convinced me to get rid of my body piercings and go get tattoo removal done. It was crazy. One of the best days of my life was when I walked into a piercing studio and got all my piercings redone as sort of a way to reclaim who I was.
Prof, my warmest congratulations to you; your recent achievements (like your previous ones) sound amazing. All the best with it everything. Thank you for your invaluable work in this field, and for generously sharing your insights and expertise with us.
Your contribution to the psychology of narcissism is invaluable! Thank you for taking the time to share this important information with the TH-cam audience.
I had been married to a Narcissist for 14 years and all the signs i had except the suicidal one.I can only say that getting out of that relationship was the greatest blessing of my life . I had 3 young children at that time but the timely separation helped the children to grow up into responsible youths. I would like to add that God helped me to heal very much otherwise my family wouldn't have understood me and put me into a mental asylum. I got healed by hearing faith based programs on tv and youtube. I could become the best mother to my kids when I understood that my kids r not my own but they are God's property and its my role to just look after them by giving them good values and morals. I also stopped calling my kids names and cursing them. Instead i started to bless them always. All this helped me to find myself and be a good person. I always thank God for being so kind to me and protect me and kids from all harm.
CONGRATULATIONS 🎊🎉 on your nomination! It’s about damn time. Thank you very much for continuing to provide us such valuable content every day despite being so busy with all your new projects. I appreciate and always look for your videos each week 😉No pressure. Congratulations again, truly well deserved 👏👏
Been listening to Prof. Vaknin for a while and in this video, like all of his videos, I'm wondering how he is getting all of this information so accurately. It's such a deep knowledge and for us who have lived through it, every thing is completely accurate. He gives words to the feelings that we just can't explain. I believe at one point he said he was diagnosed with NPD, but it's really hard to see that, because I would have never thought someone with NPD could have this deep of an understanding of any topic.
Congratulations on the nomination Dr. Vaknin! I'm so glad I've stumbled upon your videos. They're super enlightening and helped me leave an ex narcissist. 😊

@@oilselevated4808wow!! What a way to go. I’d have left him right then and there. You’re a good person for still staying by him. Better than me. 😊
Halleluya and praise be!
All the best for this new chapter of your life!
Sam, as your student, I am Happy to hear about you being recognized for the significant contribution to making the world a better place. ❤

Yes 👏 I absolutely agree 👍
Awesome! Congratulations on the nomination! Believe it or not you inspired me to return to school to, as you so lovingly say, "READ A BOOK."
In my opinion you've already won the award 🥇🏆 congratulations 🎉
That’s why some victims question where or not they are narcissistic. So this makes sense.
They question themselves, because the narcissist hijacked their mind and are confused .
Hi Prof Vaknin, I hope you get the award. You were instrumental in my making sense of the confusion and what has happened to me.
You are absolutely a winner already! Your contribution to humanity cannot be described. Congratulations 🎉
Congratulations Dr. Vaknin!
