    Does it really matter if they know they are hurting you or not? The point is they are hurting you and you don't deserve to be hurt so someone else feels in control. You deserve to be happy and emotionally healthy!

    When someone is cheating, they know damn well that they're hurting you. When someone purposely stonewalls you, they know damn well that they're hurting you.
    When someone plans a fight or rage attack , on your birthday or holiday, just to ruin things, they know damn well that they're hurting you. The difference is they lack remorse so they don't care.
    The ex abuser used to test me by purposely trying to hurt me, in different manners, to see how I'd react and if I'd still stay. (As malignant narcissists do)
    All premeditated and thought out so yes they know and they enjoy watching you suffer. Just watch that famous smile or smirk if they hurt you....
    Its on purpose.

The sick behaviour and tricks like stealing or damage your stuff, buy deliberately wrong groceries, point the wrong way etc...These types are not brain less or just acting instinctively (compulsive) for they can switch their sick behaviour on and off!

    They DO enjoy your pain. They CANNOT even contain their absolutely delight at your confusion, distress, hurt and anguish. It spills right out through their smiles, smirks, twinkling eyes and smug satisfaction.
    H.G I agree with everything except, that they don't enjoy seeing your anguish. They DO. They DO. They Do.
    Saying they don't will cause empathic persons to continually forgive the N's mis-deeds, rather than accept the untenable, unhealthy and dangerous situation of being in a relationship with a Narc.

      My narcissist ex told my relative that I was crying when we broke up, and my relative said my ex had a big smile on his face as he said it. The night that he dumped me, I mostly cried due to the physical pain of suffering from kidney stones that night; and I somewhat cried from that narcissist f*ck*r breaking up with me that same night. The thought of me crying after he cruelly discarded me put a big, stupid smile on his face.

      As someone who is beginning to think I might be a narcissist i have to disagree. I don't know why I smile when i see someone uncomfortable. I don't think wow let's try to make this happen again. I just want to smile but I feel really bad for wanting to smile cause I know there pain isn't good. But for some reason it's funny. But it doesn't make me happy. I feel like a monster even typing that but it's the truth. His description of it is spot on. Shit happens and I just want to smile. I'm confused about why I want to smile cause it's not funny and I recognize that but I do. You as someone on the other side may think I enjoy the moment and am doing it on purpose but I'm not.

    You just strengthened my belief in your theory of these three distinct levels. The one I labeled as “midrange” checks every box. To this Goody Two Shoes, I am the narcissist, the drama queen who enjoys punishing him. He sees himself as such a good person and a helper that everything is someone else’s fault, sees any bad feelings as definitely coming from outside of himself. I felt that his gaslighting was not intentional so I became concerned about his memory and focus, calling it a moment of ADD, thinking he couldn’t recall because of distraction. Yet at work so focused and successful? He was so frustrating and draining because everything became a debate, and he doesn’t disengage with one as quickly as the lesser or the greater in my opinion. I felt he holds tighter to his supply because he didn’t have the easy charm to fall back on, was too concerned about his reputation as such a nice guy. Definitely more silent treatments, sulking, whining, so “misunderstood.” This is the category that I deem just drones on and on forever. Not physically abusive but condescending on a level from annoying to cutting. I feel this type will work the hardest to veil that they enjoy your pain. That you will hear more “Why do you hate me?” at this level.

    As much as I do not want to agree with you regarding the concept that a Mid Ranger is not aware of what he/she is doing, my experience and my research proves your statements. My ex fiance became very predictable toward the middle and final end of the relationship. Whenever he felt "out of control" he became CONTROLLING. Everything was my fault or his boss' fault, or anyone's fault except his. To this day he "apologizes" for what he did (too many things to list) but ALWAYS accompanies the apology with a caveat. BUT if you had.... I would never have done... SPOT ON. I have never been a believer in the terms Empath or Super Empath either, but you have made a believer out of me. I fit all of the criterion of a Super Empath. When I finally fought back, I fought back HARD! He was even surprised. I got over it, and wanted peace over revenge. I now feel nothing but pity for my ex. I suffered a far worse childhood than he did, it was even on the news as I set a California legal precedent and sued my abusive parents back in the 80's! However, his childhood damaged him far worse than mine did me. I pray for him but ONLY at a distance. I also have been no contact or limited contact for 6 years. He was the ONLY man who tried to love my son with multiple special needs, at least until he realized that my son would never be cured. He was also there for me (even when we were no longer seeing one another) when my only family except for my son, mi hermanito bello (beautiful little brother) killed himself. I can not hate him, I feel nothing but sadness for him and indeed HG for you as well. I will NUNCA (NEVER) go back, and now that I know who and what I was dealing with, he no longer has any more power over me. He is older now, and is one of those "fading narcissists" that you spoke of in a video of the same name. He sits alone and surfs the internet. He has his porn, and his few VERY few now people that think he is a great if misunderstood fellow. I know who he is, but more importantly, I know who I AM now. I may have been chosen by him, but my lack of self caused me to CHOOSE to stay and try to love him, EVEN when I saw the red flags and painted them pink. I spent many years in a loveless sexless marriage with a man on the ASD spectrum. When I met the Mid Ranger SOMATIC! in my former life, I was ripe for the picking! I see that now, and I WILL NUNCA (NEVER) FORGET that now. Your videos are a great way for you to make amends even if you are not doing them for that reason. I will continue to pray for you HG and ALL people who are made into monsters by their parents or others from a GREAT distance, but GOD works well at any distance. Abrazos! Hugs!

    The beast I was with must have been a higher level Narcopath because one day I realized I was watching him gleefully watch me suffer. I reviewed that difficult day and realized the ENTIRE day, EVERY moment was controlled and manipulated for the expressed purpose of torturing me. Exhausted and in shock, I finally got up to leave and as I was on my way out, he was the most peaceful and serene I had EVER seen him. This is not an exaggeration. He calmly, sweetly smiled, walked me out to my car and in a sweet, almost sing-song voice asked, "are you OK hon"? It was sickening. Did he know what he was doing? ABSOLUTELY. Not a doubt in my mind.

I got an unapologetic apology that shifted the blame of why we didn’t work out on me, and all I could do was scoff at him for what was expected. I refuse to see him despite his threats of suing me for visitation of our children. I’m doing great now and my path is clear now without him.

  • @justme-dm7sb

    I am not a narcissist but did not realize I was dealing with one so when she didn't tell me she was leaving and would just disappear in the middle of an event (or whatever was going on) or didn't care that we had mutual responsability to the animals (we each owned horses seperately) I started doing the exact same things she would do. When she would rage at me for it I would remind her that yesterday she had done exactly that thing and tell her "I care exactly as mich about you and your feelings as you do about mine. How does it feel to you?"
    This wasn't out of the blue. It was after months of telling her she had hurt my feeling and left me in impossible positions by randomly taking off. Her rage and cruelty became almost unbearable before she finally had had enough of her own treatment. The one thing I would do was hit her although she would brag about how hard she kicked me in my sleep. I wouldn't sleep with her again and her rage at that caused the "I'm done with your abuse" discarding phase. Which didn't last long because I just said "ok, good".
    She hated her behavior reflected back at her. And no I was not smiling. It hurt that she didn't understand STILL why I was hurt. She was only full of rage.

    A mid-range narcissist is more instinctual than an active decision maker in how they prey on others. They know what they're doing, but don't have control over it or understand it. A herd dog knows how to herd animals with very little training from birth. It's something they know to do without thinking about it. That is what a mid-range narcissist does. In a way, they herd people's emotions to control them. Having self awareness/higher thoughts, unlike a herd dog, means they won't accept the authority of a shepherd to control their inner killer instinct. A herd dog will eventually submit to it's baser preditory instincts and eat it's herd without a shepherd to rein it in.

Fortunately I did zero contact before I knew about her mechanisms, but I was confused a lot because she wanted to be a fake-friend previously and some of her mind trickery worked. She is a mid ranger, she has hoovered me about 3 times through 3rd parties, looking for reactions, but I silent treat her back (not even looking at her / so totally ignoring her presence) and so far fortunately nobody is interested in her that much...

    My upper mid-range narcissistic ex was always concerned with “self-preservation” (he always used those terms). At the time, a 9 year-old little girl and a woman who genuinely and deeply loved him “victimized” him because he accused me of loving my child “too much”. He felt left out or like I couldn’t love him because I loved my daughter-no matter how good I treated him. He is intelligent and he is a big guy and he is a former professional medal-winning martial artist in Asia; but emotionally he was a big baby. At that time, I could not figure him out.

      I know you weren’t asking me but I do diagnose personality disorders in my profession and I think Watts is a sociopath - Someone with Antisocial Personality Disorder, and yes they are Narcissistic to the core but with added evil of breaking laws of society and having Machevelianism. Everything they do to harm and manipulate others for their own personal gain, and killing the wife and kids to get them out of the way so he can be with someone else? Is there anything more evil than killing those you are supposed to protect and not only having zero remorse for it but blaming the victims? This goes way beyond Narcissism into a sociopath hence my diagnosis of Antisocial PD. There are also malignant Narcissists who are very abusive and no conscience as well. Ted Bundy was all of the above. The symptoms and behaviors found in these diagnoses overlap.

    I'm not able to wrap my head around the "don't know they're lying" thing. So, take the example of the narcissist cheating on his spouse, knows the general population would see it is wrong, and thus hides it. Is the lie that, "no, I'm not having an affair," that he tells his spouse who inquires, included in the kind of lie you're talking about? Cause if that's really believed, that he's not lying in that moment, if that's not some kind of severe mental handicap or disorder or delusion, the kind that this type of narcissist seems far to competent and functional in the world to have... then is it that the perceptions from the narcissists perspective on what's true and what's a lie are just totally different from how I think of what's true and what's a lie?
    If the narcissist says, "no, I'm not having an affair," surely he doesn't in that instance stop believing that he left the house the other night and slept with a woman who wasn't his wife? What does it mean to him, to believe he's not lying, to believe his own lie?

    Well,since they are " pre- programmed" to do much damage to those who love them; they need to remain single. Whatever the reason they cannot help themselves; abuse is abuse. It is never justified. Never. Even small children know right from wrong. I believe allowing strong consequences due to wrong,hurtful,dangerous actions is required.

    No. This makes no sense to me. Bc sometimes the mid-ranger hurts others (folllowed by a smirk of course) without a bad Situation for happend. I rember a mid-ranger(Not a greater narc), makes friends with pll, just to make them suffer and smirks whenever they suffer. But these ppl are good to him! IT is often not a response of a narcistic injury!! He just loves the pain and plans in advance triangulation How do they justify that? They must have an conviction of their inner Darkness. Do they really think that they are good Persons Tudor? I doup that... You even said in a video that all narcs sense the darknis within. They must know they are a lil Bad ppl. You said we should ask u. So thats why i am asking👍

      They are aware, you cannot hide what you cannot see. When he says they see nothing wrong with what they are doing, why do they hide it? If you believe what's said here then an NPD doesn't have enough planning and self awareness to organise crossing the road. Always remember that NPDs don't want to blame anyone they only want to be faultless, because if they have a fault then the black and white thinking kicks in and then they start devaluing themselves

    Does a narcissistic injury / ignited (or cold) fury equals negative fuel? If so, would repeated narcissistic injuries whilst not providing any (or minimal) fuel dissuade a mid-ranger from seeking contact/interaction? I guess the real question is whether this would constitute a form of 'pain conditioning' that could work on a person with NPD keeping him/her away.

  • @chrissmith7069

    Hg, Using your example regarding the mid ranger and the telephone calls to the wife.
    He paints her black due to being wounded by her (lack of attention?) because she did not returned his calls then he views her through a black lens.
    Why would he be incapable of saying "I called you a few times today but couldn't get hold of you?" would that be his paranoia ?
    Also, if these mid, upper mid rangers are intelligent then surely they can see how they act, respond and treat others?

    • @KnowingtheNarcissist
      @KnowingtheNarcissist  6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      1. The narcissism won't let the narcissist state that because as I explained in the video the narcissism causes the narcissist to see the spouse through a black lens and therefore the 'reasonable' response you have written is not an option. The narcissist has to provoke to assert superiority again.
      2. No, this is the common mistake victims make through such an assumption. Again, you are looking at the situation from YOUR perspective (entirely understandable of course) but from the narcissist's perspective he sees it differently. It is about differing PERSPECTIVES and those perspectives are nothing to do with intelligence. Your emotional thinking makes you think 'he is intelligent, he must surely see he is wrong' so you keep trying to persuade and influence (and thus you continue to engage with the narcissist and feed your own addiction - which is what your ET wants you to do) .

    • @chrissmith7069
      @chrissmith7069 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you Hg for replying.
      I'd like to ask another question, at what point does the partner get painted black?
      Using your phone call as reference, he rings once and no response, he rings a second time and still no response, then it hears nothings back from her.
      Would the criticism /wounding start to take an effect after the first phone call or would it be later on after he has heard nothing?
      This may seem like an odd question to ask although I am trying to break it down step by step to fully appreciate and understand this perspective.
      If after the first phone call he gets no response and the wounding takes place would it not be fair to say that there would be a l(let's call it) shift in mind set?
      This shift in mind set (painted black) has an effect on the narcissist and the out come is a negative one.
      So........
      A, When this shift in mind set occurs is it something that can be felt in side the mind or the narcissist (an awareness)
      B, When this shift in mind set occurs it is a completely automated response caused by the conditioning and survival mechanisms put in place from childhood?

      When that happen, actually the other one is the "victim" (lesser dominant) of the other. Similar analogy with gay partners, they are both males, but one is the "male" (dominant), the other is "female" (submissive).

But I think he is the narcissist and I attract these kinds of people bc my father and mother are both narcissists. My whole damn family is.

      They know society, other people consider their actions wrong - hence hidden behaviours and the façade, but they do not accept they are wrong because of the rejection of accountability - listen to the video again to see the difference, it can be very subtle in some instances. The fear of hell as you describe is part of the façade.
