Thank you so for explaining this topic so clearly.
I have recently encountered someone who I now understand through your explanation is a covert narcissist.
This video has truly me understand this person better now.
November is the month of toxic relationships so I'm going to be posting more videos on that topic. Stay tuned! 😉
And of course thank you for your kind words! ❤️
Good video and explanation! I've connected so many of the topics mentioned in the video to my past relationship.
In Specially, silence treatment, there would be 2/3 days where contact would remain on single words, or none at all, after something went bad (more like not the way she wanted).
And during those periods, she'd be "normal" when friends were around and turn 180° when we left and were alone. Not talking at all, angry/closed face all back.
I reached out several times but this just wouldn't change. Not to mention all the other things I've noticed.
Got me really confused during that period. And so until i took the best decision ive made in that 1 year relationship... finish it and let it be.
Well, its experience and ive learned what not to tolerate.
Silent treatment can be two things: either the person is too overwhelmed or scared to share the hurt that they experience or they want to punish the other person.
We know it's the first case, when we approach them and we create some safety and they lean in and soften.
We know it's the second case, when despite our attempts to repair what has happened, they remain in their initial tactic, the silent treatment.
There is always a reason for a behavior, but it should never be used as an excuse for abuse.
Thank you for sharing here! I hope you are at a safer and happier place in your life 😊
Thank you for this explaination, also because covert narcissists are rarely talked about.
I know! That's the second reason why they go unnoticed ;-) (the first is that they are covert) Thank you for your nice words and comment, Barbara!
I was in a 4 year relationship with someone who was one because at the time I was working in shift work we both lived apart for the first 2 years then she lived with me in my apartment for 8 months with 2 teenage boys and two adults we planned to move out and rented a house in the first 3 months I discovered her sister moved in to help with expenses and the boys. But I quickly discovered that things weren’t not as they seemed and a lot of hidden activities were going on. It took a lot for me to end the
Relationship and come to terms with it. Three years later I am stronger
It's indeed extremely hard to leave people who have misled us (to say the least), because by the time we discover it, they have already damaged our self-worth and self-image to such degree that we feel incomplete without them. Be proud of finding the courage and the strength to leave that relationship and any other relationship that didn't serve you or made you feel worthy of love and care! 😊
Wonderful information and you express it so clearly🙏❤️🩹 Thank you
It warms my heart to hear that you found it useful! I'll create more on this topic 😉 Make sure to subscribe so that you don't miss them! 🌻
Great video! This channel deserves way more subs 👌
We are already grateful we have followers like you ❤️ Thank you for your kind words! 🙏
Thank you for this!! This is my husband to a tee!! Everything I try I can’t even talk to him . He shuts me up every time
I am so sorry to hear that. Have you tried couples counseling? I have seen many couples who one partner is showing narcissistic traits, but as I usually inform them, narcissism is a spectrum, and one can have traits but not necessarily be a severe case of narcissism. In those cases, counseling helps a lot to build more relationship skills, such as empathy, compassion, understanding, and connect the couple in a healthy and balanced way. Also, a course that you may do together, might bring you closer. Check AntiLoneliness, we have lots of options for you. In any case, I wish all the best for you!
@@vassiasar thank you so much for the reply!!💗 yes, We started couples counselling. But it’s hard, he shuts down and doesn’t speak much. I speak too much. It’s hard to get the councillors to understand our situation. I am on you website AntiLoneliness, and learning new things everyday 🤗
@@diane1082 wow, Diane! I know it's hard, it takes time because we are trying to change patterns that have been there for decades! I am glad that my videos are helpful. Stay tuned, I have more on relationships coming ;-)
Very helpful video! Thank you for all your effort!♡
Thank you for your kind words!
In many of these, I hear the words "he and him" but to be fair women can be narcissist too, I know I dated one.
I agree. Women can be narcissist as well. I hope I tried to equally use he, she and they. Sorry if it wasn't 100% equally distributed.
Don,of course women can be narcissist too,i have a collegue at work.
Most covert narcissists usually are female while probably the overt is usually male.
When I Google something like.. "she discarded, she did this or that to me", Google shows me nothing but what "'He' did etc"
To be honest I’ve never encountered a male covert narcissist the ones I met were all female.
from some of the stuff she is saying,i wonder what she thinks of the meetoo feminist u see today?u notice all these psychologist that talk about this topic never tackle it from a societal view point.
Thank you! How do you know if someone is a manipulator or a covert narcissist? What are the key differences?
The way I see it is that baking a narcissist is the umbrella that covers different strategies and one of them is manipulation. So you can't have a narcissist without manipulation, but you can have a manipulator who isn't a narcissist. I hope it makes sense 😊
