    They get you to question yourself. They discredit you. And then you focus all your time on trying to please them. But by doing that you’re neglecting yourself, by catering to them. They’re not encouraging you to improve anything about yourself. They’re training you to make everything about them. And of course that is not going align with what’s best for you. It’s your insecurities that keep you stuck with them, which is why they make you insecure.

      Bingo and what is so utterly disgusting !🤢
      When the more overtly dense VN narcissist gave away the fact that she / they knew exactly what they do, she flipped a long standing narrative into a re write and flipped script.
      The shift tactic was so unbelievably audacious and shameless behaviour and it exposed her more. It exposed that she was so clueless as to be coached by the more overt narcissist and sociopath that it exposed her fake apology
      - a long game con
      And I was still putting together what the fk happened to me and being able to understand it was hidden abuse . So I stood frozen unable to speak I also began to understand how they distort, twist, manipulate any reaction . So my kids did not fully comprehend why I was taking the hits and insults and not defending myself.
      I walk my talk so by not inviting the person back into my home my actions spoke volumes but I went through a lot - with a subsequent smear which took me years to understand and move past it
      . I cut out toxic and deal with things much better
      Yet it it is mind boggling how much they “ rationalize” abuse to protect their own fragile ego. ❤

      @@clericoflight476impossible because it is a double standard in a double bind. Narcissists can not live up to their own standards or expectations and why they objectify others, gas light and project an image - of themselves as something they are not as they age they become more overt in their abuse ( more desperate ) and often fear end up being alone. Unlike us narcissists are terrified of being left alone .
      They pull their antics so that others their targets we will set themselves on fire to keep them warm ( and then pretend it is the other way around)
      And to you they will not only claim it is not good enough but complain as they dust off the ashes from your smouldering body ( because it left a stain on their new suit or dress )
      Narcissists double standards stem from their delusional false reality - know your own reality and stand firm in boundaries 😉🫶

      Dr. Ramini talks the talk because she's walked the walk. She knows exactly what she's talking about. She has helped me wake up and see what he has been doing to me. I'm now on my way out. I've known this narcissist for 51 years. And after 40 years of no contact I was contacted by a family member who told me his brother (a friend) committed suicide. So that opened the door and the last 7 years has been an on and off nightmare. He's made me homeless with a future fake. He's said he loves me and in the next breath accused me of being with other people. It's sad and disgusting and Dr. Ramini has helped me to snap out of that trauma bond. I can't afford therapy so this is how I cope. I'm actually leaving him today. There is no fixing someone who doesn't see anything wrong with how they treat others
      And most of all when you point it out things get worse and the older a narcissist gets the meaner and selfish they get. Theres no way to communicate with a narcissist.

    They say they love you but they disrespect your time and emotions and leave you hanging so that you never know what they are thinking or doing resulting in emotional insecurity. No openness is tragic and guessing games are not fun. If you tell them the truth they retreat and will not talk a no win situation. What you said before about being ignored as a child and being reprimanded for being you has a lot of basis for how you are treated in adulthood and what you expect back from others. I have always battled against injustice yet allowed a narcissist to control me for 19 years, few of those living with the nasty, cruel man and when I tunnelled out and got my own home he hated it not accepting blame for his actions. Impossible to live with.

It takes a full decade to recover from their emotional terrorism and cancer, they are an emotional cancer that ends with your complete devastation.

    Being with my ex narc for the past 8 yrs. made me observe this very pattern. I think they wanted to feel very important in a way that is disturbing. Instead of building trust with their intimate partners, they destroy the trust that they built with you (in that case lying when they tried to put you in their pedestal). Once they have a committed partner, they can’t stand being loved authentically by one person. Instead they go on and prey on other women that is susceptible to their love bombing. My ex narc was a compulsive pursuer in a relationship. He would go back and forth to the women he were involved before or try to meet women in complicated situation so that going public isn’t an option while having you as their main supply. In the end they destroy the very person that loved them. They are like toddlers testing your love for them. Showing and telling them you love them isn’t enough, they will cheat on your face to make you feel inadequate even if you are more than they deserve. They want to test your love for them so they keep hurting you and when you have enough of their abuse, you leave. Then they tell you, ‘you never loved me because you abandon me’. Well in fact it’s their actions and narcissistic behavior that made you leave or in other cases they discard you and will give silly reasons of the discard. Mine would use, ‘she’s crazy’, ‘she’s a nega-star’, ‘she insults me’, ‘she cheated on me’ et al. So with this pattern of infidelities and emotional abuse (who knows what else) it’s better to walk away. I did walk away and is now rebuilding my life with our daughter. We are struggling financially because I’m not earning enough to provide for my daughter but now we get to laugh and bring with us sunshine every day. No lies, no abuse and no fake love. We only live once, forgive yourself and move forward but never forget the lesson that narc abuse taught you. That is to respect yourself to walk away from what’s hurting and destroying you. That you deserve a life of solitude, happiness and love. Hugs*** :) Additionally I got to know about my narc husband bad ways when I reach out to a private detective digitalinvestigate@gmail. com for help he did a perfect work for me I can see everything he’s doing on his device.

    I ended up in an alcohol treatment center at 32. I lived and held a very good job in CT at the time and my family lived in NJ. My company supported me, had made all the arrangements and insurance paid for most of the cost. Months after I got sober my mother stated that I had embarrassed the family because of going into the treatment center. I said I live out of state no one needed to even know I was there, you did not have to tell anyone. Her response was "Of course I did". I knew better than to pursue that conversation any further.

    It's hard to escape that vortex and reset yourself especially if it's been ingrained into you by your narcissistic mother from day 1 when you came into this world
    Going no contact is detoxing and allowing you to see reality for what it is

    🤯 My mind is blown! Dr. Romani, I have been watching your videos for a couple years now and own your book. All have been so helpful to me as I am a child of an overbearing narcissistic mother and kind, but spineless father, and big sister who is the meanest flying monkey, and two other siblings who are caught up in it all as well. I have been no contact for many years. I was even disowned by my horrible mother from 2008-2014. I struggle every day because, although I am so relieved by being no contact, I suffer from a very intense combination of guilt and anger. I recently started to see a trauma therapist and the healing journey is beginning for me. It is uncomfortable because so much is coming up.
    This video on debasement is spot on for me and my convoluted relationship with my mother in particular- and some closer friendships/boyfriends in the past. I need to deprogram myself. That is the word!
    I will save this video and listen to it a few more times to really let it all sink in. Thank you for sharing some personal references as well. I am grateful for your words and inspiration. Please keep up the good work. We need and appreciate your help.
    (It IS fucked up btw. Correct phrasing and the f word is required!)

    Also the part about them feeling like they love you when you debase yourself. I’ve struggled with this feeling of “pseudolove” I feel like they “loved me” (my parents) but it wasn’t real. They just didn’t know it. So you spend years feeling like somethings wrong but you don’t know what it is. And now that my parents are passed there’s no way to share it with relatives or friends. It’s a private source of suffering. If you share you risk being shut down. So it takes a ton of energy either way. I feel like my brain body and spirit have taken a lot of knocks in life. You cross certain thresholds and your body just isn’t the same anymore.

I met a guy recently who gave me similar vibes, like he had to be better and in control so started to minimize me, so I didn’t get involved with him and now he’s with someone 20 years younger then him that he can be ‘superior’ to and have control over.

    I can't recall a single compliment or remotely positive feedback from my parents (even to this day) or my ex-Narc. It's easy to see how that could have shaped me into someone who debases herself, and to some extent, it did. But it also shaped me into someone who looks for qualities in herself, who's clear on her pluses and minuses, and intentionally counters the damage done to her children by their Narc parent. I might not have heard anything nice growing up or in my marriage, but my children will know their worth. I feel that although I was shaped by darkness, I was born to bring light.

    Thank you for this much needed information, Dr. Ramani. This is so painfully true. I will need to deprogram. It's been so many years. I appreciate your descriptive knowledge and empathy. Bless you.

    My wife told me “Do you know how difficult it is for me to say that I am sorry??” And I asked why is it so hard? And she said “I dont know and I wish you would get over it and wish you could just sense that I am sorry.” That is the wildest thing I have ever heard.

    This is exactly what I've been doing for almost my entire life after growing up with a narcissistic sister and was the family scapegoat. Thanks to you Doctor Ramani I'm learning how to love my entire self and release the constraints I've put on myself. Putting my face in the mud, yep, that's what I've been doing to myself, and by extension to other people by projection. It is my obligation to stop debasing myself so that I don't debase others.

    I’m a 26 year old male that’s been listening to you for the past year now, and you just have this magical power to speak right to your audience. I know it’s because you have many years of clinical experience helping people, but I still can’t get over how magical it feels to listen to someone that has no idea who I am, or my situation. And yet, you’re able to describe some of my worst fights and moments in my marriage with such accuracy. I’m not trying to bring down my wife, it takes two to tango, and I definitely have my own parts to play in some of our issues. It’s just magical though nonetheless hearing how “right on the money” you are, and you have no clue about my history our problems.
    Thank you so much Dr. Ramani for these videos, they’ve truly helped me with learning to be mindful. And to look at my own actions and listening to how someone else could interpret what I’ve done. I’m very grateful for you, so much. (You also look eerily similar to my mom, so idk, your voice hits extra home for me I guess xD.)

    I haven’t heard this term before and I very much understood your metaphors to describe the situation. I recognize that my relationship with my mother is the starting point in how I approached my own relationships. How I was debased and debased myself for the love and attention from the narcissist, only for them to manipulate and gaslight me, and I lost my power, my light. I knew they were wrong, I just didn’t understand how I was letting that happen. Thank you for talking about this.

    This is an extremely important video and key information! The damage is also magnified when you are a member of any subgroup identified by the society at large as ‘inferior’. The narcissistic family thrives by keeping a scapegoat debased and will incessantly knock one back when that ‘designated loser’ takes the smallest step forward. Sadly, the internalized dynamic continues even into adulthood.

    You're on to something here Doc.
    Debasement is the only dance in town..
    It is the base of every aspect of an npd relationship - theirs, ours or bystanders...
    No matter how you try to tackle their childish games it will always be you that is left to feel bad...
    This is gold....

    Especially when you are debased as a child. To top it off, he asked me to spy on my mother and report to him. I was less than 8 years old.

    I debased myself to two people just today! Geez. This is a really good one, Dr. Ramani. It is deprogramming to not do this automatically. Thank you for helping me see even more clearly. It hurts at first and I feel shame but eventually, I am a bit more healed. My gold gets purified.
