      Hello Danish really liked your video . Wish I had done this first . Mine smear started at begin of covid cos abuse narc neighbour. I saw the rage once I started ignoring is tactics and more less saying no by putting up boundaries . It's still going on but I'm going out . It's awful and worrying time . I have been triangulated as well .it certainly touches truama from childhood because I think similar happen when child but I did not know what was going on . Not understand it . I always thought narsist. Was about vanity . I do think the bit about love self helps .

      He has a smear campaign against me with my daughter (when he isn’t narc abusing them). he has smeared me in court and outside of it by attacking my Disability (I have Multiple Sclerosis) and has started a smear campaign at their school but they are well aware of his abuse and have protected themselves since kindergarten. He didn’t want custody at all but will attack everything I do as a mother to raise a child (doctor choices, hair cuts, clothing, school grades, everything is my fault but he hasn’t actually raised our child at all, just has a visitation schedule).
      I have managed to implement many techniques for the past 8 years and now have very little contact with him but smearing and ruining important events is his favorite game. With my child, his favorite games are different and I am trying my best to help them too. It doesn’t change the night terrors, panic attacks or feeling of drowning whenever he contacts me. Those still haven’t subsided. I think he also enjoys flaring my MS and seeing me sicker bc of his abuse and enjoys telling me how I messed up and tries to “replace memories” that “I never remember happening, bc remember? You have MS? You can’t think correctly? Right?”
      Thank you for your videos. When he Hoovers now, I simply go to your Instagram and watch your videos and it helps a lot, especially when it’s happening in the moment and you need a sound voice. If there are any videos on how to co parent and also support and protect your child, I would appreciate the guidance.

      My ex and his family tried to turn our daughter against me. They've pretty much succeeded. She's grown now and I don't see her or my grandson very often. It breaks my heart, but there's not much I can do. It's been a long hard road out of hell... but when she turned 18, I was finally able to block him everywhere and cut ties with his family completely. Now, I just have to deal with a toxic work situation. It never ends...

      Yes but see the BIGGER picture is they were planning and plotting exactly what they were going to say in the smear campaign they knew exactly who they are going to start manipulating first in the smear campaign because all of these things are being conjured up during those sporadic moments of the silent treatment, they are fabricating lies to ensure that they're flying monkeys catch an earful, especially the good stories where you have told them something that may have been painful that you experienced and you confided in them and they turn it around and they make it horrible horrible thing and unbeknownst to us, they go straight behind our back to our family members and they will tell them flat-out bold-faced lies to where we are looking at ourselves and our family members are looking at us like damn are y'all crazy the manipulative tactics are far beyond the basic he said she said,WHEN A FAMILY MEMBER SIBLINGS KNOWS YOU AND YOU HAD A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP UPBRINGING AND GOT ALONG BETTER THAN ANY OTHER,AND THEY QUESTION WHAT WAS HEARD OR TOLD TO THEM BY THE NARC,OH NO THAT LOOK ON THE FACE OF OUR LOVED ONE HAS THE AUDACITY TO ACTUALLY HAVE ANY CAPACITY FILLING THEIR HEADSPACE, TO EVEN QUESTION US,OR BETTER YET,we share something with the Narc about a family or friend I'm confidence right we may not even realize they remembered UNTIL YOU HEAR THAT PERSON CONFRONTING YOU ASKING WHY THE HELL DID U TELL MY BUSINESS I TOLD YOU N ONLY YOU,NOW MY EX TOOK THAT INFO TWEAKING IT MAKING IT SOUND LIKE NOT ONLY DID I SHARE THE INFO,BUT I DOWNPLAYED IT N MADE IT SOUND WORSE OR DISGUSTING,

    @cesarmiguelpimentel1040 2 ปีที่แล้ว +147

    The problem I've heard is that usually the "victim" becomes aware of the smear campaign problem too late. By then, the narcissist probably has already recognized your awareness and have initiated the campaign ahead of you, warning people about the fact that you may contact them to "smear" him/her (the narcissist). So your anti-smear campaign may backfire on you and be counterproductive. It's a very delicate issue.

      I agree. Unfortunately, your "doing nothing" is probably the best thing to do. If people are ready to believe in airless words, rather than in facts, there is nothing you can do. I had people apologize 10, 20 years later. Does it feel satisfactory? Hell no. But you have to accept that victory can be a completely anti-climactic process.

    Thanks for sharing your perspective. There is an important point that I would like to make on the subject based on my expereince as a victim of both narcissistic abuse and smear campaigns. It is worth noting that any friend or relative that has known you for years yet fell for lies of your narcissistic partner must be someone that secretly hates you or someone that has narcissistic traits himself or herself. That could even be a sibling or close friend. Any good person would want to hear your side of story first. That means that trying to make them believe you is a total waste of time. The fact that you became a victim of narcissistic abuse could mean that there are chances someone in your family was narcissitic and that caused your codependacy. In fact narcissists know this and will use those members of your family to harm you further. I have analysed the behaviour of many enablers and concluded that they are very narcissistic hence they lack empathy or understanding

      The problem is that the narcissist has the ability to suck people into their thought realm - and to forget the truth they already knew. The narcissist has brainwashing ability - and can cause people to lower their standards of how they treat people - and to go against all that they used to believe in.

  • @CrazyJamaicanCook
    @CrazyJamaicanCook 2 ปีที่แล้ว +35

    I don't think people should conduct any kind of smear in retaliation to a smear. It means you are sinking to the same depths of evil where narcissists reside. Take the high road and show that you are unbothered.... Be the sort of person who does not care about what other people think. You shouldn't have to "explain" who you are to anyone. Your light shines through via your actions. People who believe bad things about other people they don't know lack maturity anyway, and you don't need more of that in your life.

      @CrazyJamaicanCook, It is not to “smear” them on the same level, it is to come to people you trust and say hey there’s some turbulence in the relationship right now and don’t believe everything you hear. Tell your trusted one how valuable your relationship means to you. Maybe they’ll relay what the narc says, maybe not. But believe they will make their own decision about you and the circumstance, and that’s in God’s hands. If they love, trust and believe in you, then they will stay on “your side”.

    I was a narcissist, but I wasn't the one who smear campaigned.
    I value truth, but that did not prevent me from becoming a narcissist. I got caught in the self-righteousness trap, believing I was doing what I was doing for the right reasons - but what I lacked was compassion. I know better now, and I'm learning. Haven't overcome all my narcissism. I understand why they did what they did. But making up lies against someone because you think they deserve it, is not ok.
    If you want to take down a narcissistic person, do it with the truth. It's hard for people to take you seriously about a narcissist when they discover you're lying.

      The narcissist always plays the victim to extract sympathy from everyone that even might hint at liking you, and everyone in you and their circle.. They steal away everyone because they are envious of all people, and you must be isolated from others so they the narcissist only can shine and control you. He or she is the selfish one. They don't want you to have anything or anyone at all just for yourself. They have to control you with force if necessary, even when you make wise decisions for yourself. They don't love you and love doesn't hurt. You must leave the narcissist even when you are hopeful that he will change over time. Why ? It's plain and simple that you are throwing pearls before swine and Bible admonishes us not to do that. They became a fixed personality type when very young. Their character is of a bad quality. Listen to the Phds experts in NPD on You Tube. Then decide for yourself.

      I can only add, that they want to recruit flying monkeys.
      And courts can become an appendage of flying monkeys, especially in Nanny States where the state prosecutes sometimes without even the knowledge of the victims. DA's in Nanny States like California (e.g. the state acts sometime independently but allegedly on the Accuser's behalf) should have training to spot Narcissistic Abuse before prosecuting phoney claims. Additionally, the state or jurisdiction prosecuting should really contact the Victim, so the Victim is aware of potential backlash from the State or County prosecuting the crime.
      You would think it would be obvious.

    My narcissist and I had a large group of people that we were involved with. I was an emotional wreck in my relationship but I kept it a secret to protect him. I didn't know that he really wanted me to keep it a secret because he was getting involved in the other people in our group, and they believed he was "available", whereas I thought we were an item. Just take my word for it: it was a mess. One day, I had to tell SOMEONE, so I told a girlfriend whom I thought I could trust. She gasped and put her hand on her mouth and said, "So YOU'RE the one who ruined his life". I instantly realized that was what he had told everyone in the group. and the whole group was poisoned against me. As soon as she said that, I said, "Good-bye", and I left the group gathering, and never spoke to one member from there ever again. And, come to think of it, not ONE of those people ever sought me out to see what happened to me. I just disappeared and they didn't miss me.

    When you emerge from a narcissist relationship, and you are destroyed and destitute, crying all the time, can't think straight, scared of your own shadow, like a whipped dog, and the narcissists is out there happy, and shining like the sun, it is easy to convince everyone else, that you were the destructive, unstable, crazy person that THEY were "putting up with". As they slowly destroyed you, you lost your mind more and more, and anyone on the inside realized that YOU had a problem, but since you had to keep it a secret, no one know that the problem was the narcissist. And then he continues to let you know that he is going to hurt you, or kill himself, or buddy up to your children, or show up at all your special spots to prevent you from going there, which just keeps the abuse going.

      Thank God that I still have amazing wonderful friends who always support me. They clearly see the cruelty of the narcissist. As you suggested, I don’t need to say much.

It was a painful experience when I was 19 and nobody was talking about this phenomenon. I just followed my gut and cut off all communication with the narcissists.

    My sister was emotionally abused by her charming narcissist for many years. Finally she left. I never did like him (he was a butt to us too), but I had kept my opinion to myself. One day she met me for lunch sobbing about everything and I told her that she could come and live with me. She was surprised that I didn't like him, because I was always nice around him and never told her what I thought of him. Later, her adult son called me and asked what was going on. I figured she had moved out so it was no longer a secret so I told the son how emotionally abuse the narcissist had been to her and the rest of the family. Her son said, "Now I understand. You hated him and you talked her into leaving him, and he did nothing wrong!" And the son stopped talking to me.

      The son will eventually figure it out for himself. Never forget that the truth never needs defending. It is up to each individual to believe it or not believe it. Stand by the truth and let others walk in darkness until they're ready to see the light. Some people can't or won't see the light because the truth is too painful. These people need prayers and to be accepted as such. Life is a world of discovery and lessons. Best of luck to you and your sister.

    I'm a nobody, just your average American woman and widow of 12 years in August. What this man has done to my once respected name. I'm embarrassed to go out to walk the dog or go get milk. I'm being bullied by the public and I have very good reason to believe that he's put up sex videos of me and him the internet. No lawyer will even talk to me. I'm being laughed at in stores almost to my face. I gave up. I keep finding myself explaining myself to certain people and therapists and I'm not getting through to anyone. I shouldn't have to do that and the only one to judge me should only be God because He knows the truth. I just pray several times a day and surrender it all to God. There isn't anything I can do anymore, so I give it to God. The damage is done it's irreparable and irreversible since it's all over the internet.

      Just go about your life as usual and don't worry about the sex video. The vast majority of people have sex, it's not a sin. To counter this sex video, start filming yourself doing other mundane tasks like brushing your teeth, hanging out your laundry, taking the rubbish out... because these are also ordinary things almost everyone else does too, and then when you see the people laughing at you, ask them if they've seen your other videos as well.

    My mom ran a smear campaign against me for three years before she died. To this day, my siblings don't talk to me. They think I'm a mean bitch. All because I stood up to my selfish narcissistic mother and finally put her in her place ( best thing I ever did for myself). Then I went no contact during which time she raged her smear campaign against me. Now I have no way to defend myself. My brother and sisters hate me and won't speak Ill of the dead. My mom continues to control them from the grave.

      I'm crazy since I can remember (4 years old), how funny one of my sisters dumped her son on me for years to take care of him while she was working, attending classes and being successful in her career.

    You should develop social skills and do your best to make as many friends as possible. When people know you and your side of the story, it will be much harder to smear you. If you are an introvert, this can be challenging. But believe me, people can tell who is genuine. You just have to give them a chance to get to know you. Few dumb/willfully ignorant people may not believe you, but it's still worth telling your side. When Narcissists repeat their behavior, people will begin to see the pattern and remember what you told them.

    We did not have common friends and he has never met my family as they all live over 2000 miles away from us. Even though I think he would have to smear me to his inner circle in order to justify leaving me, I will never know because they ( his inner circle) are not or ever have been in my inner circle except for one guy who is the only person common to both of us that I ever seen without my Narc by my side, that my narc told that we had just got a marriage license earlier that day. ( Feb 2020) He (my narc) never told anybody else. I really liked this guy ( the friend) a lot..he is a true aweerheart.. I told him why we ( me and Narc) are not getting married and I think he feels the pain for me..but I also told him if he ever sees the Narc again to stay in friendship..I am just venting..and I was because these people liked seeing us together and that we made a good couple and thought he was a great guy, but I was also saying my goodbyes and explaining why I may never see them again. AKA my own semi smear campaign. just to release poison if nothing else. I also wrote letters to his flying monkeys praising them and the Narc and saying good bye and thanking them for their friendship and the devoted friendship to the Narc. A letter they never expected particularly after a smear campaign. I took the high road//made disconnecting easier for me.. He does have a close friend that speaks worse about him then I do because my narc dated his mother many many moons ago and this friend says he did the same thing to his mother as he has done to me and done to other woman. We are in our 60s, but he stays friends, I have never asked him to do otherwise but he knows not to tell me things I don't want to know, and he doesn't and I told him I would never tell the Narc what ge has told me and I never have. But he never tell the narc either what he really thinks about him, therefore he is somewhat a fying monkey. So I don't care about a smear compaign really, because of the reason stated above no common friends hardly to worry about what hey know... I am trying to move on..I could care less..

And trust me people will see who the trouble maker bully is because these people love to gossip and no one really likes a gossip, and if your lucky enough to leave the narcissist behind for example move home job etc, give it a few years and write a simple direct letter to as many people that the narcissist knows telling them of the bully narcissistic behaviour and how the narc has wronged them as well because sadly karma isn’t always served by god and these demonic creatures go on destroying many innocent peoples lives ❤

    I'm a proud Sigma and awaken Super Empath💪. I was so unconscious of my natural powers before. Thank you nrcs!🌷 I'm not a victim at all & narcs had always hard time with me, doesn't matter how much involved I was and what kind of relation it was. I don't give a monkey if someone going to far. But I'm that kind of person that I'm able to dessappear anytime if I'm not happy or not well treated. Doesn't matter if it's about places, people or work. I know who I am, what is right, what is wrong, what I deserve. Low standards, unjustice and bad energy is not acceptable to me. In my life I used to deal with few types of narcs and with one criminal sociopat as well. The last one were running away from me with shaked a*s. I'm not rude or agressive but I can be two times worst than that kind of creatures if I want. In my opinion, depend on situation, with narc smear campaign You can: 1) Stand up for yourself. With that you should switch off emotions (as much as possible ofcourse), switch on logic, plan your moves like a chess master. And be yourself, don't play any role. The truth will be heard. 2) Ignore it and live your life. Be yourself. Let people choose what they want to believe. Watch a natural selection of people around you. You will see who is your real soulmate, who will come to you. Learn, analise, take your lessons, grow, work with your self-esteam and core-identity, heal. Do something nice for yourself. Go with no contact (Necessary for most of Empaths to heal). Everything is for something. Our experiences creates us. After all I'v got, I'm not affraid of them and I'm happy I had them on my path. Thanks to them I'm stronger than ever and I'm a better version of myself. I believe it's a normal proces with all Empaths who has to deal with narcs. If you will survive that, if you will stay strong, you will get only stronger. You will survive. Just be brave, my friends💪❤💪❤💪❤ God bless you❤️

    People need to realize that if happy, confident people say bad things about someone, it's not necessarily true because a happy, confident person must be right. In my case, an old school teacher was even visited to tell disturbing stories about me and unfortunately she immediately sided with the smear campaigner. My impression is that they try it first with people who don't know you very well. I think the whole village I grew up in now thinks I'm a terrible evil creature. I don't mind.

    Do narcissists who know you try to destroy you together? I was scapegoated by my mother at around 6. She really hated me As a teen she was always on the phone. I thought she was talking about my bone disease and I walked by and said "will you stop talking about me!" As an adult It was clear she was smear campaigning me. I married the man she wanted me to marry who is a narcissist and it has been hell ever since. My mother died a few months ago and it has been incredibly stressful. She always made my daughter and think that she was practically broke-we never thought that their was any will and I never had any relationship with my brothers who went to college and left the state. I ended up finding out that I am in the will and she was very wealthy. My older brother who got to know my daughter and me wanted me to divorce my husband and after her death calling and asking "Are you done with your doctor and dentist appointments". "I have to get a cleaning then I'll be done." "Well hurry up, I am waiting for moms lawyer to call and I will let you know when he does." I called my mothers lawyer a few weeks later and he was concerned that he hadn't heard anything from my brothers. My older brother refuses to answere my calls and it has been 2 months since my mothers death. My daughter tried to kill herself last night and she is in a place for 3 days. We just want to get out of this toxic environment and we are beginning to lose hope for the future. Narcissitic abuse is never ending and no laughing matter!

    Sometimes we can afford to loose. Because the narcissist didn’t think about 1. TIME its effects. 2. FEELINGS things change. I. E. Attitudes and outlook. Example. What’s important to me today might be gone tomorrow. By no choice mind you. Unfair consequences may incur. 3. UNKNOWNS these really boggle a narcissistic person. They just can’t figure out all the details ahead of time. And time heals wounds. Meaning, they can make us feel like crap today, whereas tomorrow they might fail.

    Hmm. It's maybe worth considering a few things before using this strategy.
    1. Your true friends won't need buffering before they hear nonsense about you
    2. So what you'd be doing with this strategy is activating your own campaign to salvage superficial relationships in your life. And
    3. Narcissistic people who aren't aware of themselves would be using this exact same rationale to justify what we'd be calling a smear campaign when they do it and damage control when we do it.
    To me, the advice in this video seems like a surefire way to get caught up in the web of drama a narcissistic person aims to cause in your life. It might be better to take your power back instead. You can let the narcissistic person in your life who's trying to run a smear campaign against you do the work for you as they weed out the superficial relationships you really don't need anyway if you're intending to live more authentically post-abuse.

    I've stopped trying to defend myself. People will think what they want to think. Now I am just holding my head high and remember who I am. Funk those flying monkeys!

    I like what you said here. At work I wrote my boss a letter outlining how a smear campaign meeting went. But I want you to know I left that job soon after as I did not see any way forward for me. I never regretted that departure.

    I had a smear campaign against me at work, by my covert narc ex. The first sign was that some managers/co-workers were treating me differently. I knew that my narc had been feeding half-truths to these people. The thing about narcs is that they ALWAYS slip up, and I knew that would be the case with mine. Sure enough, 2 years later, my division head pulls me in for a chat and says "_____ would like you to respect their boundaries", to which I laid it ALL out. What actually happened was that, after 2 years no-contact, my narc ex initiated a conversation with me in front of other colleagues, to which I responded neutrally and then went about my day. They cried wolf to their manager, and their manager took it to my division head, which is something they probably weren't expecting. They then omitted the fact that they approached me. I called it out. They were shut down, and their flying monkeys were spoken to. My work relationships have drastically improved since. The thing that worked for me was giving no reaction and INTENTIONALLY NOT DEFENDING MYSELF UNTIL IT WAS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. I let them run with their narrative until they slipped up.

    What do you do when they go to family,convince people in the community your a bad person, or did wrong,then family know they are abusing,and isolating you,keeping you from your career, coercive control,but they all somehow believe the person is just trying to get justice, they actually protect them by gaslighting me,and denying knowing anything about it,never spoken too about anything, I don't believe there allowed to,very frustrating, and a nightmare situation.

    Good advice on the surface but deep down the reality is that a thorough narcissist will start with her best friends, then go her side of family, then together with those flying monkeys trap the kids and you loose all of them. You can drop her family, drop friends (n loose yours too) but kids? Please don’t try to explain yourself it will fire back n just be yourself n kids will slowly get back. Rest can go to hell, good riddance!!

    Fortunately, for me, my close relatives did not believe the narcissist. One called me and told me what was being said. I was flabbergasted. This was my sister. It hurt. I explained what had actually happened and they believed me, saying they had noticed my sister had always been jealous of me and, that lately, she had become vicious. It still hurts.

    It’s all about value. Turn your attention and energy inwards and to people who are your people.
    And keep a record book of the flying monkeys. Remember that they believed the narcissist lies over your truth.
    Whenever they reach out for your help, don’t come running to them. Remind them that they were on the narcissist side. And for that reason alone, they are dead to you.

    Forgiving a narcassist is not easy at least for me. I tried various times that I should forgive my father when others family elders insured on me. Several times I said verbally to others and myself too that yes I forgave him but after few days the pain again emerged and I trashed that forgiveness. Especially when he is not ready to even accept any of his sin. So forgiving a narcassist is a betrayal u did to ur self. I did it many times. But somehow I did not find a closure. I found a desire a string desire of karma type revenge especially after realising my mother psychological murder he did and same pattern repeating with me. Why I m waiting for his bad time. This wait keeps me somehow connected with him.

    My narc husband wanted control of the money I inherited from my father. He is a very good actor and he went on telling the friends that he's not keeping well, that he was 70 yrs old and I am not sharing my money with him. All of them came to ask me whst I wanted to do with the money if you can't buy comfort for the family.

      @drnirjasheth, tell them that it is none of their business, you are considering things, and when you come to a decision that you will act upon it. I’m glad your father’s money is in your name. Use it well. ☮️
