      They're not well ppl sad really never authenticly true loving... Imaging that, going round in cycles, with one person then the next. No introspection from the last realashionip..its obvious they weren't nurtured properly growing up.. Most ppl hv some problems with certain growing up stuff but this seems so unhealthy..
      Anyway keep safe and learn the red flags 🎌 namaste 🙏

      Heakthy realashionips or friendship should be reciprocal thats normal.. Build each other up in life. Not cause wedges and hurtful words violent words lure you into bad stuff and lie to you. While your cooking for them washing paying etc. They lay there doing nothing in house garden.. There users.. 😭 Sociopathy is the worse person who i'v indured.. He'll be hurt one day and hv his cash taken..B4 he's nearly dying like me now... karma..
      I'm not vengfull, just it'll happen cos of him doing this to ppl. Feel sad for him. But I'm putting myself first from now on.. Definitely.. Stay strong ppl namaste 🙏

    Omg the squirreling away. “What’s mine is mine, and what’s yours is yours and mine!” It wasn’t until I started taking his bank statements (he thought he went paperless), and saw that the years leading up to the divorce he had been pulling out cash left right and center every few days. For years! While I’m clipping coupons and feeding our family from the weekly sales circular. I could go on but I won’t. They never feel they have enough. Must be a rotten core to have to take from your wife and the mother of your child. Or to be a parent sucking the life force out of your children and intentionally harming them. It’s a rotten lot, all of em. So grateful to see the playbook. I have been surrounded by them my whole life. But not anymore. Thank you for opening my eyes to the madness. It’s a toxic world out there. They feed on your light. Your light physically makes them ill, so they are on a mission to snuff it out. Oh hell no!! 🛡️🗡️💫

    The difference is easy to explain - we are authentic a narcissist is not. We can reflect ourselves and have emotional empathy. We don´t need to feel superior above others (because we like ourselves and can deal with our strengths and weaknesses).

    In my own opinion and experience, empaths do not gaslight.
    Empaths are not pathological liars.
    Empaths grow spiritually all the time.
    Empaths do not blame-shift.
    Empaths do not future fake.
    Empaths do not manipulate.
    Empaths are not controlling.
    Empaths are trustworthy and selfless.
    Empaths have a conscience and a heart.
    Empaths are loving, loyal and caring.
    Empaths follow through with commitments.
    Empaths have a heart of gold and do not give to get.
    Empaths do not torture and torment other people's souls on a daily basis.
    Etc, etc, etc.
    The narcissist is opposite in every way.

      @@sickofit5547 It’s because they see something stronger than themselves in you. It’s because they feel inferior and until they feel like they are winning, and finding relief, they can’t admit that they need to work on themselves. We can only be so strong in fighting back until something breaks, and when that does, there becomes an opportunity for them to either confront it, or run from it. A window of opportunity. If they don’t understand that they need to work on themselves, then they are clueless as to why they do what they do.

    One Professor I follow described the narcissist to a tee. They are individuals who never were able to bond with their 'mother figure.' Either due to abuse, abandonment, conditional love, or a stifling parent. The narcissist is always trying to find the "Mommy" replacement and gain an opportunity to discard new supply like his mother did to him/her.
    The narcissist as an adult is stuck in a two year old mindset. An empty shell of an adult body with the maturity level of a 2 year old. That will never change. Very dangerous. They are like AI (artificial intelligences), robots. They have no capacity to love, be empathetic or have introspection. They can only mimic. Hence the mask(s). Their ultimate goal is control and manipulation to gain whatever supply/fuel they can. They need fuel constantly. When they see potential good supply in someone, the narcissist solely works on bringing them into a shared fantasy with the final goal of discard (like his mother did to him/her). Starts with the love bombing and moves to the ultimate discard. And yes, if you think the connection is too good to be true, it is. Always. Once they have you they will continually devalue, use and abuse you. Alot of how they treat you is how they were abused, mistreated as infants/children. They don't care about your feelings or well-being. They only care about themselves, and getting constant supply from you and control.
    By taking all the tools that you have learned here on Andrew's channel and other self-study, it definitely helps you to identify these toxic individuals and know how to deal with them if you encounter one again or are presently in a relationship with one.
    Recovery from a narcissistic connection definitely takes time with good and some bad days. Everyone's healing process and timing is different. Indulge in all the self care that you can and need to help you recover, heal, grow, love and be ✨️💗😌💕

    For 3 years, the mask was so believable. The 3rd year he flipped a switch and I can vividly remember that day. We were only married 1 year at that point. It wasn't until I found your channel that I found out what the label for all these types of people in my life is. I've made a lot of changes and am a lot more picky about who I have in my life. I'm 1 year post relationship. To the newcomers, I promise you in time your heart won't hurt so badly. Your stomach won't have butterflies and knots, you won't cry when you think about the narc. You won't hate them, but you'll see in your own time the relationship for what it was, a game the narcissist played with us like we were their property and they were entitled to abuse us. You'll be free and truly understand the concept of liberation and freedom. It's a whole new world post relationship, but keep moving forward, because the hoovers just get more and more toxic. They don't change. They just change victims.

That is something I will never do or let anyone else try to hurt me in that way again.

    I realize that I was set up from birth. Obviously if you grow up with a narcissistic parent, you are going to gravitate towards what seems familiar(however toxic it might be.) Hence, the exponential relationships (romantic and friendships) I ended up in.

      Unfortunately that's all we knew. So it was the normal way of life - for us. Fortunately we have lived long enough to discover another, and more fulfilling and beautiful way of life. It does take work to realign our thinking, habitual responses and to allow ourselves to be set free from what we were groomed to become for the conveniences of the narcs. We can do it! Isn't THAT amazing!

    It actually ended up working to my advantage because I DISCOVERED who was with me and who was shaky . . . the shaky one or those who proved to be dangerous got the immediate chop.
    Unfortunately, some who tried to remain “neutral” but still maintained CONTACT with the narc also got the chop.
    When you realize how insidious the whole narc thing is, and if you have an OUNCE or love and/or respect for yourself, you STOP giving benefits of doubt and second chances and you love YOURSELF enough to ruthlessly defend your keep.
    Do NOT apologize for drawing defensive lines and holding like a pit bull TO THEM. IJS. . .

      You have just as much right to care for him as she. If you don’t take good care of him, and if your afraid she won’t, then fight. See her as she is, and don’t back down. He’s your father after all. If he is being neglected….. my grandmother did that to my grandfather. He was bedridden and forced him to abide by her every whim, or he doesn’t get to eat or get attention, left alone in a bedroom all day. This one really hurts me. Feeble and an easy target. But then if your not living there, the spite might hurt him more. So I get it. I pray for you and him.

    The biggest difference I think is that we tend to take reality head on , and try to make the best of things , we are dreamers , yet realists at the same time . However the narcissist remains in a constant state of denial about their importance , power and place in the world . If things go wrong they are far more likely to collapse , as we are actually more resilient and adaptive , the exact opposite of what the narcissist brain washed us into believing ! They want us to see ourselves as secondary , lost and weak !
    With the education we learn that this is only their false take on reality , and that we are actually much stronger freer than we ever thought !! 💪😎❤

I didn't believe in evil until finding out such a thing as narcissism exists, and it is real and it is dangerous. You will become their slave, and an unhappy mistreated one at that!

      Painful, Audrey. I brought up 2 daughters ( grown now). As expected, one was influenced along with the ex's brainwash, but the other daughter remains unmoved in her perception about things. The daughter who went along with the vilification seems to need a place/person to blame the stresses of life. It's ok- I accept and we don't communicate, but the 2nd daughter was the lifeline to affirm I wasn't the "bad guy." All you need is one friend on your side. None there? Then,
      if you know- good enough. Hold your head up and push on.

    Great video Andrew!! Ever since experiencing narcissistic abuse, I have a much different perspective on certain things, such as an opportunity for being blessed financially. It is one thing to be wealthy because that money was honestly earned, not earned by causing harm/death to others. While being wealthy is not wrong, loving it to the point in which someone views it as being more important than life itself is.
    Unfortunately, every person who I have known personally or have known that is wealthy is out of touch with reality. They are naturally very controlling and are used to getting their way when, where, and how they want to accomplish this, often leaving severe consequences for anyone in their lives and around them. The love of money is what made my case life threatening at times, so I am thankful that that part of my case ended up being false. I've always preferred a more simple way of life and believe that much more can be accomplished without having a lot of it, even though I realize that it is needed to a certain extent. I believe that the Midwest has a lot to do with it, since this is where life began for me ❤️🙏🙌🌻🕊️

    He definitely withheld intimacy. Transactional. If I did something he needed, I would get 'rewarded' with complete sentences rather than just one or two word answers at best, or even the silent treatment for over 24 hours (all by text of course because he wanted to limit the time we actually spent together in person. unless he wanted something from me). Sex became less frequent - I would only get that when he wanted to ask to borrow money either the very same day or the next day. But now it all makes sense - when I eventually figured out that he wasn't just pushing me away due to his mental health problems and started to put boundaries in place, I became enemy number 1. Despicable behaviour

    The un paid worker, I definitely felt that. When i got here, we had an agreement where i do 8 hours of yard work for $120, maintaining his 3 acre property, only to slowly over time end up spending more than 30 hours a week, without my pay increasing. Not to mention that despite the exfra hours i was spending, he would use any excuse he could find, not to pay me on payday.
    I've had serious thoughts about suing for all the unpaid labor. As i have found out while looking into it, this is called, theft of services, and with the amount he owes hes in felony territory. Im just not sure if its really worth my energy to do this though.
