This is 100%, truth.. We have all the signs and signals.. Shame.. Our world rewards bad behavior, while good honest people are looked over and attempted to be manipulated and controlled. Take your power back, stop complying with evil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
I took all your courses. My family is all Cluster B, and I've been no contact for 2 decades. And yet, until very recently, I still had hope - or maybe training, as a therapist - that those people were just traumatized, misunderstood, salvageable. I'm done. Woke finally finished off my hope. I've been reshuffling the mental furniture in my mind, my moral system, my perception of evil. That's it. There's humans and vampires, and we are not the same. Thank you Hugs from Thailand
I am autistic, and I have a high sense of justice and morals and empathy, and it's like the whole world neurotypicals built is just completely based on lies, shallow bullshit, and stupid childish power games. It's like everything is so damn fake and I don't belong here in this cruel fake place.
But HEY THERE!👋😌 There's other people like you out here who very much need people like you to stick around! I totally relate. We are desperately needed here at this time to rebalance this energy. ❤🎉
Seems most, if not all corporations have narcisisits at the top and others along the way. It's difficult not to work for one. Try and find friends that aren't and spend more time with them. if you push to hard to get rid of your narc boss, you will end up fired.
I talk about it a lot and my Narcissistic bosses call me crazy. I don’t believe what they say because I see them hurting others all the time and their minions go along with it. I think denial is the biggest problem in our culture.
I agree.. It seems so obvious, yet many still can't seem to recognize it. We also have a problem with order followers, those who do everything they're told, with no ablity to think critically. God help us.
15:50 "we're way past enslavement, we are crop." It's a more insidious form of exploitation in which we are being harvested, in less overt ways - through things like consumerism, data exploitation, and emotional manipulation within larger systems.
We live within a society that rewards narcissistic behaviors. We are immersed in media and technology that rewards narcissistic behaviors. It is imperative that people emphasize, as Richard did, that even though a small percentage of the population is truly NPD, there does seem to be an increase in narcissistic traits in people, because of the systems we have in place that reward narcissistic behaviors. But it doesn't make 30% of the population NPD. It is important to draw the distinction between the truly irredeemable and the people who behave in ways our traumatized and mentally ill society reward. Thanks for all you do, Richard. Truly a crucial resource in dealing with narcissism. I am endlessly grateful.
As a whole Narcissistic behaviors create as much destruction as NPD. So in my eyes everyone might as well be classified as a Narcissist. Narcissistic traits are only productive when having to handle others' Narcissistic traits.
We know now. We're realizing now that they're EVERYWHERE. Thankfully we can see them ALL now. 🎉 You all fighting for awareness and all your tireless work was ALL worth it. Yet it never ends. there are STILL too many people who cannot recognize a narcissistic psychopath when it’s staring them in the eye.
I often think about this. It causes me a lot of pain and existential dread. I can't bear the idea of having kids in this kind of world, I truly don't think I'll have any. Thanks for your confidence and courage to talk about such topics. Much appreciated. You're doing great work out here to educate the world. We need more people like you!
Agree with this. Sadly we have allowed ourselves to be corralled into a situation where "offence" triggers a call to the authorities, with politicians supporting this by the implementation of "hate crime" legislation. Both justify this using "equality" as the excuse. The notion of "democracy" has shifted from a system that supports the views of the majority to one which persecutes the majority in the interests of the "protection" of minorities.
Do the rest of us really have thick skin though? I often initially take great offense internally to criticism and then analyze it later on when I'm alone to see if there's truth to what the person said and possibly the motivation behind it.
Richard, this talk is revolutionary, my big brother in Recovery!! 🤯😱❤🎉🥳 Thank you so much. I can hear how far you've grown. I'm really enjoying this and it's making my stomach stop hurting so bad! Cause finally, someone is telling the actual truth. Healing sent to all of us on this path 🙏 ✨️.
How corageous you are. You are somebody that makes makes it worth living, watching someone who have the guts to say What’s going on. Congrats Mr Grannon, you make some people proud. Thanks to use tour voice to say what we can not say, publicly, yet. ❤️🙌🏻🙏
@paulaismael6549 - It's time to be bold and speak from your heart. Enough is enough. We must be bold and start expressing ourselves without fear of being censored or deplatformed.
Hi, since you’re here most recently, do you know if the next 30 day challenge is free? Or where to find info re it? Also, do you know what the r.g. “Community” is about? I’ve been subscribed a while but don’t know if this is a new or added element. Thanks
If you believe in God or higher power. Ask for judgement on THESE psychopaths. We can enact change through the spiritual world, Education and standing up for our rights in creative unpredictable ways
God is the only way, they run this baby- that's why some people can't even get the time of day to make a real change. When people stop worshiping money, psychos will lose their grip.
I am assuming that anyone acting in the political system, even the most hated opposition (in germany the AfD) is part of this shitshow. The only solution is to get rid of the centralized system.
Once I started talking society and economics (aka politics), people started attacking me on my own channel. So best of luck to you! And I completely agree.
Brings me back to Loevinger's 9 levels of ego. There is an endless war on control, and that control is pushing narcissistic traits, in society as a whole; the almost infantile-like mind, as Richard described.
Married a covert narcissist and after seven years together she took off her mask as she found someone else. My dad passed away and 2 years later my mom passed away. I was dealing with that loss and in my state of grief just a few months after losing my mom she treated me like dog shit on her shoe. I felt a darkness coming from her and the feeling was so clear and never felt it before. Read the bible about all the things god detests. Narcissism opposes all godly things. A soulless human that hasn’t died yet
There are no gods - as hard as it might sound for someone who finds solace in that fantasy. You are much better of trying to understand reality as it is. People still thinking in magical and unclear terms about reality is a huge enabling factor for narcissistic psychopaths (in fact, most deities are quite literally described as narcissistic psychopaths in those "holy" books).
@ I respect your right to utilize free will to believe in God or we came to be here by chance or aliens. I stood in front of and looked into the eyes of a demon I felt the darkness and evil and became more aware of the battle in the spirit realm. Now we have orbs that resemble a heavenly angel hovering in the skies. lol. I wish you peace and happiness

This is truly brilliant 👏😊 Thank you, Richard. If we'd all wake up collectively and end all avenues toward this inflicted mental illness, maybe we'd get a better majority of service to others who aren't struggling with codependency and ptsd. 🤷♀️
Thanks for this excellent talk Richard. I've been thinking these thoughts for a long time. People who are driven to hold such power are a certain "type" who desperately need to prove themselves & manipulate others. We are definitely witnessing this in our current crop of global "leaders" who want control over every living being, plant, and system on the planet, but exempt themselves from having to make any personal sacrifices! Mass non- compliance is the best solution!
Why don't we simple implement tests to prevent narcissist to come to power? Why is psychology or personal disorders not taught in school? If you know how to spot manipulation, you can protect against it, but it seems unless you're studying psychology you need to learn those things by yourself. Shouldn't school prepare for life? Why does the system totally fail in this regard, and it is the same in every country.
Its always been this way. People seeking power chase power in society and power over others. Good and decent people arnt interested in being in power. Maybe a naive few go into it with good intentions, however they are targeted and given a choice. Tow the line or pay with your life. Peace
Great content Thanks Richard...I totally agree people who are stepping up into power need testing...it is the only sensible, safe approach to govenance.
I have a narcissistic father and sister. I had a 6 year relationship with my narcissistic ex 5 years ago. I've come to the exact conclusion as this excellent talk. In my opinion npd is more common than 5%- more like 25%, and yes we are fucked, particularly in the west where they have taken over. They are so destructive I'm concerned they won't stop unless they have complete control and we end up in thermo nuclear war. Narcissistic west vs the rest and it'll be the west that starts it and ends us all. Keep fighting.
As he mentioned, there is a difference between narcissistic traits and NPD. Social media simply enforces narcissistic traits. Which autocratic system isn't run by a narcissist? If you like to play out the west against the east, I'd claim it's even worse in the east [it depends where you live 🤣].
Respectfully as a mental health professional you're not in a position to be diagnosing your family, some people are simply ass holes. The statistics are more like 1.15% of the population & this isn't a conservative estimation - I work with this clientele group every day.
It has felt like I’ve been living in George Orwell’s 1984, here in California. I am curious and question everything, recognize patterns and have predicted a lot here in the US. I have been trying to speak with my “liberal” family & friends, to have noticed the thought policing has become contagious and more adamant. I’m not conservative either, just a thinker. I love humans, regardless of their ideology, all depending on their personality. But I have just been noticing something illiberal happening to liberals (a generalization of course, and my sample size is only who I know), and it appears like a psychological operation has been successful. I hope people start questioning more. It’s so crazy. Social contagion is a word that comes to mind. I’m positive I’ve absorbed some social contagion too. I’m not immune. ☮️ & 💟 to the humans.
Very well articulated! You have evolved succinctly over the years and keep up with the times snd the psychological explainations of what we are seeing. Thank you thank you. Souch to think about..
I strongly agree Richard. I think a vetting system needs to be put in place to make sure the person or people in charge are not narcissistic. The right people to be in charge would be very competent, compassionate, moral and selfless. Putting the whole first, not themselves.
Dr. Peter Salerno/Hare/Simon state per studies, that Narcissism is a) not compensatory b) not shame based and c) not caused by trauma but genetic. They inherently believe in their superiority foremost because of a genetic disposition.
'Many' wealthy people do move, behave and manage the less fortunate with that view of regal entitlement in their minds of 'actual proven by their $successful living amongst the cattle(us)' as due to a genetically superior predisposition.
Nice to have you and learn new things. If I ever do get involved in a conversation about narcissism, I use an item you imparted. It makes sense. Thank you for your time!
I stumbled upon a book nearly 20 years ago,while searching for answers about the dynamics in my family and my own dependencies. It is called "Co-Dependence Misunderstood Mistreated" by Anne Wilson Schaef from 1986. She assumed that Co Dependency and SubstanceDependency is a problem deriving from the society you live in. It is also a society's social and systemic problem. That explained a lot.
All true!Thank you greatly Richard❤The only thing I had trouble with is it has got to be more than 1 to 5%.Its seems like an explosive epidemic.Was it always this way and we just didt name it? Now its your neighbor,your doctor,your husband,your children!

Nice to have you and learn new things. If I ever do get involved in a conversation about narcissism, I use an item you imparted. It makes sense. Thank you for your time!

I stumbled upon a book nearly 20 years ago,while searching for answers about the dynamics in my family and my own dependencies. It is called "Co-Dependence Misunderstood Mistreated" by Anne Wilson Schaef from 1986. She assumed that Co Dependency and SubstanceDependency is a problem deriving from the society you live in. It is also a society's social and systemic problem. That explained a lot.
Brilliant Richard 😊
