    I also saw his vulnerability... and that’s what kept me coming back, I felt so bad for him. But despite my love, I couldn’t help him. And it’s so sad.

    When you quote the lady I felt every word, that was exactly my oppinion AT The end of The relationship. Sometimes my only regret is this, how wonderful we have been if he let a side his grotesque part, what a wonderful man he would have been. That's so sad.. But in the end you just feel tired of fighting with his demons.

    One of his best videos yet. Extricate. No contact. It’s been 3 months and I don’t miss any of the drama and the fact that he kept seeing things while home alone out of the corner of his eye. Describing in detail his horrible nightmares. All the while cheating, lying and finding any woman that would pay attention to him. Always saying there’s something after me, it’s something dark.
    Yes. Yourself!

    Professor Vaknin, this is the singularly most helpful video (to me, personally, re: my predicament) that I have ever seen. The self-help industrial complex has not been helpful or kind to me. I was the intimate partner of a narcissist with a law degree, so you can imagine the kind of terror he inflicted on me via the legal system after I left him. He may very well have completely destroyed my life were he not so grandiose and delusional. I ultimately prevailed, while he ended up very much according to your description: jobless, friendless, reputation destroyed--completely as a result of his own actions. I feel very lonely in my feelings of profound grief. I am told that this is just the residue of trauma bonding. They can't understand that I got over that part of it years ago, and it is the terrible existential truth of the situation that haunts me, that there is no redemption possible for some people, only suffering.

    I love your brain. You are fascinating to listen to. I’d love to explore inside your head, suspect I’d get annihilated in there but the journey would be worth it. I spent months watching videos on narcissism before I stumbled on to one of yours and realised many so called ‘experts’ know nothing really about what they are talking about. Definitely a case of deranking!

      Some people told me that they had spent 4-6 years watching narcissism videos nonstop, day in and day out, before they had ever come across a single video of mine. TH-cam is a nasty bit of work. I hope the next Congress reins them in and breaks them apart. They - as well as Facebook-Instagram and Twitter - are nothing short of evil reified.

    I wish I'd found these videos sooner. All those things I thought I could change were ingrained in him so deeply that he'll live them forever. You can't really prove you're not cheating. Especially when the accuser imagines fake evidence everywhere. Misbehaving, betrayal, bad girl, w, punishment and revenge were words he used very frequently. I now see that going no contact, as hard as it was, was the best solution. Thanks for all your videos.

    Sam- you’re a lifeline. A miracle discovery for me. I bought your book and have told everyone I know about you. I am just post discard after 11 months of the most euphoric yet confusing year of my life.
    My introduction to you was my search for “Puer Aeternus narcissist.” Ever since I fall asleep to your videos every night.
    Continually confronting their own death. My Peter Pan, a brilliant prodigy that never quite made it was fascinated with death; The “nostalgic longing for death” as Marie-Louise Von Franz put it. It all is making so much sense now. And now the real work of understanding myself, the self I learned to avoid from my own sadistic narcissistic mother.

    Yes my ex would claim that people would "kick him in the back". He did also keep telling me to let him know ahead of time when I was going to kick him out of my life then went ahead and initiated the breakup by accusing me of cheating and I was just tired of it all at that point and been steering clear for a whole month now and watching these videos to remind myself who he was.

    I awoke one night with the narcissist standing over me, screaming, "What did you do to me? What was in it?" He had severe indigestion from the pound of Brussels sprouts he ate for dinner. His little belly hurt; so he inferred I had poisoned him! What an idiot!

      Anything ppl.
      Poisoning can look like many different illnesses.
      Or such as a heart attack or natural death.
      You start getting sick and the partner is not.
      It's time to be your own inspector detective.
      Please be careful.
      Educate on all poisoning.

    Professor Vaknin, over the last 2-3 months, I have watched your videos nearly daily. Each one helps me understand the devastating end to my five-year marriage. It was always abusive, but I thought if I could only please him, I would see the person I now understand was a mirage. A tool for the real person to groom me. Still, the degree of violence and suddenness with which he ended things were so shocking and confusing initially. I now understand that he is likely a covert narcissist with schizoid tendencies that executed a betrayal fantasy. I was the persecutory object for a long time, but now the end feels like a never-ending crescendo. Your final words in this video say it all - extricate yourself, go no contact. Unfortunately, there's a small child between us which he weaponizes to keep contact. I'm doing my best. Definitely doggy-paddling at the moment and hoping the court system prevails. Thank you for your work.

    Re de-ranking: I watched other TH-cam channels focusing on narcissism for probably 9-12 months before your channel was finally recommended to me. When I say I watched other channels, I mean I literally spent hours a day listening to this kind of content. De-ranking is very real. As an aside, I ended up unsubscribing to all of those other channels over the past few months. You are the only one I watch now bc you give us incredible insight into the narcissists in our lives. I am leaving my narcissistic husband and I partially credit your content with giving me the courage to finally leave. Thank you. Would you please do a video on how to de-program yourself after you leave a narcissist?

He claims that the way the text is written it couldn’t have been for him. Excuse me sir🤔 effing delusional.

I let him know my inner workings and feelings and dynamics on absolutely everything and told him he could look through my phone whenever he wanted. It was almost as if the very act of me being that transparent catalyzed split in that reconstructed a false narrative superimposed on my transparency as it means of concealment. It drove me mad.

    Hi Sam.
    Another great video. Your works have been very revealing. I have even purchased and read your book. I highly recommend it to anyone with a family member who may suffer such disorders.
    I would like to respectfully make a suggestion. I was hoping you would give a talk on the female covert narcissist. Most of your videos revolve around the overt male.
    I have watched all of your videos and there are questions that I am certain we all have. What is the difference between a histrionic and covert Narcisist? Is it just the empathy part? Can someone be both at the same time. Or is it an "either / or" phenomena. What are the sexual differences between the somatic narc and the histrionic? Do they both have similar shared fantasies or are they sharply different? I have a friend who appears to be in the closet to many of the people she is dating that she is gay / bisexual. But it is so obvious and her female lovers are easy to identify. But still she refuses to admit to her partner that she has even kissed a woman. Does homosexuality and gender identity issues effect this category of cluster B disorders? Also when you first introduced the concept of split personalities disorder in the 1990's who did you treat the histrionic differently.... or is there a difference?
    Any wisdom you could share on this topic would be greatly appreciate by myself and the thousands of viewers of your video channel.
    Thanks again for you time.

      What I was asking is what is the difference between a covert narcissist and a histrionic? There traits seem to cross each other almost identically except that the histrionic has empathy. But wouldn't this be a big deal? Can anyone explain this further? What are the differences between the narc and the histrionic?
