10 Key Differences Between Male and Female Narcissists

Gender Differences in Narcissistic Personality Disorder: Exploring NPD in Men and Women

Gender Differences in Narcissistic Personality Disorder:Exploring NPD in Men and Women by Lise Leblanc

In this video, I will discuss 10 distinct ways in which Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) can manifest differently between men and women. While the symptoms of NPD may be more pronounced in men, what makes it particularly challenging in the case of women is its covert and unexpected nature. Additionally, I will share my top 3 reasons for focusing the majority of my content on helping men identify and deal with relationship abuse.

In this video, I outline three main reasons for my focus on creating content to help men identify and deal with relationship abuse. I will also provide 10 ways that NPD can manifest differently in men and women.

Considering there is SO much information of men vs women I truly appreciate you for recognizing us men as victims of narcissistic abuse as well and i thank you for your content.

As a man who went through a relationship with a narcissistic partner I deeply appreciate Lise's wisdom. I badly needed help and confirmation that I wasn't deeply flawed myself. Theres obviously another pandemic at large, one of narcissism. Now that I know what to look for, I see it everywhere.

[SomeGuy-xfbc]

When men express needs we generally aren't even listened to. Often we are ridiculed for it. So this channel is one of the few places that actually acknowledges that men can be abused. What are the results? "WHY AREN'T YOU TALKING ABOUT WOMEN!?" Keep fighting the good fight Lise.

[firsttbone]

The ones complaining are probably narcissistic women! They don't want men to know who they are or what to look for!! Keep up the great work Lisa!!

[CJ_Pharaoh]

Yes. I'm one of those men. We need the help. Thank you Lise. God bless you. Because I find it hard to speak out too and have been shamed for it in the past as well. PLEASE continue doing what you do for as long as you can 🙏

[rostamr]

Thank you, Lise, Please don't change anything with your program. I as a man find your insights and knowledge extremely helpful.

[MsChris]

I‘m a woman and I really appreciate your work. My ex (male) narc‘s covert behaviour was rather like women’s narcissistic behaviour. Therefore your videos were of utmost importance to me. Thank you.

[mortennox]

Man here. Been in a relationship with Both a NPD and a BPD. Thank you for putting up these videoes. For me it has made it easier to embrace the fact that I have been abused. It has also made me look at the 2 women as poor souls, and let me let go of my anger towards them.

[lifetimeactor]

Thank you so much for reaching out to us guys and being such a great resource! I'm so tired of men recieving the overwhelming brunt of the blame by so many projecting female narcissists coupled with mainstream media bias that just enables this attitude. I'm not implying there aren't many narcissistic men, but things really are so unbalanced currently in this area. Your channel rocks!

[mackthisarrowhearth]

An exhibit or list of toxic passive/subtle aggressive behaviors is much appreciated. They often seem so small and unimportant next to direct aggression, and often as the narc target, they get you mad, and you are blamed of being the aggressor.

[lufsolitaire]

There’s plenty of resources and support groups out there for women to deal with male narcissists, but not that many for men to understand female narcissists. Why do you think the dating game these days is so skewed if not for the fact a lot of men do not have the same access to resources such as this? Aside from the sexual aspect, men are not taught the psychological aspects of relationships/dealing with the toxic aspects and thus often come up completely short in that department while their female counterparts run circles around them. Despite what some political ideologues would have you believe, toxic femininity is a thing too unto itself and unlike toxic masculinity is not being checked on a fundamental level. All in all I deeply respect your work.

[jaredbackus]

Thank you for the information and support for men that you saw as important enough to address. It is a real issue and you are one of many that address narcissisism but you taking time to focus on the problems men face is clearly greatly appreciated by the comments on this thread. Thanks so much Lise! 🙏

[DrJamesBWood]

Thanks for supporting us as it often feels like we have little to no voice and are just supposed to suck it up and deal. My ex has BPD and it was a bit much.

[othoia]

Thank you Lise for your videos and for providing this education for men who are experiencing narcissistic abuse from a female partner.

[pedrokarstguimaraes]

Lise! You go deeper and deeper in your reseach. You’re in a field of your own. For a man that realy was involved in strong feelings, It is extraordenarely dificult to get away, because of guilt and to avoid remembering is own true and honnest feelings. Only the evidence about leeding with a person with some insanity sustains to keep away. Even above all abuse, and anger about, there remains pitty and understanding for the desease, and love, love for that person that sometimes was there. NPD shows, for what I can see, a division of personality in diferent sides, and we love one of them. Thanks god that, at least, You know this issue profundly (much much more than my therapist) and I know You understand our pain.
Love to You Lise, I’m very gratefull for your efforts and wisdom ❤

[solomancambridge]

As a health and wellness coach, who has worked in both a behavioral health clinic and at a psychiatric hospital, I say thank you so much for taking this courageous stand.

Speaking up for the ignored silent male victims of pathological female terror is tremendously inspiring and validating. Be Well.❤

[xio]

My ex gf was a abusive cheating nightmare, thanks for speaking up for men around the world. We are not the monsters they make us out to be. We want to give love but finding a good wife seems near impossible. I think I want to be alone for a good while. The risk doesn't seem worth it. I'll focus on myself instead.

[millyardopeacecraft]

We appreciate you Lise! KEEP ON ROCKING!

I show Schizoid traits with ASPD behavior, I was almost diagnosed one but I didn’t care to come back for a session... People call me an narcissist in real life, isn’t that hypocrisy? Because I am cold, emotionless, unfeeling towards their feelings doesn’t mean I am an narcissist….I don’t hurt people at all, I just don’t give a flying f about people feelings when I was a child
and mostly I avoid people or from society…. Is it my fault that my brain works like this…Most people are soo damaged who came from abusive relationship and they label everyone an narcissist these days, it’s insane…I have empathy just not for people, I have empathy for my brother, friend. Out of this circle I don’t care about anything, I don’t feel it I don’t care about people feelings, it doesn’t come from my heart at all. But yet I am an narcissist, you gotta love damaged people these days……This is why I avoid people, society as much possible because people they work on my nerves….

[morganfeldman]

I so appreciate your focus on men who are victims of this abuse. Men don't get the help and support they need. And female abusers will take advantage of the societal bias to always think that tbe male is the abuser in a toxic relationship. They use this bias to threaten and blackmail their victims from seeking the help and support they need.
