Sarcasm and “I was just joking” is used a bunch as well

[natural]

And changing topics. Only addressing topics that will benefit them

[truthh]

1) Guilt Tripping
2) Silent Treatment
3) Victim
4) Triangulation/ Smear Campaign
5) Malicious Gaslighting

[will_Iam]

You have described the vulnerable narcissist I am married to, to a T. I could run off the page with checkmarks against every one of these characteristics, especially gaslighting. She has a black belt in gaslighting. I can be in a conversation where she will absorb what I have said and seconds later repeat it back to me with a real subtle difference that makes me look like the bad guy. After recognizing this tactic, a while ago, I have paid careful attention to just how different it is what she is saying back to me, and I am gob smacked at how fast she alters what I said and adds that really subtle bit that is the poison.

[One-Goth]

Gaslighting. He did it to me all the time and I was oblivious. It got to the point where I was so mentally ill, I was almost admitted to hospital. One night, my friend in another country, contacted the paramedics as I was so unwell. Meanwhile, he was sitting downstairs, without a care in the world.

Ultimate Gaslight….
My wife told me if only I had called her while she was on her way to Vegas, that she wouldn’t have cheated on me.
So it’s my fault that she cheated.

[gabefuller]

But to be fair, I’ve given the silent treatment to a narcissist because it’s like talking to a brick wall. lol Sometimes you have to walk away.

[gwendolynwehage]

One of the most aggravating trait of the narcissist is to treat you with contempt or demean in little ways, they are angry all the time but will never let you know what you did to make them feel this way. I get away from these people. This has happened with family members. Our grandchildren act as though they want nothing to do with me but I have never been around them enough to do anything they wouldn't like. In fact I have been very kind to them when they have been around, but they will not engage with me.

[rabbiberelscharf]

Hey Christina!
When I'm experiencing the silent treatment I feel a sense of relief, not having to wonder what will be happening next! It's total bliss!
I really enjoy your videos! Thank you so very much!
May God bless you!!

[alison]

You're a good person, Christina. You are so helpful 🤗

[mollydooker]

Thanks for this, it’s very accurate. I dated a CN for 4 years and he seemed ok, it’s only when I moved in with him last July the mask slipped and I got the full picture. Last 6 months, I got the silent treatment, and going off in sulking for hours in his car, over absolutely nothing. The most emotionally fragile person I have ever met. Everything was about him and his poor feelings, how he is such decent guy who people take advantage off, blah blah blah. I moved out recently and ended it. I wondered why I was suddenly depressed doh!

[garycordle]

Covert narcissist are under the radar, their just emotional draining, eventually those little paper cuts ads up, so your best bet is just to recognize what they are doing this is why I have said observe don't absorb, just walk away and wash your hands from these users 👍 Cristina and survivors and thrivers 🦋🙏 don't fall into the 🕸️

[vlvchii]

When I cry I'm told that I'm playing the victim and my tears are manipulative. But the issue is that I don't cry until my buttons are being pushed over and over and over and finally I break because its so much pressure and pain.

[denisesatt]

I appreciate your message. It has helped me in recognizing my strengths before the narcissists totally destroy me. Thanks!

[starrnanigans]

This video made me realize my mom triangulates against me to my dad. Granted he also takes a lot of verbal/emotional abuse from her when she goes into her rants, but when she’s raging at me she will immediately follow up by telling me to “get out of her sight” (isolation) and then I will hear her badmouthing me to my dad. To my father’s credit he never rages at me like she does, but she wears him down to the point that he gives me a watered down version of what she’s just raged at me—minus the extremely hurtful insults. It’s sad and makes me sometimes doubt if I can even confide in my dad because if my mom finds out I’ve said anything negative about her, I feel she would most likely repeat the pattern.

[guntertorfs]

Escaped one a while ago. Your channel with it's detailed, recognizable descriptions and keen insight helped me a lot with knowing what i was dealing with. Thanks for that !

[jacquelinefroehle]

Exactly...the Covert was teaching our kids, behind my back to use me as in expect mom to do whatever you want and behind her back...make plans to abuse her....after they do something hateful to me, they go off and wait for me to get over it. They come back. Somewhat nice and they have used me again and repeat the same lying pattern. Now I will not trust them again. I have been too much caring and considerate...which only enables them to continue their ax they grew up seeing their dad abuse me. Now I see their Arrogance and I am ashamed that they enjoy lying like their Dad lies. Being around them give me a sick feeling.

[jeanettewright]

It does.
Deep dwn I knew sumthing wasn't rite.
Learning nw, stronger.
Thanku xx

[suzannesmith]

Whenever my N. Parent started a sentence with. I knew I was about to be gaslit with a lie or variation of the truth. I wonder how many times my own name was used to do the same to my other family members. I started to not want to share or respond to anything because it would be misquoted for ulterior motives. I guess this was not only gaslighting but also triangulation.
