Do you have a narcissist in your life?

Dr. Ramani <3 I am a psychologist from Austria and right now I am in clinical training. I admire this woman so much and could listen to her for hours. Thank you for sharing this important topic with us.

I have so much respect for Kyle.. the fact that he was actually open enough, even after all the sh*tty comments people have left, to tackle this issue in such a public way is very inspiring and humbling. Thank you Kyle!!!! Everybody communicates differently. I appreciate your work :)

Knowledge is power. I am sitting here drinking coffee and watching this educational post. I feel so grateful that as a seventy-five-year-old woman that I am so unbelievably thankful that this format is available to all of us who love psychology and love to learn. Thank you Doctor Ramani and Kyle. You are saving lives, literally and figuratively. Thank you for Being, you are Enough.

The first three minutes of this (and I will come back to watch the rest) sound like Dismissive Avoidant Attachment Style! (Not narcissism, not a diagnosis, just the result of subtle and consistent trauma in childhood)

I admire Kyle for being so open!

The best way to find out if someone is lying, ask the same question in different ways. Liars are inconsistent in their answers.

When I suspect I know someone that’s a narcissist so I google this video, then I start to think what if I’m the

The most successful people in life, imo, are the ones at peace with themselves. They don't need anyone else's validation nor do they wish harm or unhappiness for others.

He's not a narc. We all have narcissistic traits and moments. Being very self aware of your flaws and conscious of your behavior is a sign of intelligence. He's just an imperfect person, like all of us.

When we hear someone's emotions, we are simply saying, "I will be a witness to your journey, you matter to me." It is a powerful gift to give and receive.

i am gonna be honest she inspires me to become a psychologist

[katharineharrison]

I shuddered when he talked about being emotionally incapable of giving what she needed. I dated ‘that guy’ who sucked love but didn’t give it. He walked in front of me. Said ‘I don’t hold hands. Get used to it’. It destroyed my heart v

[debishvebishwish]

Oh God when she said "the 53rd time might be excessive for you, but sometimes they need to talk about it 150 time before letting it go", idk how to describe it but I feel like that's so amazing

[Mr.E]

Shout out to Kyle for putting himself in the spotlight! That takes some balls to be evaluated on such a public scale

[mydawgzz]

I want to see an interview with someone that has been diagnosed as a narcissist. (if the person actually agreed to be recorded of course)

[santinojozefmiller]

Thank you, Kyle and Dr. Ramani, for educating us on narcissism! It is extremely helpful.

[amandamaria]

Being in a relationship w a narcissist for 30 yrs, I can honestly say, I too, could be that person on the plane who can’t deal with the emotions of others. I found I had SO much or my own emotional drama/baggage, that I couldn’t find space for more emotional As I heal, my heart is opening up more and enabling me to give perspective to those in similar

I knew a narcissist that used the word ‘transparant’ a LOT. He was so transparent he never heard what I was really saying and was never there for people when they needed him. THANKS BRUNO. (lol)

[fembot]
