Why do Narcissists ruin vacations and planned trips. Why dont narcissists feel safe away from home?

Welcome my channel! If this is your first time seeing my face or hearing my voice, my name is Lee and I am a self aware narcissist. I have narcissistic personality disorder ( NPD ) and I've been in therapy for my personality disorder since 2017 and it has definitely changed my life because without it, I would have lost everything.

The point of these videos is to help bring awareness from the other side of the narcissistic *buse spectrum. All my videos give perspective on why many narcissists do what they do and the possible different reasons behind them. The victims and survivors get validation and the Narcissists (those that are willing) get to see that you can get help and that you are not alone.

Thank you so much

Yes! Traveling with a narcissistic person is like traveling with a small child!

If you want to have a partner but have to go to every event alone, date or marry a narcissist. You are better off being single.

One reason is same for holidays, Birthday, special occasion. The narc has to be center of attention always by ANY means. I know this going to be a good one.

[lakisharobinson]

Yes...I was dealt the silent treatment....rage.... alienation...etc while on a love bomb trip to Vegas...the whole experience was horrible....never again ...he had the nerve to mention another trip while hoovering....I will never travel with him again nor any other narc... now I understand why he acted the way he did... lesson learned

My mother used to ruin every holiday, birthday, trips, everything when it was time to go. When that didn't work anymore she would make things up to cause drama days before things.

I knew something wasn't right, but I could never put my finger on it!! Lee your videos and others have helped me understand what I was going thru!! Narcissistic personalities should be taught in school so, their won't be so many people who have to suffer

I made the mistake of going to another country with my narc parent...NEVER AGAIN

[kikataye]

In 2017 my ex ( conveniently ) lost his drivers license a few hours before we were to go on an anniversary trip. let him know that I would drive the 2.5 hour trip, he was over 50 with gray hair so nobody was gonna card him for beer🤷🏽‍♀️ Welp, he lashed out to me just for saying that I would drive and help him, (saying, I don’t need you to do that! ) and he screamed and refused to go saying that he wasn’t going or helping me to pay! Welp, I picked my girlfriend up and had a god time! I’m so glad that I’m divorced now😩

My narcissistic father ruined every single trip we took… like big big time with arguments and rages… it was awful to grow up like that. Poor mom now I know why she drinks

[stephanierichardson]

This man is telling the truth it got so bad I stop going anywhere with him...thank God I got away from this man

Why do narcissist ruin vacations?
My answer: it makes it more fun for them.

[kokolane]

This is the absolute truth! Went on a group road trip with a Narc and others we just met. I’m fact, I’ve only known him for a month so I didn’t know he was a Narc until after the trip. He not only stopped talking to me for 7 days of the trip but he also aligned himself with the other people especially the one single female. If this is happening to you don’t walk away RUN.

[IndorilTheGreat]

My ex would wait until *after* the trip to ruin things. We would get back, and she would be agressive and grumpy for no viable reason.

All of the relaxation I had achieved on the vacation was *instantly* gone, leaving me just as stressed as I was before we left.

[averagemo]

This is exactly on point! People who do not understand this mental health disorder do not understand what we go through! I'm glad to know that there are others out there who are going through the same things I experienced. Feels good not to be alone in this anymore. 🙂

My child's father is a Malignant narcissist.Every single trip that I have planned and executed for birthdays and holidays, for our trio was absolutely ruined by him.the last trip that we went on was this past summer in May for his birthday to Kings dominion..(something that he would never in his life do for me)I rented a cabin and the works..turned out to be a waste of time and money, because he wants to make up something to argue about and so therefore it was just like we were at home.. so from that point on, my son and I only go traveling together.. which the narcissist is is fine with. So he can stay home and keep the mask off.

[motherofaxolotls]

As for people saying “your no better than other narc’s” .. that is not true. Realizing your issues & working on yourself is one of the hardest things for people to do, especially for a narcissist. The fact that you’re able to admit to the world & at least trying to do better as well as educating others.. please give yourself some credit when credit is do! Thank you for these videos💕

[Awilli]

True. Now, I understand what was going on. But..., if you leave them home rest assure there's gonna be a "cheek clapping"party.

Mr. Lee you have covered all bases, again.

[lisaalfonso]

Oh my gosh! Eyes Opened!!! My son used to always do this!! We would even try to choose places/ restaurants he liked or wanted, but then sabotage everything before we left or during the drive there or unhappiness the whole time. Like we were ruining HIS good time! And then even afterwards when he would eventually have fun, he would reinvent that it actually sucked and he DIDN’T have fun. Or he somehow felt vulnerable admitting a good time and would ego-feed right after with some explosion or toxic criticisms. Never could understand this behavior!!! Thank you for this answer!!! ❤❤❤

[Annejali]

My partner would have a raging fit every time we left the house, he claimed it was because he was hungry and in pain because he is so hungry but even after we provide all the comforts for him, he would still find thing to whine about and make the vacation very hard to enjoy😢 the saddest part about this is that I am a world traveler and he claimed to share this passion. After three trips with him I started to question the truth😂 this video gave me so much closure on the matter. Thanks Lee!🎉

Happened to me last year with my narcissist twin. We went to Cancun and one night in our bedroom i was trying to sleep and he put the volume of the TV super loud and we starter fighting over that but it became punching fight and these things have always happened in vacations and so on. They always go 500 extra miles to provoke you. So twisted.
