What I Learned Living With a Narcissist

There are some very manipulative people out there and I wanted to share my experience living with one of those people.

This is a really difficult topic for me to talk about, and the entire experience of filming myself talking about it and putting myself out there was very uncomfortable. But that almost reinforces for me how important it is to talk about this.

I don't see a lot of content out there discussing narcissists or manipulative people, and even less on how to handle situations with those kinds of people.

I tried my best to share my point of view and some of the things I learned.

Thanks for watching.

Good quote I ran into recently:
"Be careful what you tolerate, you're teaching people how to treat you."
-someone who was right.

The only way to win with a narcissist is to not play

Pro Tip: They’ll NEVER listen to you, so don’t bother expressing how they hurt you. They’ll weaponize that information and make you feel worse 😭

[HydroDiver]

Narcissistic abuse is so insidious. It happens so gradually and methodically that you don't even notice until you're deep into it. But as you heal, you become stronger and wiser than you were before.

[MsLTbeliever]

speaking up to a narcissist is a waste of time. they will refuse to listen to you and then make you out to be the bad person for standing up for yourself.

[pulsey]

With 1st hand experience; you can never negotiate with a narcissist, they believe they are above everyone else.

Winners QUIT.
They QUIT bad habits
They QUIT toxic relationships
They QUIT self-deprecating stuff.

They can do a lot of damage in a very short time. The sooner you can get away, the better. Don't wait months, years or decades to get away. Take it from me, you can lose your whole life. Thank you for sharing.

[florencekwok]

imagine being raised by a narcissist. the psychological trauma still affects me to this day and i'm 28.

A narcissist has to "not like you". It's how they have the power in the situation. And talking openly to them does nothing.

What type of people attract narcissist?
1.kind
2.people pleaser
3.overly positive people
4. Children of narcissistic parents
5.empathy people

[sebbrown]

Being a people pleaser you will continue to attract those types of people. You can be kind and still stand up for yourself.

[stephenwrouton]

It's worse when you have a parent that is a narcissist, because then you have a tendency to keep attracting narcissists into your life because of your upbringing. When this is the case, you have to exert a lot of effort to break the cycle.

[srutitopramennoodles]

as a people pleaser who was raised by a narcissist, the first ever relationship i ever got into was with a man who gaslighted me like crazy to where i cried almost every day questioning my self worth. glad to say i'm in a better place now and working on myself, but it really sucks to have your own parents be narcissists. with quarantine forcing me to live with them again, i've found myself often spiraling into depression again like i often used to in high school, but i've developed a better sense of myself now and i think the most important thing you can do for yourself is to love yourself first :)

[uncleiroh]

I was raised by two of these shitheads. Thank you for spreading this information. Tons of people fall victim to narcissistic abuse.

[tomhammer]

Narcissists don't want to listen, only be heard

[josiahlewis]

“Long silences to make me feel stupid”
I felt that

[sianchandler]

Letting a narc know your feelings or trying to communicate with them, will always, always become fodder for them to use against you. I feel bad because this type of relationship is extremely insidious. You don't know until you look back... just like he said.

[rosieleat]

I grew up with a malignant narcissist (my father). It is impossible to be concise about a story around a narc. They infiltrate everything with toxic tendrils and fear. There are no words for it. AND recovery starts, when you cut them out of your life. Go well everyone Xxx
