Narcissistic abuse looks like:

Lack of Empathy: Narcissists often show little to no empathy for others, making it easy for them to manipulate and exploit. Narcissists use various tactics such as gaslighting, love bombing, and devaluation to control and dominate their victims.

Common Tactics Used in Narcissistic Abuse:

Gaslighting: Making the victim doubt their own reality and sanity.
Love Bombing: Showering the victim with excessive attention and affection to gain control.

Devaluation: Undermining the victim’s self-worth through criticism, belittling, and emotional neglect.

Isolation: Cutting the victim off from their support systems to increase dependency on the abuser.

Triangulation: Using others to create jealousy or competition, keeping the victim feeling insecure.

The worst ones are the covert ones, so sweet & fragile, wounded birds, lost boys/girls, who never grew up, wearing their past trauma like badge & wielding it like a weapon. Always controlling every conversation to make everything be about them, constantly using their “triggers” to shoot other people down & get them to shut up if the conversation isn’t going to their own agenda, which is basically feed me, feed me, feed me, the milk of human kindness, while I treat you like an enemy, for having any thoughts & feelings contrary to this vampiric agenda.

Narcissists love-bomb me when they are uncomfortable, and treat me poorly when they are comfortable.

[pamelariley]

Don't forget that a good loving person can't fake being vengeful, hateful, or rejecting,
But a narcissistic can fake being kind, loving, & trustworthy.

[Heretic]

The worst are those who use love and religion as a cloak to hide their darkness!

[Dr-Sandip-Roy]

My mom says this about the two faces of narcissists. They bow to the powerful and scream at the weak.

[MG-otyr]

I've always found it best to just be mysterious, don't divulge too much, don't react and be unpredictable. Drives them nuts.

[cathyhudson]

If you want to make a narcissist uncomfortable, be unpredictable. A Narcissist told me he feared me because i was unpredictable, . Of course he doesn't admit he is a narcissist. The best part is he is the one who caused me to be unpredictable ..lol

[smith]

My mother was a covert narcissist. Her acquaintances thought she was so nice. They had NO idea!

[cathyhudson]

walking away doesnt work, they dont care. it only gives them more fuel for the next time. if your going to walk away, stay away. dont waste your time

[Angel-qhob]

I cant believe how many comments are on this page. Are we totally surrounded by the mentally disturbed? Im glad i found these comments. 36 years of this . I need major healing.

[freedomofspeech]

I recognized this method of handling the narc by watching him treat those who could care less about him especially his own family he treated them with “respect”. The more indifferent they were to him the more respect he gave. You really have to stop caring about the narc and your relationship with them. Indifference is so powerful. Not grey rock it’s utter who gives a crap attitude that makes them powerless. That their kryptonite. I’m experiencing this lesson finally. Make them invisible. Screw closure. Shut up, close down around them. Ignore them not rudely just like they don’t matter anymore. You can never go back to discussing and sharing and caring. It has to be finished. Get that emotional wall up and keep it up. It gets easier with time. Remind yourself especially during love bombing you dealing with the devil.

[Baconmissfit]

Oh dang. So, when I was full on gray rocking and he said he had to walk on eggshells around me, I had actually succeeded at what I was doing. Not out of manipulation, but out of protecting myself?!

Mind blown.

[warriormom]

Covertly jealous and envious of EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY!! Full of hate and darkness. 😈☠️🤡

[janetdarlington]

Setting boundaries and being strong. Demanding respect

[dianereed]

I am actually living the kind of life you are talking about. I have been married for 20 years to a narc. I am disabled and elderly and I was in the dark for 18 years trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with my marriage. A couple of years ago I found the answer through videos I found on YouTube about narcissism. It was such a relief to finally know that I wasn't crazy. I moved out of our shared bedroom and into another bedroom on the other end of the house. Most days we just pass each other in the hall.After finding out about narcissism I went totally gray rock on his ass and I refuse to put up with his BS and he knows it. We are only disappointed when our expectations aren't met so I have zero expectations concerning him. Just know that if you are in a relationship with a narc that they do not change no matter how much you love or care about them. Don't be like me and waste years of your life thinking that's it's gonna get better because it's not. The longer you stay the worse it's gonna get.

Remember, you’re dealing with a child ( undeveloped) in an adult body. I simply use this tactic I learned in grade school when they begin projecting their toxicity on me. “ I am rubber, you are glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you!” 😂🎉

[uraniumu]

My son left his aunts house on Thanksgiving with his wife and 4 kids and never looked back. He put her on notice in a way nobody has ever done. I am so proud of him.

[SinfulScents]

They don’t deserve our energy trying to make them walk on anything and we deserve to love ourselves and walk away

[Desmondbrown]

No, you walk away and ignore them as much as you can, if you have to talk to them.. pretend they’re a child..

[DanealLamb]

My best advice with a narcissist, leave and go no contact.
