Your Dignity And The Narcissist's Indignance

A favorite theme of Dr. C is the reminder of each individual's inherent dignity. Narcissists, however, can be so consumed with robbing you of self-respect, that you can lose sight of this essential quality. Let's go back to the basics to remember what the narcissist wants you to forget.

It also is available on Google, Apple, Spotify, and Amazon.

It boggles the mind how narcissists conduct in immoral and undignified behaviours but act self righteous to cover it up. They are running away from their own shame but just keep adding to their long list of shameful deeds.

Sometimes I'm mad at myself because I don't have a quick comeback for the narcissist. But now I realize that is just me not resorting to their level of childishness.

When dealing with a Narcissist RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN. They will not take responsibility for their actions.

The narcissist will not offer dignity, even when in compliance with what his/her will is for you.

The narc rips your dignity and self respect to shreds Now I realise why because they don't have any.

[duromusabc]

Dignity (self worth) is a threat to the narcissist’s craving for control, power and dominance- along with love, authenticity, vulnerability, humanity, and nuance

[xFrozenxSnowx]

The narcissist will nitpick and judge you on anything petty. But when you point out small issues. They will argue with you till you back off, claiming their issue is not of principle and therefore irrelevant.?? The double standard is real.

Statements to Speak to the Narc (your choice, either silently or out loud): 1. I don't look to you for my dignity. 2. My dignity is an independent matter. 3. I plan to use my healthy reasoning skills. 4. I am standing firm in my belief that I am a person of worth.

I think the freeze response occurs in a scapegoat after years of attacks from the narcissist. I appear frozen when I am considering all the ways the narcissist has set up a situation, the response they expect, the different ways they may spin my reaction and the fact they will push for an immediate answer if they sense hesitation.

We cannot control these narcissists. We can control ourselves, and as sad as we may think it is; we must walk away from them physically or mentally. They are destructive people who do not think normally. I wish this were not true. But it is true. “When people show us who they are, we need to believe them.”

Taking revenge and striking back at those who hurt me made me feel worse about myself. Showing dignity to those who show me little or none has oddly increased my feelings of self worth.

I love the way us lot are making a happy friendly community talking about weather...snow and ice here...and pets.

Thank you dr Carter. We need to understand how important it is to protect our dignity and walk away from the abusers who do not have respect for our dignity and humanity. God bless you❤

These videos have been greatly used to help me begin to heal the last few months… to discover that what I’ve been experiencing for 40 years has a name, and comes from a playbook has been unspeakably validating. Thank you dr C

Your channel is the channel that helps me when I have no one to run to.

I used to love my narcisstic friend so much, even when she showed me she was not able to respect me that much. Eventually I saw that my friend felt to good for me and teared me down. I am a very soft person who has trouble letting go. It was very painful for me. I learned by wachting your videos to treat myself with more kindness and dignity and to stop pursuing people that make me doubt myself and their love for me. I think showing myself this grace was the best thing you helped me learn, because I can see it helped me rebuild my self esteem and confidence and that I now attract people that are consistently kind towards me. Life has been way easier and also more enjoyable. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

The narcissist loves to manipulate people into that trauma bond. It keeps you walking on eggshells and constantly trying to prove your worthiness. My last manager knew she was doing this and was secure in applying her covert tactics. Needless to say I moved on.
Thanks Dr C! You remind me that good people are still out there! 🙂

My mum literally said to me in my teens while commenting about something else "you have no dignity". :/ - I'm coming to terms with all this in my adulthood

[fred.k]

If you tell narcissist I have all the respect and civility and dignity for you!
They will say don’t use that kind of language in front of me!!
