They're passive aggressive. They can get uncontrollably dangerous during raging anger stage.

[MelancholyRequiem]

My life was forever changed in September 2019 when my narcissist boyfriend bashed my face into the kitchen counter, leaving me with two seizures, a left broken eye socket, permanent facial disfigurement, and brain damage. "Why Does He Do That?" was the book that made me realize it wasn't my fault and all of this led me down the path to narcissism research and this channel. Just because they haven't gotten violent yet doesn't mean they never will.

[NarcSurvivor]

Many narcissists can be charming, charismatic and attractive. Which is very dangerous. Because really, they’re self-absorbed, lacking empathy and exploitative. They’re wolves in sheep’s clothing. They’re the opposite of what they present themselves to be. But by the time you figure this out, you’re already emotionally invested into the illusion of their false character. You believe they’re something more ideal, rather than who they actually are, which is something you do NOT want, need or desire.

[PCAGA]

I have been married to a narcissist for 38 years. It took me decades to figure out what was going on, he has gotten worse over the years. I stayed until the kids were grown and left home as I feared he would take them away from me. After a lifetime of narcissistic abuse, I became severely chronically ill and mostly bedbound now. So it is too late now.

I’m mostly writing this as a warning for younger people in narcissistic relationships as a warning. Get out while you still have your health.
Sorry Dr. Ramani if this is the wrong video to be writing this on ❤

My ex husband said " I don't need therapy ". I ended up in therapy alone and was the best decision ever. Freed me from a broken

[ChelleMEis]

We need more psychologists that truly understand narcissistic abuse. It's way more common than they think because they get lied to by the narcissistic abusers and it's so much for victims to explain.

[Hodijo]

Knowing that the law will not be on your side is really dangerous. Someone is extracting your life force from deep within and harming you in every way possible, but it's just a "toxic relationship", a "family matter" or a "tough workplace environment" in the eyes of the law.

[moniquejackson]

Brilliant. These people ARE dangerous, and it's one of the hardest things for most of us to see and be aware of. The fear and disbelief can make us rationalize, and rationalize, and rationalize.

[lauragrolla]

“This is real, even if other people tell you it’s not.” This was so needed for me today, Dr Ramani. Thank you.

[GodsChildTM]

Use your discernment and follow your gut. The malignant and covert narcissists, will always come back and haunt you if you injured their egos by calling them out and leaving their control.
I have had this happen even 10 yrs later. They have no sense of time. They do not forget.
I will be watching my back for the rest of my life.

[caroleminke]

They’re destroying you from the first date & you cannot get away fast enough!

[livinggood]

We need a narcissist registry.If there ever can be such a thing if somebody's been diagnosed and they have harmed someone just like we have a sex offender registry.

[teresahamill]

If you're in a relationship with a narcissist, separate your financial life from them. Their irresponsibility and self-centeredness is disastrous.

[melindakingsley]

One thing our society must do for its overall health is to take animal cruelty seriously; It is an earmark of the dangerous people among us. They should be on law enforcement’s radar.

My mother taught me something discerning that her father told her- “A person who is cruel to children or animals isn’t worth a damn”

[Jennx]

Since I learned what was happening it's like trying to perform my own autopsy....going back decades putting the pieces together of how I ceased to exist

[PlumbTuckeredOut]

It's the lack of self awareness! They will condemn you for doing the exact same thing they are doing/saying about you. Growing up in a narcissistic family has destroyed me although I escaped 40 years ago!

[the.toxic.phoenix]

I believe all abusers are narcissists, sociopaths or psychopaths

[jadegreen]

14:49 “they CAN understand your pain, but the low empathy means that THEY JUST DON’T CARE.”

[laflaca]

Dr. Ramani speaks truth to power not just on the interpersonal level, but to our whole culture, legal system, law enforcement and social systems... and how it condones and enables the abuse and danger to proliferate. She is so articulate. Thank you Dr. Ramani.

[JoaquinArguelles]

I like that your tone has gotten darker in the last few videos since this is a life-altering devastating situation we are in. There's no fun in it.
