I've noticed that they're afraid to agree with you as if it shows some sign of weakness. Because everything is competitive, and it would mean, in their eyes, that you'd won! They ALWAYS like to have the last word 🙄

100% fact . If you say *up*, they say *down*, if you say *day*, they say *night*, etc. - SO aggravating !

[mj-rgkp]

It’s a power move fr. They think that by going against you, they somehow are more clever and “better” than you.
Egotistical weirdos.

[VictoriaL]

Wow. Spot on. It’s exhausting. No thank you.

[danemartin]

The narcissist deep down really oppose themselves. But cannot comprehend self reflecting...

I’ve been a victim of Kaiser Permanente Redwood City for 10 years - medical neglect and malpractice and by being denied mental health support they mentally disabled me from figuring out the injustices and injuries happening to me. They bullied me into complying to their deranged and unethical behavior until I lost all sense of self-determination and convinced myself I was insane and a problem. Two years into therapy (out of network) is how long it took for me to see the light and see what they did to me. I’m not crazy. They are evil and pulling it off because evil is what designed the system and the policies protect them further from ever taking accountability. They are now blatantly retaliating against me for finally self advocating. Thank you for your channel. You’ve helped so much with your content and the camaraderie from this community proves it’s not in my head, I’m not alone, I’m not crazy. The NPD people who built these corporations and systems of malice and oppression are crazy AF. Their culture is crazy, my culture is loving and reacting to unresolved torment and years of retraumatization. Love you all ❤

So true. Narcisists disagree with you as a default setting, they can’t trust anyone so they project that onto you and it’s either their way or no way. What a debilitating way of interacting with others. It’s bound to bring about conflict or total subjugation which leads to the relationship collapse.

I once told the narc that we often learn more from losing than we can from winning all the time… he later trotted that statement of fact out as if he’d thought of it himself & by then he probably believed that he had!

[Aseeyah-vtkl]

Yes!! Contrary and too scared to explore other perspectives.

[JKB-jixl]

Thanks Dr. C. You're a life saver.

[jacquelinefroehle]

They live by a self made rule..."I get to do whatever I want". Like toddlers that are brats.

[Toshineko]

One thing about narcissists that baffles me is that they can be nice and kind in public, but completely different once you're alone with them. Why is that?

[pugnasilvia]

Harmonysing is like an insult for them. And they lose the purpose of life!

[cindy]

Wow! I needed to see this. I was wondering about this. Narcs are so childish and exhausting.

[avapostle]

I love your channel. You're like a big brother (no offense to my real big brother- 101st Aireborne vet). My first response is to keep the peace and keep moving. Very difficult with nasty narcissists but you give my responses a voice and I don't feel so silly walking away from confrontation. ❤

[thinkingallowedst]

They disagree and shout to then turn around and do what you said and make out they thought it up all on their own

[DemeshiaParker]

There's flaws and then there's Character, i just realized, that's their Character

[michelepascoe]

Wow. It's so sad when you realise this about your relationship with a loved one. Thanks Dr C - you clear up all the confusion.

[BaraSchmidt]

Larry, Larry quite contrary how does your garden grow?
With lies and betrayal and gaslighting blooms,
With eggshells and vigilance as WE know YOUR wrath looms...
Naw! You know what? Time to dig all that up and plant a garden of Healthy!
And stop planting our flowers in the wrong environment!
Stay Healthy!

[c.p.]

Will IMMEDIATELY say “No” to whatever you just said & THEN immediately spout a paraphrased version as if it were THEIR idea …
