Can living with a narcissist make you a narcissist?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tune in to hear the perspective of a self aware narcissist. That’s me - Ben Taylor a narcissist in recovery trying to promote awareness, healing, growth and change. I do that by these videos on here, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook.

👍 this is meant for anyone who needs clarity and understanding of what the narc is actually trying to do while they are entangling and attaching them sick selves to you....Ben is right on point...I believe he deserves a standing ovation 🙏 thank you Ben for sharing...have a great day 👍

This is a great explanation of what it's like dealing with a narcissist or toxic person! Explains everything I went through perfectly with my ex and her pushing me to the point where I exploded. I think one of the biggest issues with reactive abuse, especially in my case, is that the abuse you are enduring to make you react, is done covertly, behind closed doors or it's dog whistling where people don't understand why it's so triggering. So everyone sees your reaction, but not what pushed you to that point. Even if they know you, they focus on that rather than the actual core issue of someone pushed you to that point because they didn't see the pushing and poking from the other person. It's sad really because not only were you invalidated by your partner/ex in the relationship, you are now invalidated after the relationship by people who should understand that what you did is out of character for you.

WoW! I needed this. She constantly would make me react and then accuse me of being mean and yelling, all the while taking the focus of her

Wow I recognize so much of the questions and experiences Ben brings forward

After living with a Narc for 31 years, this explains alot about triggers and response. Trust and lashing out to protect yourself. Especially in a new relationship.

Very helpful video to help me understand what just happened the last 18 years of my relationship/marriage. It’s a giant mind f*ckery dealing with the narc in your life. Getting out is even harder

Thanks for this video. I was able to clearly recognize all the changes I needed to make to experience my true self. I feel love and excitement again! 🙏🏾

Thanks Ben, I myself, was wondering, if I was narcissistic, after 40 year marriage to a narcissistic husband . I feel sometimes, when having conversations, with others, I find myself wanting to talk about myself, or maybe I’m just desperate, for someone to listen or care?

No, it doesn't make you a narcessist, but you woun't see the world with the same eyes as before

Yeah maybe because my dad is a narcissist and now I've been diagnosed with it...and he's been treating me like scum for years. I'm now a shitty person because of his harassment. I hate him so much
