The worst person you can deal with in this life, is a narcissist. They are evil, selfish, crafty, ruthless and heartless.

Living a narcissistic free lifestyle has caused me to learn of how abused I’ve been both personally and professionally. Narcissism has warranted me to use much more discernment. Thank you for this information

There should be safe houses for victims of malignant narcissists cause I'd definitely make use of one

I had a friend who dated a narcissist she met at church. He had even physically abused her several times, once picking her up by the throat and chocking her, her feet dangling off the floor. Undoubtedly, she was trauma bonded. (I know this in hind sight). I said to her, “You’d think meeting someone in a church; they’d never do such things.” She replied, “That’s where the wolves hide.”

She was in a “cycle of abuse” broke up with him, and would get back with him. She was even seeing a therapist, who gave her tips/ little exercises - to try to teach this narcissist better behaviors… So, she was back in the honeymoon stage, and telling me what nice things he was doing for her…
I told her, “I’m not trying to tell you how to live your life, and your choices are yours to make. However, stop trying to convince me he’s such a wonderful guy- because I know better. Good guys don’t choke their girlfriends. I’m sorry, but unlike your “therapist” I can’t be supportive of this physically abusive relationship.
Well, she discarded me shortly after that,
I heard they did eventually break up/ but whatever… Anyways, I just glad she came to her senses.

But the kicker is; not only was this therapist enabling this toxic abusive relationship- But my friend who was in it- was studying to get her psych degree herself.
Only shows- We need to be careful whom we trust; because we can be misguided…

As you describe these different types of narcissistic behaviors I see faces 😂 . Yep, yep, and yep.

[honeysins]

Wow my father is an Malignant Narcissist, my sister and mother have always known he was a narcissist but he is 1000% a malignant narcissist. My father use to be terrifying, cruel, vicious, psychically/emotionally abusive, a womanizer, was involved in crime, believed he was god and we de dirt, very vain, racist, a misogynistic & violent to all of us. He now is 82 & im his youngest daughter who takes care of him Full time and he is now suffering from Alzheimer’s dementia so he has pretty forgotten the trauma he inflicted on us but I have to live with it everyday.

[johncovill]

Wow, the spiritual narcissists. Now, I understand those people I met at church. Not everyone of course. Those who can quote scripture chapter and verse and twist it into something to support their narrative.

[Spaceman-jomz]

Wow! Great educational video Jill.
Now I know my ex is a somatic communal Narc.
And my parents are covert malignant & invert Narcs.
It helps knowing there’s a clinical definition for these demons.
Thank you

[tinacampbell]

As you went through the list my mind would go from one person to another. I have been married twice and both are narcissistic but both was different types. I'm free to be me now thank God.

[lavadamorrison]

Forgiving does not mean tolerating abuse. The Bible tells us not to tolerate Jezebel which is one of the spirits behind narcissism. Forgiveness is part of healing. It is not for the narcissist it is to set you free from the power of another to hold you in bondage. Vengeance belongs to God. You do not have to stay with a narcissist.

[adrennahall]

I'm positive now that I am definitely dealing with a malignant narcissist, thank you for sharing this video.

[elevatetogrow]

Thanks 😊. You did a great job in providing us with the many evil faces of the cruel and wicked Cluster B abusive Narcissists 😢.

[ktina]

OMG you just described my own mother when you explained the Covert, Communal & Spiritual Narcissist!! My childhood was a nightmare because of her. She is still this way to this very day. I'm currently in therapy trying to process the trauma she has caused throughout my life. Her sister (my aunt) is a narcissist too, but she flips between covert and overt narcissism.

[bonitajolie]

Jill I completely agree with you about the church being a hunting ground of sorts for the narcissist. They also love going on Christian dating sites. Sometimes these subtypes overlap.

[erzascarlet]

I'm so fortunate to have a grandiose narcissist father and a covert narcissist mother. They're the worst thing that happened to me so life can just get better from here. I'm 29 now but better later than never.

[sicibell]

Excellent video. However, I’d like to add that they will interchange contingent upon what circumstance or lie for lack of a better word. The ex is covert but I’ve seen him become overt and spiritual if the situation deemed so.

[SoulForce_]

Thanks for this summary Jill, nice to hear your knowledge about them. Much needed.Too few people understand it yet. My whole family, friends, collegues, employers, businesspartners etc, overt, covert, king baby, the vulnerable, manic depressive and literally everywhere. It's about time they went extinct. Or back to Source as some (neatly) say.

I grew up with what I feel was an overt, grandiose narcissist father. Later in life, still uneducated on NPD, I started a relationship in 2014..it turned out to be the most awful situation and I wouldn't even call it a relationship once he really showed who he was deep down. I spent 8 years with this person and a few years before the relationship ended, I started to search for answers on what was going on in this situation. My ex fit every single sign of being a malignant narcissist/Dark Triad. He was very cruel, sadistic and terrifying and he actually held off from full mask slip for a few years. It was a situation that got a little worse every year. The only reason I stayed for years after I suspected he was a malignant narcissist was I was genuinely afraid to leave.
Recently, there's been a large abuse awareness channel online where the person running the channel - actually asked women that have been abused "why did they lower their standards" and tolerate the abuse.. this content creator is actually a self admitted narcissist that says he's reformed and no longer narcissistic, which I believe is a mask..and a lie.
After 8 years, I can definitely say that people being abused in these terrible relationships initially meet a person they perceive to be a nice person just down on their luck. The narcissist goes after empaths, so I think that's how they fish for one...they present a victim sob story early on into the relationship that makes the empathic person empathize with the narcissist... and makes the empath want to give the person a chance
The abuse becomes subtle, underhanded at first and very insidious. The more abuse that is tolerated, the more abusive they become. So, it's not about lowering our standards willingly. We fall in love with a person wearing a mask over who they really are, and by the time you realize what kind of person you're really dealing with, you feel utterly trapped.
I'm so Glad to now be NO CONTACT and physically hundreds of miles away from this evil person

[hoperules]

so glad you emphasized the safety concerns❤ it's no joke how dangerous that type is

[jasonabbey]

Now I understand the war between my parents as well as their apathy to the boys at home.
