A wise older psychiatrist got hold of me after my ex said I was crazy and was the one who needed help. So, I had a complete evaluation! He explained everything about narcissists to me. He said that in all of his years of practice, he'd had very little success with narcissists...maybe 4% ever changed. He told me that I was the only one who could change. I could change and learn to like how I was being treated, or I could change and make my life into whatever I wanted it to be. "If I were you, I'd go home, pack my bags, leave, and never go back." And that's exactly what I did! 23 years ago, and I've never looked back! I've been happy ever since!

I caution ppl who want to leave a covert NOT to make a big deal out of it:
1. Lay low. Be quiet. Make plans.
2. Save up some bolt-cash
3. DO NOT discuss your plans w anyone (because, Flying Monkeys 🙊)
4. Pack a secret bag. Put stuff in storage
5. Wait for the right time
6. Go quickly. Go far. & Never look back

The ppl who listened got new lives.
The ppl who didn’t - wished they had. 😢

Once you move in silence. It's like spotting the killer in the room. Just slowly

[ippmoeproject]

They will almost always disagree about anything and everything under the sun. They are masters at changing the subject and shifting the blame. They are completely exhausting to be around, even their body language is disagreeable.

[Karen-jpns]

You cannot win with them. Run away and don't look back!

[James-olrw]

Every narcissist is a human shell with a demon inside. You cannot win if you try to confront them. Just walk away, even if they are a relative or spouse.

[hankhill]

You will see rage and demonic energy. They have to protect the false self at any cost

[ingridramey]

Never argue with a covert narcissist... You will not win, only because you will never stoop as low as they do...

[Narc_Hunter]

I’ve tried it ALL. My life has been full of narcissists. Don’t call them out! Ghost them, move, switch jobs, and do what you have to do to get away!

[sportsman]

They are out to emotionally kill you. Sad when it's a relative.

[jacalyntaylor]

Going through this. They are scary and dangerous 😳

[tovenrvik]

Thanks for sharing, Covert Narcissists are seen as nice, they are called profesional victims, their target gets heavily abused behind closed doors ‼️

[jpwall]

It's not that their arguments are better, it's that they're OK manipulating you, whereas you have morals and values that keep you honest.

[nikstar]

“You took Everything out of context” was my last narcs justification 😂…I’m from two narcissist parents, had a narc fiancée but escaped.. I am healing from codependency at 47!! Kids should be educated on healthy conflict and accountability ❤

[analou]

Indeed. I underestimated their level of delusion. They are relentless. One's intellect is no match for that insanity.

[hypocrisystinks]

Always arguing is how they turn it back at you.

[NorseCode.]

I've dealt with them plenty of times. usually they are very nasty. you need to be firm, strong and confident and don't give them anything including your time. they will try to dominate, control and bully you, but when you dig deeper they are scared little boys. they need to control other people because they are very unhappy and insecure.

[peppaminttea]

Long word salad, talking in circles. They love chaos and disorder.

[whodoyouvoodoo]

Yes!! They can not admit fault. They can not take corrective criticism. And when you attempt to talk about your feelings.. oh my!! Just run. Dont even bother .

[andycremeans]

I’ve been recovering myself after leaving a 15-year marriage to one of these. It’s hard to articulate the amount of physical and mental damage I endured.
