5 Signs of Narcissistic Abuse (Parents, friends, co-workers..)

Narcissistic abusers are not always obvious with their toxic behavior; they disguise themselves by being covert narcissists. Here are 5 dangerous signs you are being abused by a covert narcissist. Narcissists tend to minimize your needs; they rarely ever take fault and even when they do apologize, they do it sparingly and without meaning it, just to get you to forgive them. They don’t care for facts nor logic; they only what they want to hear or believe whatever benefits them. Narcissists also tend to forget that you exist, and project false humility. Narcissists rarely approach you first and wait for you to come to them. In fact, they seem annoyed when you come to them with your problems. Do you think you’re being abused by a narcissist?

Hey Psych2Goers! What are you looking forward to in November? ❤

One thing I learned in my past relationship with a narcissist is that they often play the victim and never take responsibility for what happened, while they are more than happy to let you take all the guilt. And once they see it is working on you, they will take advantage of it. A lot.

Just one advice : The only way to stop the toxic relationship is to stop the communication. Imagine a rope that represents the relationship, he/she holds one end of the rope and you, the other end. If you release the rope he/she has no longer a hold on you, so stop communication and run far away ! These people are the devil incarnated !

(Sorry for my bad english, I'm french)

I know how to deal with these type of people:

1. Control your anger... If you become angry you lose...
2. Remember YOU are somebody too.. YOU are human too! YOU!
3. You should use text while talking to them (IF necessary to talk) since they cannot manipulate people that well in text.
4. Avoid them AS MUCH as you can...

Being with someone like this took so much energy out of me and I became depressed for the longest. He made me feel like i was the crazy one and just overthought everything.

The smooth background music is kind of too relaxing for the topic at hand lol

I've recently cut a "friend" out of my life who can be described like this.

[GinaJonesStillettoQueen]

It's Funny how whenever I mention my ex was abusive everybody automatically think it was physical he abused me mentally

[jodam]

When you cut contact with someone like this it feels so friggen empowering

My mom is super narcissistic and verbally abusive, and watching this made me realize that all my crushes have been narcissists. WELP

[zsofiakassai]

My mom convinced me to come home before the lockdown to prevent getting stuck with him for months. I put an end to it, packed my stuff and got home. Dear God, my Mom knew how to protect me when I didn't ... Glad that I have her in my life ❤️

The worst part about being abused by a narcissistic parent is that other predators know you're a scapegoat. For me, that's the worst.

My dad in a nutshell basically - there is no such thing as communication because everything is about him, everything is my fault, and there's always the victim card being played 24/7. He's always going on about how he isn't appreciated by anyone or thanked for doing good things, but never apologises for things he does wrong. He's always right and you can't ever speak your opinion about anything to do with anything because it sparks a ridiculous debate that can last hours, so you just have to stay silent about anything, whether it's politics or something regarding the family, or even you and you want to scream. It's hard because it's just him, my little sister and I, and I get that of course it's hard to raise two children but at this stage we don't even really have a relationship. I try to distance myself as much as possible until I can figure out a way to leave and try to help my sister as much as possible so she knows she's loved - but yeah it's just hard because I'm in my final year of school now and I need some peace so I can do my best

Anyway pardon my rant but I clicked so fast because I knew this would sound exactly like my dad, and I always thought he night be this, but this clarifies it a bit more, so thank you :)

Psychological effects of TV, Movies, Internet and so on, would be interesting.

[antifasans]

One of my worst abusive relationships was with a covert narcissist. He was exactly like this, and it sucks that I didn't get away until after the damage was done :( I'm permanently traumatized from the things he put me through. That relationship broke me, and it's only now (almost a year after it ended) that I'm feeling safe again.

A lot of my famliy members and most of my past frenemies had cluster B personalities. I cut most of them out of my life in search of healthier relationships, I'm a recovering empath.

[partypooper]

I have a friend who fits in most of these traits. They always call me when they have problems and wants to talk about their day/ doesn’t care about what i do. They have no sympathy.

[valenween]

I suffered all my life and finally realizing and escaping that abuse is so freeing

[conchuir]

Hey whenever you can, could you please do a video on the hidden disabilities e.g. dyspraxia, dyslexia, ADHD, dyscalculia etc.

Thanks

Idk, as someone with a very busy schedule sometimes cancelling is the only thing that I can do. It doesn’t mean that I don’t care for them, it’s just that that stuff needs to come first because if not there will be consequences. In most cases plans can be rescheduled but often stuff that comes up can’t.
