Once you see that gleam in their eye at your pain you can’t unsee it!

[steviecrow]

Your pain empowers their sense of superiority. It’s beyond sick.

[caribbeanaviator]

Try to deal with one of these characters as a close family member. The best thing is detachment. Just cut them off...

[Aotearoa.]

I usually identify them by there twinkle in eye when you tell them something that upset you or some bad luck story about yourself. It a twinkle in there eye like a smirk.

[jimzucker]

i've been with someone like that. she wasnt touching all points, but i feel the damage is beyond repair for some parts. Now i know what real evil is. If you are with someone who display even 2 of these point in the list stop all contat, no explanation, run for your life and never ever look back. Lots of love to all you who experienced this. You are not alone.

[rickboy]

You cant be a nice person and a narcissist at the same time. I almost lost myself to one of them. These people are born evil. Their brain is wired completely differant than a normal person. I dont cut them slack anymore. I feel absolutly no empathy for them.

[mikesdigitalshorts]

Number 11 they have a hard time interacting and playing with children children often call out their bad social skills very quickly

10:57 _Malignant narcissists are masters of bringing out the worst in you_

So true.

[Bibleinformationandhelp]

It sounds like the malignant narcissists have a demon or demons controlling them to torture others. A personality like that doesn't seem human.

I have been the sole target of malignant narcissist constant gaslighting in a female friend group. Subtle covert minimization and devaluation occurred frequently and it was most commonly facilitated by her innocently excluding me. My feelings about this over a long period of time changed, self blame, to denial (she's super competitive) then back to self blame, which eventually morphed into the stunning realization was someone who wanted to crush me and enjoyed seeing me being stuck and struggling. I politely ducked out of all social interactions with reasonable excuses, but there was one avenue she had never tried, gaslighting by proxy....through our husbands. My husband spotted it a mile away. . Leaving everyone behind was the only way out. We both struggle with the loss of so many good friends. I tried to rationalize the behavior for so long, but the biggest red flag was my gut feeling something was seriously wrong. It is not normal to be anxious around a friend.

[goldilocks]

I agree with everything you said here EXCEPT some very high functioning malignant narcissists CAN maintain long-term (decades even) marriages. It is all an illusion of normalcy of course, as they are entertaining other relationships and prostitues, etc. at the same time. But some of these individuals stay married for decades while leading double, triple and multiple lives. Some never get caught. I have seen it myself.

[GBiv]

It's very hard to finally come to the realization that I was just food for her and that now I've left I literally mean nothing to her

[jollyroger]

I survived and became stronger, but I suffered ooo I suffered...

I was chosen as an attack target pretty much exactly one year ago from a malignant narcissist. Their target was my wife who they wanted to f***. They were people I was conditioned to think were good friends. We went on vacation with them and on our trip (the first night) the narc basically wanted carte' blanche approval to f*** my wife along with his. I said I wasn't on board with that and the degradation and discard started immediately. This guy attacked my parenting ability, my social ability, and my integrity to the point that I actually had a breakdown. This was day one of a two week vacation. He spent the next two weeks attempting to isolate, degrade and discard me in the hope that he would get what he wanted, which was the chance to f*** my wife. The sad thing for me is that my wife is a covert narc and has blamed me for the confrontation and that I "ruined the trip". She didn't defend me in any way, but rather agreed with the malignant narc that I was to blame for getting upset and "ruining the vacation". Over the next months she betrayed me many times by spending much time with this couple as I was home feeling extremely anxious as I felt she was betraying me to spend time with them. She never once held them accountable for their attack on me and didn't care about my anxiety over the matter. I am currently working on our separation in an attempt not to burn to the ground all the things we have worked so hard to build over our 30 years together, but rest assured, I am f***ing out and will be living for myself for the first time in my 52 years of life in the spring when we can effectively sell our house and separate. I didn't realize the covert narcissistic abuse I was suffering (I was blaming myself as a result of the gaslighting) for the entire 30 years of our relationship until I got therapy that she told me I needed as a result of my blowing up at the narc who was attacking me on vacation. My therapist worked with me to help me see and understand what was really going on. It was so clear to her and I appreciate her honesty on the matter so much. Videos like reinforce so much for me that I'm doing the right thing for myself (for the first time in my life... I won't go into my childhood which plays a major role in this as well) and I'm excited at the prospect of simply not living on pins and needles the rest of my life.

This channel is so underrated... "experts" with a lot of followers are no near close to the level and subtle explanations you give! Thanks

[dashcam]

I had many narcissists in my life but never knew untill I dated a malignant narcissist woman. She really took the gaslighting to a whole new level and she touched the other nine points too. She is the one that made me know about npd because I really suffered in her hands. I had to start researching more on narcism and I am glad that I now discovered even the hidden ones that has been subtly tormenting me in my family, at work, in church. Now I have a strong npd antenna that I pay attention to everyone around me. I have removed many of them from my life and I am still doing that daily.

[claireh.]

That was my group therapist - he said he knew something I had to fight out, understood emotions and could almost read people’s minds and would gaslight people who didn’t like him. He said he really enjoyed his job and said he was sadistic but was only using it as a diagnostic tool and really enjoyed his job. I spent five years with this guy and it made me act the same way causing pain to my family. It even affected the children in my family. Eventually due to his behaviors manifesting in me I got fired from my job.

[Fabian]

Their behavour is so bizaree after some time u start believing you are the crazy one or the psycho is ridiculous

[MasterSplinterPDX]

Wow. Yep. You are right when you said that one good thing is that the relationship will be brief.

[narcissistinjurygiver]
