[Querencia]

1. Arrogant entitlement
2. Lack empathy
3. Incapable of feeling remorse. They fail to learn from situation to situation
4. Irresponsible & self-destructive; they do things to put you at risk, as well as themselves
5. They thrive on drama & crisis
6. They brag about outsmarting others
7. Pattern of too many & short-term relationships. Every Ex is a ‘psycho.’
8. They live in a fantasy world of their own.

These people are baiters. Back stabbers, impostors, takers, reckless & pathological liars.

You forgot the most important one. Do their words match their actions? Toxic people say one thing and do another.

[donnaboychuk]

If you are raised by a narcissist, we often attract narcissistic people. It took me a long time to figure that out.

[sharipeterson]

No contact has been the only way I feel safe from these people. The constant bragging, I've learned, is a huge red flag 🚩, especially when I learn none of it is true.

[jdmarr]

It runs rampant in my family DNA.
"No Contact" has been my superpower.
Thank you for this video.
You always tell it like it is without flowery words.

[snowstormonsat]

I know many with these traits and I stay clear of them. I have an entire family on the spectrum. I have cut contact with them all including my abusive mother. The part that angers me the most is that they act fake nice only to lure you in so they can harm you. They get enormous pleasure destroying the lives of others. They are truly predators, never to be trusted, very dangerous, everyone should be taught about them. They should be avoided at all costs! Even if it means losing a good job, losing your home or even ending up homeless. I left my parents home at 14! I was homeless and struggled but kept my sanity and my life! You can't put a price on that. You can always rebuild your life but only if your mental health is intact. Guard it with every ounce of your being.

Finally realized my husband and adult stepkids were allied. I was punching bag. Told all three I would only discuss their allegations in front of a therapist. Deafening silence since then.
I now go about my life in my truth. And wish I had not wasted my funds helping them with their lives, alcoholism, educations, first apartments, and criminal convictions.
Too soon old and ill, too late smart.

[lylux]

I experienced some one who was this kind of manipulative, stealth, destructive, and very smooth. Yet, was popular and charming. I didn’t even know it was a “thing” till a few years ago. Thank you, for educating and giving everyone a heads up on these people, and what to look for. I wouldn’t wish this kind of person on my worst enemy.

[realhealing]

You just described most of my toxic family. No contact is necessary for survival. These people don't change!

[barbaraburns]

Oh ho yes! These describe my now ex "friend" almost exactly. I knew her for 25 years before I realized who she was. Not sure who discarded whom, but I finally went no contact 6 months ago. Never been happier!

[barbaravieira]

Yep.
They are definitely "spiritually bankrupt."

[ginatriana]

...after I do the inventory, no one hardly left...!

Creepy how there's so many messed up people...that aren't trying to reform and change and learn more healthy behavior. It's hard, but possible.

[midnitegraffiti]

Spot On! 🎯 When I was young my grandmother warned me to stay away from people like this. You give them your finger & they’ll take your whole arm. Grandma called them freeloading hillbillies. No one should ever feel or treat you like you are beneath them. We are all equal. Bless all with ❤️🙏🏼💋⭐️

[brindageorge]

Everyone, every person, should memorize this list to avoid loss of money, sanity, your precious time, and possibly job loss or criminal complicity. And yes, they will gleefully put you and yours at risk.

[esmeraldavonlindholm]

I met the most creepy person a little more than a year ago. All that you mention hits the bullseye more than precisely! I am still recovering slowly waking up to the reality of what I’ve (let myself being) been exposed to.

[raybrensike]

I would add two more to that list. A pestering and intrusive spirit that shows up all the time. When every interaction is initiated by them and is always a pestering or on intrusion into your life, that has no value. Have you ever met someone that only brings something evil to the table all the time as if they were a magnet to anything evil or wrong? It's like they are dog poop collectors and they want to show you what they found all the time, and you have no interest in dog poop? And every day is the same. Nothing changes with them.

[ernarc]

This was brilliant. I also call some of these folks professional triangulators. They divide, conquer, devour, discard. And many, as you say, do so quietly, behind the scenes, because they are indeed passive-aggressive. Thank you for sharing this. It clarifies so many things.

[nikkinorton]

I had a friend who was being abused, and she was stalked, and eventually murdered by her husband. Drama followed her around, because of what he did. He had started a smear campaign that created the drama.

Because of what he did, it affected her work. It affected the kids school. He wouldn't let her go.

She needed help, and no one help her, because drama followed her.

Secrets hide abuse a whole lot of the time.

Sometimes we need to help these people. Coersive control is definitely a part of it. I do think we need to be asking questions. Maybe even telling them not to answer if they Don't want to.

We need more upstanders instead of bystanders IMO.

We are told not to call people out for the behaviors that you are describing, but it just seems to enable their behavior and strengthen their behaviors.

They are entitled because their behavior is working for them. How many women and kids would have been spared abuse if just one person would have stood up and said this is wrong?

Dr. Phil I want people empowered to act, and if enough are, the less trauma we are going to have. Less PTSD. Less psychological damage to recover from.

Can we empower people to do the right thing?

[dee]

Thank you Dr. Phil for this information for bringing the dark into the light. So we can guard our hearts.

[higuoy]

I am finally at a place in my life after lots of continuing therapy and education, that I can feel compassion for these trauma based people without condoning or excusing their behavior, including myself. Now this doesn't mean I allow these toxic people in my life, the ones who I can't disagree with without them becoming disagreeable, but I do have compassion for their inner child that developed a toxic amour out of fear, abandonment, and abuse. I no longer sit with anger towards them, but a sadness that their shame and insecurities will probably never allow them to know and feel their authentic self and the authenticity of others.
