At first I was like, "damn okay, things are lookin bleak." but then, suddenly, a pasture and good things. keepin' on through the tough times -hopefully- brings us home one day. Thanks for sharing.
Wise words, my dude. I appreciate your point of view. What you're saying helps me a lot. I'm currently amidst a detachment process from a very narcissistic ex. This has been a very confusing cycle for me. I'm happy I stumbled upon your vids. Thank you.
I figure these narcissists must be somewhat aware of their flaws and they have desires to be a certain way just like everybody. But instead of taking ownership of their flaws they project them on others to see how they resolve those flaws. Like you said they may not even do it fully aware because it's habitual and part of their personality. Maybe it's their way of asking for help whilst not killing their own ego. I dunno. Great video.
Narcissists are in a parallel reality of their own...good that you went no contact, that's the best for your own mental health...they never change it's like expecting an amputated leg to grow back, it's just not going to happen... I recommend you check out Sam Vaknin, he's a professor of psychology and an expert on the subject of narcissism among other toxic personality disorders...
Yes! Like waiting for an amputated limb to grow back, fantastic analogy. They really are in their own version of reality that they force on to the world. Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll have to look him up!
Agree, the way to move past the patriarchy is by adopting new ways of living and being not by copying the same old power dynamics...it's like that vicious cycle where the abused become the abuser, that s*** has to end ...
