Three years into my learning path, i have improved my ability to detect narcissistic behaviors. The more i learn the better i can navigate around these damaged dangerous psyches.
Thank you for talking about the abuse. My self esteem and self worth has taken a huge hit. It's horrible. I have the zombie feeling! It's so hard not to take it personally.
Close to the end, this gem from Sam - "You lose ... your trust in your ability to judge people properly." This is so true. I wonder if this contributes to my (and many others') interest in true crime content - especially con artists, love swindlers, etc. I thought it was the satisfaction of justice, but maybe my brain is trying to course correct my former Pollyannish thinking? Yes, Virginia, there *are* predators out there. Sam, your insight on this would be so interesting. Thanks so much for your very generous content over the years! Truly enlightening and life-saving. ❤
Been reading or listening to you since you started. 100 percent what I experienced in a recently ended relationship exactly 💯 what you state here happened. The hall of mirrors is actually healing along with some of my own work. The narcissist is perfect and evil. No one would understand unless they lived it. You work is superb and exact IMHO
I love your videos! You are such a lifesaver for me as I'm going through this now. I'm going to watch everything I can. My narcissist chooses to use social media to hurt me and cause me pain. That's his main way he causes me pain. I've never experienced this before.
Sam I sympathise with you. A lot of us are trying to see the information from your angle. I believe that I am understanding your explanations, but with some difficulty. Others are simply having much difficulty. Please don't give up, we will all get to the bottom of it.Hope that makes sense. You are a gem.
@julieprice488 lol yep the professor is hardcore knowledge. i went to public school in the USA so, had to teach myself everything lol. This old dog is still learning. [cue Pink Floyd's song Hey Teacher... leave us kids alone...]
After his wife left him, why he went in a "relationship" where the new supply "beats" him and misbehave all the time like his mother. And also she is not pretty or rich or young BUT she is an actress (not famous). He looks unhuppy but he can't stand being alone, he stays with his mother still and the other person sometimes. Allthough he is around 58 as she is too. And his real mother tries to manipulate him to get rid of her too. What's going on next?
Prof.@@samvaknin i have already done it. I have lived everything you describe. Every detail. But what about his child. He comes and go in his childs life, creating huge sentimental problems. . Depends on his mood or situations he wants to deal with. What's the catch here. Thanks in advance!
