In Ancient Greek mythology, Echo lost her voice and could only repeat back what was said by the other. Today we refer to echoism as losing one's voice to one who would take control over your words and thoughts. Dr. Les Carter identifies 10 favorite phrases used by narcissists to shut down your voice. But with awareness, you can choose not to fall prey to echoism. You can instead take full initiative to be fully you.

@@crochetingaroundnewzealand I'm optimistic, I don't think mine are going to copy it. For one thing, they are avoiding alcohol (they are both in college now), and his npd tendencies really are minor when he's sober. But when he drinks daily... Ugh, he's full blown crazy NPD. RU-vid NPD videos really helped me understand the crazy stuff that didn't make sense. And he does understand that we will ALL leave him if he goes back to drinking regularly. I'm sorry you're having to avoid the kids, too. Probably what saved mine is that he isn't full blown npd when he's sober, and he wasn't always a heavy drinker. So we just have some understandable control issues that can be dealt with... Partially because the kids are grown and don't need our agreement or permission to do their stuff now and menopause gave my too-passive self the rage I needed to realize I don't give flying fox what he thinks I should or shouldn't do when his control issues show up.

Do you mean: Go away from the person/people, have no contact.? If one is stuck, then seeing a video like this can be so helpful, and learning the skills of congruent communication, self care, deescalation etc can be immensely helpful. I don’t know how far it could help, but it would be something to do using the ho’oponopono clearing work... and maybe just maybe some key things would shift.

That one is pretty familiar to me. We'd be having a so called discussion, and there was absolutely no acknowledgment of anything I would say. Only her view mattered, and anything I said was like talking to a wall. Sometimes I got so desperate I would ask her to summarize my view to confirm that she actually heard what I said.

I'd hear that when he had no other grenade to lob at me "you need professional help"... I got it, and realized he was the one that needed it, got away, and a year later, can breathe. These videos have helped more than any other videos or even the counselor, who in all fairness was a basic family counselor as I didn't know what to look for when hunting for that professional help I was told that I needed because I didn't want to be in a polygamous marriage. I would also hear that I was selfish and didn't love him and accept him for who he was in needing 2 wives. What I hate is that I still get surprised when listening to these videos by Dr. Carter (I've listened to 50 now), like how did I not see that. I still face palm at times. The thing that I like most about these videos that I didn't get in counseling was how to handle that situation at the root or boundary level as well as how to handle the pollution that remained inside of me after leaving. I am much clearer now, but am so ready to be fully back to pre-him/marriage, me.

When I got to the vehicle he asked me what lies I told the counselor for that kind of a reaction. I told him I just answered the questions truthfully.

The problem is, vulnerable narcissists will take offense at everything so, sooner or later, you find yourself saying this to them. Better just to let these people go, but it’s hard because they make you feel like they need you. Fact is, no one needs a particular human being. If you can’t meet someone’s needs, there are 7 billion other people in the world who can at least try.

I had a similar experience this week and was surprised by stepdaughters acting just like their Dad used to. When a sister in law wrote on a weather report I posted, “nutbag” after friends had written nice comments, I knew one of the “girls” had been running around building up support for their very startling attack. Maybe they did me a favor, but just like with their Dad, the first bad event and backtracking and then guilt trip was baffling. I believe I can’t convince in law family members of what is going on so all I can hope is that someday given one of these gaslamping attempts one of them reads something here like I first did a year ago. It was hard truth to swallow but ready helped me finally grieve in advance of my husband’s fifth surgery this year which ended in his death. He didn’t just neglect all of us but himself also. Yes, I miss him and all I can hope is that I can always allow those good memories not be tainted by my thoughts that maybe they weren’t real.

@@remaininganonymous4129 Questions which are asked not in "quest" of something, based in wanting to get to know somebody or something and in curiosity, are an attack - or rather a threat of an attack. It must be difficult experiencing life at all when the most "important" other person is being disdaining towards you. When a child asks, "Why did you do this or that?", I'm most often only too happy to answer the question. All too often, I hear in the same question coming from an adult the effort to manipulate and not the joyful curiosity the child expresses. I've lived through a life of this attempted manipulation without being forced to give up these sensitivities. My difficulty is my getting angry at the person from whom these attempted manipulations come. The anger stems not only from frustration, that yet another person is trying to manipulate me (how silly) but also from the fear that one of these days one just might succeed (again), especially now that my powers and talents are diminishing of their own accord. Who is a person, really, without their needs, desires and preferences? While not every person is desirable for me, for others or even for themselves, someone's own unique perspective is always exhilarating. How in the world is life to be joyful, when the means of experiencing it and playing with it is being actively subverted and taken away? The real question from a partner/friend must be, "You need this or that? How might I help you achieve that (you wonderful person)?"

I said, "No, not confused at all. I'm on to you. You may have everyone else fooled but I see you." She clutched her hands to her chest and proceeded to tell me that she really does care for me and would never do anything to hurt me. I said, "please stop acting, it's no longer necessary."

This totally resonates. My mama was a little more covert. When my best friend in high school came over to stay at our house she would say things to her about me in front of me. For example my friend and I are having a conversation that had nothing to do with her at all and she'd walk in the room and say "Yack Yack Yack"! and then look at my friend and say "Doesn't she get on your nerves?"! " How do you stand being friends with her?!" And of course it would come across as a joke to my friend, but she really had no idea how horribly evil she truly was. If I called her out on that behavior when we were alone I'd get "Oh your just so sensitive. You know I didn't mean anything by that. It was just a joke". "What's the matter with you"? The flip side of that is I would have been murdered by her if I ever said such a thing about her in front of one of her friends. Of course that wouldn't be ultra sensitivity that would have been cruelty in its rawest form from me to her because I'm abusive to her. I guess the old saying they can dish it out but they truly cannot take it is right on and apparently you can't be disrespectful to your mother, but she sure can be to you and embarrass you whenever it suits her.

With 2 narcissistic parents and a narcissistic sister, I was always the scapegoat. One of their favorite phrases if I was upset and started to cry was "If you don't stop crying, I'll give you something to cry about." My father's favorite way to give me something to cry about was an electric cord. My mother's was a belt. And then my sister loved to watch and snicker. So glad I've now gone no contact.

I had actually stopped visiting in group settings around him for this reason. If I had talked to him about it later, I would just be yelled at. Why bother.

Having to deal with them through covid has been a nightmare. It's hard to escape when the world has been shut down and there is no where to go. Thanks to videos like these I have learned that it isn't me, and it's helped me to let go of their emptiness. They will suck you dry if you let them. Don't.

We have to learn that we all have choices in life, even during tough times. My ex have narcissistic personality disorder. And initially I was afraid to break up with him. Because I'm a single mom, and I was concerned about my needs getting met. But this dude convinced me to make certain decisions, that had a negative impact on my finances and credit score (for awhile I still thought he had my best interest, and could trust him to help me make decisions that would benefit me). Anyway the Lord kept telling me to let this man go. Finally I had enough and broke up with him last year. Yes I still have made a couple of bad choices. But it have been easier for me to let certain people go faster, that have not benefited my life in a positive manner, and slowly become stronger and wiser during this process everyday. I pray your strength in the Lord to do what is best for YOU in Jesus name. Know that you will be okay regardless.

From my experience, he resented anything positive. Made fun of my morning yoga, walking to work, & loving my job. He even made fun of the fact that I loved butterflies. He forever accused me of being selfish, if I didn't drop everything to rush to his side when he was having anxiety in the middle of the night from his own drug use. He didn't care that I had to get up for work. threatened that he was going to call my boss and tell him I quit. This was a constant anxiety for me because my job was my escape. In the end, his stalking and harassment after breaking up with him for the millionth time it felt like, was too much for me. I put hours between us. It blows my mind all of the effort they put into trying to destroy you when they don't even love you or care about you or like you for that matter. I lost a lot but I'm very grateful that I didn't lose more like my life. I definitely was once an Echo. I've changed my perspective and become my own Echo. Abusive cruel words do not define me. There was a time when I did believe the things he said. It took a lot of work to change the way I thought about myself. If you're in a relationship like this... please try to free yourself. The longer you stay, the harder it is to leave, and the more damage that they cause to your soul. Peace and love.

In my experience, narcissistic individuals often convey the sentiments contained in the phrases you use in the video but without being so explicit. By being more subtle and passive-aggressive, they create an extra layer of deniability if you pluck up the courage to challenge them. Then they can respond with, 'No, I didn't mean it like that' (assuming they admit that they said it in the first place!) or 'You're paranoid,' or 'That's how you took it up; it's not what I meant.'

Cried myself to sleep most nights. Haven't cried in 8 yrs. I couldn't finish a sentence, or a thought, when I first left, b/c he always talked over and louder to finish them for me. Somewhere along the way, I quit trying. It was too exhausting. Realizing that was a big wake up call for me.

I told him if he did not leave, I would call the police...He did not leave, thought I was bluffing and said "go ahead." I called the police and he went nuts on them. After dealing with him, one officer suggested I should get a restraining order against him as they escorted him away. Narcissists REALLY do not like it when you set boundaries!

Oh, yeah! “My Mum thinks you are crazy.” “My colleagues think that you have mental health issues. They all agree with me.” I had never met any of them, but did tell him that I was happy to have a meeting scheduled and discuss who was crazy and which one of us had mental health issues.

I’m sorry. I too can’t just leave them. I don’t want them to be alone. I want to prove to them that they’re wrong about me and I’m not like everyone else that has abandoned them. Mine admits they have a problem though, at least. They still do whatever they want but after, they apologize and remind me they are working on themselves and say the kindest things and most sweetest gestures. I wish they would one day wake up. It’s like they’re lost. My parents are almost the same. It’s so exhausting.

When I heard the term, "echoism" I thought it was as I experience. When ever I express that I am angry, they immediately, and without any acknowledgment echo that they are angry. If I say that hurts, they echo "I'm hurt". If I'm frustrated, they echo that they are frustrated. Its like an echo of my own complain that dismisses my voice, feelings and assert them to the forefront. The most aggravating part is when I call it out, STILL no acknowledgment or recanting of their position.

This is exactly what I experience with my mother. Never owns her wrong doing and vindictive behavior. She is The Queen!. She distorts and fabricates history to justify her behavior as appropriate, considering what I did, even though I never did it. Then the amnesia sets in and she makes all nicey nice like nothing has happened, to Hoover me back in. This no longer works and I rarely communicate with her. Only on birthdays and holidays as a mere courtesy. These are sad people wirh a big, black hole where their soul should be. I am so eternally grateful that I had a family member who was very loving to me so I did not become like her. I did not realize their profound impact on me and how it saved me until I was an adult.

I heard phrases like this from my father for 40 years. I finally cut communication with him, refusing to speak with him except at family functions where there were others watching and listening to what he said. At age 42, I learned a trick for getting his voice and negative comments out of my head. I imagined them coming from someone whose opinion doesn't and never did matter to me (I chose an angry preteen in an online game, but it could be a politician, a celebrity, or anyone else). The trick worked like magic for me, and I no longer hear his toxic words in my mind.

If you bring it up to address it, they blow up 0-100 in a split second & release a tirade of insults, get out, I hate you, give it back (anything they've ever given you which by the way often is just a pawn to hurt you/manipulate you with later like the car so you can't go anywhere) & say its your fault you should've shut up/you'll pay for that w/all that mouth.
