These are overgrown children who can't appear wrong until someone else is wrong first. I don't bother arguing any longer. I spend my time with people who don't put every little thing on a ledger.

You just describe my husband 😂 thank you 💖 now I can understand his behaviour😅, past 10 years I suffered a lot thank you because of you I can understand everything 🙏🏼

Before watching this video I was going to ask whether there is a grey area between a covert narcissist and a normal person, perhaps a victim of a narcissistic parent?....on hearing what you  have said in your video I'm starting to realise through recent personal experience that there are covert covert narcissists out there and it's just we want to see and believe the best in people. Thanks Brandon and it's only when you've experienced it that you know the truth when you here it!

7:30 this is the point when I noticed I was being isolated from people and places to make it conjunctive for him to paint a nasty picture about me and set the scene for him to be the victim. A justifiable disagreement with him means there would be payback.

I noticed, after years of just accepting it, that my soon-to-be ex-wife would accuse me of being aggressive in conversations when she felt that it wasn't going her way. I finally isolated my aggression down to me simply disagreeing with her. That, the lack of any accountability at all and the constant victimhood were her biggest "tells".

Negate your natural and understandable response. Sorry for themselves for the most partx

Narcissistic behaviour is remarkably toddler-like, imo.

After cheating, passing on an STD and withholding serious medical information from me.  The last hoover "I'm hoping enough time has passed for you to reply.  If not I will reluctantly understand".  I think he thought he could pull me back in with the same    fascade but it just sounded incredibly entitled, delusional, audacious, creepy and slightly psychopathic!  Lol.  10 months no contact seeing it so clearly now and healing well.  Thanks for your vids.  Everything you say is exactly how he behaved.  Anytime I explained how he'd devastated me and why it was so cruel on top of my chronic health issues it got ignored completely, deflected or just a silent non responsive pause lol  It's insanity installing.

On my next video I'm going to appear with a cardigan lol, nice work here though!

The  boundaries comment is def where it all went down the drain for our marriage. He did exactly that, blamed a friend, told me I changed and become cold etc. I made the mistake of sharing that the same "evil" friend's husband cut her off from the internet during their divorce (4 years trying to get divorced from her husband), I learnt fast never to share info like that as shortly thereafter he cut me off from the internet and I had to pay a lawyer to get him to switch me back into it again. He knows how to block an ip address, this was followed by cutting me off Amazon, the password vault, Netflix etc. Everytime I tried to put a boundary in, there would be big repercussions for me. Still busy with the divorce and now in the worst part which is the financial part. Life must be so sad when all you can think of is how to hurt and pay someone back for putting themselves first for once and not tolerating bad behavior.

I can see and have experienced all 5 traits from my narcissistic neighbour over the past 4 years Brandon. My reaction to them has subsequently changed over time. No emotion, little sharing, less ability to manipulate. Best wishes Ty ❤️‍🩹

My ex secretly recorded a joint therapy session I only agreed to after months of relentless demands to meet. I thought I would be safe in that situation but instead he recoded it, edited it and has shown it to adult children and others. I’m receiving support from a domestic abuse professional but yet I still feel like I’m wrong to be upset as “he was just making sure he could remember the meeting, as you say I don’t take notice” 😢

Thank u

Great video, but I’m honestly broken right now. My relationship is falling apart, and I’m terrified of losing the woman I love. I want her back so badly, and I don’t know how to deal with this pain.

True for me but alas too late

Bullseye 🎯

What happens when they try to get you back . After one year and 3 months I've been ghosted gaslighted and punished for something he was equally responsible for . They've treated me like crap and won't own it . Like I can be picked up and dumped if they don't like what I say . No accountability. He survived stage 4 cancer and uses the oh I've been ill again against me . I've looked him in the eyes and he's dead inside. How do I react? Xxx

My ex had all these traits. Never want to take responsibility, accountability, never respected anybody's boundaries except her own, and if you disagree and say no to her, a non stop circular argument will happen and it escalates. You definitely can't be emotionally safe for these people. They don't change and they only care about themselves and getting their way always. Get out before your mental wellbeing gets threatened and diminished.

Cardigan. That's more evil than any narcissist I ever met

Your context is good but voice quality always bad
