Hallo powerful
galactic beings, welcome back to another video.
A narcissist is someone who believes they are superior to others.
Their ability to trip people up is exactly related to their ability to feel good about themselves.
A narcissist is someone who seems to be the nice guy, the savior, or the hero when in actuality
they are eviler. Being a narcissist entails more than just having a strong sense of self-worth.
A narcissist, on the other hand, is someone who will purposefully cause others to fail in
order for them to succeed. Sometimes they want to be recognized and appreciated is
so intense that narcissists would stage drama in order to appear like heroes.
Gas-lighting—one of a narcissist's most powerful weapons—is the manipulation of people to the
point of making the other person believe they are nothing and can't accomplish things (or
that they are going insane because they fail so often). Not all narcissists want to harm you.
As with most things in life, persons suffering with narcissism experience it in varying degrees
of intensity. Narcissism manifests itself in varying degrees, ranging from overdeveloped
self-esteem or confidence to a hidden cruel side that only makes you feel good if you can shatter
other people's ambitions. Being in a relationship with a narcissist is especially damaging if the
person is permitted to manipulate and degrade their spouse. To be clear, if your partner's
narcissistic personality is dragging you down and producing considerable self-doubt, you are in an
abusive relationship with a severe narcissist. The narcissist usually picks a powerful spouse
with whom they can build their own dominance and superiority. Instead of concentrating on their
own lives, they waste their time tearing down yours in order to feel significant. There are
a few patterns and indicators that may indicate you are in a relationship with a narcissist.
Remember that the level of narcissism can range from being obviously narcissistic
(having excessive self-confidence) to being malignant (having no empathy or understanding
with others, as well as expecting others to fail and disappointing them intentionally).
Your confidence is dwindling, while theirs is increasing. The narcissistic relationship will
not elevate you. They spend their time undermining your self-esteem by pointing out all of your
weaknesses and previous mistakes. Of course, if someone did that to you, you'd probably urge them
to leave you alone because you'd identified them as your adversary. A narcissist, on the
other hand, is cunning. Narcissists will act as if they care. They will tell you how much they want
you to succeed, how much they believe in you, and how they want nothing but the best for you.
At the same time, they convince you that your decisions are stupid, that you will fail, and
that you need them to cure everything. So, here are some of the signs. Number 1. Depression and
Anxiety. You're more prone to suffer from despair and anxiety if you're thinking you're worthless.
You may even learn to believe that you require your narcissistic spouse, that they're not that
horrible, and that you made the mistakes. If you can't see your spouse, you'll tell yourself that
you're lonely and miserable because you can't see them. All of these symptoms show how reliant you
have gotten on the relationship, even if it was inherently dysfunctional and destructive.
Number 2. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Fear (PTSD). When you're repeatedly put down,
told you're being overly sensitive, or lied to about what was said, it takes a mental toll and
soon you're living in terror. All of this makes you more prone to deception. If you have the guts
to leave a relationship with a very narcissistic partner, you will almost certainly suffer from
PTSD. Loud noises, abrupt changes, and anything in your environment that could distress you or make
you feel insecure will trigger a fear reaction, such as trembling and heart palpitations.
You will struggle to relax as a result of your PTSD, as well as to trust new connections and
new partners, and eventually, you will not trust yourself. Number 3. Self-Esteem Issues.
One of the long-term consequences of being in a relationship with a narcissistic person is that
your self-esteem may be permanently destroyed. Low self-esteem and confidence are likely outcomes.
You may feel unsure of yourself in unfamiliar settings or around new people, and you may
lack the confidence to make decisions on your own. Number 4. Superiority Complex.
Narcissists believe that they are God's gift to the world. They believe they are
superior to everyone else. Their agony is the worst, their achievement is the best,
and they believe they are the most knowledgeable person in the room. Whereas a good partnership
encourages equal sharing, a narcissistic spouse will insist on being in charge.
The narcissistic partner will make all of the choices and will frequently snap at
their partner when challenged. Narcissists believe that they have the right to govern and dominate.
Number 5. Demonstrates no empathy. When they are slighted or hurt, narcissists will cry.
When others grieve, narcissistic partners show no emotion. A narcissist's lack of emotional
connection can make it difficult for them to identify with other people's emotions.
In a relationship, the narcissistic partner will not admit to hurting their partner.
Instead, they will come up with numerous justifications for why the other person
deserves the narcissist's behavior. Number 6. Obsessed with Their Own Needs.
A narcissistic person is incapable of prioritizing their partner's needs. It's either everything or
nothing with them. In a relationship with a narcissist, there is no room for compromise.
Their requirements take precedence above all others. With a narcissistic partner, you will play
a supporting role as their objectives, hobbies, and pleasures take precedence in the relationship.
Number 7. Manipulate others without feeling responsible. Narcissistic partners will
shamelessly manipulate their partner into doing things for them, even if that activity is against
their partner's wishes. Even if you are not feeling well, your narcissistic partner may
insist on having sex with them. They will use reasons such as they will make you feel better,
sex improves headaches, and so on. Their skillful manipulations take away your right to say no.
Number 8. When confronted, become aggressive. Making a narcissist confront their defects is
a one-way trip to passive-aggressive and even blatantly hostile conduct like slamming doors,
smashing ornaments, and punching walls. If you try to address a scenario in which you
disagree with their behavior, their tone of voice will always be confrontational.
Despite their exaggerated self-esteem, narcissists want acceptance. They crave and thrive on being
complimented. When they are not praised, they get hostile toward their audience (or partner) and
perform in different ways to gain attention. A narcissistic partner may wear a new dress,
and if you do not compliment her on her beauty, she will engage in a screaming battle to grab
your attention in a different way. Number 9. Refuse to Accept Constructive Feedback.
A healthy spouse would listen patiently if you inform them about something they're doing
that irritates you or violates the terms of your partnership. A narcissistic partner, on the other
hand, will misinterpret your words and launch a counter-attack (since they feel attacked—how
dare you tell them they aren't perfect?). If you don't like how your narcissistic partner flirts
with other men at work functions, your efforts to make her see how you feel will result in her
telling you that you no longer make her feel important and that you don't meet her needs.
She will then make you feel as though you are the one pushing her into the arms of other men.
Number 10. Leaving a Narcissistic Relationship or Seeking Assistance. If you are at the point
where you want to break free of a narcissistic relationship, you must seek therapy counselling.
You will not be able to seek liberation unless you understand why you entered into a relationship
with a narcissistic person. That freedom does not have to be divorce or separation.
Instead, it's about finding your footing and advocating for yourself.
However, this may only occur if you feel worthy and autonomous rather than codependent.
Something compelled you to seek a spouse who depresses you. Perhaps you seek an abusive
relationship because you don't believe you deserve more in your relationships. Freedom begins within.
When you begin to appreciate yourself, you will either begin the path to liberation or wind up
exchanging one narcissist for another. Number 11. Last Words on Narcissistic Relationship Patterns.
A narcissistic relationship involves both subtle harmful patterns of conduct and shouting
warning indicators. When you feel you are in a relationship with a narcissist and that they
are negatively influencing your sense of self, it is critical to check for warning signals.
You are witnessing warning signs if your partner is violent, neglects you, pretends you are insane,
and manipulates you to constantly get what they want. Healing begins within. By investing in
yourself, you might gain the confidence to overcome the sabotage that lies at the heart
of your relationship. It will need courage and optimism to let go and go on. Watch more
