1. Watching! There are some great things about this on youtube. Dr. Ramani is one. She's amazing.

Sad thing is that until you have dealt with one of these people, you don't really have any way to protect yourself from them.

2. Excellent points! My first Dr. Ramani experience. The original music is also very nice.

It's extremely difficult to wrap one's head around the idea of such twisted thinking. Maybe someone can be helped by watching it.

One thing I found interesting is the description of the "flying monkeys" close to the end.

The whole thing is very well done.

3. Not at that part yet. But watching these things, and coming to an understanding of them, is so

empowering. It makes you feel like the scales are falling from your eyes and you are sane again.

Another REALLY wonderful one is Joanna Kujath. She gets right to the core of it and makes it so clear, and then gives practical ways to deal with it. I can't recommend her enough.

5. The flying monkeys part WAS interesting. I think I was dimly aware of that, but

it was the first time I saw it explicitly described. Thanks again for this.

6. One of the best presentations I've

seen on this difficult topic- the impacted individuals and the practitioners esp. the man, very astute. K/R

9. Didn't think people could be so entirely self absorbed and entitled...

Until my best friend started a relationship with one. The lies and the half truths. The carrots they know to throw when they sense the other is drifting away. Their constant “ I don’t want to hurt anybody” when that’s all they do. The fact once they snag someone they can’t believe that they aren’t “friends” after a few years with their schtick.

But now that I can recognize one, I think about the difficult people I have met along the way. Realizing the people that steal all the oxygen out of the room are the ones that will suck the life out of you.

10. Exactly this...

the people that steal all the oxygen out of the room are the ones that will suck the life out of you.

11. Had a "relationship" with a narc....

If I could send him one message it would be this:

“It was about you, it was always about you, it was always going to be about you, fuck you”

And that’s all I have to say about that.....

12. Soo many of us agree totally.

Double FU.

14. My mother is a malignant narcissist.

My middle brother and I were the most broken by it. We have both had quite a bit of therapy. Most of the time, we know how to push back and deal with her. We confer about it. We do not visit her. We try to avoid any contact other than a monthly phone call. She is 92, and she will never change.

My youngest brother lives as far away from her as possible, and avoids her. His contact with her is also minimal.

It took me a long time to understand what she is. I can still be affected by it if I am not careful.

My dad, now deceased, was her enabler.

Thank you for posting it. I needed some reminders.
