Give this video on Narcissism a watch.  Anyone else trying to escape a difficult relationship might find it enlightening.

I watched a couple videos. Excellent.

Thank you for posting this for CLove and anyone else that needs to gear these words. Reading a lot of the posts you can tell posters are dealing with narcissists - if you have escaped one (or more).

I've done a lot, and I mean a lot of deep dives on narcissism and I've never heard my life living with one described and summed up so perfectly!

Thanks for the video.

I am starting to wonder if this dude has traits of narcissism or something. His inability to empathize with me, frequent arguements (for narcissistic supply), very self-centered (complains if EVERYTHING I do isn't directly benefiting only him), minimizes his negative behaviors and rarely takes accountability,projecting his negative behaviors onto me so he doesn't have to make any corrections, and gaslights me when I bring up his negative patterns of behavior.

Why tf do I keep attracting narcissistic men? And there are so many variations/degrees of narcissism it's not so easy to tell sometimes until you're already 'locked in' with them

  • minimizing your valid experiences
  • gaslighting - manipulating someones reality with lying, contradiction, denial, etc.
  • constantly being blamed for THEIR issues/casting blame to maintain their grandiose behavior/blame projection/not taking responsibility then blaming someone else
  • etc

They say you attract a type because you are trying to fix a relationship from your childhood that didn't work.  You recognize it because it feels normal.  Usually a parent.
