I'm a safe person and frankly, I'm tired of dealing with people who aren't. I don't have time or energy to try to deal with people who don't really want to get along, who don't want to communicate and work things out. Life is too short for me to keep being the only one trying. I need to learn to stop apologizing when I haven't even done anything wrong. That's my task.

Being a safe person has positioned me in some very unsafe situations - with people who only befriended me to take advantage of my kindness and generosity. I have become cynical and un-trusting, which is alright by me. I now take my time to get to know people before I open myself to them. If they are safe people they will understand that time is what it takes! If they aren't willing to wait, that is their loss.

I believe that you are right, that it does take time to get to know a person, before you can know for sure if they are safe or not. Most people present such a fascade, and can keep it going for quite some time, sometimes even for years!

Me, too! I was RAISED by an unsafe person & always believed I was “the crazy one” because, even at a very tender age, I questioned “why”? (Help me understand.) I am an ENFP. I used to think I WAS crazy and had a big LOSER or SUCKER sign across my forehead. Unsafe people are drawn to me like flies! I SO needed affirmation and mistakingly thought they genuinely liked me. I was CRUSHED when I had opened up to them, nurtured them, loved them and, in a turn of a hat, for any reason, comes the daggers in the heart. Even worse, I’m totally ignored, as if I don’t even exist. YES, I have trust issues. And with good reason. I’m still my authentic self, but I do not invest myself emotionally or trust anyone, even after years of thinking I know them. Those I LOVE spending time with, I provide my own transportation, in case I need to leave, I totally enjoy their presence, I come home and savor the day and I move on. I set a firm boundary around my heart, because, at any time, their will be an emotional attack that devastates me for days. “Do not share your pearls among swine, lest they drop them and trample on them”. Don’t share your very self Amun’s people that will stomp on you. I’m far from “there”, but Dr Carter opened my eyes 30 years ago, when I brought my son to him for ADHD evaluation. In the course of conversation, Dr Carter said “It’s not our job to think for our children. It’s our job to teach our children to think for themselves.” I instantly wept, uncontrollably. This started my road to recovery. It’s a long road! Thank You, Dr Carter! ~M~

Good grief, I feel this. My best friend from third grade to two years after high school was the type to take advantage of my kindness. I was a shy kid, and he was the first to show interest in me on the playground. Things started well, but that wouldn't last. I came to feel sorry for him, especially later on, as I was one of his only friends. He'd driven the rest away. He had a lying problem, near constantly. One time, he'd made up this elaborate story of how he was a masked, notorious vigilante in some MMO. It wasn't his first fib, and this sounded fishy, so I looked into it. He lied. I called him out, and he admitted that he'd made up the story to appear more interesting to me. He would keep embellishing things as long as I knew him. The MMO incident was about halfway through our time. There were times when I enjoyed his company, especially early on, but as time passed those feelings were replaced by feeling drained and used. I was just somebody he could use to stroke his own ego. My thoughts became less and less important to him, and I eventually washed my hands of him. By that point, I had long lost count of how many last chances I'd given him. He was the first, but he wasn't the last "friend" I had. I wasn't so forgiving with those who followed. I still like to connect with people and help when I can (it makes me feel like my continued existence means something), but there's definitely barriers erected. They'll come down in time, but they do so when I'm certain that I feel safe in that person's presence. Even then, I find myself being pessimistic and overly suspicious of people. I've never been in a violent confrontation, but I never leave my room or house without something I can use to defend myself with, even if it's just my keys. I got a lesson early on in the concept of a fake smile and have seen my fair share. Leave it to my paranoia to jump to the worst possible outcome of such a thing. I didn't originally intend to write that much, so I want to thank everyone who read it. I think I needed to get that off my chest.

One like that I was friends with (not a romantic partner) was working an elaborate scheme over time, a scheme that he decided I would play a part in. I watched it develop, waiting to see what his next move would be. I didn't indicate that I knew what he was trying to pull. I knew I'd eventually have to do or say something when the noose began to grow tighter, and it did. When that moment came, I diverted the whole scheme down another pathway, and you should have seen the confusion in his face. He began to run his hands through his hair, and was making noises like "huh, ummm....huh." After a long awkward silence, he said, "Uh, ....interesting." And we were both quiet as I just stared at him. It was weird and uncomfortable, but it had to be done. It wasn't mentioned by either of us again, but I knew I was going to start pulling away, and after knowing him for several years, I eventually just stopped returning his calls. It just makes you wonder if they know how wrong it is to exploit kindness in others. Good that you are taking care of yourself!

I love these summaries - they provide great touchstones! Speaking of boundaries, I know it sounds funny, but as a child of an NPD, most of my life was spent just responding. As an adult, I had to learn how to schedule out my plans for the week/weekend first and then learn to respect them as an adult, without feeling guilty. It's such a simple thing, but I find I still have trouble with committing to too much for other people and not making sure I've taken care of my needs first. It's an ongoing challenge I have to keep fresh in the mind.

I struggled with this also. It is very common for children of NPD parents to become "people pleasers", often to their detriment. We are still unconsciously trying to please the parents we could never please, to garner acceptance from those who would not accept as as individuals and not extensions of themselves. I was nearly 50 before I learned to say no to unreasonable expectations and to enforce boundaries.

I couldn’t take the lying, manipulations and misogyny, it’s too bad but is also a huge relief not to have all that negativity in my life.

Some people (codependents, people pleasers, etc. ) swallow their anger and resentment (I used to do that), which also causes problems - problems sleeping, headaches, migranes, back pain and other psychosomatic problems; some say it can even lead to autoimmune disease. Picking safe people is so important. The challenge is first finding those safe people and not turning them off with dysfunctional behavior.

Everybody is evolving, whoever is learning or have the right mindset to learn is or will be "safe". Time cooks everybody different.

Considering I am living in a tiny town of 160 people I have 10 I feel totally safe around. I think I am a safe person even though I am not terribly social. I have always been an introvert. I enjoy my alone time. I also LOVE the safe feeling each time I arrive home. I know that Ahhhhhh feeling oh so well. I enjoy it so much some times I do not even leave the house but to get my mail at the pobox for a few weeks at a time. Even stretching my need to grocery shop out for 2 months now. Thanks for this It was enlightening. I hope my safe people feel safe around me. I just avoid the people I do not feel safe around. I am not unkind to them I just do not socialize with them.

Chris Pyle We could be twins with the enjoying our own company and avoiding the grocery store...still want a deep freezer so I can go longer between trips. 😊

@@martymaloney1032 OHHH I could not go so long without my deep freeze. I am carnivore almost 95%. My freezer has enough meat to last me another 4 months. Keeps life simple and me healthy. I only went down this time to get my prescription filled. so while there stocked up I know I have to go back for sure first week in Sept so hoping I can make yesterdays trip last until then. 1/3 of my grocery bill of 150 was for cat food. Hahaha YES I am one of those crazy cat ladies.

@@martymaloney1032 OH Marty I am so sorry. I still miss our old beloved Dog Groucho. He has been gone almost as long as he lived with us. Every year I remembered his Birthday as I was there at my friends the day they all were born all 13 of them. Border collie mixes. A wonderful dog. And sadly almost 3 years ago now my hubby died on our Groucho's birthday. At least they are together now. Been up three nights with my old dog after having surgeries on both eyes and his back. The back is no problem but he wants to rub his eyes and the cone of shame makes him even more frantic and miserable. So I try to cuddle him in his bed to keep him calm. Vet saw him again today for check and said he is doing great. Happy about that and he is calmer tonight so maybe past the worst of it. OR maybe he is worn out from the 44 mile trip. Hey if this is it I will take them off for another drive tomorrow. Night night. Eyes slamming shut on me.

Thank you so much for clarifying what a safe person looks like. My husband is and has been an “ unsafe” person . All he does and has done is to be very critical and very much a score keeper. My husband hit all six of those traits dead on. I am so thankful I have discovered you, Dr. C. I watch your videos daily, sometimes I watch 3 or 4 a day. Thank you so much for sharing all of your wisdom and knowledge with all of us out here. I am more than grateful for you and Gus!!! I love your sense of humor also ; I laugh out loud a lot of times at the things you say because these are things I have lived and or am living in with my husband. Thank you!!!!!!

Wow....this was wonderful! If you have every wondered if your videos are helping people-they truly are. I heard the word "Narcissist" for the first time in August of 2018. I have listened to you regularly every since. I only dreamed of having peace and being comfortable in my own skin. Now, having the understanding that I do, I am actually living and enjoying life again. Thank you for the work that you are doing. I do really appreciate it!
