Ouch! But true. I've been b-----ing about my Mom for decades. Finally, I said to myself out loud, "This makes me feel so helpless." Then, I remembered that I've often stated power is something we GIVE away. That's when I decide to simply stop being her victim. Now I accept that her behavior is unlikely to change, so there's never any reason to be surprised by it. When she starts down her usual path, I refuse to react in my usual way. The pattern is disrupted, the tension is difused, I'm a happier person.

JP, you are absolutely right! We victim/helpers and the narcissists/abusers have a core of self-hatred, and we're both in denial. The big difference is the victim/helpers try to fix themselves by helping others (instead of themselves) and the narcissists/abusers try to fix their self-hatred by hurting others to prove they're "strong". Thank you. And as Red Skelton used to say, "God bless!"

It also happens the other way around-the. Hold paints you out to be a horrible abusive mother so “it’s your fault they can never heal”. Having to help a friend past her decades of being told this by her daughter. She’s coming around and getting out of the patheticness her daughter beat into her. I told her she let her do it but the daughter is wrong- she’s old enough to play her own cards in this game she’s playing-and you are not required to play just because she’s your daughter...your TOXIC daughter.

As an Empath/enabler/codependent who has spent years learning about NPD Relationships and especially about my 1/2 of the responsibility for forming the "relationship", I can assure you that EVERYTHING JP said here is GOSPEL. He nailed it. Obviously, He is a victim of a TOXIC relationship with person with NPD and he has made the courageous effort to learn about HIS role in the Codependent "dance". Sometimes it takes years to get a clue. (In my case 65 years, I'm 70 now...) JP, I can tell that you have paid your dues, by how accurately and thoroughly you covered such a serious subject. Expressing it in your own words instead of repeating the Psycho-babble we usually hear, will definitely help others see the NPD story in a way they might better understand. I have followed your comedy for years, now I see we have some common experiences with NPD, my already high respect for you has just increased! I wish for you a life filled with happiness. Peace.

It's been the best experience ever....all because I sat down and forced myself to think "what do I want out of life?"

While that is practical for those who are getting away from one narcissist, those who fall into a pattern of repeatedly getting into the same style of relationship with people who have the same kinds of personality traits is a pattern that requires recognition in order to break it. But the idea of self-esteem is actually pretty worthless, and might be what leads people into those kinds of behaviors to begin with.

@@sunshinecompany1 you have to be careful this empath video is a conspiracy. Its actually a veil to something sinister! There are two kinds of people to say the least... Both can be toxic and can see each other relatively toxic but society uses so called empaths to control the other type because the other type can be dangerous to the system and can produce leader type people who may not be joiners to the new world order agenda ...while the controlled type usually due self suicide and may kill its own religion and identity just to join society no matter how crapy it may get!!! Of course yin and yang types can become bad or good!!! But here we have a social discrimination and an eradication of an essential type of human! Don't fall for it! You are extremely necessary to existence! But you will never get credit for it!!! You may become toxic if you try to get credit for it and of course you will not be seen for what you are ! And by arrogance no one will accept that you have any use at all! This world we live in is controlled by sorceress who don't care what becomes of you as long as you are being fed on in a pyramidal construct!!! And doesn't care if you die inside as long as u serve as batteries... But this system isn't forever. It is inevitability crumbling as any society before!!! You may the last of what remains of authenticity and you may go against yourself and destroy yourself just to fit in! But it may not work! Because what else can you be but yourself!

Yeah, I didn't watch much of this video, whether it's meant to be funny or not, because the first part is not funny. Bad relationships happen because either one or both partners is not after a relationship, but looking to use the other. Unfortunately, though, a selfish person doesn't enter their so-called "relationships" advertising that. We can all get used or have our identities stolen or become victims of crimes, but it's not because of who we are or something we did that makes us the perfect victim for it. That said, I do suspect narcissists seek out people who seem kind and forgiving, the types of traits that would make that person a wonderful relationship partner for anyone truly seeking a relationship, but unfortunately it also makes them somebody who can be used long term and repeatedly by a narcissist.

It's fair to examine yourself and ask what you could do better, or why you are drawn to unhealthy people, etc. But it's not always the case that you're with someone abusive because of *you*. And romantic relationships are not the only ones we can have with narcissists - if you have a narcissistic parent (which is the worst imo, but you could also have a sibling, boss, etc) you didn't choose this person but you need to learn how to handle them so as to not let them damage you.

Thank you, JP. I've done a lot of research on narcissists, as I have one for a parent, and I have a former friend who is a narcissist. Not once have I had the concept put to me that my shrinking of myself is a bad thing. I knew it was a mechanism to avoid and appease the narcissist. And I knew it was unhealthy. But I never really thought that it was because of the narcissists in my life teaching me to be that way, and me acquiescing to those teachings. I understand that as a child I couldn't control anything. But as an adult I now know better, and can put up those boundaries, and be stronger. This is very insightful. Thank you, again.

A while back the APA was going to do away with narcissism from the psych manual and there was a great hue and cry from therapists so it was left in. JP, this was wonderfully and sensitively handled without devaluing the other human being. Labeling can dehumanize but you have not dehumanized you have humanized both sides of the relationship. Just as God values each one of us! And thank you for not giving the cliche to just leave someone. If a relationship is like two people sitting on the sides of a rowboat, the boat can be balanced. Personal growth might mean leaving - immediately or with a loving plan. It might mean not enabling the narcissist by accepting being devalued. It is tragic and painful and I understand from experience. This was perfect for my day and my week following on other talks from guy friends! ❤️🙏 Along the way I have had to accept how vulnerable I really am.

The hardest thing for me while trying to recover from being in a relationship with a narcissist has been the poisonous victim mentality of the people who are putting out information on the disorder. I noticed after several months of going to the videos and articles produced by these people that it was sinking me deeper and deeper into a feeling of helplessness, anxiety and fear. Although I fee that this stage was an important part of my journey to healing because it helped me to understand the dynamics of my relationships, staying in the stage of focusing on the narcissists behavior and how he victimized me would have led me deeper and deeper into depression and eventually probably back into another relationship with a narcissist. Taking responsibility by seeking to understand myself and why I was susceptible has been the only thing that has led me to happiness and allowed me to see the experience as a very necessary wake up call in my journey to becoming my best self.

HighFrequencyLiving you’re beautiful and you have another thing going for you which is you know your enemy. I hope you can use what you know to avoid attracting the same kind of person. My parents divorced when I was a kid my mom married a narc she’s still with him. He’s always been a loud mouth bragging Center of attention telling fake stories with his friends huddled around him. He would shit if we didn’t put on a good show in front of his friends. He interrupts conversations when he needs narc supply like praise. He just walks up and says check out this or something. His friends got tired of pretending to admire him so he got desperate for supply. My mom called the cops on him once and he’s talking to them at the front door saying what do you think of my new car? Just begging for any kind of acknowledgement of self worth. Dominating conversations was annoying but he has a bad temper and drinking problem. He likes to throw his weight around even now that he’s past 60 hasn’t changed one damn bit. I hate the man. I was talking to my mom a few years ago she called me and told me that he did the most embarrassing thing. They were moving at the end of the month so he made a picture slideshow on DVD with about 7 copies of the new place they were moving to just to make his neighbours go ohh wow it’s beautiful to get his praise. His brain cells are so dead from drinking and smoking pot for 45 years straight that he didn’t know that every neighbour was laughing at him. My mom said omg I can’t believe he did that I’m so embarrassed I can’t go outside ever again! He often emails ppl pictures of whatever new thing he bought to get praise that way since he figured out how to use the internet. Someone made fun of his dog calling him a runt and he was deeply offended😂 a couple years ago I wanted to put a name to his fucked up weirdness so I googled this: person who always needs praise and narcissist popped up all over the place. When my moms parents passed away he was like well I’m gonna order some new tv channels I can’t find anything good to watch. Lalalalala like nothing’s wrong no fucking empathy at all. My moms been saying she’s leaving him for 25 years..

Well, I live in Western Africa and unfortunately, this kind of subjects are not part of our society. I have been suffering for more than 25 years because of my elder brother. I couldn't realize that I was only his reflection and my entire life was about his interests. He is considered like a "God" in our family. Everything is about him and he is very rude. When I realized that he is stupid and self-centered and was about to destroy my life, I decided to follow my instinct and end our relationship. Now I am more confident and my life is on top, I finally realise that I exist. I am now mad at myself because I am a smart person and I was the slave of a stupid elder during my entire life.

And then I studied narcissism which answered so many questions for me about different people I knew. But something bothered me about the people who were with them. They appeared to be total opposites but yet it seemed to me they had many things in common but I couldn't put my finger on it. Well done you!!! You definitely put your finger on it!

It's a very hard thing to do, as the cycle is full of push/pull and deep emotional manipulation. I had a narcissist friend for over a decade. She did the classic love bomb/abuse/discard cycle multiple times. The last time I started talking to her again I set up firm boundaries, and told myself if she crossed them she wouldn't get another chance. Within a year she did exactly that, so I did what was best for me and my family, and ended her cycle of abuse. She was big mad and said horrible, hurtful things, but my life has been much quieter since she left. My mother, on the other hand. That's a lot harder. I'd like to say I'm only holding onto the relationship so I don't stress out my elderly grandmother, but idk. It's a totally different dynamic when it's family. So I get your struggle. Just know you don't always HAVE to walk away from a narcissist. If you can keep them at a healthy boundary, and not cosign any of their bullshit you can have a casual relationship with one. Just be on the lookout manipulation tactics like love bombing to get their hooks back in you.

There's a type of person who has strict parents who have very strict standards. They always have to do well like get As in school, they have many tasks at home like cleaning, cooking etc. And their parents don't praise them but still pick at flaws, tell them to do better etc. They never get the praise they want from their parents and they're always so hard working. They become "pleasers" their main goal is to please someone and to get the praise they've always craved. So they don't think about their own needs they try their best to please the other person. Even if the other person doesn't give them that praise, puts them down, they don't complain because they're used to that, that's normal for them, whilst some occasional praise makes them really happy. This is the ideal match for a narcissist. The pleaser type.

I admit I didn't watch the video very far in, since if he has a point, he's taking too long to make it. The first part truly comes across like he's blaming kind people for the things selfish people do to them. Only selfish people feel any need to do that. Most people don't want to enter a relationship with their swords drawn. There's no point in a "relationship" with somebody who is not also seeking to have a relationship. The way people behave when they want a relationship is they are kind and empathic and forgiving. They don't use their partner and then blame their partner for failure to speak up for themselves. They don't force their partner to have to speak up for themselves, because they are willing to consider their partner's needs. Who wants a "relationship" with somebody who doesn't do that? If that's what you've got, you simply need a new partner, not accusations that you were gullible for getting used by your current partner.

Brilliant. I never knew I was so pathetic! Well, maybe I had an idea... but seeing things this way, explaining it this way, is very useful to me. I am very lucky and blessed to be in a relationship with a truly caring and loving person, but that is not the way it has always been in my life, and I wear the deep scars of those past relationships. To climb out of this treason-like situation against myself, I need to embrace my own significance, and see positive effects that I cause in the lives of others - I need to have the courage to realize that I am indeed an influence on others, and that it is up to me to make sure that influence is always positive for them. I'm not sure I'm saying it right... but growth takes work, time and transformation.

It's a sad fact that its really hard to get people who identify as victims of narcissistic abuse to take responsibility. Whenever I suggest it I get a variety of extremely negative reactions ranging from rage to ostentatious displays of helplessness. The elephant in the room here is that many people who are claiming to be the victims of narc abuse are engaged in some kind of live action role play/ hide and seek with themselves. This is probably the best video on youtube on overcoming narcissistic abuse I have ever come across. Stop blaming the other, start controlling your own self. Thanks JP.

RICHARD GRANNON SPARTANLIFECOACH It’s a little more complicated and insidious than that, but I agree with your point. The problem is, narcissists being such charming manipulative people, it takes years to put 2 and 2 together. Once it’s done, however - and given the non narcissist is not too pathetic ;) ... the narcissist will get their butt kicked pretty fast and pretty hard too... and the relationship will come to an end. But what if there’s children, I hear you ask... well, making children realise that some behaviours or personality traits are wrong and doomed is a pretty powerful, thus anti-pathetic message, isn’t it. Anyway, JC, my man, keep up the good work you have me smirking away every time 👍🏼

I have personally been on both ends of the spectrum & have realized that I had to dig deeper into my childhood wounds. This is a long term healing process & I am not perfect. Hence, I have been hurt emotionally & I have done it to others as well. Yet, all the situations & relationships have kept reflecting back to me that I need more internal healing so that I can be a better person to myself & others. I can say that it does get better & easier with experience. I have learned about what needs to change within myself, what needs to be let go of, & what needs to be more nurtured. My healing journey has taken lots of patience, a ton of honesty, & a great amount of emotional vulnerability with myself. All I can say is that I am grateful for it all. Best of luck to anyone whos doing the internal work for themselves. Love & light.❤️🙏✨

Very true, persinally speaking, I was a performer for some years, in that cut-throat world you need to believe 'I AM THE ONE' to dare reach for those roles, to dare consider that you could make it where countless fail. Also, a performer, as part of their job, must develop an external 'sight' looking at themselves in their mind's eye in order to moderate their performance for others i.e. know what you look like to others at any given moment. Point being, I had a breakdown after a few years of that and, for 2 years thereafter, I wasin hell due to the fact that I had arrived at a point wherein my identity had become entirely defined by what others thought about me -I had no ability to define myself - and therein was ruined over and over again by the lack of recognition I was then receiving (wreck that I then was). After 2 years, I was lain in bed one night and a very curious thing happened, it sounds crazy but I felt the point of focus of 'my mind's eye' shift suddenly, moving back inside myself, into my cranium. It was exceptionally strange, happened in an instant. A moment after that happened I suddenly thought "Huh, I could go ride my motorbike and I'd be happy." ...At the time that thought was bizarrely shocking - the realisation then, once more, that I had command over my own state. Point being, I think what you write is absolutelt correct and that, well, what I am describing above is, actually, more or less exactly what social media forces on everyone - being defined by onlookers, a never ending performance, a life on show. Contemporary existance is, by it's very nature narcissistic. ...I don't use social media today. I live in the woods, alone, and don't care that I look like a tramp. ...So, I think I cured that issue anyway.

This makes sense, as I was trying to figure out for years, why I was such a perfect match for this kind of person, I drew a distinct connection between when I genuinely started to grow a sense of self-esteem and value, and when those relationships began to crumble and fall apart quickly after. Thank you for being brave enough to admonish us to take a look at ourselves in this picture. That is what freed me and that is what will free others. Its important to look at roles, not necessarily with fault and shame, but to see the whole picture, so we can set ourselves free and teach others to free themselves of it all too. It will repeat with different names and different faces until we grasp the whole picture and take charge.

Mostly they havent anything in common, except that the where neclected or abused bij narsistic parents.. or by violence, depression, illness or parents had no time for them, in there family in early times. Thats why they efface them selfs.. or would help to much to make there world better. They learnt that love =pain or love is nobody land.. so they think thats love. Unfotiunaly they attrack narscists, thats true. But a lot better said: The narscists smell them like a easy prey!! brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr They are by shore not pathetic at all, they just suffer unconscious as long the're not awakening..

I've been subscribed and watching your channel for several months and this older vid just popped into my feed. I was married to a narcissist for 38 years, so was extremely abusive and violent to both my children and me. They was no way out... no way to escape. I was brought up in abuse and "learned" to be a victim by watching his my mother reacted to abuse. I was 16 yrs old when captivated by this "man", My knee-jerk reaction to your comments was that this is not a joking matter. When I realized you weren't joking, I continued to listen. You make valid points. I was the "enabler " in the relationship. By the time I was an adult we had 3 children, and I was a total victim. I am grateful today that by the grace of God, once all my children were out of the house, I was able to walk away-- not caring if I lived or died. Funny thing, he didn't last 3 years after I left 17 yrs ago. I am still single and very happy... never again to be a victim or an enabler. Thank you for your videos!

"1st question you need to ask yourself...why am I a perfect match for a narcissist?" As a person who has married or dated multiple narcissists, I finally asked myself this question 8 years ago. Now I've been single and celibate for 7 years because I realized that I needed to reflect on my own flaws and insecurities and discover why in the hell I was attracting these a$$holes and why I was attracted to them as well. You make a great point. I will say that the narcissists I was with didn't show their true colors right away so I wasn't necessarily looking for someone to mistreat me. However, they did have many traits in common that I recognized in hindsight. I also recognized what I was doing in the beginning to attract parasites like them. This is great advice.

I was born into a family were my father had a personality disorder with a lot of narcissistic tendencies. My mother and father trained me very well to be codependent and to cater to my dads moods, rage and depression. So naturally I chose very selfish and hurting people to surround myself with. Getting into a relationship with a sexual addict at a very young age. I had no idea I was being abused. It was normal. I just keep trying to do my best to fix and love. Truly thinking this is what my job is. After twelve years of sexual, emotional, and physical abuse my life was disaster. A restraining order helped me and I walked right into another relationship with a man who was a lot like my dad. Seven years into our marriage hes been diagnosed with BPD. I have done a lot of work in recovering from codependency, I am also doing a lot of work recovering from complex PTSD. It takes a lot of being very gentle with myself. After so much harsh treatment I need to constantly remind myself to be gentle and loving in my self talk. It also took realizing I was a victim before being able to overcome it. If I would have continued to deny abuse then I would never have been able to get to the deeper issue of why I was in abusive relationships.

@Nevera....your past sounds like mine.

We grew up walking on egg shells around him, always hoping for that rare smile or positive affirmation from him. I then became an adult who couldn't understand, with all my good and caring intentions, why I was constantly ending up with men exactly like my father....narcissistic, self absorbed, moody, depressed and verbally abusive. 10 years ago, I chose to isolate myself from men so that I could work out my apparent issues before considering another relationship.By spending time alone in meditation as well as being careful to be gentle and kind to myself, I was able to work out what I was doing wrong in life. Still single by choice, I now live a peaceful life in a rural island community surrounded by caring friends/ neighbours and can sincerely say that I'm finally at peace and content.....but it took time and a lot of answering hard questions to get here.
