Worst part is Cartman was actually kind of getting better with her but he just could not help but be himself.

Never have I witnessed someone so beautifully describe a 4th grader’s relationship.

My mom has NPD, and it really upsets me when she proclaims her current boyfriend has "Gone mad" or "is crazy and angry", and every time I know she's manipulated and hurt them until they've snapped. It's really sad to see her breaking their spirits

As a therapist this is pretty much spot on. One thing I would add would be the first episode when they get in a fight and cartman walks alone and in his head it starts with Heidi saying “we need to talk, we need to communicate” and eventually morphs into her screaming at him. This is an indication that Cartman really does feel smothered and victimized by her and twists reality to make him the victim of an overbearing girlfriend when she’s just asking him to talk to her directly with a shred of honesty and vulnerability, a perfectly healthy request in a relationship. This is consistent with avoidant attachment, common with narcissists

As toxic as this relationship is, Satan and Saddam managed to be an even more toxic one

Cartman is a terrible person, yet I cannot stop watching his adventures with everyone.

I've had a couple close female friends enter toxic relationships, and when they vent to me, I always try to get them to see reason and leave the jerk. Thankfully South Park DID make me realize one important thing: whenever I tried to get through to them, I comforted them as a friend and NEVER made them feel stupid for getting in the relationship in the first place. I liked Wendy, but damn was that a jerk thing for her and the other girls to do to Heidi. Also, I will say that in addition to the Alexa, I thought the change between seasons was also due to the fact that Cartman could get back online without having to worry about Troll Trace (and the implication he got a new laptop and phone at some point).

My parents were exactly like Cartman and Heidi, my dad being Cartman and my mom Heidi. My dad met her when she was vulnerable and told her everything she wanted to hear and it took 23 years for her to break it off. They (cartman,heidi, and my dad and my mom) are so alike, my dads even pulled a gun on himself when my mom tried to leave

This is why I appreciate South Park. They're able to be not only hilarious, but educational as well. From identifying abusive relationships, to substance over beauty, to the truth about pot, they don't hesitate to include life lessons which are legitimately valuable in real life

Honestly I'm amazed at how well they understood and portrayed this type of relationship, very accurate

I know that there's obviously so many factors in why people do what Cartman did to Heidi. But a part of me will never truly understand how people can genuinely be like "Hey, this person treats me nicely. I'm going to treat them like absolute shit."

Craig and Tweak is legit relationship goals

Poor Heidi It honestly just terrible that all of this happened to her. You are on point again on your analysis. He completely destroyed her good nature

I replied this to a comment but I wanted to post it anyway. Cartman being extremely nice to Heidi is actually an example of love bombing which is a tactic narcissists often use to make their victims feel comfortable around them so when they are mean it’s harder for their victims to distinguish if they are actually a mean person or if they are just reasonably upset. it’s also used to gain the victims trust and manipulate them into feeling like their abuser is their only source of happiness or validation. Victims in this situation such as Heidi will often be convinced that no one besides their abuser will ever love them

A lot of the things on the Narcissistic things listed on the Healthline article are normal. It was also written by a self described "meal-prepping, CrossFitting, New York-based wellness writer." with no Psychology credentials. 1. They were charming AF… at first (A lot of relationships start off exciting, and sour over time) 5. They don’t have any or many long-term friends (Some people just have trouble maintaining friends due to a number of reasons) 8. They dance around defining the relationship (Some people have trouble with commitment or mixed feelings, it could be immaturity or insecurity rather than narcissism) 10. They panic when you try to break up with them (This is extremely normal. Most people are devastated when their loved one breaks up with them and can very often cause panic attacks) The problem with pop psychology articles is people will read them and see the matching criteria then think "Oh no, I'm an evil narcissist!" or "They're an evil narcissist!", when an actual psychologist is needed to decipher the criteria in depth.

The most tragic thing about Heidi is that as soon as she breaks up with Cartman, she is reduced again to a background character. Wouldn’t it be great to better know her character post-relationship, seeing her get past the toxic relationship she was trapped in for so long. She does not have to be a main character, but be a secondary character such as Wendy who at times has time to shine in special episodes focused around them.

i was just like this with my first girlfriend. i’m so happy i took the time to realize my genuine narcissistic and abusive behavior and better myself. fellas, treat good women that love you like gold. i still wish i could apologize properly, not like a manipulator.

I did this to my last ex, and I was completely unaware that my insecurities drove me to justify anything to get my way. I never thought I was wrong. I love and miss her so much I wish she could see the improvements and I could apologize. Get therapy, and self improve people.

My ex pulled the “I’ll kill myself if you leave” card and by the end I laughed and told her to do it. It really does break who you are fundamentally as a person but as I watched her drink septic tank safe toilet cleaner I knew I made the right decision for myself in the end. Did I know if she knew that septic tank safe toilet cleaner had no bleach in it? It didn’t matter, I simply no longer cared. That was the ultimate freedom, that I no longer cared for this person who put me through literal Hell for 4 years of my life

I think Fat Heidi should've been in more episodes to give cartman a taste of his own medicine

Crazy how well this describes my ex wife. She played me like a fiddle. Destroyed all my relationships by convincing everyone I was abusive. Then while I was weakest and too afraid to fight back, she took my son from me. Thats 6 years gone. For nothing.

in my opinion this is the worst thing cartman has ever done, even worse than killing scott tenorman’s parents and feeding them to him. theres a degree of reality and seriousness about him and heidi’s relationship that makes it more terrifying, maybe personally to me since i was in an emotionally, physically and sexually abusive relationship with a narcissist. cartman and heidi’s relationship is extremely terrifying because i and many others have felt the way heidi’s mental state deteriorates and warps because of cartman, defending him when youre criticised because he was the only person there when you were vulnerable, losing the identity of the person you used to be. i know exactly what she felt in the relationship and after the relationship, the poor girl is gonna need YEARS of therapy in order to be somewhat functioning in a relationship. at the same time i feel seen that someone in media feels the same way i do, i just sort of wish they also delved into what she went through to recover.

Dated a narcissist for almost 5 years (and yes I'm embarrassed but it's a slow acceptance of abuse and things were super terrible but still convinced myself I deserved it because the way I was manipulated and controlled and just stayed because I wanted to work things out until I finally snapped, light bulb hit with what was going on, was able to cut the trauma bond and left) and it's crazy how similar he was to Cartman. Actually, he was way smoother than Cartman and way more abusive. But I appreciated the relationship being represented on screen because in recent years I've seen more acknowledgement about narcissism and what it means to be in this type of relationship. Spoiler alert: it's the worst and you feel like you're going nuts. But it's the hardest to detect. So I applaud the fact this type of toxic relationship is getting more traction because it is NOT just being a selfish prick, it's so much more complicated as we see Heidi change, since many didn't even believe me because my narc, like Cartman, would outwardly confess how great he was and try to prove it. The love bombing, gaslighting, back and forth, Cartman making fun of Heidi behind her back, trying to make her "undersirable" (fat) so she'd be even more dependent on him, and so much more, it's all calculated. I still to this day have no idea if they are 100% aware about what they are doing, or if it's both a conscious and unconscious thing. It's wild. But I do believe these types of people will never change and their abuse really is almost worse than physical. Lots of times I wished I was beaten instead of mentally playing gymnastics because I felt like what was going on wasnt real, your world is turned upside down, you start questioning everything, your personality changes, and worse yet, siding with your abuser willingly! At least bruises would have been easier to see proof of, for others to see and for myself (but am in no way saying ANY type of abuse is ever okay). But all I can say is narcs mentally break you if you're not prepared for this kind of person or you're inexperienced. Everyone going through this right now, man or woman: from someone who struggled to get over the lasting abuse and PTSD after the breakup for over year, it gets better. So much better. And you should 100% take that uncomfortable leap and end it, because although it was painful, I knew I deserved better and if not now, when? You're future self will thank you. And yes, you'll find someone 100% better for you. And you'll also love YOURSELF 100% more later too. After healing, I couldn't believe how far I fell and had let someone just abuse me so much. At the time I couldn't really understand or see it. But it's not healthy and you know deep down your gut has always been saying "this isn't right". Trust. Your. Gut. I should have trusted mine, not my heart. My heart was wrooooong. That wasn't love that was a trauma bond! And yes. The narc will get his karma. The gf after me reached out after a year of dating him to tell me (she knew my name because my abuser mfed me telling everyone I was still crazy so she looked me up lol) that my old abuser abused her as well and said he was nuts and felt like she was going crazy. And I know he'll do it again too. It's a pattern. And it's not you, it's them. Trust me karma will catch up to them.

I love that south park, a show that's been running since the 90's that's supposed to be a complete joke, a parody of itself, still does an way better job at displaying real life issues than most modern shows that are supposed to be taken "seriously". To me this only shows the way SP has aged gracefully, evolving without losing it's initial spark.

I honestly love how grounded in reality this whole plotline was (as much as South Park can be anyway), and that it was taken seriously throughout. Much better than some other shows I can think of... *cough* family guy *cough*

I was really hoping you were going to talk about this relationship dynamic! I think it is the best encapsulation of how people get in and out of narcissistic relationships. I survived one and the greatest gift they can give you is showing you how to identify them in everyday life so you know how to avoid them and keep them out of your life. Great video, dude!

Remember kids, if some threats to kill themselves if you break up with them or whatever. Immediately call the police and report that that person has confessed to planning to hurt themselves and you are fearful for their life. If they were serious, congratulations you got them help. If they were being a manipulative asshole they now have to deal with the consequences.

This is an older video, but I still wanted to comment. I really appreciated how Kyle pointed out that part of the problem was everyone shaming and mocking Heidi for staying with Cartman. One of the reasons why so many people stay with their abusers is because they feel ashamed for even being in that situation, or because they want to prove that they aren't a victim/made a mistake like everyone is telling them. I see a lot of people, especially in the age of crypto scams, saying "oh, they deserved to be scammed," or "it's their fault for being so stupid to get into that situation in the first place," when comments like that are one of the things keeping victims from speaking up or changing their behavior. Whenever I see people say things like that, I know that they don't actually care about helping people or seeing people lead better lives. The fact that Heidi was so close to cutting Cartman out of her life, only for her "friends" to be the one who ultimately pushed her back into that relationship (despite Kyle warning them that their behavior was part of the issue) was so heartbreaking for me.

In my opinion I think Cartman genuinely liked her for a bit. I mean, at that time he got all his devices destroyed and he was devastated. Cartman exaggerates all his emotions but the exaggeration is still genuine. At the time he probably felt betrayed and then Heidi came up and flashed him, so he probably had an idealized and maybe biased? "perfect" vision of Heidi and fell in love with her. Cartman probably had a worse if not already shit vision of the other guys so Heidi was probably a gift to him at the moment. I mean, through out the season he didn't use her, and if he did, it wasn't for himself. Whenever Cartman would use or manipulate someone it would usually be because he wanted something, but he didn't have a reason to use her. Cartman isn't the type of person who would go out of his way doing all that just for nothing, but if he genuinely liked Heidi, it would make sense. Plus, he even began to be appreciative to the boys for destroying his devices and stated he was happier with Heidi. It wouldn't make sense for that to be an act, because what would be the point of it? AND he would definitely have a burning rage for the boys nonetheless, unless he was actually appreciative. Most importantly, If you take in mind that he thought Heidi was a fake and lost all interest for her right when he found out that Heidi wasn't as funny as he thought, it wouldn't make sense if he DIDN'T actually think she was smart and funny before. I think the relationship was genuinely I guess you could say "healthy" at the moment, but after that he definitely was a manipulative assfuck to her and the whole relationship turned in to a somehow even bigger abomination.

Wow, kids in the show portray an abusive relationship better than movies and other TV shows nowadays. Toxic relationships nowadays on television become more dramatic with the overacting. I think South Park did it in a way that is so believable. It’s so sad that Hollywood has to glamorize abusive relationships. South Park just goes straight to the point. Matt and Trey really have done their homework for sure.

wow! This was me at 16 with my 21 year old girlfriend. I actually confronted her years later: "..... you're lucky I didn't kill you for that!"

It's kind of surreal going back to older episodes and seeing Heidi in the background, especially if Cartman's there.

Heidi deserves better tbh

I don’t know if I’d say cartman’s constant gushing over Heidi at the start was all an act. I do think he was exaggerating be it to show off his relationship (mainly to Kyle) or bc he was “woke” at the time. There was a definite change in Cartman once Heidi flashed him. (ex: him confronting butters over his wieners out movement) Even though Cartman was totally fucking around with the “women are funny” stuff at first, he rlly did like Heidi and wanted to be good to her. But after butters’ incel influence and cartman’s own awful personality creeping in, it became toxic. We know from stuff like Cupid Cartman that Cartman genuinely loves romance in his own strange way. But like he told Scott malkinson in season 23, love wasn’t as great for him as he thought. Like romance itself, Cartman had this idealized version of Heidi in his head and once he realized she wasn’t perfect, it all went down the drain for him.

I once went through a friendship like this, and honestly it is a shocking thing to witness and go through. You don’t realize your going through it until you look back, and it’s really hard to detach yourself from that person.

My dad is a textbook Narcissist. A lot of the things explained in this video align almost perfectly with my dad's behaviors and sounds a lot like how my mom describes her experiences when they were still married. I'm glad they made an episode about this, because most people don't recognize these behaviors soon enough and end up trapped in the cycle.

She's one of the characters I hope comes back in different ways in the future. She was a great character and I hope we see her in season 25

i always found the whole cartman and heidi plotline kinda boring it was also a bit infuriating that the next season after that there was absolutely no acknowledgement of it. and heidi was completely irrelevant from that point onward, just like she always was. that says to me that she wasn't chosen as an underused background character to flesh out, but a tool to exacerbate cartman's shenanigans again, and to generally mess around with because they can easily put that character back into obscurity with little consequence.

When I was younger, my brother told me that if you stay in a toxic relationship long enough you'll lose yourself because of it. I didn't know what he meant until I saw Cartman and Heidi's relationship played out, Cartman is a monster and deserves nothing but what he got at the end of the Post-Covid spinoff

Really that's the problem with Cartman and why I find baffling that people blame Kyle for his life ending as it did. It's not the boys who made him like that, but that's how Cartman is. He latches onto anyone and try to denigrate others to feel better about himself, to make himself believe he's the "kewl" kid. He was only able to put his life in order in the lockdown, not because Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Butters were a bad influence on him, but because the pandemic starved him of that self gratification that only comes with putting others down. And even as much of a hero as Rabbi Cartman was in the end, traces of the sociopath could still be felt when he convinced Clyde into killing kid Kyle, talking about something awful without a tinge of guilt, while conveniently keeping his hands clean.

Imagine finding a pair of panties that doesn't belong to you plus condoms and your bf says it's your fault you should be going through his stuff...I was trying to clean up. I got yelled at and end up apologizing. I have had it !

Doubling Down is one of the best episodes I've seen to date.

tweek and Craig’s relationship is the healthiest tbh

I think the reason why Cartman keeps Heidi around is actually to do with the fact that he has what Kyle wants. This pissing Kyle off immensely

This is a pretty good breakdown. And it shows Matt and Tray are talented enough as writers to convey this well enough that someone can look back and breakdown the entire process. And that they can do it in a way to keep it in sync with the show.

Another great analysis, I love seeing these Cartman psychology videos, because his character, his life and relationships are just so fun to see a deep dive on. Keep up the great work man.

I’ve been in a narcissistic abusive relationship, and I was Heidi. You very accurately described what it’s like to be in a relationship like that. It’s something I’m still recovering from, and I still have trust issues. But for anyone reading: it does get better. And I’m glad South Park did this. I haven’t watched South Park for the past several seasons, but thanks to this video, I’m going to watch them. Thanks for doing what do you mate.

Watching Cartman and Heidi reminds me so much of my ex and me. It makes me so sad because I know EXACTLY how she feels. Also that scene where she’s out with her friends and they’re laughing at her and asking what she was thinking for dating him… that one hit HARD 🥺😭

Cartman and Heidi could been South Park version of Joker and Harley Quinn

Love these South Park videos they really display mental health and issues better than most of other tv shows do this shows a narcissistic relationship in a realistic way

A dated a sociopath and it was just like this. Came to my aid when I was going through a hard time, doted on me before suddenly and completely cold to me. Ended up making me act just as crazy as him cause I decided to stoop to his level and be petty after our break up (well after I realized how bad he was after our break up cause for a couple months after it I was still obsessed with him) cause I didn’t want to look weak or like he still had a hold on me, resulting in me pushing or driving everyone away. It also didn’t hurt (well, actually it did) that he was an adult and I was barely 16. It’s an absolutely awful thing to go through but luckily instead of judging me for ever dating him despite the red flags my friends were there for me. But now we can joke about how stupid I was for dating him. He wasn’t a narcissist though, he was a sociopath so he also did impulsive and dangerous things like drugs and fighting and generally reckless shit. And being alot older than cartman you know there was sexual exploitation involved. After the fact I learned he apparently had fantasies about killing women he’s dating. The whole time I was in imminent danger and didn’t even know it. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through and it kills me that he’s still out there able to continue preying on young girls cause it’s the most painful thing and was beyond damaging, and you know one day he’ll just snap and seriously hurt someone. Especially if he’s on drugs. I wouldn’t be surprised if he showed up on a true crime podcast one day. Anyway, this is a great video, very accurate, and brings light to a real serious subject that needs to be talked about more. To bring awareness and help keep people from these toxic relationships.

Cartman is the perfect example of an irredeemable monster that we love to hate He should honestly be the villain for the second South Park movie, if there will ever be one

It really does suck how Heidi’s relationship with Eric turned out, because she could have been an amazing partner to Kyle. Kyle is everything Heidi needed in her moment of need. While Eric meet her on unluckily terms, Kyle really got to know her when she was seeking help. He listened to her, encouraged her, and told her the right path to take, and to get away from Cartman before it was too late. But Eric is one another level of evil. Just the same, he’s another level of narcissist. I would go even futher and say he’s in another league of his own compared to psychopath. He’s just a walking destructive machine and everyone from his mother to his girlfriend, to his “friends” can all be his next victims because they don’t do what he says. Eric just wants slaves really. He just wants to sit behind a big iron throne and watch people die for entertainment. But he’s character is all to real and what he does allows us to see the true nature of evil.

Frankly, I do like this. It’s a little extreme but it’s nice to see Heidi recover. Frankly, that whole “if you paint yourself as the victim, you can get away with anything” idea feels like it happens a lot in 2010’s storytelling. Especially when it comes to villain redemption.

i strangely appreciate seeing representation of toxic relationships like these, especially in my favourite show, as someone who has been in heidi’s shoes, it really spoke to me, especially the speech that she made when she was finally ending things with cartman, it’s crazy how accurate and spot on they represented these kinds of relationships, and it shows how south park can really help people, it helped me especially, it showed me that i shouldn’t blame myself and that sometimes there are just terrible people that won’t change, i love how they tackle real issues like this in a very real way, not sure how to end this but yeah, that’s my thoughts on it lol, great video man! :)

Well done video! Ive always found Cartman entertaining, but I wanted to see Heidi kick his ass. The writers did an amazing job developing this relationship storyline. As someone in the mental health field I will add: We also see the cycle of abuse played out quite accurately: building tension an incident of abuse reconciliation calm repeat I would also say Cartman shows signs of Conduct Disorder, a precursor to sociopathy/psychopathy

The first time I saw cartman's and Heidi's relationship I was thinking oh this is cute you know cartman's finally getting a girlfriend for the first time he might change his persona and his personality and then after realizing what he has done to Heidi and what he did Cartman is Cartman he never changes maybe this makes sense Hawaiian post covid makes sense why he became a rabbi and married a different woman because there's a reason for that because Heidi was so toxic with him and he just messed it up. And at one point Kyle try to get with Heidi and I feel like that would have been a better relationship because Kyle is not toxic like Cartman.

I love your channel dude keep up all of the hard work because it’s paying off!

It was spot on and they did a great job of portraying multiple aspects of abusive relationships with a controlling and narcissistic partner. My ex was the EXACT same. Shed always play the victim when acting like a fucking demon, threaten suicide, etc. You eventually turn into that person and it rots your mind.

I actually experienced this myself. It took me 9 months to leave. He would constantly threaten to hurt himself. He called me cringe for defending myself. Any interest I had that he didn't like would be torn apart and called horrible I feel so lonely without him being honest. But lonely is better then that shit other feeling he was giving me.

I like the episode where Wendy thought she loved him and knew she was just not into him but he actually felt bad at the end that he was not loved..

Parts of that relationship too closely paralleled events in a dreadful relationship I was stuck in from 2017-2019, right as this one was playing out... We bizarrely enough met in the fall of 2016 while I was in my junior year of high school and right as season 20 was airing and Cartman & Heidi were getting close.... Looking back at it, it's so bizarre xD Whenever I'd try to leave because I deserved someone who'd actually be there for me this person would guilt trip the hell out of me for wanting a stable relationship...- Anyways, yeah this is why I loved Cartman & Heidi's relationship, it allowed me to open my eyes and take a good look at myself & how I was falling apart... :')

i literally just finished these seasons and this break down is so on point, even the outlandish absurdity of some parts of their relationship - there were subtler moments that felt incredibly sinister to watch, like heidi "admitting" she was in the wrong in one of their first arguments while cartman plays with his alexa inside

I actually went through this myself. From the beginning I felt something wasn’t right away. I had to study all the way I was being manipulated and gaslighted. I was in the relationship for about a year. And that situation can really mix you up.

As horrible as this relationship was, I actually think that they had potential for a interesting dynamic. Maybe Heidi could've been used as a way to explore a softer side of cartman. It could be funny if he was an asshole to everyone else but Heidi is the only one that could tame him and put him in his place. But I guess yendl sorta had that effect on him. Having him act like an abuser isn't a surprise since it's cartman lol. But yeah, I need to get a life and stop rambling about fictional characters lol.

Even though the new storylines and seasons aren't my favorite, I can't lie this is a Amazing analysis.Please do more South Park psychology episodes.

I experienced something like this when I was younger, and I was honestly surprised by how accurate SP got with it. Cartman's go-to threat was what they used as well, so it struck a horrifying chord.

I just wanna say that this is one of my all time favorite videos. I don't know why, maybe i just like the topic of toxic relationships, maybe i just like psychology in general, maybe the video is well made, etc. What i know is that this is my 3rd or 4th time watching it, so great vid man!

I’ve been excited for an analysis video like this! Congrats on the sponsor

You got a sponsor, hell yeah!! I’m so proud and you deserve it. Banger video as always.

I'm really glad you talked about this! Cartman and Heidi's relationship felt so real to me as I had been in a situation similar to hers. It was honestly astounding how they portrayed the manipulation and mental abuse in such a realistic way.

I love these psychology videos!! keep it up :)

I’ve just finished watching every south park episode and I’m excited to either see more episodes or see more of your videos about south park , I love them !

Bro I enjoyed this video sooo much!!! Ur voice was calmingly amazing and not in a serial killer way plus It adds up a lot to the previous video which makes it perfect! Keep it up

Thank you for sharing the analysis of this story. I don’t think of South Park as anything but an interesting show to listen to or watch when I get home from work, but this bothered me. I always blamed myself because it was mental and only ever twice physical near the end. It hurt so much because he would give me affection then take it away then give me affection again, but a bit less, a dime amount then a nickel, then less and less. I felt like I was going crazy and called him out for never standing up for me to his friends, never just comforting me when I was sad, never texting me once we had decided we were dating after we had s*x. More and more. I cried almost every night and he said that it was inconvenient and blamed me for being the problem because if I always cried at a ‘bad time’ (usually at night and that’s also when I was usually with him). I almost ended it because it just felt like he was going to leave after he told me no one would give me as much as he did, and since he was my first it truly felt like it. He lowered my standards and only after my currently partner now held me freely when I cried for hours did I realize I deserve to be held when I’m sad. I deserve to be texted even after we have an argument (he hung up on me or didn’t want to text for a long long time unless I agreed with him or ‘wasn’t angry’ (aka didn’t argue). It hurt so much to be with him, but it hurt so much to be without him because I was alone. It was never him. It was the words that he said that I was afraid were true because I am so afraid of feeling alone.

Always a good day when blooms uploads.

Thank you for making this video. When these seasons were airing, I was actually going through the same type of narcissistic abuse in real time.. so when you say "it almost felt too real"... Yeah. It really did 😅 I still can't watch these episodes.

this video is gold dude. props for the good work I never really noticed the emotional effects he had on heidi , this vid was very informative and i hope anyone reading this who is going through this learns from this and lets go of their abuser

Every point you made I already understood coming in. But there’s something about how you break it all down. Talent! Keep up the great work. Subscribing now.

Manipulative, childish, petty, protecting, all in an abuse cycle just like my toxic narcissistic ex. I can't believe I didn't understand how my ex was throwing tantrums then was getting his ways by making me feel bad... after having watched these episodes with Heidi and cartman. But I'm proud of myself for walking out.

Not all persons with NPD are abusive and not all abusive persons have NPD.

the way matt and trey portrayed this toxic relationship was also very well done, subtle and clever not trying to like influence and manipulate south park viewers who are used to that kind of very clever way of expressing social subjects . like they never tried to manipulate or deceive the viewer to believe something 'is not this way'. excellent work

I have watched most of your south park videos and your voice and the way you explain it is just so great

The part when she yells to Kyle saying "who's being being manipulated? He's great we're doing great" you can tell cartman already had her wrapped around his finger :(

Keep up the good work. You make some of my favourite South Park videos.

Holy shit you are the first person I’ve ever seen advertise PIA, I’ve been using them for years but never see any KZfaqrs talk about it

As some one who has lived with a narcissist for 6 years, it can ruin your life. Eventually you lose every piece of yourself, until you either break apart or become worse than your abuser. If you see any signs, any at all, get out while you still can. These type of people cant be rationalized with, leave them to rot among themselves, they'll die alone while you remain happy.

Congrats on the sponsor my man! You've earned it.

In Cartman's defense, she was super fucking annoying when they were trying to go to the pumpkin patch. Everything Blooms says still stands tho, imo. Edit: OMG best ending with the towel call. Every bad thing you can say about him is 100% warranted but God damn he is so fucking funny

This is a great in depth look of what it’s like honestly. I knew there was a reason I couldn’t watch this arch play out in it’s entirety and it’s because I lived through it. A few times.

This video was really good although it kinda hit home. It made me realise what situation I ended up in a year ago and helped me becoming more aware of it. Keep up with this amazing work pal

Sometimes the worst thing a narcissistic psychopath can be is nice and caring.

i love how intuitive the creators are. they KNOW what they’re doing with cartman. it’s insane how accurate this is.

Honestly, this made me realize something of myself. With how badly few of my past relationships with narcissists and abusive behavior effected me, it made me realize I was the Heidi personality-wise, especially when I came across the jekyll and Heidi segment... it actually sucks to admit it, but I had no idea til pretty recently how these types of relationships impact one another.. thank you for this analysis, i know you didn't mean to help open others eyes to it (especially since you're not a professional,) but it actually opened my eyes to the things that ve happened

Awesome video, well thought out, you made some really good points ! I really like the lowfi beat it makes it super enjoyabke yo listen to !! Even the sponsor part :)

How South Park managed to write an abusive relationship better then most shows out there shows the show is well written

Yo man love the videos the break down of this show and its relationships is interesting as fuck to watch and understand keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to what you post next

Wow man. I needed this video, thank you ❤️

I was thinking what I just got out of was a narcissist creating a toxic relationship and I was questioning. I started to conclude it was and this video showed it....it's crazy how much you try to be good to someone and question yourself. Happy for the lesson learned, hurt for growing through it but thank you for this because it was spot on but luckily I got out soon enough so I didn't transform.
