They don't want friends, they want a fan base. 100%.

When you stand up for yourself... you get silent treatment. ... Stand up for yourself!! And move on .

If they are jealous, competitive, gossip,and mimick you,run that's a narcissist friend

Red flag when they low key put you down. My Narc friend would ask why I always have to wear makeup and then try to fix herself up. Always comparing when you not thinking of them as competition.

Red flag 🚩 #3: They cut you off every time you spoke your mind about why this friendship isn't working out between the two of you

Careful: they'll try to come back through common acquitances. Ask you out for a coffe as if nothing, and say to other people you cut them off cuz you had a problem with them out of nowhere. Zero contact is the best option.

Witchcraft...that is what you felt. Some people are infiltrated with dark spirits. Thank you for this video.

Thank you so much. I tell my daughter, who is 19, this constantly. This generation seems to make friends quickly and disclose everything to eachother. Dangerous

When narcissistic women can’t find companionship with a man, which they cannot, they will seek out a female as their lifelong companion.

Envy is toxic too. Their envy is dangerous.

I noticed when I divorced and changed my status on Facebook to 'divorced' I had two old narc friends make contact with me almost immediately as they thought I was at my lowest and were very interested in me all of a sudden. When they realised that I was actually doing OK and was actually thriving, they disappeared again, not interested that I was happy

The seduction and love bombing phase can be so overpowering. These people get inside our heads, devour our emotions and then weaponize them against us. This last experience I've had has put me off people altogether, I trust no one anymore.

They can not be genuinely happy for you. They can not have genuine sympathy for you. They are not to be trusted

I don’t have a single meaningful friendship now. It’s weird how underpopulated my life is. Most of my friends in the past were toxic and treacherous. I didn’t know at the time but knowing what I know now the cap fits all of them.

When you spoke of the constant phone calls & conversations, I have experienced that also with a friend.. Narcissistic people call us like that because in my opinion they are clocking us to find out our personal business to speak ill of us behind our backs! Over time, their energy becomes so disingenuous! They are also hypocrites! Petra, excellent video!

Wow this is validating. I thought I was a bad person for not wanting to be close to my friend anymore. Overtime it just felt like there was this competition, disingenuous display of happiness for my accomplishments, scoffing at my achievement, trying to copy me, and every chance she gets she likes to exaggerate my flaws. I set boundaries with her and now it’s like dead silent when she used to call me 8 hours a day! I’m glad I’m where I am now though. Thanks for sharing your story!

I just went through this myself. She was v intense at first, constant contact, acted sulky when I put up boundaries. She mentioned several times about dating women and her lesbian friends, I agree this is a common thing with narcissists where they try to test your sexual boundaries. She also said she was wealthy but 'wished she was poor.' My gut said 'be careful of this woman' but unfortunately I went through something difficult and was lonely so I leant on her for support. She seemed supportive at first before she started to invalidate me. I also noticed slight put downs like she wanted me to feel bad. She suddenly ditched me out of the blue by text message after acting like a best friend for a few months. I'm relieved she's gone but it was an unsettling experience. It taught me to keep trusting my gut, and learn how to have better boundaries in female friendships.

Red flag: When they low key make fun of how much you weigh just to be mean

Red flag #2: They say you're being too sensitive

I'm 47. I'm just learning what true friendship is all about. I've been raised in toxicity all my life. I never thought it was right, & I didn't feel good around them. But this is what I was conditioned to be around. I've been cleaning house🏠 since 2018 & Being very careful who I let in my life.

The sexual weirdness between you and the narc friend, especially in the presence of her partner in the car. It sounds as if she was purposefully triangulating you and her partner. Trying to create this psychological suspense of could you two be secretly engaging in a romantic affair. You know, holding your hand asking you to move up front. Asking him to sit in the back was a devaluation tactic. She was most definitely putting on a show. I've had lots of narc friends. I'm so glad I tapped into my supernova empath self and eliminated all of them. Firm Boundaries, starving them from supply has always been the secret sauce. I really believe that narcissism is so much deeper than mental illness. But that it's also a demonic spirit that has attached itself to these individuals. Thank you for this video. 🙏💕🌈

I'm so glad you are talking about this, it is important. I've had too many of these unhealthy friendships with other women. I also don't believe in tolerating relationships that are harmful to ones mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. These friendships are incredibly detrimental to you, Ebbing away at your life, in a most insidious manner.

I’ve walked away, ghosted 4 women that are narcissistic I realized these people had nothing to offer. It felt parasistic like they clung to me. I eventually snapped out of it. N left of course they all got mad o well. I was threatened I was down played competed with n on n on n on. Good riddance

Wow! Your voice is so calming and beautiful.

The change in voice... sociopath. The fear she instilled in you... sociopath. All sociopaths are malignant narcissists.

The odd sexual attraction is because the female narcissist will try to use their sexuality on another woman as a last draw to have power over you and try to attract/charm you. This is the go to area they go to with males, so it's a natural progression for them to try to have power over anyone. I had an old toxic narcissistic roommate try to come on to me to get something she wanted in the apartment that would've completely undermined me. Her voice changed higher pitched, she started batting her eyes and she stroked my arm as she asked to run over my boundaries. It was disgusting to me in that moment and I ripped my arm away from her with disgust. I had to get the police involved after that to get her out of my apartment. After an uncomfortable week she was gone. At one point toward the end I called her a narcissist and her response was "so what, big deal, oh well. Everyone knows narcissist can't change". I ended up having to pay her $600 to leave my apartment that she stopped paying rent on and I knew it wasn't fair, but freedom is worth way more than even a few thousand dollars. $600 was painful, but not as painful as having her holding my apartment hostage. Stay alert out there!

I am actually bisexual but I feel like the narcissistic friend uses that against me to try to get more power over me by teasing me and showing me her boobs and it’s actually turning me off.

I remember when i told this ex-friend that I've been noticing she only talks about herself, I was putting my heart out in a healthy way about something that was bothering me, you know what she replied? "Oh, I see...it's funny, that's exactly what I feel with *other friend*". LOL precisely, it's all about them, always.

Just ended a narcissistic female friendship. It was everything you mention here. I have to note that I never felt safe with her from the get go. And I was right. Now, in retrospect, I can see her for who she is. I pray not to fall into this trap again. I take full responsibility for not ending it after our 1st time we hung out one on one, when she was compelling out of line with me because she was projecting her anger towards me from an argument she had with another woman right before we met. I was stunned and was waking in eggshells the whole time we were together. I even said to myself, oh, I will never hang out with her again... then she started inviting me to parties etc... in the end, I should have gone with my first instinct.

Seriously Petra, your phone description gave me chills. That’s what my narcissist friend used to do to me. I used to stand there and allow her to rant at me, never responding. Until one morning two years ago. She called me early, between 6.30 7am. She began shrieking. I shrieked back this time. I’m free. She’s been stalking me, but at least she isn’t sitting on my couch draining the life out of me.

Thank you. I just had to let go of 3 friends from 30-40 years. I was stuck with an old way of allowing narcs to run my life. No more. Thank you!

OMG I PRAYED TO GOD TOO ABOUT THE SAME THING.For Him to remove the evil that's affecting my attitude.I noticed everytime I spoke to the friend who recently dissed me....It was a saving Grace.She basically ended our friendship ...Praise the LORD....

I’ve had mostly toxic friendships up until a year ago. I don’t tolerate one sided people who only are into being around me when they only benefit from me and my pain. I don’t support women who cut me down and compete with me, express jealousy or insecurities towards my success and don’t try to pin other people against me, who ghost me after they get close to me because they find something out about me that makes them uncomfortable with me, who try to control my life and life choices. At 47 yrs old I strive for healthy connections with women who are more like minded, kind and open and understand mutual respect. It’s sad I had to let go of women I even had friendships with since highschool due to their negativity towards me but I don’t let anyone hurt me knowing they take pride in hurting me. I want people in my life who enjoy my company and want to have fun with me and also engage in my world as much as I engage in theirs and not at my expense. I’ve also had to learn boundaries and what I can and cannot allow to be treated by others. Thank you for this video. Very enlightening for my healing path. ❤️ this video also confirms I made the right choice by letting go of the friends I let go of even the ones who let go of me. Friendships I’ve learned are supposed to feel good and safe, not people to fear sharing your life with.

I am distancing myself from a 15 year friendship this narc has always been jealous of me . I cut her off for many years and she has recently resurfaced and I am happily married and she just can not stand it . She takes every opportunity to try to put me down or remind me of the past . A real hater . Well I am not the same person I used to be and this time after seeing her toxic behavior I have just simply began to grey rock her .

“My healthy friend”…. I felt that! 💕

They'll love bomb you with compliments to lure you back into playing the game of constant competition and one upmanship. One narcissistic associate even sent me a picture of myself and used the word 'love' like it was money. I didn't respond. Another associate love bombs me with compliments about people I respect as tools to get my attention. As one of the life coaches on KZfaq said, "Love bombing is insulting. It makes one feel cheap." Don't take the bait!😂

I recently discovered that a friend of mine who has been my friend for over 15 years is a narc. She asked me to move in and I noticed her trying to copy me and be like me. Living with her was like walking on egg shells and the passive aggressive behavior was beyond belief. One time she hid all the pots and pans so that all I had to cook with was a cast iron pan she knew I hated. She even love bombed me when I first moved in telling me I’m amazing in every way but when I met a man and got married to him she changed into a different person then kicked me out. Months after having left her house, she texted me asking how are things. When I asked why she was suddenly interested she said she accidentally bumped the phone and sent it to the wrong person. 😂 yeah okay. She also has another friend come visit her around that time she kicked me out. Better supply perhaps?

I remember when I told my narcissist female friend, after an unnecessary scene she made in a club with some friends of mine, that i don't understand why she needed to be so rude to these people and i started crying and saying that i feel she doesn't give a damn about me as a friend. She told me are you stupid, i love you, don't you see you're my best friend. We reconciled then but that event just didn't sit right with me. Now i understand why.

Yes, I had that same situation with my ex bf. I am so relieved I have discarded her. She definitely raged through mutual friends once I blocked her, and she still tries to stalk me.. Be careful of these people, they are demons in disguise and can crush you spiritually and emotionally. I've healed and have found my peace again. Be strong ladies 🙏

A Narc ''friend'' that I cut off is extremely Jealous & Envious of me, Insecure and dangerously obsessed with me to the point it was creepy. I swear she had some lesbian tendencies towards me. I am so glad she is out of my life

Borderlines are a problem, too...

You just explained what I experienced with a friend and a relative it’s mind boggling. It comes out of nowhere. It changes you because you know that relationship will never be the same.

I can relate to you speaking about the emotional outbursts, and mean texts. Gave me stomach aches.. and I finally ignored her and she blocked me. I was relieved she did so.. even after 25 years of “friendship”

I’m grey rocking a ‘friend’ hoping she will get bored with me and move on.

I grew up with No friends, just frenemies for surviving mechanism at school. I didn't know until 3 years ago. When my frenemies wanted to follow me in facebook and go on with their passive-agressive or neglectful behavour. I'm helping my daugther who is autistic and is target for mean girls 😥 This sh..never ends. Being real is only way. It's painful but protect us. Hugs from Norway desde Noruega🇳🇴

I have realized, like yourself-that I am an "empath" and believe it is common for empaths to attract narcissists! I realize that has happened to me multiple times. I would leave the friendship, ostensibly, because I'm a loyal friend, and when it became clear to me that I did not believe most of what my narcissist "friend" told me, realizing they did not support me (though I never expected it-because I always allowed it to be about them)-that I could no longer be the kind of friend my integrity required of me. I slowly extracted myself from the "friendhip" and allowed them to believe it was they who had the control and making decisions to not have further contact. I didn't necessarily know this was a good thing, a textbook and healthy (for me)way to end our interactions as "friends", but am thankful now to all the teachings (yours included!)that is further enlightening me on this subject. Thank you!

she is the only girl friend ive ever had whom ive felt sexual attraction to, so strange we all have had this experience

My ex narc friend was extremely charming and had a lot of positive energy that left me with feeling almost high. I , too, noticed feeling a sexual attraction. I have never shared that. Thank you Petra for sharing that aspect of the narc dynamic.

Over 7 years with a so called best friend and my friend did all this. I started figuring her out and she would constantly play victim. This lady spoke facts.

I became aware of a narcissistic friend when I started watching your videos exactly one year ago. That person is not in my life anymore. I am a whole different person now, a little confused, scared but AWARE. I am healing and I just want to say - thank you for your videos. This really helped me a lot and I will share it with everyone that I know because I think this is the basic education that nobody has ever taught us in school. Self-love, self-awarness, self-care, confidence... not Pitagora, because if I knew all this as a child, or as a teenager I would maybe never become suicidal and depressed. Dear Petra, in those times I had no money for therapy and I pretended that you were in my room, and that helped me so much that you can't imagine. ❤️

I have been ignoring all the red-flags until my heart told me to stop. Thank you for validating my feelings.

Now I know to watch out for the boomerang, pretending her biting comments never were made... she has started by sending holiday greeting. Thank you Petra! I'm good!!

I am currently divorcing my narcissist husband of three years. I went to visit my best friend of 10 years for two weeks. I saw a side of her that I have never seen before and did not like. I realize that she is a narcissist friend. Looking back over all of the years that we have been friends I realize how many times I was put down, gas lit, treated like a child, I excepted all the blame because she excepted none! I have just begun doing research on female best friend narcissist. This is an eye-opener! Thank you for your video, it has really touched me. Mandy ♥️

If you are heterosexual, the attraction was not a sexual attraction. What you were feeling is the spirit of Jezebel. I know what you're talking about. It is more like you were being seduced energetically. But keep in mind that in every single way dealing with a narcissist male or female, things are confusing in every way you can think of.

Such a validating video. Thank you for doing another one on female friendships. It's a huge red flag when you feel like you're walking on egg shells all the time. That is so exhausting. And the silent treatment! Don't get me started. And their dismissiveness when you tell them you've missed them. I'm sure they get off on that. It definitely makes them feel powerful. Great video, and I could see you could go on for longer... Stay well dear friend xo

Identical circumstance....wow ! Thank you for sharing. 47 yr "friendship" 4 years no contact !!!!!

The odd sexual attraction is so accurate! I to am heterosexual. The "friend" was attractive and liked to dress sexy. I knew she sexualized herself to men. But, occasionally I would feel so giddy around her I questioned my orientation. Looking back I realize she never really listened to me and there was no give and take in conversation. Instead she would listen to my conversations with others then enthrall me as she told spun a story that mirrored mine. The sad part is that she is now in Mental Health. She feels she is now so self aware she can just do therapy on herself. I first started pulling away from her when she did a technique over the phone without telling me what she was doing. I severely disassociated due to cPTSD. She just used me to practice on without considering how it might affect me. I also remember the weird conversations when I started to pull away. For instance she would berate me for not showing up at her parties when I would RSVP my regrets. I grew up with Narcissistic abuse. I could kick myself for not considering that narcissists outside of the family can play their games. At one point as I was trying to leave the relationship she creepily smiled at her new harem of friends and while looking at me said, "You know, I am a Narcissist, right"? I just laughed thinking she was joking. I realize now she was not. Even more she never recommends her family seeks therapy...she just does it on them.

SO grateful for your input, and yes, there is a weird sexual undercurrent. I credit it to the person being a covert somatic narcissist.

Oh, the LOOK. I know the LOOK ! My narc 'friend' had this sort of 'head down to one side eyes up ' like a little innocent thing, especially when she was delivering hurtful words or a vile little plan of hers had come to fruition.

This is such a mature way of interacting with her! This video confirmed my doubt about a narcississtic friend I have and I really not want to end the relationship but rather set boundaries, and if that doesn't work I'll have to end our friendship.. Thank you so much for the help!

A good friend is always on your side! That’s the statement I tell myself about the good friends I have. It makes me question, but the true friends I have are on my side! And I’m on their side. Even though they’ve told me a few constructive home truths which helped me! That’s fine. Narcs aren’t honest in that way.

Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏 I’m going through a “friend breakup” with a narcissist female and while I’m sad the friendship is over, I know it is for the best. I’m tired of the gaslighting, the put-downs, the one-sided conversations… this was extremely validating and helpful.

I just let go of a friend that had that weird sexual attraction thing! I couldn’t put my finger on it but I felt lesbian vibes. I think that she was going to pull that card in order to dominate me. Sex is a powerful tool in the narcissist arsenal they will do any and everything to manipulate and control! So glad I finally got out after 13 years......

This is exactly what I went through! When she began attacking my husband and children, that was the beginning of the fog lifting. Thank you so much for telling us about your experience and how to begin to move away from the toxicity and to heal.

Everything and I mean EVERYTHING you said is almost identical to what happened to me! It all makes sense now. I don't think I'm crazy this is exactly what happened to me!

I have had several people in my life like that friendships. I will never forget the one that screamed at me like you said. Never have I ever been talked to like that. The other one would criticize and degrade me, and I took it for years, when I confronted her, she said I guess I’ve been mad at you for a long time. I never spoke to her again. This was a 23 year relationship. Obviously she has serious mental illness, it was heartbreaking.

I can relate to every single word of yours dealing with the same at the moment! The worst part I did was during my vulnerable times I did tell her few private things of mine which she can use against me I need to be careful as well ! But the calling and texting part was bang on ! And how dare I not pick her calls even when I’m unwell ! How dare I didn’t visit her house and help her during her shifting as if I’m her slave and when she came my house coffee is not good , food is not good and what not and didn’t even bother to pick her utensils after eating food that is also my duty , ordering my mother to get things for her and what not !

your video touched my heart. I am currently in mourning for a friendship going down. The past couple of years has been very stressful and I feel intense guilt for not letting her know directly but I am trying to separate with no contact. Everything you said was spot on for what has been happening.

Please make a video about narcisistic sisters. In my case my mother and older sister are narcs. So I tended to attract narc female friends. Because of this, i don't trust other women and only have men- friends.

You're voice is so calming.

Karma, past life connection, you worked out! Well done.

Thank you for this video. I now know what the red flags look like. Everything in this video is spot on. This particular person no longer has access to me.

Get that target off your back! It seems that I had one that only the evil narc sees. It seems they pile on at one time! When the house of cards fall, they all seem to fall together!

Thank you for this video. It helped me recognize the toxicity of one of my friendships. It’s sad because it’s a friendship of twenty years but I was done with her invalidating my feelings and putting me down. Saying things like « I’ve had so much patience with you », « you’re overreacting », etc I told her « if I’m too sensitive for you, maybe you’re not sensitive enough for me » in my farewell message to her.

With a cup of tea and watching your video I feel better now. It's not easy to realize I got a toxic friendship in my life. I need to detoxing again.. Thank u so much for your video 🌻

Currently dealing with the silent treatment. Thank you so much for this video it’s not only taught me a lot but also made me realize what’s really happening.

Oh boy did I experience this just recently! My friend who called herself my bff/like a sister dipped out on me when she met a guy. I had started to notice red flags before she told me she was in a relationship. The dropped texts, not arranging to meet up, leaving me out of her wedding plans, her words and actions not matching etc. When I called out her behaviour the mask came off and the narcissistic came out full bitch mode! She subject shifted, blame shifted, used word salad and projected onto me. She was so condescending, belittling and used my trauma against me, by saying I’m confused, I think you misunderstood, and the worst there’s something wrong with your head. I called her out and said that is toxic behaviour and don’t gaslight me! She gave me a fake apology and nothing changed after. She’s marrying this poor guy now LOL. And on Tuesday my birthday she didn’t message me happy birthday - not that I needed to hear it because after that conversation I had decided the friendship was dead. I realise I’m at the discard stage now and I’m still shocked and numb. I can’t believe a 10 year “friendship” gone, but it confirmed everything resonated with what I was thinking and feeling. Good riddance but man does your guard go up after, and you want to stay in hermit mode forever… ☠️🌈❤️‍🩹🦋🙏🏽✨

You hit it all on the head!! Thanks so much for making this video!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Your genuine interactions and reactions are what makes you a person with intergerity and loyalty. Unfortunately, misdeeds are inserted in all levels of the friendship that you wouldn't even have a thought about doing but it's easy for them because the vices they carry in their hearts

Thank you for sharing this! I didn’t realize I was in this type of relationship. And you hit everything on the nail. I feel a little silly for not seeing the signs.

Thank you, you are so eloquent, graceful and warm..

Petra, it would be great if you could make a playlist that's all videos on healing from narcissistic abuse and another on characteristics and issues about the abusers. Sometimes its nice to have a break from focusing on them and focus just on the healing tips. They are so exhausting and have the spotlight far too much already!

Ohhhh thank you so much for doing this video. Especially being open about the sexuality component. So many things clicked into place when I heard you explain that. I was not attracted to my covert narc friend in this way however, I explained to my therapist this feeling that I was getting like she was making me some type of surrogate spouse (she is married) and things were starting to feel a bit enmeshed. She actually "came out" to me and this enmeshment started to feel more intense a few months after that. She had even asked me a few months before "coming out" if I was attracted to women and I said I was not that I was very much hetero (I need to be sure I explain that I celebrate anyone's sexuality and believe in equality). My therapist explained that narcissists do tend to actually find someone to reparent them and can treat significant others like parents, revert to a child-like state, and perhaps that was tied to this. But OMG is this a pattern for female covert narcs and their female friends? I see a comment below that says female narcs can test sexual boundaries and another that said "When narcissistic women can’t find companionship with a man, which they cannot, they will seek out a female as their lifelong companion." So I find this pattern really interesting (my narc friend always complained about her husband and how he wasn't emotionally connected, etc. etc.) and I do wonder what this behavioral pattern stems from. But also want to say that after I ended this friendship, my husband even said, just like your other friend, that from the outside our relationship did look like we were a couple. I was so blind to it for so long!! There was some piece of the puzzle that clicked into place from me hearing this description from you so thank you again for what may have been a vulnerable share for you. It was really helpful. And I did experience the other behaviors you described.

Thank you for this. There’s not enough discussion about this. Very helpful. Girl power!

This was so good. Thank you for your transparency and vulnerability

I can’t begin to explain how much this hit home for me. I am currently experiencing this and it’s confusing and it’s heart breaking. I love my best friend so much and I am still scared to lose her even with all of these habits coming to light.

Wow, I experience all of this! Fortunately I have learned to recognise the red flags and let people go sooner. Thank you!

This is so on point that it got me shaking .... There is so much more to release since I recently released some toxic friends from my life. Very narcissistic ones. I still doubt if it was me all along cause her words are still echoing where so much blameshift and double binds happened .. and so much more. These videos help me find my centre again

Thank you for your work. It perfectly adapts to men that are spotted by narcissistic women in relationships in general, and "friendships" in particular

You can feel the love and serenity you emanate threw your voice, its so calming

What a lovey person! Your friends are so lucky.

Ohhh I had a friend who was a covert "religious" covert narcissist who has a lovely baby girl. She is very irresponsible, envious, money hungry, like she was possessed by the jezebel spirit. She loves to play the scripture game as well. But she also transformed my life in a way cause I'm doing things outside my own comfortzone things I never thought I would do like making people aware of narcissistic abuse.

I started to feel very unsettled with a friend of mine a while ago: I realised I had given her so much time, so much help, so many hours of the phone listening to her woes. When the gossip about other people and negativity got too much, I started to notice it. I made a comment once about not feeling comfortable with her asking questions and talking about other people and I could see she didn’t like it. I help her at work and at some point she would call meto ask for advice repeatedly. I gave it as she took over a project I was giving up). Shortly afterward I realised this person only wants me as a support system: the calls stopped and she never had time for a coffee and a chat as the friends we were. Nope. I noticed how she changed her mind about a matter at a work meeting and made sure someone important got to hear how she had voted (she flipped her vote: to everyone’s surprise). I saw that she would throw me under the bus anytime. I now know she has used me to advance at work and now that she doesn’t need me, and as I don’t partake in her gossip and criticism of other people , I’m not fun. I also know that she will be gossiping about me to others. I also question now all the stories she told me where she had been ‘wronged’. Uhmmm…

The sexual thing is so weird! My ex narc friend wanted naked pictures of me and videos of me and my husband. I’ve never experienced that from a “friend” before in my life!

Thank you so much for this Petra, love your videos but this one resonated deeply. Everything you said here made so much sense...I remember a terrible time in my life about four years ago when a member of my family committed suicide, obviously my family were distraught, when I returned home after the funeral my ex-narc friend was calling me endlessly.. I set a boundary by not answering her calls, finally she turned up at my door and screamed (just as you described) 'you are not the only one with f***ing problems!" I was so upset I cried for an hour, but she still expected me to support her. That was the beginning of the end for me...I am really grateful to hear you story, it makes me feel like there are people out there that really understand the insanity narcs create in your life. Again, thank you SOOO much for what you do, your videos have really helped me find a path towards healing. So much love xxx

Thank you for your amazing honesty. I can really relate to this, even about the ‘attraction’ to them which borders on the sexual.

I love that you touch on this aspect, the dynamic in friendships, because most videos on KZfaq where narcissism is discussed often just mention the dynamic between parents and the one in a romantic relationship (those are also important). I think it will help many to see this video and others where friendships are mentioned in this context.

Now that I found your channel, I'm listening to all of your videos. Holy smokes, did you nail this one. I would really like to tell my story here, but i do respect everybody's privacy, narcissistic or not. All I can say is thank you for taking the time to educate and help me to understand that I'm not crazy. I'm a year out of the friendship and never felt better. What a amazing learning experience..

I love your videos they are insightful and soothing and dont trigger me as much as others. These kinds of videos are triggering if you have experienced these relationships! My thoughts this morning when I woke up, when have you heard about a "paranoid" person that turned out to being wrong? Hardly ever, unless they are diagnosed schizophrenic. I have worked with so many women being in the medical field, working in nursing homes and medical clinics during the day and after hours. Dont get me wrong, there are compassionate people out there but the atmosphere of working with mostly women is stressful. There is always a narcissist in the bunch! You dont want to get on their bad side because they will sabatoge you, I had friends like this as well. You come off as paranoid, but every single person my stomach did that flip around turned out to be manipulative and sometimes it takes awhile for it to show.

Thank you Sister, Sooooooooooo much! Your a breath of fresh air with LOVE in it! God bless you MUCH!!!
