Body Language of Narcissistic and Psychopathic Abuser

I keep thinking : Narcissism is a million times worse than anything you hear or read about, you have to have been a victim to understand.

They avoid contact with those who've figured them out.

"A pond pretending to be an ocean" well said

The covert narcissist can appear to be almost normal until something triggers them. It might take a long time. That's why they can hurt you even more than regular narcissists.

"He is a pond pretending to be an ocean" There are always the most accurate and enlightening quotes on these videos.

Humility, kindness, empathy and willingness to be open - never in a narcissist.

The best way to defend yourself from all sorts of abusers is understanding them and knowing yourself. Knowledge is power.

This should be required material in public schools. So many narcissists and psychopaths out there it is essential people learn how to spot them.

I think he just described every politician and celebrity in Hollywood.

I was "discarded" by a person who exhibited all the narcissist regalia. Boy was that the happiest day of my life!!

All of this was my ex. He reeked havoc on all aspects of my life. Calm, aloof, no remorse, grandiose, parasitic abuser

i will never marry a man that reminds me of my dad.. never

When confronted and cornered and loosing control they start to shake their head from side to side, stare blankly at you, eyes look black, face somehow changes, defensive body language.......very scary

Just wanted to state something from my experience: Female narcissists are surprisingly similar to the male archetype. As a victim it's sometimes difficult to not become LIKE them in order to survive. The best advice I've heard from everyone is to get out, or gain distance, asap, before the narcissist manages to turn the tables for the observers and is able to play the victim when you fight back or establish boundaries.

They can also abuse their children, and they just don't care. You are just an object to them.

My sense of self-worth was nearly destroyed due to falling for a narcissist early on in my adult life. Relationships with narcissists are very unhealthy. Remember to never compromise to take a shot at what you think at the time is 'love'.

I got fired this past week by someone exactly like what he is saying except for 1 trait...when I walked out the door and challenged him to bully me outside he locked all the doors and called the police...mind you I am 5'11 and he is 6'2...narcissists are the biggest cowards too

The world is becoming full of narcissists 😬.

I have a Narcissist father. He will always get his way,  at times disrespecting his own family allowing outsiders to intervene. I have also realized that Narcissists work in groups assisting each other. There is a collective Elitist thought that keeps them together. Even a psychologist was in on the program it was later discovered that he had been taking social favors for assisting my father get his way. Over the years I have found a lot of solitude being on my own. I might have traits of what you are describing in your video. Thanks. Videos like this help people who come from narcissistic families maintain a healthy frame of mind.

I've learned one of the best ways you can tell whether or not someone is a narcissist is the way they treat people like waiters/waitresses or salespeople. If they treat people they don't know in an arrogant, condescending way, it will only be a matter of time before they will treat you that way.
