  1. If you want to set boundaries then start pumping iron.

  2. I've let a bunch of people know about this guy I've been talking to but have only told 2 people who he is. I have not let any of his friend's know about him because I know that they won't believe me. A women warned me about him saying that he is a sexual predator and then she told me not to say anything. I would have laughed at her and walked away but when I first met him the first red flag I got was, wow he reminds me of my ex step dad who is a narcissist. After that more red flags kept coming. I'm not only dealing with this guy but his friend also who is probably a psychopath. These two men are overly nice to me when at the coffee shop and surround me. If I talk about anything other than me they will put the conversation back on me. Many times they have asked me personal questions, invited me to church with them and I went once and couldn't sit still and was afraid the whole time (this was before that lady warned me about one of them). These two men walked by when that lady warned me to stay away from one of them so I think they know what's up and have figured that I will no longer put up with there bullshit. Anyways, how do I let their friend's know that they are bad news? Should I just put boundaries up with them and continue to ignore them? I'm sick of living in fear and I want to go back to my coffee shop without thinking that they are going to attack me. Any advice would be good. Both of these men attend AA so I can't really tell people who they are because of anonymity but I don't want something to happen if it's true….red flags are all there though. This creep has his windows super tented also.

  3. My bro is and malignant Narcissist. He was the executor of my mom's estate and I know he cut me out of my inheritance. I have been afraid to get an atty because, well, he scares me.  Don't know what to do. Bad stuff come out of that family if I even poke a little bit. I really don't know what to do…..

  4. Great advice! Very hard to do sometimes setting boundaries, but has to be done!! It does wonders for your self esteem and sets u free from playing the victim card (and stops the ridiculous cycle)

  5. thank you, you're advice is price less.  it's great that you want to help people and arm them against narcissistic people God Bless you for it. 

  6. You were right Sam.  There is nothing that can be done or not done to change anything.

  7. When I had proof that N was playing me after 3 days of him presenting as a victim while grooming me with lies and 'black is white,' I was in good enough shape to shout at him, "How dare you —- with me!?" Followed with, "Get your white trash drama out of my life!"
    I've read "The Sociopath Next Door" and "The Gift of Fear" and N severely misread me as a victim. Hahaha!
    Still, I need to work on what pulled him to me even this briefly, I feel I need more work on my boundaries.
    I've subscribed to this channel, but wish you'd join PsychCentral.com too, lots of very qualified professionals on all topics of mental health writing to grateful audiences; has been my main site.

  8. I set boundaries about money. He took all my money early on as a way to 'take care of' my finances. I had to go to him whenever I needed to shop, only to get comments that he would do a better job shopping than I did. When I got my inheritance I firmly told him it was MINE to do with as I wanted, and if I wanted his advice I'd ask for it. Good move on my part.

  9. I wonder if cult Leaders might be narcissistic sometimes because they create an atmosphere where normal boundaries get melted away. Meetings, or workshops or some other group activity involving inter generational relations or nakedness or inappropriate contact become jusitifed in terms of the ideology of the group leader?

  10. Hi Sam.  Just wondered, do you have any advice on how not to show fear around bullies/abusers?  Reason im asking is because I have panic attack problems and being around such people can trigger it quite badly.  I cant always stop physical symptoms showing I.e. sweating, shaking.  Im fully aware the whole time that this is just giving the bully/abuser what they want but when
    this happens I cant hide it despite how much I want to.  :-(

  11. At 42 I finally set boundaries and disengaged my crazy ass mother.Awesome.

  12. Setting boundaries is natural to 'normal' people but if brought up by a narcissist you are taught to do the opposite in childhood. 

  13. Thank you. Setting the boundaries and sticking to them is a source of strength when facing the heartbreak of giving up a narc. Really helpful.

  14. Sounds like my defense toward my mother-in-law, thanks!
