  1. Can drugs cause narcissm?

  2. Positive cues and attention…

  3. What do you make of Donald Trump?

  4. Sam, in your opinion, does my husband have any chance of rehabilitation if his therapist says that he possesses "insight?" She is one of the top trauma therapists in the nation and she also recommended your book for him to read.

  5. Facebook was made for narcissistic.

  6. I understand some of what is meant here.. If one were to attempt to describe this to someone from the outside looking in. How aware, from the inside of a narcissist, is someone that they are living for attention? Addicted to it? Yes, they know what they are doing, and that how they are doing it is wrong… But, how does it look to the addict, emotionall, mentally, etc, when they approach their "fix" of N-supply? Being a disordered personality, it seems like they're not aware of the larger picture, somewhere. If confronted with these facts that they are going from attention fix to attention fix, does it vary from person to person? From their minds perspective, what do they try to rationalize it as, if at all? Or is it so caught up in the thrill of the fix that they can't even rationalize? Much like any addict? Just wondering what the chaos looks like to the one in charge of the storm..

  7. I can't believe how truthful this is, it is so much the experience I am having with someone, and whenever I am around them, I feel provoked, and fly off the handle in rage..for the first time in my life, I have now some understanding as to where my rage is coming from, this narcissistic supply I have felt for years..this person is using me as…narcissistic supply…whenever I am happy about something or feel good about something, this person claims that it is for them, it is theirs, as if I am nothing but a supply source for his happiness…its absolutely infuriating…behavior…infuriating. this clarity give me the peace of mind, I have never had….

  8. you may have saved my life…

  9. THAT ONE STATEMENT..HE NAILED IT, COMPLETELY!!  WHAT MATTERS IS NOT THE TRUTH..BUT THEIR "PERCEPTION" OF THE TRUTH!! IF YOU EVER FIND YOURSELF INVOLVED WITH ONE..RUN!! DON'T WALK..RUN AS FAST & AS FAR AS YOU CAN!! BELIEVE ME!!

  10. Once you get it down; once you realize your own faults; then you will see narcissist supply at its best. They hate it when you find your power; when you stand up to them, and it may be dangerous to do so.  But, if you don't speak up; set boundaries; you will be lost forever.  Do it; and if you can, say good-bye forever.  They won't really miss you anyway; they cannot.

  11. As Always Sam, Wow its like you know my Dad and My older brother. But my older brother doesn't create lies from scratch concerning his awesomeness, but embellishes, so the story gets a little more interesting and/or amazing each time.
    But I have hear more amazing and accurate accounts from my best friend of 26 years, we are 39 now. But he turns boring stories, into amazing events. but not totally or possibly not at all Delusional.
    but as long as everyone else believes it, he can lie to himself

  12. I think it is normal to want to be acceptet and valued by others. My boyfriend who is no narcist, but diagnosed a dependent personality disorder wants to be seen as inteligent and creative etc. as he is as well, everyone wants this, I mean, who wants to be treatend like an idiot by others? We all have achievments made and goals we want to reach, of course you want to be respected for this. A man whitout ambitions is dead, I met such people, theyre were that strange, because they have no life.

  13. i guess i'll watch some more. in that particular presentation the distinction wasn't clear to me. it might be helpful if your videos on this subject were more explicitly sequenced/ordered. thanks for responding (and posting).

  14. It is not WHAT the narcissist wants, but HOW he want these things, HOW he goes about obtaining them, and then WHAT USE he makes of them.

  15. i had trouble distinguishing the secondary narcissistic supply from normal things that most people might want in life: a career, a secure income, a mate, a good social reputation, friendships, etc…

  16. why dont you mention the child of the n?

  17. Boy do I hear that! You're funny, thanks for the laugh!

  18. Hey val i have been doing research and i would like to know more about the covert narcissist, i am wondering if i am one!!! thank you very much!

  19. In my case, my X was the "king" of his "kingdom" which included his friends, who were and are now his "handlers," "personal assistants" or what I called his "Quasimotos," i,.e., his narcissistic suppliers. His Pathological Narcisssistic Space was what I called his "kingdom." During my time with him, I formulated my own lexicon to try to make sense of what was going on. Now, I have your lexicon and have finally, thru your videos, made sense of the insanity I was subjected to. WAS. 🙂 now free!

  20. @twopurringcats Sounds exactly like my mother

  21. Therapists always told me about my mother not being "real", now i know they were talking about her "false self". She acts all sweet, charming and fun in public but behind closed doors she's horribly critical, angry and insecure. She lives for control and will do anything to get it. And I do mean anything. She is a monster..in a dress.

  22. If I had seen this video ten years ago my Life would have been dramatically different. This totally describes not only my exwife, but my own mother and father. I can't help but wonder if a childhood accident involving a lawn dart and my head may have rescued me from this same fate?

  23. omg my mother acts like and says god put her on earth to help and save ppl!!!!!! she says she is a saint and marter, but acts evil, yes she demands and extorts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am her N supply, that is WHY I got injured 2 times!!!!!!!!!
