  1. I had a pattern of dating Ns because of my childhood, I have been in lots of therapy to undo the damage, and I like to share so that others can better understand the N.

    One of them had me so tormented that I would drink with my medication, sometimes passing out. He bragged that he enjoyed having sex with me passed out more than normal sex. He bragged about how he would touch me in ways I did not enjoy and how he could get away with it when I was passed out. I never spoke to him again after he said this. I can just imagine him delighting in getting away with breaking my intimate boundaries. Its so horrifying.

  2. Makes sense, how can they truly love them selves and cheat on themselves too.. LOLI expect its a sort of defeat. So funny.

  3. Mr Vaknin, i am having a frequentation with this man since 3 weeks, and even if he says he find me very attractive and intruiguing, he actually had sex just one time with me quickly. Everytime there is an excuse (he feels physical pein, he is tyred, he is not in the mood cause worried…) what bothers me it's that he seems to enjoy teasing me after I tell him that i really desire him, and that i am having a hard time waiting. He shows other signs of narcissims like not answering to my messages where he knows i long for him to get in touch. Or provoking my jelousy with no reason. It seems to me he has kind of a satisfaction in frustrating my attent. He also quit a relationship with a codependent woman few months ago. Am I in presence of a possible narcissist?

  4. I know one narcissistic professor who would stalk and creep after students, long after they gave them the heave-ho, and would try spying on his source and looked like someone from a Benny Hill skit.

  5. Three weeks after the wedding it turned into shut up, lay down and don't move.  So happy I dumped him.

  6. My experience of an NPD was that he put a dizzying amount of effort, charm, charisma, energy and so on into pursuing a woman..but as soon as he had slept with the woman, the next morning he was repulsed by her 'clingyness' and reacted to her like something threatening, disgusting and devoid of value.Discarding her utterly.Many of these women were sweet, loving, genuine.A tragedy.

  7. I realized what i was dealing with after only a couple months, and thanks to your videos i will spot the next one in two fucking seconds. Cheers!

  8. My father and mother were both N's. I've been fighting not to be like them but I think genetically I'm predisposed. I never understood why I would act the way I would and then feel empty. Believe me this is a truly awful illness. The only cure has been willpower to fight urges to allow myself to hurt others. I do love ppl and animals. It's just relationships are too much. 

  9. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde… You're great! Thanks.

  11. You just described someone who has been tormenting me emotionally for about a year. He's definitely about the conquest and pursuit … totally lost interest after he "got" me. Thank you for these videos … they are very insightful. 

  12. Dr. Vaknin…once again, excellent video and spot on! Quick question concerning intimacy. You noted once that the N's typical response to sexual intimacy is rage – I believe you put it something like the worst possible backlash one can receive from the N. Since narcissism is a "defense mechanism" of sorts…does this backlash mean that the intimacy was felt (in other words, the N was 'forced to FEEL') and the defense mechanism kicks in? It just makes sense to me that a serious backlash would only occur if the N was "emotionally touched" hence, the resulting backlash. It also seems the N cannot let go of this rage…just wondering if this means the N was "feeling" during the intimacy…THEn the afterthought and defense kicks in. Can you elaborate further on the inner thoughts and feelings of the N under these conditions? I think it would help those of us who have experienced this. Thanks again!

  13. Nothing they like better than making you feel worthless and terrible, to mask their own self-doubts.
    Sam: Giving people a sure warning sign of a narcissist, some specific things to look out for when first meeting someone… that would help some people avoid a lot of chaos and pain. Often we're sucked into their webs time and time again because we don't know exactly what to watch out for. Either that or we do recognize it but are drawn in by our own sickness and need for attention from someone physically attractive. I know you've covered personality traits of N's, but I'm talking about something different…hoping you can define it.
    Thanks.

  14. sam, how does one handle this properly if the narc/psy is a married 'clergyman' who is obsessed with power and control ? is it a good or bad thing if he suddenly unexpectantly sees his female 'viktim' with another man ? can this bring on more obsession and anger on his part ? what is goin through his mind ?  thank u

  15. Thank you Sam you are the best I love all your videos plus your book once you understand the illness it makes dealing with these people a lot easier I am greatful for you making these books & video people need to be aware of this personality disorder and you do it the best. Thank you Sam vaknin the world needs you & your insight can you move to the USA you could have your own talk show and be famous & wake the world up. :-)
