  1. Can't wait for the book! Are you making it in print also?

  2. Thank you again for your time and knowledge. Looking back, I did this exactly with a friend. And I "won" by not playing anymore. He got away with it time after time. Silenttreatments… Gaslighting… And I took the bait time after time. Last time (about a year ago) I was fed up with it, and thought, why the hell put energy in this? And then he showed up all of a sudden. Acting as if nothing happened. He rang my intercom and I answered because I could not see who it was. He ordered me not to talk, and hear him out, as he was sorry. (He felt that his tactics did not affect me anymore.) I told him politely that I had no interest in contact anymore and that his apolagies did ment jacksh#t to me. Hung up on him after I said my thing. He went insane the time I met him afterwards. Showed that he to has a mask that could slip in a creepy way, with the Narc stare of death. And then, a few months later he sent me a email (forgot to block him) as if nothing happened… He wanted to know how my girlfriend and I were doing, and if I could call him on his new number wich he included. I told him we were doing fine, and that I had no interest what so ever to ever speak to him again, and wished him well with all of my heart. He quickly replied with: "O.K. I hear you, will seek contact no more". But then, 5 minutes later (I was busy at that moment blocking that toxie) He sent me: "But one thing you should know, you know nothing… And I don't want to hurt anybody, you neither… I came to your door the last time to explain, but hey, you would not listen, and hung up on me. But that is your choice, and its okay. I am saying goodbuy, and I mean what I say. Not a friend in this world… I hope you know how painful that is…" I never responded to that one, and blocked him on every outlet and contactlist I could think of. Never heard from him again. But I know he will once again show up. I think he made some anonymous hoover attemps, buy using a number that I do not know of him (blocked 2 allready) in wich he plays the role of an older man, that sends a message to a so called co-worker saying that he will be later for work. And if the so called co-worker could give this message to the boss. (Me) I think he thought my reaction would be to contact back, to say I am not the co-worker he confuses me for. Just to f#ck with me. And try to see if he has any strings on me. Creepy as hell… That is why I watch channels like yours. To educate myself for future hoovering and encounters with potential narcs. Just wanted to say thank you, but this story kinda came out. Its therapeutic for me, because it had a big impact on my life, as I have known this "friend" since highschool, and we go back for 20 years. In a way I feel sorry for him, but I am glad I don't give him the chance to be his target anymore. I like to think of myself as a moving target… A fast one! I am looking forward to your book, and I am thankful for your channel, time, knowledge and suithing advices. Kind regards from the Netherlands.

  3. I hear you…But the guilt when its your covert narc mother! Thank you so much for all you do! ox

  4. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Quinn! I so needed to hear this today. You have validated months of BS from the Narc with this video. I've gone No Contact with him but he thinks I'm playing this Stubborn BS game with him. He still hasn't realized or accepted that I'm serious and trying to get away from him. I'm still a work in progress but this video helps me know I'm on the right track and it helps explain his reaction to my No Contact to me.

  5. You speak the truth!!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!

  6. spot on! I so thought it was me while with him until I started going to therapy thinking I was abusive, and they informed me that I was being abused. so glad it's over.

  7. looking forward to your book!!

  10. omg this is eerie and could not be more suited for what im going thru. you described him perfectly!

  11. As I was listening to your video I was driving behind a car with the window sticker: Get Busy Living!! So right you are as usual! Can't wait for the book. Would be great if you'd do an audio version because your tone and inflection really drive your points home!!

  12. Oh Mr. Man…who are you??? Were you in the back of my car while I was telling my girlfriend this exact tactic from my soon to be ex-narc who is doing and trying just what you describe and btw my shit of a narc is a retired MLB player…professional athletes are the worst. THANK YOU THANK YOU keep this info coming it is keeping me so strong and moving forward and onward!!!!

  13. I so needed this at this very moment! Thank you and God Bless!

  14. My ex-narc tried this tactic and lost….not in the mood for that.

  15. Great video, keep us posted on the book!

  16. So for an example… When they purposely ignore you as far as don't wanna answer their phone or text back because they mad or when was having problems will that be an example of stubbornness he's an ex now but I'm still trying to figure out how to let go which his bee hard

  17. My fav line…heard this long ago, now I apply it to narcs…RECOIL AS IF FROM A HOT FLAME!

  18. Incredible video! Left the narc sociopath a year ago. Slow road, but only steps forward. You are an inspiration! i have come so far! Narc free & found me! Freedom is beautiful. Broke the ties that bind!! I didn't think I could get through it a year ago. But I did, thanks to those like you who share your experience, strength & hope! Grateful.

  19. great talk….
    appreciated…

  20. Very informative video! I've been going NC for almost a week and it's done me justice.

  21. Very cool, my sister just told me exactly this yesterday when I was suffering with a bout of cognitive dissonance (15 months later) so thanks for the straight to the point reinforcement, heard loud and clear.

  22. Yes they do this….Good video again…..

  23. you are right. if they are terminally ill and they still try to do this, you know they're fucked up.

  24. This is so so true. They are so sick. It use to make me mad as hell, but I know what it is now. so right ,fuck them!

  25. I said this before and I will say it again. They have entirely too much time on their hands to fck with other ppl…much of that time needs to be in a psychiatrist's office.

  26. So it goes without saying that Quinn is THE MAN when it comes to this subject! Waiting for that eBook.

  27. WOW..thank you so much for this b/c I am going through this RIGHT NOW!! He knows that I know that he has broken up with his most recent ex, BUT I have NOT attempted to contact him at all; and I am not going to.

  28. yeah I've walked away from people who tried to gaslight me. I agree so much with u…leave their ass right where they at!!

  29. jezebel spirits. demonic 'people' , or psychic vampires.

  30. these are not human but reptilian entities. they are possesed by it. thereforr their cold dead eyes. unfortunaly they rule this world. presidents, politicians ceo's etc

  31. looking forward to your book man keep me updated and posted I caught on to a narcissistic person but have more training

  32. So true. I made the mistake to let my husband back in our lives after 9 months separation. He begged me saying that he just wanted to be there for our children. I allowed him to visit and slowly he started staying later and later. Started fixing things he never tried fixing before. Finally started spending nights saying it wld be easier to drop my son to school in the morning. At his time I spoke to him letting him know that I am still aware of his relationships with other women. and also the fact he never apologized to our kids for telling them he hated them and that they shd forget he is their father. I told him it was better he stayed where he lived. He again insisted that he wanted to be there for his kids and that our house was his. Well his narc Mom came to spend time in our country. From that moment he started to behave as if we didn't exist. Then I noticed that started sneaking out the few items that he at our home back to his place. He then started to blame our kids saying they made him feel bad and that is why he 'sneaked out' also blaming me saying I didn't want him to do anything for his Mom. All lies. Now he is begging me to take him back and asking I still love him. Not happening. Please listen and don't ever take them back. They get much worse. They take you accepting back as a sign that you are willing to accept their evil behaviour. Be warned.

  33. Great video.

    It can be difficult to utilize this great info if/when you share children with a narc… but it's definitely a great foundation to work from.

  34. Thank you. Good video. So true. Go no contact is it.

  35. Another great video, thumbs up! :)

  36. Needed to hear this today. Thanks :)
