Their ego is a greedy and unsatisfiable entity. Narcissists are generally very skilled at cheating and covering their tracks. Here’s the sad part. They have a firm understanding that you just want to be loved. Your whole purpose and agenda is to love and serve, theirs is to undermine, use, gaslight and create what’s called cognitive dissonance.

In this episode we discuss future faking and how a narcissist plants seeds, that lead to a false hope of future faking. They will allow you to think that you have met your soul mate, you will be taking trips, spending the holidays, birthdays and special events together.

You will now have met your perfect match and they will lead you to believe that the future is with them, you’ll open your heart and they will begin to pull you into their web of lies, false promises and deliver you a nightmare of stress, pain, anxiety, paranoia, shame, self-doubt, excitement, devastation, depression, and literally make you feel less of the great person you are. You have to look clearly and stop allowing them to blur your reality, so you can try to see theirs more clearly. You are not in their best interest, they FAKE IT till they make it and hoping you never seen the true side of the mark they wear everyday.   Show Notes  Boundary Pushes + Future Faking Investing in a Hope fueled fantasy Progression of manipulation

SE 1 EP 9 - How it ended, its over.

This weeks episode is one that’s most personal, I found out that someone I cared for deeply lost their battle with depression. As I write these words, it still seems surreal. Thank you for supporting  this podcast as we share helpful information surrounding Narcism and mental illness awareness.  I wanted to make this episode, because I believe that these situations occur, but how can we protect ourselves, from the toxic abuse that we once endured. How easy is it to get sucked back into the cycle? When you are faced with life altering, similar to what I’ve experienced; you must continue to support and care at distance. Your instinct is to want to show your support to the one who left you in a terrible place in your life. You have to have courage, you cannot backtrack and must listen to your gut instinct. You can do this.  Please contact the Suicide LifeLine at 800-273-8255.

Very informative, I always wondered how a woman was capable of being so Vile and evil. I often had questions about what I went threw. After listening to some very knowledgeable people speak about narcs I began to understand why and how. Which gave me some peace. I went threw all stages that are described on here. Your great at being very clear and concise. Your voice is great as well. And thank you for the messages between you and your ex narc that you have let us listen to as examples very helpful. For all other victims if you read this. You will heal over time. No contact is the smartest way to go. Take time to heal and find yourself again. Continue to learn about Narcissism. It’s been three years for me no contact. Even tho I have children with with my ex narc. I just understood that NC was the best thing.  
I have moved on. And looking back I understand it was a blessing. Love the podcasts look forward to hearing more.

I was married to one for 16 years.

Surviving Narcissism - Narcissist Rehab

What you are about to listen to, is a real recording. This was a result of a narcissist injury.  This recording was from the very beginning, and start of how things quickly escalated. I am using this as an example of how horrible, and hateful a narcissist can be.  The backstory of this conversation, was the attempt of this person "hacking" my social media accounts, email ect., and my quick actions to cut off this person from having access. I had just realized that things were quickly coming to light, finding out all the secrets and learning that the mask had just fallen. When you begin to connect the dots, you'll find that they don't take kindly to being accountable for their own destruction.   The Definition  A narcissistic injury occurs when narcissists react negatively to perceived or real criticism or judgment, boundaries placed on them, and/or attempts to hold them accountable for harmful behavior. Narcissistic rage is a psychological construct that describes a reaction to narcissistic injury, which is conceptualized as a perceived threat to a narcissist's self-esteem or self-worth.   A challenge to their confidence. People with NPD build up confidence in themselves by continually getting away with lies or false personas. When someone pushes them and exposes a weakness, people with NPD may feel inadequate. That unwelcomed emotion can cause them to lash out as protection.   Sense of self is questioned. If people reveal that someone with NPD isn’t as capable or talented as they pretend, this challenge to their sense of self may result in a cutting and aggressive outburst.
