    if you have to sacrifice your voice, to “keep the peace,” it was never meant to be peaceful. the narcissist is manipulating you into internalizing the chaos instead.

    an environment that is not safe to disagree in, is not an environment focused on growth – it’s an environment focused on control.

    Dr. Ramani.. new subscriber here, thank you for being the blessing that you are to so many! What you say makes so much sense! I’ve had people ask me, ” Why are you always apologizing?” Now i understand exactly why I do this!

  • @mariehughey5390 says:

    Growing up, I felt invisible. As a teen, I didnโ€™t trust my mother to care about my safety. Even being raped by a friend of hers, I turned the blame on me. I never believed myself to be lovable after that. I kept trauma to myself. Getting away from my family of origin at the age of 49, was a godsend. 18 years later I begin to learn about narcissism. Holyf#%k! I have grieved for nearly a year. And I am starting to feel healed, lighter, free. Thanks to this channel and others like it.

      Magnificent gratitude beautiful SOUL, thanks 4 sharing Ur beautiful experience, I am only out four months and he’s driving me crazy, trying 2 divorce but it’s crazy expensive, but at least I am safe and away. U R AMAZING, U KEEP ME INSPIRED TO KEEP GOING, IT’S BEEN UGLY & he’s killed my chickens and my cat and moved in another family and destroyed them too. They stole my stuff and he’s blaming me for not taking what I valued….It was my life I did value so I know I’m better off without the stuff, he can never take my memories โค๐ŸŽ‰โค๐ŸŽ‰โค๐ŸŽ‰ UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND HAPPINESS FOREVERMORE ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

      @@flightmama3191 your life and having the future of your choosing is THE most precious and valuable thing. I had a terrible sense of the appropriate type of person I was so I couldnโ€™t choose a decent person. It was learning to be me and value me AND learning about narcissism that healed me.

    Self censoring only has caused me to have a huge explosion when pushed too far. I have tried to set boundaries all along but sometimes that doesnโ€™t work.

  • @user-dt9ng4ec1n says:

    My negative self-talk would be telling myself that I didn’t deserve love or didn’t deserve to be happy. This was during my worst times, the period following the narcissistic discard.

  • @josephineorellana8486 says:

    This really resonated with me. I thought I was doing great with my self-talk, but Dr Ramini said, ” I’m such an idiot that it took me 30 years to figure it out!” That’s me. He’s been gone for 3 years, and I’ve been doing pretty well, but I still do say that to myself. Life is great, but it can really be amazing. It’s time to continue catching myself and stopping the negative (or neutral-feeling) self-talk. Thanks for keeping on this for me!!๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜โค๏ธโค๏ธ

    Narcissists are like the BORG of the Star Trek Series. For them, “RESISTANCE is FUTILE!”.

  • @eph2vv89only1way says:

    I remember one time I made a mistake in front of my daughter and my then 3 yo granddaughter. When I realized my mistake, I called myself an idiot. My daughter then asked me if I wanted my granddaughter to learn to talk about herself that way. It was a wake up call

  • @kristinareschke7128 says:

    This one really resonated with me, especially internalizing the punishing voice of the narcissist and thus literally becoming my own worst enemy, pathologizing myself as I have been pathologized my whole life, and coming to the conclusion that I don’t deserve any better. I’m going to check out the work of Dr. Dana Jack, too. But guess what, thanks to you and other warriors in the fight for narcissistic abuse survivors’ recovery, my eyes have been opened and I’m drinking less and less of the Narc Kool-Aid. If I keep putting in the work, I hope to be off the Narc diet completely before long. Thanks as always, Dr. Ramani!

  • @dk5755 says:

    Donโ€™t forget to add โ€œI am so damaged. Iโ€™m lucky anybody would want me.โ€ โ€œI am just the most horrible person there is.โ€ Then the narcissist will turn it on you by saying you hate yourself and destroyed yourself while we all stood around and watched. Regardless of who started the ruction the fact that he just stood and watched instead of offering any help. When he ran into his ex from before me, and was ecstatic by her suffering because she is now homeless and toothless. He gloated while implying, he was going to do the same to me

  • @lolxd9396 says:

    I am the worst critic to myself. After watching your videos Dr. Ramani, I catch myself every time I am tough to myself.

  • @lolxd9396 says:

    Dr. Ramani, I believe in voicing the truth to everyone regardless, normal and / or narcissist. Yes, that posses off narcissist, so what, I believe in kicking back. That’s who I have evolved into and I am not going to let anyone mess with me regardless of their relationship to me.
