    You are such a blessing.Thank you for being YOU.

  • @pengguoyu4614 says:

    Explaining what a boundary is to a narcissist who setting boundaries with a narcissist is like feeding a carrot 🥕 to a lion at the zoo.

  • @MrsABC7997 says:

    Evidently Oxford wanted to go viral for their “word” of the year! 🙄

  • @pengguoyu4614 says:

    All Narcissists are prone to rage then later to vindictiveness

  • @GSSAHDE84 says:

    My husband rage baits me everytime he is triggered and needs an excuse to gobon for hours and hours verbally tearing me apart. i no longer fall for it-for the most part.

    • @bastetolesya7853 says:

      The same with me and my husband. I learnt my lesson, no more debates. Just saying “yeah, whatever” and doing my deeds.

  • @oldercloudify says:

    My brother baited me several times at my mother’s funeral. We don’t have a relationship. It took me awhile to find my footing, but it was smooth sailing once I realized that he craves agency and attention.

  • @pengguoyu4614 says:

    All narcissists rage bait because they are unhappy when others are happy

    • @stopfundingisraelfreepalestine says:

      True

    • @jquinn984 says:

      If my father is in a bad mood, he has to make everyone around him miserable

    • @whitejadeball says:

      For me it looks like an “are you ok??”out of the blue coming from the forever victim to whom all is owed. Guilt tripping you, liying her teeth out 24/7. She knows that as long as I continue to treat her like my little sister, with love, hope and consideration, this will likely trigger me. The only way for me to stay calm is to detach and contemplate that attempt at a reconnection in between demands and tantrums from afar. But holy crap! It is their game, to hide their intentions behind fake care. And when you end up giving in, they reel you in and start their brain eating techniques all over again.

    • @morgainnejade says:

      @whitejadeball “the forever victim to whom all is owed” – yes, this, exactly!!

    • @MunkeyKung says:

      @whitejadeball “The forever victim to whom all is owed” is somewhat poetic.

  • @PlumbTuckeredOut says:

    Very timely- for me! Thank you for what you do Dr Ramani!

  • @Candyliz2003 says:

    It’s disturbing how many people will ignore the narcissist/ bully acting poorly in public! Maybe they’re thinking they don’t want to cause a scene, but the bully has already done that! Yes, the bully will claim that “it’s only a joke”, but society — or at the very least — YOU and others present need to let the bullies know that their bad behavior is unacceptable – period.
    Watching others get hurt for “entertainment” needs to stop.

  • @marysisak2359 says:

    Just when I think Dr. Ramani cannot get any better, she knocks one out of the park once again. I am 72 and almost every video she puts out it takes me down memory lane. I remember one Thanksgiving my mother went for my (former) sister-in-laws jugular. (I think the marriage ended shortly after). That ended the visit. When they left my mother was like a prize fighter who just made a knock out punch. She bragged saying “I’m glad I said that.” My sister and I just sat there speakless in shell shock. My mother was exhilarated.

  • @phormor4104 says:

    My adult sister and brother in law are ninja masters at rage baiting. They assault me in tandem, passing the provocations back and forth and keeping it up until they draw blood. I used to turn myself into a shrinking pretzel to avoid their attacks. Not anymore. I went full non contact about three years ago and I love it.

    • @JohannaVanDreumel says:

      Well done, how Empowered you must feel now that you have put YOURSELF 1st.
      I’m proud of you.
      Happy New Year.🎉

  • @AndreaHall-k8v says:

    Narcissist are evil. And they know it.

  • @ChimiChimiChurryPie says:

    I call these social media creators “conflict entrepreneurs”. I often see the titles “you’ve been lied to” or “what they’re not telling you”. Narcissists know exactly how to push our buttons.

  • @SuperSarah0303 says:

    Oh crap. After MANY years of narcissistic abuse, from many people, I’m realizing now that my role is to stand in clarity in all my interactions and relationships. In doing so, I’m triggering every narc I encounter. The attacks are predictable and so incredibly ugly. So be it. I’m not anyone’s doormat anymore.

  • @MochiHopeful says:

    5:10 The studying you is spot on. I was being monitored for each reaction.

    • @november9831 says:

      any desperation to be seen just fuels their ammunition against you, taking advantage of every vulnerability. ugh!!

  • @StanJonathan17B says:

    They Stab you! and then act like they are Bleeding..

  • @α.ελληνικά says:

    Absolutely true. They set emotional traps and rage baits to get their supply. Giving them NOTHING and quietly removing yourself from their toxic influence is the ultimate weapon against them.

  • @maracummings9767 says:

    One of the reasons I unfollowed many people on Social Media is because of the “Rage Bating” and “Very Divisive” content. Thank you so much Dr. Ramani!

  • @melodysanquist4834 says:

    You hit another nail on the head! Thank you Dr Ramani for the work you do ❤

  • @michellecoleman9762 says:

    I get it now. This is what my mother was doing when right before leaving for my nursing school graduation she says “I normally wouldn’t go to something like this because it’s not a bachelors degree (it was a 3 year RN degree with a separate associates degree) but I’m going because your my daughter…..
