Thank you for the LOVE, TIME & EFFORT you put into your videos bcuz of wanting to help us all. I do hope you have a great and wonderful day!!!

    Their “love” is self-serving. Their lies. I wholeheartedly believed every lie my narcissistic parent told me for decades. He loved himself and he loved who he created me to be.

  • @ErinWard-z8r says:

    My parent loved his obsession with creating my reality for me as he made me doubt my own. I believed every lie he told me for decades.

    Love is empathic…..listening not judging….Love is quiet…old sweater……….and it is the quiet night at home….wow❤

  • @Greenawareness188 says:

    I thought they loved me because I needed love like air . I thought they loved because I thought I deserved that treatment .

    Narcissists cant love its simple. They love themselves

  • @chrisjenkins2326 says:

    After doing all the work, I now listen to my 70s love songs completely different.. all the inter relational dysfunctions are expressed in song.. Someone could do a whole channel on this..

  • @CoverPlays says:

    Hello Dr. Ramani, I signed up for your healing course yesterday. I recently broke up with someone who felt narcissistic and I am having a very hard time coping… I really needed this video. Thank you so much! ❤🙏

    Something seems always off in toxic love. Trust your instincts.

  • @biondna7984 says:

    Thank you for this. It’ll be four years soon since the death of my beloved second husband, who showed me what sweet, quiet, deep, unchanging love is. It was the polar opposite of 24 years with my first, who was all about obsession, drama, pages of soppy poetry, tantrums, rage, hostility and indifference to protests against the danger he created in our lives, and finally, the total blame and vindictive retaliations for everything, which he dumped on me when he knew I was leaving. I listen to your videos to remind me that guys like this are still out there, and that I was steeped in my parents’ version of love, which I had to earn every day, and which groomed me for my ex. And because I’m so lonely without my beloved, that I’m afraid the old drama show will suck me back in. Your videos and book keep this lonely heart sober and safe.

  • @Melodylenna says:

    I learned the hard way that when they treat you like a ‘“possession” (like they own you), that is not love! Also, when you meet someone for the first time and they come on a little too strong, Watch out!!! For example, when they say things like, “You were made for me; I’ve been waiting for someone like you all my life; I saw you in my dreams,” and so forth. That’s a ‘major red flag”!

    • @suz6239 says:

      Yes! How about when they decided your the one (future faking and putting you on a pedestal) without asking what you want. 😮

    • @Melodylenna says:

      @ Well, all I know is that when they start trying to control you and they start trying to isolate you from your friends, that is unhealthy! I had been in relationships where the person I was with would go into a jealous rage, if another guy said ‘hello” to me and I said ‘hello” back! Yet, the person I was with was seeing other women behind my back. In my opinion, if it’s real love, you shouldn’t feel like you’re having to walk on egg shells.

    • @taniadiamond6393 says:

      Exactly 💯..13 yrs n he NEVER proposed me(he had already 2 marriages by btw-22 yrs apart…I’m 40 he’s 63…))AND THOUSANDS OF POEMS…😢😢 but I’m trying to get over him n I can’t.. and the sex…uuuff…😢😢I feel SUCH A FOOL…!!!!

    • @sparklingloveandlight says:

      All. Of. This!

  • @jenvu-id3ue says:

    Narcissistic never have love. Run fast as you can because you will be hurt at some point. Dr. Ramani is very correct. Narcissistic very exhausting and mentally ill.

  • @DianeR-h7v says:

    Thank you Dr Ramani for all that you do! ❤

  • @daniellatan9016 says:

    Love is when they still stick around when life gets tough with family, and also when they get more successful and powerful while their spouse didnt

  • @RootsyVibes says:

    My ex-narc would wait on me hand and foot and my girlfriends were so wowed, because he seemed to “worship me,” especially in the bedroom. Not only was he setting up a system of dependency, but he was performing the whole time. Almost 15 years and 2 kids later, he is finally out of my house. I can breathe again, Jesus 🤣

  • @RootsyVibes says:

    Their apparent “love” masks actual malice.

  • @andron967 says:

    It’s very comforting for me to hear other experiences with similarities to my own. While I was going thru narcissist relationships there wasn’t anyone around me that could see what I now know as narcissism. Most people still can’t see it. That’s the unfortunate nature of the beast.

  • @rebeccaunasultana6128 says:

    Care vs control such a good explanation. Thank you

  • @CJbrieflittlecandle says:

    I’m just realizing that I went from toxic control from my mom to toxic control from my husband. No wonder I always felt so incompetent. Sometimes toxic control presents as passive aggressive comments and/or guilting

  • @mooncat24 says:

    Love is not a show. Love is not appearances or “how it looks like” to the rest of the family. Love is understanding and respecting when someone in your family values their privacy, space, and personal sovereignty.
