I've updated the video because I wasn't really happy with the old version. It's still far from perfect but I hope you like it.

More on Narcissistic Behaviour

‘Narcissists try to destroy your life with lies because theirs can be destroyed with the truth.’ – Unknown

Lying and deceit is something that happens around narcissism. For those people who have narcissistic traits, they have ‘no regard for right and wrong.’ Lying if allowed to continue, interferes with an individual’s thinking pattern and their life.

Narcissism is a personality disorder that stems from mental health issues. Narcissists only see life from their own vantage point and think the world revolves around them. They have a disregard for other people’s feelings, they have an excessive need for admiration, have a sense of entitlement and can struggle to handle any criticism.

Narcissistic only see their truth, which often is distorted. They will continue to see what is in their best interest and make their life about them.

Unless someone with narcissistic behaviour traits is able to see for themselves that they are narcissistic, you cannot help them change their behaviour. It is something they will need to see for themselves.

If you’re around someone who presents with narcissism, discussions that may seem harmless can turn into heated arguments and frayed tempers. It is important to keep yourself safe and make sure that what you’re doing is in your own best interests.

I wish parents would stop instantly going to anger when they see that their children are doing something that they perceive as wrong. If we could change how we view our children from insignificant, malice-intended nuisances to well-intended, still learning individuals the world we live in could be sob much better than it currently is. I wish parents would keep this mantra in their minds when it comes to disciplining their kids: "If the point is to change the behavior, then consider changing your approach."

It’s honestly baffling how my parents always bashed me or ever expressing my opinion or managed to find a way to tell me my opinion was worth nothing, basically just making me feel invalidated in general, and now get mad that I always “go with the flow” and “act like a robot” whenever they ask me for my opinion.

Hearing this lady talk shit about her own daughter for choosing to get tattoos and piercings just makes me want to throw up. It is sickening to me that your judgemental ass can’t just leave people be, especially your own child. What happens when you want what’s best for your kids but you can’t actually let them be in touch with who they want to be as a human being? They move halfway across country and you never actually get to see them much. Once they realize that this is not how they want to live, they are gone with the wind. And there’s nothing you can do about it once the trust is broken. And they are under no obligation to forgive you. They don’t even have to put up with you. So respect your children and listen to them instead of being the one to always be talking. Otherwise you’re suffocating them, and once they get a taste of fresh air they will sure as hell never want to get close enough so that you drown them again.

Lost in Translation

She told me she loved me, said she was proud, Praised every small thing, spoke it out loud. But I saw through the veil of her hollow praise, A love like a shadow that hides in a haze.

She clung to the fact that she gave me birth, Confusing love's value with mere proof of worth. Delusions whispered, "I love you" in vain, But words without action leave only pain.

Love is a verb — not a word to repeat, It's in how you hold me, not phrases you speak. She never learned what loving means true, Just said "I love you," but never knew.

She never stopped to hear what I say, Her mind raced ahead, no time to stay. Quick to respond, but slow to see, The meaning behind my words to me.

Between our tongues, a thick, cold wall, A barrier strong, so hard to crawl. She heard my voice but not my heart, Lost in translation from the start.

Hypocrisy dressed in "I love you" guise, But actions betrayed her well-worn lies. Words empty as wind, lost in the air, A love declared, but never there.
