In this video, I'll explain what "No Contact" really means and give you the four fundamental rules you MUST follow if you're going to get through it without losing yourself in the process - plus, I'll tell you exactly what you can do to make it a positive, personal growth-enhancing experience instead of the miserable hell you've been dealing with up til now.

Quick Tutorial for How to Hide Facebook Support Groups

Since a "secret" Facebook group requires manually adding members, they don't always work for online narcissism support groups - or any kind of group that isn't for just a few people.

One of the members of my SPAN (Support for People Affected by Narcissistic abuse in relationships) group wanted to know how she could keep her Facebook groups private, and so I offered this quick tutorial to my group members.

I decided to add it to my YouTube channel to help the community here as well. It's a very simple tweak and it'll keep your groups hidden. Hope you find it helpful!

Clarifying Red Flag Signs of Narcissism - In this episode of Go Ask Angie, I'm answering a bunch of questions from YouTuber Spike Spiegel, including the following.

1. What is the difference between love bombing and infatuation?

2. Why is it that so many of these points are about romantic relationships? Oxytocin effects everyone's brain differently with a notable increase in how it effects men and women differently. It shuts down important processes in men's brains that make it function logically. I don't remember the study, (I could find it if pressed) but it found men actually behave similar to a schizophrenic (obsession, hyper focus on the person). Women are primarily attracted to a mans utility. Sometimes men inflate their claims of success in order to be more appealing to women. What is the difference between normal attraction and narcissistic behavior and are there any MRI or other brain scans that have determined these differences?

3. "Soul mate status too soon." How soon is too soon? Is it one month, 3 months, 5 years? Were Romeo and or Juliet narcissists?

4. "You can't seem to scare them unless you threaten to expose them." Expose in what way, deviant sexual habits? Why would someone try to scare someone they "love"?

5. "Always seeks thrills or excitement." What kind of thrills? Are we talking skateboarding, sky diving, roller coaster rides? What is the difference between thrill seeking and enjoying an adrenaline rush? What about ADD/ADHD?

6. "Excessively concerned about your well being." Women like to be provided and protected for. This is what they find attractive. How much is too much? Is it quantifiable, or just "I feel like he is too concerned".

7. When does flirtation and teasing become underhanded and excessive?

8. "Tries to make you dependent on him/her by doing things for you." Are you familiar with the term "equal distribution of labor"? Was there a narcissist in every relationship in the 50's? What is the difference between a narcissist relationship and a more traditional relationship? Are you not aware that the mainstream media is saturated with articles saying that men need to do more housework?

9. "May financially abuse you." As couple, aren't we supposed to work to together? The economy is shit and I don't want to spend on anything that isn't necessary. Especially if we want to save for vacations, the kids, retirement, etc."

Narcissists can be infuriating, to say the very least - and if you're stuck in any sort of relationship with one, you'll go through a myriad of emotions on a regular basis - a toxic relationship is often a roller-coaster ride of emotional highs and lows.

Today's video is dedicated to one of my YouTube viewers who sent me an email that explained that she was feeling a lot of rage at a certain narcissistic person she is forced to deal with on a regular basis.

Narcissists and their gaslighting and other manipulative behaviors are crazy-making and they can cause you to become something and someone you're really not.

In this video, I'll explain not only the WHY of anger, but also some physical conditions that might increase your own rage and how to overcome them - plus personal tips on how I got through my own tough times during my own narcissistic abuse.

In this episode of Go Ask Angie, I'm answering the following questions from my YouTube community "off-the-cuff":

▼

YouTuber shane lockeheart asked:

umm seems a bit odd most all comments of narcissistic people are made in point of view if it's always the guy???

YouTuber Jane Gore asked:

I don't want to turn into a narcissist by acting like a narcissist thank you.

That's just stupid advice.

It maybe the only way to survive if you have to live with one but it's soul destroying at the same time.

It's a torturous position to be in but to follow your advice is suppressing your own true feelings and emotions to such an extent that you become dangerously close to becoming a narc yourself.

YouTuber Nahyun Lee asked

What is the difference in you and the narcissist if you do these things. These exact things are what they are always doing. Everything is a game to them.

YouTuber Danny Rubens said:

i m sorry i hate to read

YouTuber Nickolai Siegfried asked:

could you please stop saying "he" when referring to a narc. i was emotionally abused by a nasty female narc and would appreciate if you could use "them or their" when referring to these evil people. thanks

And a few others.

The majority of these comments are on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnVyIaV1D2A&lc=z12lzb3yooq1hr4mu22aj3hysqf1ydjyx04

Life can get really, really good - if you only allow it.
