• 0:53

• 1:00
  boyfriend, my girlfriend, my husband, my wife, my spouse they
• 1:03
  cool. But my best friend, Yikes.
• 1:07
  I just, I swear up and down they might be toxic as hell.
• 1:11
  What I'm dealing with I'm I'm be willing to say my best friend,
• 1:14
  my BFF, my acquaintance, my friend through a friend is a
• 1:19
  narcissist or very highly toxic. How the hell do you tell?
• 1:23
  You know how, how, how can I tell?
• 1:25
  Like leave break, Please break it down for us.
• 1:27
  So before we break it down, make sure if you haven't already,
• 1:30
  check out joining one of my support groups or my taking one
• 1:33
  of my courses. You can find everything
• 1:35
  available at courses.mentalillnessmyname.net.
• 1:40
  Check everything out there and whatnot or you can find
• 1:43
  everything. My one of ones at
• 1:44
  mentalillness.net. Anyways.
• 1:48
  But like, yeah, narcissistic people, toxic people or AI ain't
• 1:51
  going to say or a plague or whatnot because I have
• 1:54
  narcissistic personality disorder that with me, I'm part
• 1:56
  of the plague. No, but narcissistic people,
• 2:00
  right, have this mindset where they want to be the best.
• 2:05
  They want to be viewed as the best.
• 2:07
  So if you're dealing with a narcissistic person, right, they
• 2:10
  might be your friend, they might be your BFF.
• 2:13
  They're almost always going to be in some type of competition
• 2:16
  with you. They're almost always going to
• 2:19
  be sane in doing questionable behaviors around you.
• 2:22
  Like it's hard for them to allow you to get a one to one up them.
• 2:27
  It's hard for them to celebrate your successes alongside of you.
• 2:31
  Is extremely difficult for a narcissist or a toxic person to
• 2:35
  just celebrate you like they should right?
• 2:38
  Like a like a normal friend would.
• 2:40
  It's extremely difficult for a toxic, abusive person to just
• 2:44
  celebrate you and your friendship like that.
• 2:47
  They celebrate your wins. If you graduate from college and
• 2:49
  your friend hasn't, guess what? Guess what's going to happen?
• 2:52
  They might not show up. They might make try to make your
• 2:55
  college graduation or your promotion or whatever your high
• 2:57
  school graduation about them. And I know that I know that
• 3:01
  sounds absolutely ridiculous, but this is the mind of a lot of
• 3:05
  narcissistic people, right? Like they want to compete with
• 3:08
  you. Like your your BFF that might be
• 3:11
  a narcissist wants to compete with you because they want to
• 3:15
  make you feel less than. Like can a like let me say this,
• 3:19
  can a narcissist possibly possibly be a good friend?
• 3:22
  Yeah, you might have a narcissistic friend that you
• 3:25
  don't have any problems with, but everybody else does.
• 3:28
  Like you might be a narcissist favorite person so they make you
• 3:32
  their friend, right? But everybody else gets treated
• 3:35
  horribly by this person like toxic narcissistic friends.
• 3:39
  They really can be a plague to your can be a plague to your
• 3:43
  life, to your other relationships.
• 3:45
  That's what happens a lot of times in these spaces, like
• 3:47
  you're doing these arses and they want to compete with you.
• 3:50
  They want to bring you down. They want to pull you down a
• 3:52
  notch. But some of them will just root
• 3:54
  for the root to hell. They they, they'll cheer louder
• 3:57
  than everybody else. You ever seen Tropic Thunder
• 4:00
  when they were talking to Tuck Speedman?
• 4:01
  Like when you when they cheer, you cheer harder, man.
• 4:05
  When they cry, you cry harder man.
• 4:08
  That narcissistic person, narcissistic friend is going to
• 4:11
  make try to make everything about them.
• 4:13
  Even your celebration, even your graduation, even your
• 4:16
  promotions, whatever it is that you are advancing in life, your
• 4:20
  successes, they will try to make it about them.
• 4:23
  That's the the ever changing mindscape of a narcissistic
• 4:27
  person, right? They want to make everything
• 4:29
  about them in some way, shape or form.
• 4:31
  They were oh, remember we made it this far.
• 4:34
  Remember we did this. Remember you did this.
• 4:35
  You would have never been here without me.
• 4:37
  This happens if you have a friend that you feel like has it
• 4:41
  is struggling to celebrate you or celebrate you over the top
• 4:46
  and just makes all makes like all the makes all the attention
• 4:50
  be on them. That could be a toxic
• 4:52
  narcissistic friend that you're dealing with, right?
• 4:54
  You could very well be dealing with a toxic friend and it sucks
• 4:58
  to say and it sucks to put out loud because it can be very
• 5:01
  difficult to have a friend that is toxic, a friend that is
• 5:04
  abusive, a friend that is narcissistic.
• 5:06
  Because y'all could have been. It could be.
• 5:08
  It could be in your life for a long time.
• 5:10
  A lot of people think that narcissists can only have short
• 5:13
  term friendships. Hell no.
• 5:15
  There are some nurses. They can absolutely have long
• 5:18
  term friendships and relationships like that.
• 5:20
  They absolutely can. Doesn't mean that they're going
• 5:22
  to be good healthy friendships or relationships, but they
• 5:25
  absolutely can have these long term dynamics that work out for
• 5:29
  them. You know, y'all families might,
• 5:31
  y'all might be next door neighbors, Y'all might go to the
• 5:33
  same school for a long last time.
• 5:35
  Like they can be in your life for a long time, but doesn't
• 5:37
  mean that they're going to treat you horribly all the time.
• 5:40
  It's not all going to be bad. Y'all might have fallen out like
• 5:44
  a narcissist. That's a friend can ghost you.
• 5:47
  Just like in the relationship y'all the same rules apply.
• 5:50
  Just like in a relationship, just like in the ear.
• 5:53
  They can ghost you, they will get they can ghost you.
• 5:56
  They can give you the silent treatment.
• 5:59
  They can they can rage out on you as well.
• 6:02
  You ever had a, a friend give you narcissistic grades?
• 6:07
  That's that's damn near next level.
• 6:10
  That's damn near next level insanity right there.
• 6:12
  If you're dealing with somebody and you're like, damn, this,
• 6:14
  this person right here, toxic as hell, but they're my friend.
• 6:16
  They're my best, they're my BFF. Whatever is going on here and
• 6:19
  it's hard for you to separate yourself from them.
• 6:22
  It is. I'm not trying to make it sound
• 6:24
  like it's easy because narcissistic people, they can
• 6:26
  make it very difficult to deal with them.
• 6:28
  They absolutely can. And that's why I was just
• 6:30
  telling you, like dealing with a narcissist, it's tough as it is
• 6:35
  anyway, but dealing with that one that's a friend that you've
• 6:38
  been friends with for a long ass time can be even tougher
• 6:41
  sometimes. Because they, like I said, they
• 6:44
  will make everything about them. They will compete with you.
• 6:47
  They will rage out on you. Like if, if you like, they'll
• 6:51
  give you the silent treatment and be super passive aggressive
• 6:54
  because you can't have it. You can't have a covert
• 6:55
  narcissistic friend, right? They will give you the silent
• 6:58
  treatment and be super passive aggressive to you, right?
• 7:03
  They would be super passive aggressive to you and just treat
• 7:08
  you horribly. And you don't know what you've
• 7:09
  done wrong. Imagine your friend doing this
• 7:12
  to you, being passive aggressive.
• 7:14
  You don't know what? You don't know what you've done
• 7:16
  wrong. And it refused to tell you.
• 7:17
  They'll give you this silent treatment.
• 7:19
  They're started. Yeah.
• 7:21
  Your friend can't start a smear campaign.
• 7:23
  Yeah, imagine having a friend that starts a damn smear
• 7:25
  campaign on you. What the heck?
• 7:27
  Like what is even that type of mindset?
• 7:29
  What type of mindset goes into your friend starting a smear
• 7:32
  campaign on you? Like lying and spreading rumors?
• 7:36
  A big sign of a narcissistic friend?
• 7:38
  It's a smear campaign that might not even be directed towards
• 7:42
  you, but it can be directed towards other people in your
• 7:44
  friend group. Like they want you to
• 7:47
  themselves. They like to isolate you as
• 7:50
  well. They want you to themselves.
• 7:51
  They will spread rumors about about other people to you.
• 7:55
  They'll spread rumors about other you to other people.
• 7:58
  The smear campaign like narcissistic people like drama.
• 8:02
  A lot of them like drama. They like controlled chaos.
• 8:04
  They like to be the one pulling the strings behind the behind
• 8:09
  the scenes and whatnot. They like to see a plan come
• 8:11
  together, especially that plan is that is is self-serving in
• 8:15
  nature. They love it see they come
• 8:16
  together like if you if this if you have a toxic friend, they
• 8:21
  might be overly interested in your partner in your
• 8:23
  relationship. They might try to 3rd will your
• 8:26
  relationship like you just got a new boyfriend or girlfriend.
• 8:29
  They might try to be the new They might try to be your plus
• 8:31
  one to every single thing. Y'all?
• 8:32
  Y'all got a + 1 yo you're in a relationship but you got a + 1
• 8:36
  and a narcissistic friend is the type of person they will date
• 8:39
  and or marry your ex. They are so jealous.
• 8:43
  They can be so jealous of you and they want your life so much
• 8:46
  that some of them will absolutely marry and or date
• 8:49
  your ex. They will and they won't feel
• 8:52
  bad about doing it because they feel like entitled to it.
• 8:54
  They have this weird sense of entitlement to your exes, to
• 8:58
  your ex-husband, your ex-wife to to like.
• 9:01
  Don't share. Don't share the fact that you
• 9:03
  get that you like somebody. Even if you tell them you like
• 9:05
  somebody, they might not even really like the person, but
• 9:09
  they'll go for them just because you like them because they're so
• 9:11
  jealous of you. They feel entitled to being in
• 9:13
  your space. Like they will date your
• 9:16
  friends, they will date your family members.
• 9:18
  They will do this type of stuff. They will do this, they will
• 9:22
  date your, they will date your, like I said, your crush.
• 9:26
  You know, I got a crush. I love Lee.
• 9:28
  Lee is, I love Lee so much. I, you know, I have a crush on
• 9:32
  him. And guess who dated me?
• 9:34
  Your your friend. Your friend is now dating me
• 9:36
  because they're jealous of you. They didn't even like me at
• 9:39
  first. They might even talk.
• 9:40
  Look, your narcissistic friend or your bestie might even even
• 9:44
  be talking trash about your crush to make you less
• 9:47
  interested in them. And then they go behind your
• 9:49
  back and snake them. And guess what happened?
• 9:51
  They might they might get married, they might have a long
• 9:53
  term relationship. They might love bomb your crush
• 9:56
  and bring them around you just to rub it in your face.
• 9:59
  And then sometimes they'll just discard them.
• 10:01
  And a lot of times in these friend groups, y'all, you don't
• 10:05
  date your friends exes. So they don't expect you to date
• 10:08
  through, even though you might still like them.
• 10:10
  You don't date your friends exes, right?
• 10:12
  So that that person not off the table for you, they took that
• 10:15
  person off the table for you. This, this happens y'all and a
• 10:18
  lot of y'all who've had best friends or BFFS that have been
• 10:21
  narcissists, y'all can attest to this as well, can't you?
• 10:23
  You understand exactly what I'm saying, Like, you know, the
• 10:26
  mindset into depravity that goes into being this toxic, being
• 10:30
  this narcissistic, being this horrible a person that the type
• 10:33
  of mindset that it takes to go into the depths to treat
• 10:36
  somebody in this type of way, right?
• 10:38
  Like they will take your crushes, they will take your
• 10:40
  partners, they will spread rumors and you know, try to, you
• 10:43
  know, try to send salacious messages to your partner or
• 10:47
  whatever, your husband, your wife, your boyfriend, your
• 10:49
  girlfriend, to just try to get you.
• 10:52
  You know, I was just testing them.
• 10:54
  They weren't testing them. They will sleep with your your
• 10:55
  partner behind your back. They will and they won't tell
• 10:59
  him about it. They'll just rub it in your
• 11:00
  face. They absolutely will rub it in
• 11:02
  your face and you won't even know it.
• 11:04
  They'll just do it. They do it because it's sinister
• 11:06
  in nature and they like to get away with things.
• 11:08
  They like to try to one up you. They like to do this like little
• 11:11
  sneaky stuff behind the scenes to one up you in order to feel
• 11:15
  better about themselves. This happens quite a bit y'all.
• 11:18
  So you're a narcissistic friend. Like I said, they will compete
• 11:20
  with you. They'll apply for the same job
• 11:22
  as you like if they're if your friend is your boss, they would
• 11:25
  just belittle you. They'll treat you horribly like
• 11:27
  and all of a sudden, like I said, a friend, your friend can
• 11:30
  love bomb you. Your friend can future fake you
• 11:33
  your friend. We're going to go to the same
• 11:34
  school, we will graduate. We're going to the same school,
• 11:36
  same college. We go our our daughter's going
• 11:38
  to grow up, be best friends. Our sons are going to play
• 11:40
  sports together. They can in future fake the hell
• 11:42
  out of you so you sell you this dream of having this long term
• 11:46
  great amazing friendship for the rest of your life and then
• 11:48
  they'll snake you with your partner.
• 11:51
  So be very careful. Y'all with these hocks and
• 11:52
  narcissistic competitive natured horrible friends and horrible
• 11:57
