Why Are We Coming Out About Narcissists in Our Lives?

Subscribe in a reader

For those of you that do not know our story we dated the same man at the same time. He lied to both of us, promised things he never kept, my final discard was horrific as he had me arrested to protect his secret that he had been dating us the same time. People and friends are asking us why are we doing this? Revenge? No! Healing for us and raise awareness of this epidemic called narcissist abuse

Okay, you gonna go first and introduce yourself. That’s it last time, but I did it like three times

0:00:08.950,0:00:10.950
Hi, I’m gazelle

0:00:11.559,0:00:16.349
[she’s] was alan. I’m tracy yep. Well that’s covered

0:00:18.070,0:00:20.670
What are we talking about today? I know what we’re talking wear today

0:00:21.520,0:00:26.099
I know that I’ve been asked this and I’m sure you have as well Tracy is um

0:00:27.099,0:00:30.029
People want to know why we are doing this

0:00:30.699,0:00:34.499
why we are talking about our shared experience and

0:00:35.739,0:00:41.189
Um and talking about it a lot obviously you know as it would have seemed. We’re putting it on camera

0:00:41.190,0:00:47.070
So um are now, it’ll be your turn to speak first cuz I’m going to ask Tracy. Why she’s doing this

0:00:49.390,0:00:56.640
Well what people have actually said you know are you doing this so that you can get revenge? Are you doing this?

0:00:58.270,0:01:06.209
You know so many other reasons people have asked us about and and I started doing this well before her and um

0:01:08.560,0:01:14.850
It was sort of I learned so much from a Youtube [university] and from the people that

0:01:16.180,0:01:22.439
Really I can say threw me a lifeline and saved me. I am so grateful that

0:01:23.049,0:01:30.299
I know I have a voice clearly. I have a voice. I can talk a lot use my hands

0:01:32.740,0:01:39.509
And I know that we all relate to different people and we each have our own story a lot of the people on YouTube are

0:01:40.329,0:01:42.329
therapists and

0:01:43.119,0:01:44.649
psychologists and

0:01:44.649,0:01:46.649
a lot of them are just

0:01:46.930,0:01:48.460
Survivors and

0:01:48.460,0:01:54.419
I think that’s what I wanted to do was tell my story and help other people in a non

0:01:56.530,0:02:00.719
Codependent way, I am just helping people because I want to raise awareness

0:02:01.990,0:02:05.670
Yeah, how are you? I think for me um there’s

0:02:06.399,0:02:10.678
I consider myself a teacher, and I consider myself somebody who’s

0:02:11.349,0:02:13.349
to serve other people

0:02:14.349,0:02:16.649
And every part of me has screened

0:02:16.959,0:02:22.348
To just go and curl up in a ball and forget about this and not not talk about it because there’s a lot of stuff

0:02:23.109,0:02:26.069
Am I and here that I didn’t need all

0:02:26.650,0:02:31.650
Necessarily want additional they didn’t want to share you know are you trying to do a shoulder things?

0:02:34.989,0:02:38.309
Anyways, I’m so immature and I mulder

0:02:39.310,0:02:44.549
Was a lot of stuff. I didn’t want to share right so it was so interesting to me that that um

0:02:45.519,0:02:49.619
Even just to make this this video. I have made a very conscious effort to

0:02:50.980,0:02:52.980
I

0:02:53.019,0:02:58.408
guess to reach out to people from the port from the vantage point of Having had an experience and

0:02:58.750,0:03:00.989
The more we talk about the more

0:03:00.989,0:03:06.328
I realize that so many other people have had this experience or some [of] the ones or work much worse

0:03:07.299,0:03:12.358
experiences, and I think that you teach from your story, I think that

0:03:12.909,0:03:14.730
when [you] do teach from your story

0:03:14.730,0:03:22.199
It makes it really powerful and when you teach from your story in a positive and uplifting way it makes even more powerful

0:03:22.199,0:03:24.159
so that’s why I

0:03:24.159,0:03:26.159
Really want to do this and back Tracy?

0:03:26.440,0:03:27.840
for the first time ever

0:03:27.840,0:03:34.949
I really feel that my voice is important, and if you know if that can just help one person

0:03:35.650,0:03:38.280
Avoid is that the pain that I have felt?

0:03:39.010,0:03:40.349
And don’t get me wrong

0:03:40.349,0:03:42.060
You know people have their own journeys

0:03:42.060,0:03:47.759
And you do have a journey and in this life that you need to go through which will include pain

0:03:49.659,0:03:53.399
But if I could help take the edge of that edge off of that pain

0:03:53.400,0:03:57.299
Just a little bit that would serve me well. I would love that

0:03:57.849,0:04:01.649
And I think we have a very unusual story there are

0:04:02.169,0:04:04.169
probably a lot of

0:04:04.599,0:04:06.599
people that have

0:04:07.120,0:04:09.120
been the next supply

0:04:10.030,0:04:14.009
But they didn’t find out they were the next supply at the same time

0:04:15.069,0:04:20.548
so there’s that and I think in us we have hope that

0:04:21.639,0:04:23.639
our friendship is

0:04:24.249,0:04:29.519
Something that has bonded us, and I don’t think if we had met and he wasn’t ever in our lives

0:04:29.520,0:04:32.219
I think we would have been like a perfect match, but I

0:04:33.400,0:04:38.429
Think that we have to show people that not to hate the next supply because ultimately

0:04:39.699,0:04:44.728
The Narcissus is not going to be able to do anything more. They’re never going to commit

0:04:44.729,0:04:51.989
They’re never going to love and if you sit there and put all this anger inside of you that the next supply is

0:04:52.539,0:04:58.438
Getting taken to dinner more or maybe they went on an aspen ski trip or something and you didn’t get that

0:05:00.159,0:05:01.509
it

0:05:01.509,0:05:04.408
Doesn’t matter it’s that love bombing stage. It’s whatever

0:05:05.199,0:05:06.729
they

0:05:06.729,0:05:12.688
Portrayed or their concerns and the narcissist kind of shaped himself he just makes himself into something

0:05:12.759,0:05:19.559
For each person, and that’s the unique part of our story, right yes. Oh yes, I I mean, I hear that a lot

0:05:19.560,0:05:21.560
I hear a lot about

0:05:21.969,0:05:23.969
Working with people every day. You know

0:05:25.150,0:05:30.299
The next girlfriend even when there’s no overlapping as there was in our situation where there was an overlapping

0:05:30.460,0:05:33.120
Even when there isn’t an overlapping. It’s very easy to

0:05:34.029,0:05:36.209
not like the next person in

0:05:37.539,0:05:39.539
Your man or your woman’s life?

0:05:40.750,0:05:45.479
This has been the most empowering experience of my life because I can go you know what um

0:05:46.210,0:05:48.210
wow um

0:05:48.909,0:05:53.519
She’s [not] unlike me. You know she’s been in the same case I have been and

0:05:54.939,0:06:01.319
Butter it though we’re not victims. We’re not victors and we’re not touching the bum bum bum of the victim drum

0:06:01.839,0:06:09.419
But you actually laugh a lot about the similarities it just like oh [my] God. Yeah, you know

0:06:09.419,0:06:11.419
It’s kind of like matching shirts again

0:06:11.680,0:06:14.159
It’s our thing now just saying

0:06:16.509,0:06:22.408
Yeah, I think that’s a lot. I have to certain about you. Yeah, that’s short and sweet. It’s time for dinner date

0:06:22.539,0:06:26.188
So thank you all this is Tracy and this is lasalle
