I’m a Narcissist: Yes, We Know What We’re Doing

The Mental Healness Podcast

Show Notes

I’m a diagnosed narcissist, and in this video I explain why many narcissistic people know when they are manipulating, lying, withholding affection, shifting blame, or causing emotional harm. Awareness does not equal accountability, and knowing better does not automatically mean someone will choose to behave better. This is not an excuse for narcissistic abuse it is a first-person perspective on self-awareness, entitlement, control, and the work required to change harmful patterns. If someone repeatedly hurts you and then claims they “didn’t know,” pay attention to their actions, not just their apologies. Healing may require boundaries, distance, and support that centers your safety.

In this reaction, I break down how Taylor Swift’s fictional “Patient Zero” video depicts the cycle of a toxic relationship from charm and love bombing to gaslighting, blame reversal, public image management, and the warnings people often miss. As a diagnosed narcissist, I explain why the video’s themes may resonate with survivors who felt confused by a partner who seemed charming in public but unsafe behind closed doors. This is commentary on fictional characters and relationship patterns, not a diagnosis of any real person. We also explore why a former partner may try to warn the next person and why survivors are never responsible for someone else’s abusive choices. If a relationship feels unsafe, reach out to trusted support and prioritize your safety.

I’m a diagnosed narcissist, and in this video I explain why many narcissistic people believe you will never leave them even after lying, cheating, manipulation, or emotional abuse. They may mistake your empathy, hope, patience, and history together for proof that you will always stay or come back. This first-person perspective explores narcissistic entitlement, devaluation, control, grandiosity, and why setting a boundary can suddenly make you seem “flawed” in their eyes. This is not an excuse for abuse: you are not weak, and you do not need someone’s permission to choose yourself. If leaving feels unsafe, seek trusted local support and prioritize a safety plan.

Can a narcissist change? In this Mental Healness Podcast episode, Lee Hammock talks with Caleb, another diagnosed narcissist, about rock bottom, therapy, accountability, regret, emotional abuse, and rebuilding a 26 year marriage. Caleb shares how an NPD diagnosis changed his approach to relationships, parenting, empathy, and taking responsibility without excuses. We also discuss why detailed accountability, honesty, and long term therapeutic work matter more than promises. This conversation is educational and reflects personal experiences, not clinical advice or a diagnosis of any viewer.

She Had a Baby With a Narcissist Because She Thought It Would Make Him Love Her More and change his ways towards her. Big Big mistake because having babies DO NOT change people. They tend to make things worse. This man thought he was going to be happy with a side chick the side chick didn't even like him lol.
