In this video, I explain the correlation between mental health (or self-love abundance) and one’s ability to recognize narcissists, whether they be the grandiose and obvious bull-dog (overt) variety or the covert/stealthy sociopathic type.
Codependents/Self-Love Deficients (SLDD)/SLDs are oblivious to narcissists and often mistake them for normal or healthy. Moreover, they are often gaslit to think that they are the narcissist. Conversely, recovering codependents, or SLA’s (Self-Love Abundants), see narcissists everywhere.
For dramatic impact, I begin the video with a clip from the movie, The Sixth Sense, in which the boy, Cole Sear, is telling his friend, Dr. Malcolm Crowe his secret adding my word substitution for “dead people.”
Cole: “I want to tell you my secret now. I see dead (narcissists) people.”
Dr. Crowe: “In your dreams, while you are awake?”
Cole: “Walking around like regular people.
Cole: “They (narcissists) don’t see each other.
Cole: “They (narcissists) only see what they want to see.
Cole: “They (narcissists) don’t know they are dead (narcissistic).”
Dr. Crowe: “How often to you see them?”
Cole: “All the time…they’re everywhere.”
