 You cannot be friends with the narcissist. You cannot be friends with them. They are your enemy, not your friend. They are your opposition. They put themselves in opposition to you. So that makes them your enemy, your adversary. So you cannot be friends with them. Time and time again they will turn against you. Just as they have before. But when the relationship is over, they may say to you that you could be friends. But that is not an offer that you should accept. Because people like that, they are envious and jealous. They will go out of their way to undermine you. To hinder your progress and success. Because the last thing they want is to see you happy. They can't stand it. They don't want to see you moving on and becoming successful. They don't want to see you with someone else. And you're happy. That is the last thing that they want to see. So don't ever think that you could be friends with the narcissist. You cannot be friends with them. Anyone who tries to be friends with a narcissist and you know what you're dealing with and you try to be friends with them. I can promise you that they will show you every reason why you have made a big mistake. I mean when it comes down to it, that's what they do. That's what they always do. When you get involved with a narcissist it doesn't matter if it's a friend, relationship partner, family member, whatever it is. When you get involved with a narcissist trust and believe that they will show you every reason why that was the last thing you should have done. Why that is something that you should never do. They will show you that you have made a big mistake. By befriending them or by getting in a relationship with them they will show you every time that they are not to be trusted. And you just got to look at it like how many more things do I have to see? How many more times do they have to do this to me until I finally get it? Until I finally understand. I don't mean to put it so bluntly but you know that's just how it is and some of us need to see it for what it is because I get it, I know many of you are trapped in the trauma bond and I understand the effects that that has on people and that's why I'm making this video because I think it's time for people to wake up and see what is right in front of them. It's time for people to realise what they're dealing with what they've been dealing with. How many more times does this person have to show you that they are not to be trusted? How many more times they do all of these things they manipulate you, they trick you and then they devalue and degrade you they turn everyone against you and then they discard you and then even while they've got this smear campaign going on and they ran off with your stuff they stole from you then suddenly here they come here they pop up in your text messages your emails or on social media oh we can still be friends no, no we ain't having that we ain't having that you can't be friends with them after everything they did to you after everything they said not only to you but behind your back to other people remember that remember that remember all of those things they said and did and realise that you are better than that you do deserve better treatment than what they gave to you and I'm not talking about money material things I'm not talking about none of that I'm talking about just plain old-fashioned respect which every human being is deserving of and yeah I mean that's the one thing if of anything that you never get from them you never get any genuine respect from a narcissist sometimes you may think you're getting it but it's fake it ain't real but it's time you start to realise that you deserve it you deserve respect everyone deserves respect just for being alive I mean just look at all of the things they did to you you still respected them you still remained loyal to them you still took care of them but at some point you've gotta say no more you gotta say it's time to move on and forget this shit because this shit is bringing you down it's affecting your life it's affecting your livelihood your happiness everything that you deserve so yeah you are my advice you cannot be friends with the narcissist because they're not gonna be friends with you I don't care what they say yeah they can text you they can call you yeah we can still be friends yeah they've said a lot of things in the past how much of that was true 73 live viewers in here hit the thumbs up button down below let's get this message out there people need to hear that people need to be aware of this share your thoughts on the comment section share this video if you are interested in one-on-one coaching session with me you can book from my website it's narcsurvivor.co.uk and check out my Instagram as well it's narcsurvivor youtube on Instagram alright I'm gonna go and get something to eat now thank you all for joining me and I will talk to you in another one very soon
