Top 4 narcs who tried to outsmart the jury Mar 26, 2026

Show notes

"There is nothing narcissists love more than a stage, and a witness stand is the ultimate platform. Today on MentalHealness, I’m breaking down the top 4 narcissists I’ve seen testify in their own defense..."

As a diagnosed narcissist, I see the playbook they were using: the "pity play," the word salad, and the absolute refusal to take accountability. We’re deep-diving into the cases of Alex Murdaugh, Robert Telles, and more. Why do we think we can win over a jury when the evidence is stacked against us? I’m telling you the truth about the "Narcissistic God Complex" in the courtroom.

IN THIS VIDEO:

Ali Abulaban: The performer who couldn't stop making it about his lost "career."
Brendan Banfield: Breaking down his 2026 "De-escalation" lie—why the jury didn't buy it.
Alex Murdaugh: The "Crying Mask" and the collapse of a legal dynasty.
Robert Telles: The "Helpful Neighbor" who claimed he was framed by an assassin.
The Common Thread: Why narcs almost ALWAYS testify (and why it’s usually their downfall).

NARCISSISTS THINK THEY OWN YOU: Why They Don’t Want You, But Won't Let You Go Mar 25, 2026

Show notes

"If I’m done with you, why am I still stalking your page?"It’s one of the most confusing parts of the narcissistic cycle. They’ve discarded you, they’ve moved on, yet the moment you start to heal or find someone new, they reappear to blow your life up.Today at [Time], I’m breaking down the Narcissistic Ownership Mindset. As a diagnosed narcissist, I’m telling you the truth: it’s not because we miss you. It’s because we still view you as our property. We’re talking about the "Shelf" strategy, why your happiness feels like our failure, and how to break the "invisible leash" they’ve kept you on.

A REAL Narcissist Reacts to "You’re Dating A Narcissist!" Movie Trailer Mar 24, 2026

Show notes

"Is she a genius psychologist, or is she the real problem?"

Marisa Tomei is coming for the narcs on March 27th! I just watched the trailer for the new movie "You’re Dating A Narcissist!" and as a diagnosed narcissist, I have thoughts. Tomei plays Judy, a professor who thinks her daughter is marrying a "narc," but is she seeing real red flags or is she just projecting her own trauma?

I’m breaking down the trailer, the "narc" shorthand, and whether Hollywood is finally getting narcissism right or if this is just another "Terrible Take." We’re also talking about the Manosphere crossover—because the fiancé in this movie looks like he’s been taking notes from the Red Pill playbook.

IN THIS REACTION:

The "Narc" Label: Why the shorthand used in the film matters.
Marisa Tomei’s Character: Is the "Narcissist Expert" actually a narcissist herself?
Spotting the Groom: I’m looking for the real red flags in the trailer footage.

THE POWER OF SAYING NO: Watching the Narcissist Collapse Mar 23, 2026

Show notes

"No is a complete sentence, but to a narcissist, it’s a declaration of war."Have you ever noticed how a simple "No" can turn a charming partner into a raging stranger? Today on MentalHealness, I’m breaking down the psychology of what happens inside a narcissist’s mind when they lose control. As a diagnosed narcissist, I’m telling you why that one little word feels like a physical attack to us.We’re talking about the Narcissistic Injury, the inevitable Collapse, and the new 2026 trend of "Weaponized Therapy Speak"—where they try to tell you that your "No" is actually you "violating their boundaries."

GRIEVING LALA: A Diagnosed Narcissist’s Unfiltered Look at Pet Loss & Vulnerability Mar 22, 2026

Show notes

Losing my dog, Lala, has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever faced. As a diagnosed narcissist, I’m giving you an inside look at how I used to process grief versus how I’m handling it now. For years, therapy has been about stripping away the armor, and nothing tests that work like the loss of a "soul dog."

Lala was a Jackabee (Jack Russell & Beagle mix) who taught me more about unconditional love than most people ever could. Today, I’m being honest about the "Narcissistic Numbness" I used to feel and the visceral pain I’m feeling now. If you’ve ever wondered if a narcissist can truly love a pet, or how therapy actually changes the way we feel, this video is for you.

IN THIS VIDEO:

The Old Me vs. The New Me: How I would have "minimized" this loss 5 years ago.
The "Supply" Trap: Why pets are often the only creatures a narcissist feels safe being vulnerable with.
Therapy in the Raw: The specific work I’ve done to sit with grief instead of running from it.
Lala’s Legacy: Honoring the Jackabee who helped me become more human.

EXPOSING A NARCISSIST: Why Outing Them is Your Greatest Power Mar 20, 2026

Show notes

"The truth doesn't just set you free—it strips them of their power."They spend their entire lives building a facade. They lie, they manipulate, and they curate a version of themselves that the world loves. But what happens when you pull back the curtain? Today on MentalHealness, I’m breaking down why exposure is the ultimate "Narcissistic Injury."As a diagnosed narcissist, I’m telling you: our power lives in your silence. When you speak the truth—with facts, evidence, and a calm voice—you trigger a "Narcissistic Collapse" that we can’t easily recover from. We’re talking about why they fear your voice, how to expose them safely, and why the truth is the only thing a narcissist can't manipulate.

Doja Cat & BPD: Why the "Mask" Finally Came Off Mar 18, 2026

Show notes

"I’ve been pretending to be happy since I was a kid."On March 13, 2026, Doja Cat dropped a bombshell on TikTok: she’s been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). As a diagnosed narcissist, her description of "masking"—faking her personality and her joy for nearly 30 years—stopped me in my tracks.Today, we’re looking at the psychology of the "Celebrity Mask." We’re discussing how childhood survival traits become adult personality disorders, and why Chappell Roan’s move toward radical boundaries inspired Doja to finally get real. Is this the start of a "Unmasked" era for celebrities?

THE HIT LIST: Who Narcissists Hate the Most (and Why) Mar 16, 2026

Show notes

"It’s not just an annoyance; it’s a threat to our existence."Ever wondered why a narcissist seems to have a personal vendetta against certain people while they "tolerate" others? Today at 3:30 PM EST, I’m pulling back the curtain on the Narcissistic Hit List. As a diagnosed narcissist, I’m breaking down the four categories of people who trigger our deepest rage and why your "strength" feels like an "attack" to us. We’re talking about the people with iron-clad boundaries, the bosses who don't buy the charm, and the people who are simply better than us in ways we can't copy.

How do narcissists experience guilt or remorse? Mar 15, 2026

Show notes

"How can they sleep at night after what they did to me?"It’s the question that haunts every survivor. You’re looking for a sign of a conscience, a tear, or a genuine "I’m sorry." But it never comes. In this video, I’m breaking down the psychological mechanics of guilt and remorse from the perspective of a self-aware narcissist.I’m explaining why we don't experience "Remorse" (feeling bad for hurting you), but we do experience "Shame" (feeling bad for being caught or looking like the villain). Learn how the narcissistic brain deletes guilt to keep the "Hero Mask" intact.

THE 20-YEAR HOOVER: When the "Old Version" of Him Shows Up at Your Door 👴🏾🚩 Mar 14, 2026

Show notes

"He’s back... but he’s not the man you remember."

Today on MentalHealness, I’m telling the story of Timmy and Michelle. They were young, they were in love, and Timmy blew it with drugs and cheating. Fast forward 20 years—Michelle has moved on, but Timmy shows up with a "surprise" visit. He’s older, he’s divorced, and he’s got 6 kids he doesn't even take care of.

I’m breaking down the psychology of why an aging narcissist returns to an ex after decades. It’s not about "true love" or "destiny"—it’s about finding a soft place to land now that his options have dried up.

IN THIS STORYTELLING SESSION:

The Nostalgia Trap: Why they think you’ll forget the pain because of the passage of time.
The Reality Check: Breaking down the "New Timmy"—6 kids, no responsibility, same entitlement.
The Audacity: Why showing up unannounced is a massive boundary violation.
Michelle’s Choice: Why "Closure" means keeping the door locked.

Don't let a 20-year-old ghost haunt your current peace.
