What do you think of the YouTube narcissism expert Dr. Ramani Duruvasula?

She has put out endless videos on every possible permutation of dealing with a narcissist. She speaks so quickly I have trouble following her. Sometimes I think the permutations are worthwhile, and other times I think who the fuck knows, as I watch video number 904.

She seems like a nice and intelligent person. I wish I could afford therapy with her.

But every once in a while she seems a little nutty. I wonder who the narcissist was in her life, because you don’t get that kind of minute expertise from a book.

I am wondering if Narcissism is just a newly adopted diagnosis fad. There are psychologists flooding the internet with the subject. I too think Dr Ramani is a bit too zealous. There are many others on line, leading me to conclude that narcissism is the flavor of the month for shrinks.

I prefer the YouTube Channel Thrive After Abuse. Dana was a psychiatric nurse and is better, more knowledgeable, and more personable with the topic of NPD, in my opinion.

I’m new to Dr Ramani and she is kind of nutty but I keep watching her videos. (I have a monster sibling and need help coping)

Her bug eyes, her excessive content..:and yet there is something I like about her. Very animated.

In recent videos her hair is half white, greasy and she broadcasts from her bedroom, in front of an unmade bed.

Is Dr. Ramani ok?

She has some good info but daily videos are a bit much and it comes off way too greedy.

At the height of Megxit she put a disclaimer on her channel that her videos were not about any one particular person. Apparently her videos were being shared on way too many Harkle forums/threads.

The Body Language Guy also has some good info.

It’s hard to trust ‘content creators’ because once they become popular they start posting with greater frequency and the quality degrades while the information remains the same even if communicated differently. They’re obviously reacting to the new income coming in and such a huge pivot in schedule can only indicate that they want more.

Her videos pause for advertisements, I hate that. I like Lisa Romano

Her bug eyes don’t come across as looking sane.

I'm too distracted by her untouched roots to listen to anything she says.

I can't be the only one!

You are not the only one R8.

So many videos, she is unhinged.
