At times certain types of people will still try to approach you regardless. But when you are healed/healing. You will not tolerate things that you have in the past. You will be willing to say no and stick to it. You will set boundaries, and you will not bend them, just to appease to someone else. It is not about who is supposedly attracted to you, but it's about how you respond to them. Have a blessed day/week.

Agree. I discovered just the word "narcissist" when I was googling the behaviour of a wicked manipulative two timing Social Worker!! Its scary some of them are in our system! Then when I later left shaken traumatised after a "situationship" I took myself off to some talk therapy, and the word came up again, the councillor said he sounded narcissistic (bareing in mind I was still half covering up for him) and I suggested I do my own research on narcissim. Ever since Ive been doing my research and was also surprised to learn I was brought up in very Narcissistic environment, (and ppl would say forget your childhood and move on!) and now Im more aware how relevant it was with putting up and rose coloured glasses on narcissim because I became so accustomed to it. Still finding extremely difficult to find good people and relationships that dont break down. In the meantime I still feel so scared and traumatised Im keeping away from most people until I find (safer) people to associate with, but I fear Im so broken, healthy people wouldnt want to associate with me (drawn to me) anyways, but Ive been "hurmit'izing" for a very long time, but when I have courage again I will be looking out for relationships that treat me with more respect hopefully, but still somewhat doubt my judgement. .. thanks for listening, Ive waffed on..

Being what everyone demands of me and needing my loved ones acceptance has been my identity since my teenage years. It’s terrifying to focus on myself, because it feels like I’m letting go of my loved ones and I need to always focus on fighting for them and the relationship. After a while, after a relationship ends, I’m able to enjoy self love and care but it takes time. And once im in contact with anyone, even in a new relationship that isn’t abusive, I get anxious and feel im not enough if I self care. And so the cycle repeats itself. Although I don’t tolerate abuse, I still stay and try to work through it beyond saving. Im just realizing this after twenty years- my fear of self love and care while in a dynamic with another person. My fear of losing them trumps loving myself.

My take is that feeling safe is the main ingredient of a no contact recipe. All can recall the health deprivation during a stint in narc subjugation. It would be no different after being in a car accident & requiring safe driving as the pilot or passenger. Many of life experiences are logically rooted and is totally understandable. No need to doubt it from questioning it being a reasonable concern. The fear based decision dissipates and becomes logic.

Words and activites can have some feature of "how do i do this". So when i do a you tube hynosis or meditation im slowing down the central nervous system and increase parasympathetic nervous system. The narc is 6feet away but no biggy cause when she tries to interact i use Ross Rosenberg's observe don't absorb. She know i will process any verbalizations she makes and if it takes longer than she thinks it should. She will say something. I will then reframe the situation and verbalize that "i'm not you". Which is helpful because she lacks object constancy. If she asks again she will get the same reaction from me ("i am not you"- that could be used as michelles broken record technique). It may help her increase her cognitive empathy. She then will increase her own ability to filter her thought before she just says them. It would be aversive if she repeated her question or said why are you still thinking. She will hear " i'm not you". I use these words because narcs think everyone is their possession. They own you. So she had heard this so many times that it can become an introject. I couldn't tell you if it will be or is egosyntonic (not emotionally foreign or negative\emotionally painful or egodystonic (emotionally foreign and possible painful emotionally).

Awesome 😎 hack! I’ve been laughing at their ridiculous behaviors (ie, virtue signaling) and not tolerating the destructive behaviors.

When my children are with their Narcissistic Father, I have difficulty staying focused on myself. How do I do this?
@holisticenergymedicineappr78983 жыл бұрын
Just pamper yourself... Manicures💅(specially if they told you your hands are not pretty, wear bracelets and everything possible to show love and respect to what they wanted to damage... Or if they criticised your hair, love your hair... Groom it with a lovely, romantic color... And so on. To calm down, I also feel useful hot salt bath at home, or at the beach... And green juices (chlorella, spirulina powder, etc), or from supermarket(apple, celery, parsley, etc)... These juices remove the heavy toxines from your system, left from long time over excited brain throwing cortisol and adrenaline and creating damages to your organs... And go to safe places, move to a safe town or neighborhood where you feel great! And avoid new malignant people, even on youtube..

I hope this isn't a video solely aimed at women, because the lessons should apply equally to 'both' sexes?
