@@letsbereal9455that’s how a narcissist works. Hear his words, and how angry/lost/vulnerable he is that she just upped and left when she was done. He treated her so badly she left. And yet he’s so caught up in his own worth that her leaving, making her own choices, hurt. He said ‘he wouldn’t get hung up’ on her, but that just was not the case. No more story required.

If you want to hurt another person then it doesn't sound like a proper relationship. More accurate is that after the break up the person you loved becomes indifferent to you, you have no feelings towards them anymore, no emotions, no love, no hatred, just some random person you used to know.

[@eddiereece5050]

When the OoohOohOooooh’s are back up vocals to the yelling in the middle of the song; it really captures the ANGST of fighting and talking over one another when arguing.

In 2007 I met this young woman who became my best friend, she made me laugh better than nobody, the sun in my life. In 2011 we start a relationship but the begining was very difficult for several reason (our exs, the jealousy…) and we break up at the same time this song came out. I was so sad… but few weeks after we got back together. And today she is my wife since 2015, and she sleeping next to me as i write these lines. The only love of my life. The break up songs exist, but in the real life, sometimes, the ending is better 😉

[@drgon41094]

I used to love this song when I was younger and grew obessed with it when it came out. But now fresh out of my first relationship..I can finally appreciate the lyrics and relate to them to the depths of my soul. I'm thankful my ex had the courage to initiate the break up once the relationship shifted to a hollow and bitter dynamic. Although there are agonizing emotions that come up at this point of my healing journey, I'm so grateful that he saved us both from many years of pain and heartache. We weren't right for each other in the end, but everything I've learned about myself after our time together- is still an unforgettable and integral part of rediscovering how to love myself. -So Thank you MB, I wish you the best.

Gotye Ft. Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know

[@qazplmm632]

As someone who has gotten out of an abusive relationship this song hits differently. When you think that somebody was your whole life and you could not live without them but once you actually start doing it, you see that they were slowly killing you. I've gotten to a point in my life that I never thought was possible with actually being free of suicidal thoughts, being able to feel joy and living my own life instead of my whole life being about making the other person happy and being manipulated into Stockholm syndrome. After someone has screwed you over so many times and made you believe it was always something you did, you do want to cut all the ties to that person. For your own safety. Don't let anyone tell you that abuse is a normal thing that happens in every relationship and you should just deal with it. If you think this is the case for you, do some research on narcissism and you might be surprised how many things it will clear up. Love bombing is not love, it's not worth it to let someone destroy you just so you can have some good days every now and then.

[@H8MACHINE1]

I agree! A Song about Narcism! Er hat sie schlecht behandelt, beschwert sich aber dann weil sie Schluss macht und komplett die Brücken abbricht. Aus Rache jammert er dann rum und rächt sich indem er sie behandelt wie jemanden den er nur mal gekannt hat. A*schlochverhalten nenne ich als Mann sowas!

I think it's more talking about the way that even though it makes you feel miserable, you just don't give up on the latest argument, trying to compromise and even just accepting their side even though you don't want to, anything to get back to the good times. Hence, you become addicted to it, every time you fall into an argument you just keep coming back and trying more, instead of... i guess just... letting go

[@autumn948]

After listening to this song for ages, and even reading the lyrics a few times to the song, I'm only now realizing that this song perfectly describes the best relationship of my life. We were so happy, or at least i told myself that. We would argue often, though, because i was vehemently not okay with lots of things he just expected me to get. But then again, he'd been in so many traumatic relationships before me, so many awful experiences. Who could blame him? And those happy moments, they were so good, they have no equal. And then, when it ended, even though he said that we would still be friends, he did just as the song describes. He cut me off, never replied again after a certain point. Now we just slowly drift apart, i see him leave an old discord server i made, i check and he's unfriended me, i don't hear from his friends anymore. Every part of his life, is no longer a part of mine. These days, i tell myself that i don't need his love anymore, I'll find someone even better if i just have patience. But it never happens, it's been so long. And the tears still fall, bitter yet sweet, for the love of my life. He was my rai of hope, and if he finds this comment, I'm sorry.
