On second thought, my past patterns make me NOT trust myself. That's is where I'm stuck. Raised in a abusive narc home with bpd narc mother and sociopath father and older sister. As the empath, sensitive one in the family, I was conditioned to overlook bad behavior. I subconsciously picked these toxic partners and friends. They are all gone and the great awakening is happening here, lots of healing. However, when I really reflect on the past patterns it becomes obvious and overwhelming. I'd rather be alone than ever enter another narc relationship. It's the most draining thing. Taking my life back, finding peace. Can't risk losing it. But thinking deeper, I've done sooooo much research on these personality disorders, I can spot them fairly quickly in people now. Maybe I can trust myself at this stage.

Yup, if you feel you have to control situations to prevent the person from betraying you. You already know they're not trustworthy

[@donnietobasco9791]

@@aurora8749 OR....that "you" may have unresolved trust issues from a former relationship. Either one can be true, or they may both be true at the same time. Unjustified suspicions and controlling behaviour can kill a relationship just as easily as any "real" act of infidelity can. So believing that just because you "feel" insecure about somebody's behaviour means that they're actually guilty of what you're feeling....is not really great advice. This feeling alone will destroy the relationship, whether its justified or not. In the final post-mortem however, it could actually be YOU that brought harmful feelings to the relationship and made its lack of success inevitable. That's why it's important to always link ones "feelings" to the reality of each current relationship, and not to bring baggage with you. The person you're with now should never be made to suffer because of the actions of the person you were with beforehand. Not least of all because the person you're currently with will sense this and become repelled by the emotional injustice of it. They'll probably bail on you and tell you that you were obviously not ready for a "new" relationship....and whatsmore.....they'll be right!!

[@vincianothenighater]

@@donnietobasco9791 I like the the way you think and explain it…any books you’d recommend on this topic?

[@RICHARDGRANNON]

Honestly, if they don’t make you feel safe you should just walk away. I know it’s easier said than done.

[@ssmith5127]

Yes, it really is easier said than done. It's horrible when you know you are not safe. Especially when you're not safe emotionally as opposed to not safe physically. Being not safe physically seems sooo urgent to me. Being not safe emotionally allows for discussion, a second attempt. Perhaps even a third. Perhaps even a need to consider that your view isn't the only possible viewpoint. It can be a well meaning downward slide that happens because you are trying to be understanding of another person. And compared to the upheaval of deciding who gets which pet, who leaves the established home, what happens with the children, family, friends, holidays, etc. It can seem that being unsafe emotionally is equally as traumatizing as the upheaval required to end the abuse. And then there is the concern that it could all happen again in a future relationship. Definitely not an easy deck of cards to shuffle through. I admire those who manage to make the difficult choices, learn the needed lessons and successfully build a good life going forward. They really are their own heroes.

[@AliValentine143]

[@daviedood2503]

@cyborg1320 this is because toxic "unavailable" men keep their mind CONSTANTLY engaged on what the hell he's doin and up to. If he does what he says he's gonna do, that man apparently becomes BORING. "HEY I'm gonna run to the gas station real quick ill BRB. U want anything?" Women already calculate how long it takes to get there (10 min) and how long it takes to get back (10 min again) and calculate how long it'll take u to get snacks how long it'll take u to stand in line (say another 10 mins) so in 30 to 35 mins 40 max you should be back. If this happens CONSTANTLY, she's got u figured out and u lost mystery. The suggestion is to stay out LONGER than normal. Drive slower etc, so it takes longer for you to get home. This FORCES her to automatically WONDER about you. "damn what's taking him so long.. It's been 45 mins just to goto the gas station.. He ain't out w no chck is he.. I saw that girl at the counter lookin at him last time" And there some of them can go. Mystery happening. Now THIS constantly happening has her mind on him a LOT. his phone beep, now you're wondering, now it don't beep, now you're wondering if he told someone NOT to txt. Etc playing on their insecurities to keep them engaged with you so you don't become boring. Once they figure u out they leave. To me personally this is so dumb. Why are u gonna be set on the edge of ur seat like that, or constantly wondering who they talkin to when a txt comes in etc. Who they flirting with, smiling at, getting numbers from. I'm 38, I ain't tryin to go through all that mess. If me doing what I say I do make me boring, then so be it then. Imma BORING @ss dood then. 😂 Atleast you know I can keep my word on small stuff so of course imma keep my word on bigger stuff. It's frustrating bc after 13 yrs she say "it's bc were too comfortable" Like WHO wants to be uncomfortable with a person.. You go thriugh uncomfortable phases to BECOME comfortable with them. Means you can TRUST THEM. Or u suppose to.. If that makes me a weird one, then hell, I'm just WEIRD then. 😂

“Your job first and foremost is to take care of YOU. That’s your number one job in the world.” - I began to cry when I heard these words. After a lifetime of thinking that the main reason you are lovable is just because you are always taking care of others, giving and serving…it can be so hard to feel like It’s actually okay to put yourself first. It can feel so painful to put your needs ahead of others, because you feel so much fear they will no longer love you. Being giving and nurturing is NOT the only thing that makes you worthwhile or valuable in a relationship - you are a beautiful masterpiece, flaws and all! Love yourself, live the life you deserve!

[@peacefuljustice4801]

Unity Nada ...you are so right, it is that hit if validation and kindness that triggers are emotion ms and covers the red flags, we are so used up by giving all the time and missing the most important peice ..to give unto yourself .. and that is so difficult because it is such a mindshift if you always lead with your heart. We are taught to believe that us selfish so we now down and carer whilst denying ourselves full expression. You need to power up, turn on your own light switch of safety and protection from within and can only do this by putting yourself first (like walking through fire) loveinf yourself, protecting yourself, setting and honoring boundaries fir yourself and take down the wall that you've build and except gifts from nit only yourself but from others. Goodness shines its light through the dark spaces, it also empowers you against the silent sadistic personalities that play on your vulnerability and kindness but also key into the masochistic tendencies we've been engaging in on ourselves. Rule be kinder to yourself than to the other, your strength 💪 is needed gir service in God's work.

He just got defensive in his last message and thats where it ended.

I just want to say one little thing that happened recently with me and my new partner. My weapon is going cold on someone, try as I might, my affection disappears, it's like I become repelled from the person and I physically distance myself from them and I wont look at them as much. My partner noticing this reaction, didn't say anything, he continued to make dinner, he poured me a glass of wine, he let me watch TV in silence while he cooked. And then when I came into the kitchen we just stared meaningfully at each other and he knew something was wrong and he gently pushed my hair behind my ear and said quietly "Are you mad at me? Did I do something to upset you?". It completely changed how I felt, I instantly wanted to tell him everything I was feeling. I am so used to men being defensive and passive aggressive, this was the best thing he could have done. I am so proud of him and his intuitive reaction to my weapon.

[@bloowhalez]

Still this is basically asking men to be mind readers. Just be forward and honest, because what YOU we're doing is also passive aggressive.

[@DiamondsRexpensive]

My experience of red flags is something akin to this: he insults you. He cuts you off when you speak. He rolls his eyes at you when you speak. He treats you like a servant. He's excessively self centered. He's sexually selfish. He's easily angered. He treats you like property but not a person (even early on). He tries to sabotage your efforts to be self sufficient and to meet other people. He doesn't say yes or no but always maybe yet expects you to wait for him in case it's suddenly "yes". If you have other plans he tries to sabotage. He talks about himself constantly. He doesn't listen to you. He brags. He doesn't accept a no from you. He changes plans constantly. He talks very negatively about people. He's not concerned with your safety, wellbeing or happiness. I mean these are even early red flags, 2 days in or so.

I have a degree in psychology and not only did I do case studies. I was in a very vulnerable state in my life when I met a true narcissist, which I refused to see all the signs. I was with him for five years and it was too late to get out before I was completely destroyed internally. Everything Matthew described I experienced and I’m still working on healing/recovering from that relationship almost a year later, which has been the worst thing I’ve ever experienced. I can write a book on his behavior and how it impacted me, from confident and happy, to doubting myself in every aspect, feeling humiliated, unhappy, sad, and worthless. I had to get my own therapist before leaving him and he even controlled my sessions by making me tell him everything was talked about in my session. He got angry when I said he was brought up in my sessions. I still see my therapist and do plenty of meditation. Please, don’t ignore the signs and run!

Communication is everything. I just got out of a long relationship with someone who kept things to himself until something triggered him to blow up. He would hold resentment instead of talking things out and trying to find a solution. I'd pour my heart out to him and tell him what I'm feeling and trying to be on the same page, and he would completely shut down and avoid conversation. He was bad alcoholic and was dishonest frequently. Being physically alone is just the same as being with a partner who doesn't reciprocate emotionally. I'm glad to be done with the toxicity.

I walked away when I still cared and liked him. I thought this would make me feel bad but it made me learn about myself and how to deal with my bad tendencies and it solidified that I really made the right decision. It was a bad situation with the lots of the tendencies that we both had that they mentioned which meant that we would’ve never worked out because both of us weren’t healed and we didn’t want to work on our problems for ourselves and each other. We also didn’t really match in what we wanted from each other and could or was willing to give each other. So both of toxic tendencies and incompatibility combined just lead to the inevitable breakup. Im still glad I did try it with him cause I learned about myself and relationships. Now I can work on them and heal to become a better person for myself and the next person I’m gonna be with. And now I know what to do next time- what to watch out for, how to proceed in a relationship properly through stages, what I want/don’t want and what I can tolerate or not. Thank you for the lessons and the insight. I can only hope to internalize it and put it into action.

He wasn’t just any other sales man coach to get a product across and walk away on passive income. Great things come when you follow through the journey of your passions rather than just saying good enough I’m making the dollar. I love it!

Why is this not viral! Implementing the things talked about here has DRASTICALLY improved how I communicate with everyone around me. I thought i was the only one who thought this way

Pretty clear on Job #1. I think it's easier to accept the crumbs left behind than to stand our ground . To look at the long term gain of a breakup vs short term temptation.

Compromise has been my downfall over & over again. It has caused me to Compromise my core values & lower my standards to theirs. Every single time.

Look for an amazing friend, first, whom you have amazing, if not effortless conversations with, and these people will be less likely to want to compromise your core beliefs. From there, be friendly and feminine like Kenzie from Life Uncontained. Provide a good friendship, good meal, and good lay on his internal clock, and you two will go far.

The last statement of “I know I’ll be ok,” resonates loudly if you stay aware, reflect, let go, change & try again. Great interview.

So glad you thought so! 👏❤️

2 gems really stuck out to me: you don’t have to trust they’ll never betray you because you know for sure. - You trust *yourself* that you are stronger and wiser now and you can handle it if betrayal happens, and you’re strong enough to walk away when it’s time. - You trust because that is your standard for the kind of relationship and experience you want to have.

I feel like crying listening to this, I wish I heard this before. Why people don't appreciate open and honest communication right from the start of getting acquainted?

When he said on the first date and the other person is saying oh I think your so great and so on when they don't know you bc I just went through the same situation where the other person was sitting there telling me how beautiful I was how wonderful and great he thought I was and he didn't even barely know me and it ended up being a very bad relationship he ended up hurting me so that is definitely a red sign when on the first date they tell you how great you are and they don't even know you.
