Humans are psychologically wired to each other. It’s why we’re are so successful as a species. We need positive feedback from others in our daily communication with others. Our narc culture is constantly reflecting negatively- so it’s difficult in our collapsing society. These times call for a lot of positive self talk and reality checks.

Whats scary also, is that Narcissists will disrespect you ~ You try to ignore it and not let it get to you ~ so what happens is, when you least expect it ~ you take out your anger later, on a innocent person who just might have slightly without realizing, disrespected you. Your subconscious kicks in and says " Ive been taking ignoring, gaslighting, and subtle remarks all day long and acted like it didn't get to me " Now your going to GET IT!! And you find yourself screaming at a poor lady who didn't mean to bump your carriage in the supermarket ~ THIS IS HOW these evil narcissists destroy our lives.

I have been doing some inner child work and I went to when I was 4 years old. An unknown dog showed up barking and my sister and brother climbed a fence (4 and 2 years older than I). They were the first to climb and I had vertigo. I was half way on the fence scared of the dog jumping trying to reach me but unable to climb higher while my siblings were laughing at me for being so coward. My adult self had to point to my inner child my "brave siblings" were the first ones to run and climb (I was probably mimicking them and fear is contagious). That kind of humiliation and projection get stuck in your mind and you think you are a coward instead of thinking you are protecting yourself of a possible danger (the dog probably just wanted to play, it was abandoned). Those recordings along our childhood really mess up our true perception of ourselves.

I can relate a lot to this. Especially about repeating what they said to me and internalise it. It can be much more difficult when your mum does it. They called me an alcoholic and because I didn’t understand these things back then I gave up and let it define me. Now I’m focusing on healing and radiating positive energy. And I still enjoy a few ciders.

But i was a very small child and she told everyone im an actress. i look back on family pictures and i can tell you whos hands come from the bruises all over my small body at 2 and 3 years old. How did no one else see this? so i really had no one and no help

I have been trapped in this cycle for a long time. I have toxic shame and emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression........and it all sabotages my interactions with people (on my bad days), I can feel my crippled state but push through it to try to relate and be normal, but I can tell when someone doesnt "buy it" and it compounds my shame, because I feel like Im acting and have been caught not being genuine. I remember feeling like an actor at home, around my parents, it was like I was always giving a performance of myself, rather than just being myself. This I think stems from conditional love from the narcissistic parent, it is designed to get the child to adapt itself to the mothers preferences of behavior, or be shunned or rejected, physically hit, verbal abuse, showed displeasure, punished etc (well beyond healthy behavioral discipline in a normal parent / child dynamic). Since I had to compromise my natural self so much in order to survive and be accepted by my mother, I essentially lost or forgot my authentic self. So we become lost and awkward, dysfunctional and confused, deeply traumatized, obviously. Then in order to survive again we have to face the adult world in order to earn money. They say narcissistic abuse often leads to varying degrees of Agoraphobia, I can relate, I have self-diagnosed myself with avoidant personality disorder.

I'm growing more aware of how my confidence, competence, sexual feeling, and intake of real-time sensory information in my gut (solar plexus) is rewired to act against me with self-hate and shrinking. There are increasing bouts of openness to new experience and confidence in the face of it, and the awareness of a recoil and an immediate, almost stroke-like shutting down (left side of face drops). Man were my parents cruel at times, it really does feel like a minute to minute struggle to stay fully awake and aware. I have faith healing can happen.

If one party in a relationship says, "I hate myself, and you made me this way", who's the actual narcissist? By that I mean narcissists take no ownership for their shortcomings, and consequently how they fell about themselves, preferring to blame others. If you continually foil a narcissist's head games (especially a covert one), she's likely to rage out and blame you.
@thankyoujesus2836 Жыл бұрын
Are you saying the victim who’s saying that is the narc? I mean narcissists don’t really let you be, they break you so If you as the victim don’t break them or keep them in their place first they come after you so you have to dominate them. But yes they are good at twisting shit and blaming and projecting.
@LPD15ponce Жыл бұрын
In answer to your question, yes, especially near the end of the relationship. They are highly emotional dependent people. Their unresolved insecurity, combined with their keen sense of guilefulness, could very well sense the "supply's" confusion, self-doubt, and even at the extreme, self-hatred, and be projected, as you suggest.@@thankyoujesus2836

Therefore I just refuse to speak to her. I will walk away and she will typically follow to continue to apply pressure and make the fight worse to cause a blow up. What do I do?

We all have narcissistic traits, but NPD is different. NPD is also different from sociopathy. Sociopathy is an unofficial term for antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), a mental health condition that involves a long-standing pattern of disregard for social norms and the rights of other people. Narcissism refers to narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), a mental health condition that involves grandiose attitudes and behaviors, feelings of superiority and self-importance, and an extreme need for admiration.
@user-zy8gk2nn7d Жыл бұрын
covert narc is a sociopath so exactly abuse is the same. narcs are developing in their abuse so with time they get more and more sadistic - those subanimals reach level of psychopathy later on - it depends if they can be held accountable or not.
