#NARCISSISM

8 posts7 participants0 posts today

I never really understood narcissism until after so much abuse I became a master at detecting manipulation. After I realized they were all around me destroying my life I cut one off with a boundary. She responded with acting like I was the abuser. Can you imagine how disturbing that is? Maybe you just realized after reading this. You are not alone. I attached a gemini deep research document. Feel free to copy and paste it somewhere. #mentalhealth #mind #narcissism

This is #narcissism. It's terminal and cannot be changed. Narcissistic leaders always destroy 'their' country. Always.

"The clearly photoshopped MS-13 tattoo — it’s obviously not a tattoo. And yet Trump seems to genuinely believe that anyone he’s speaking with, including the broader American public, will simply go along with what he’s saying."

"A megalomaniac surrounded by sycophants & authoritarians:

Tarrio: thanked Trump on Sat for issuing a pardon that cut short the 22-yr prison term re Jan6.

“I run the country & the world” seems to rep a progression from #narcissism to #megalomania.

#Tariffs: one way -he believes will enable him to run the world -they don’t have to do bus w the US.

What an image: The US as Trump’s dept store -he sets the prices -a pic of untrammeled power +MIL parade on Jun 14-."

The #grief that emerges in the aftermath of a #narcissisticRelationship falls under the umbrella of "disenfranchised grief". That is grief which isn't socially acknowledged as reasonable.

The sad reality is that navigating the grief of losing a relationship with a #narcissistic partner is really fucking difficult.

You're grieving a person that never existed. They were a facade produced by a psychological predator to devour you whole. This means you're grieving a person that is still alive while simultaneously never having existed. This is exacerbated when you are unable to go no contact and have to regularly face your abuser.

If you're wrestling with this: you have all my empathy. What helps me is understanding that I'm not really grieving the loss of the relationship but I'm grieving the loss of possibility and hope. I thought I found someone who shared my visions for a good life. I did not. I'm grieving the loss of that. Not the loss of my abuser.

You wanna pay back the #narcissist in your life? The biggest punishment for a narcissist is being ignored. Do not pay them attention of any kind. Don't let their reality impact yours or only as minimally as possible.

In the world of a narcissist only their reality matters. Your reality is by definition wrong and nothing you do can change that. Their actions are by definition just and good. But what if they do something that's clearly cruel and harmful?

Remember the narcissistic prayer? That. They change their reality so that their actions are now again just and good. And if that means that they have to throw you under the bus they'll not hesitate to do so. They will literally construct false realities in which you are the most vile human being to have ever walked the earth, all in a (largely unconscious!) effort to turn them into a victim who didn't have another choice but to harm you deeply.

Don't let their reality become your reality. Ignore them.

Brilliant article on bullies like Trump. This same principle applies to their 'jokes.' Sociopaths don't really joke, so any time they appear to be, they're actually testing.

"bullies tend to operate on a sliding scale of permission. They start by pretending to do a thing to see how pretending goes for them before actually doing it, and if they don’t get opposed for issuing threats, then they understand that to be permission"
