You know...this friend constantly complains about her husband. Very reactive. It is always his fault. Well, I've known the guy since we were all teenagers. I started to think, "Hey, maybe it's her!" because he just doesn't seem like a monster type guy.
I mean how can he be wrong 100% of the time?
I am not intellectually confused about narcissism but on an emotional level I find being victimized by a narcissist just gut-wrenching.
Thank you for your supportive comments. It means more than I can express here.  (Love your Bob Marley quote!  ) |
It IS chilling. And it can be traumatizing dealing with a toxic narc. I had three ex narcissist boyfriends, and the ex friend I mentioned. You were definitely victimized. It's a horrible feeling, I know. It's like, how did I not see this? And then the moment you truly piece it all together, it's pretty shell shocking. The extent of the behaviors are shell shocking by themselves. They like empathic people, if you happen to be an empathic person. I am very much so. They also pick soft targets or people they think they can pull one over on and manipulate. I am a soft target, not saying you are since I don't know you at all. But I am, so I am speaking about myself there. Ugh. It may take some time to process it and to feel better about it. Stay strong, you are doing the right thing BY YOU. It will feel good to be rid of all that toxic waste!
And thanks about my quote.
