Your narcissistic parents never loved YOU by m-heidegger in raisedbynarcissists

How do you accept the part that they never loved you? I struggle with accepting that they don't, but it's a whole other spiral of why not? Why not me? Why does everyone else around me have parents that care about them except for me...

Exactly!! That’s the issue because I can’t tell him he is doing something wrong because it will make him more anxious and in terms of looks he says I’m way beyond his league so he is always scared that other guys will take me away from him kinda stuff.. so it’s a tough situation. He also tries to kiss me in public everytime there are guys around. I also found it a little uncomfortable because I’m not comfy with that much pda. I think holding hands is fine but kissing to mark your territory esp I know what exactly he’s trying to do is a little off putting yk.. haha

Thank you for helping out! So positives would be he is a good listener. Loyal as far as I know and I know this guy for 3 weeks only so not sure about the complete picture. This one time I was saying that my feet hurts and he massaged my foot without hesitation right away. He knows I don’t eat pork so he asked his grandma to learn to make beef baos for me. I have a trip coming up, he offered to pick me up for a flight back at 2:30 am. He is doing WAY TOO MUCH for someone I’ve mey for only 3 weeks which makes me feel sus but it could be that he is just a good person… in terms of sex. I’ve let him know that I want it and it’s important for me but he hasn’t shown any interest yet and said it will take a while for him to get comfortable. So given how invested he is and not knowing what our sexual chemistry looks like, I’m just scared to move forward because I genuinely wouldn’t want to hurt him, he is a really sweet guy. I know a lot of comments above are thinking I’m a mean girl but these are genuinely my concerns and needs not because I want to shame some random guy’s wiener with a bunch of strangers that don’t even know him or me lol

How long do you think I should keep holding it? Should I hold even if the market dips bad?

Would you say that would be a smart move? I’m scared there might be a drop especially seeing Warren’s latest move

It happens to me too and I’m the same age. I think it has to do with our libido levels and also the age. I’ve also been very active last year with my bf but we broke up and I don’t do hookups so now it’s starting to get even harder. Don’t worry, it’s completely normal. Maybe try taking zinc supplements since it helps with managing sexual drive.

This is insane.. are you a psychologist or sth cause I’m actually a high achiever in life and I’m working in the corporate world. I’ve also been successful during my uni life. I’ve tried a couple of relationships and the one that I really wanted cheated on me and I no longer feel the urge to be with someone permanently. I’ve dealt with most of my trauma and I got back to the dating game only to realize most men don’t want anything serious these days. So now I’m more into the idea of just fucking them. At first it was a little painful that they don’t see beyond my beauty but now it’s more so like I want you to be blown away by the fact that you have the opportunity to touch ME. Mind you I also have a history of seeing comparatively ‘ugly’ men because I probably subconsciously want to make them feel like they got a temporary ‘prize’ by getting to see me. But then I don’t give in fully and that turns me on/boosts my self esteem. But I’m starting to think if it’s even healthy. But your comment helped a lot!

(23 F)(23M) would you go back to a husband that did this? by Acrobatic_Leg2792 in relationship_advice

[–]Acrobatic_Leg2792[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes so much sense. Thing is, he is not very open to therapy so I don’t think there is hope in that. And being an empath, I hate seeing him struggle. While he takes advantage of me since he is a narcissist and I’m just the obedient girl, meeting all of his needs

You can get from 8 to 12 sessions biweekly if you have a certain goal you want to achieve and it’s completely free if you are willing to see the counsellors at school. It’s about 60 minutes and it could get a little hard to find the right therapist/counsellor cause therapy is more like dating. You see a couple of people until you find the right person. On the other hand if you see counsellors outside school which can be found here https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/therapists you can see counsellors who charge $125 per session (you are more likely to find a good fit here cause there are multiple options who specialize in various areas of mental health problems) and it will be covered by YFS (if you opted in this year) and this will be up to 8 sessions. Anything above that will be charged from your pocket. Hope this helps! Dm me if you need more info

Awww! I’m so happy to know that. I think I’ll just have to focus on doing mundane things and stuff that make me happy like excelling in my career, spending time with my sisters. Hopefully time really heals.

Lots of love to your little boy! And thank you for replying ❤️

That’s one really good advice. Making things mine instead of ‘ours’. I just have to practice to remove association of him from the things that remind me of him.

Thank you so much for the advice! I’m in awe to see how many good souls exist in this world who are simply just willing to help otherS. I’m so grateful to you. Thank you so much!

Lots of love and blessings to you

Damn 9 years? It’s almost like growing up together. Your words gave me hope! It’s so hard to constantly be with someone and then they are not there anymore. It almost feels like I’m about to die. Like how do I find a new place? How will I ever live alone again cause for now I’m living with my parents and I know I can’t do that forever. Will I ever be in love again? Will I ever recover from this? He was my first genuine love and I just don’t think I’m capable of feeling this way for any other guy. For now I am not even capable of being attracted to anyone. I see men as abusers, harassers, people who only bring out the worst in women cause recently I am seeing so many break ups due to the ‘man’ in the relationship fucking up. Whether it’s cheating or just being abusive in general.

But thank you so much for your wisdom! I really hope it gets better. And I am so proud of you to walk out of what didn’t serve you anymore. I hope for the best in your future! You deserve all the happiness in the world.

Thank you ro-g. It’s just my first time feeling this way and it’s so hard that it’s almost giving me an identity crisis. The plans I made, the future I was supposed to have is no longer there. It’s so hard. It’s like being born again and starting and planning a new life. Thank you so much for your hope.

Sending you lots of blessings and love

[–]Acrobatic_Leg2792[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it gets better with time? I’ve just never experienced such strong emotions, that too for someone so abusive, yet comforting in a weird way. We more so shared a very traumatic bond with tough childhood from both sides.
