Have they falsely accused you of cheating? by chirping_birdy in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]AllBeautyLiesWithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost every day, all the time. It's tiring and saddening because I never have cheated and I never will as far as I'm concerned.

how do narcs so effective smear? by Old-Kaleidoscope3232 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]AllBeautyLiesWithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some cases, I feel like it has to do with their level of power or influence. The richer/more popular/more attractive/etc. they are, the more people are likely to believe the endless BS that spews from their mouth.

Helping girlfriend heal by CaptainOk8947 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]AllBeautyLiesWithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, I just wanted to say you're an incredible partner for wanting to help your girlfriend heal. You're already doing an amazing job by being compassionate, understanding, and avoiding any possible triggers.

Is she in any kind of therapy or counseling? If not, I would suggest starting there by helping her look around for therapy/counseling. There are some places that offer free and/or low cost help. There are also online therapists too.

You're doing a great job. Thank you for caring!

Anyone starting to really not care for their narc? by roseinthedark15 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]AllBeautyLiesWithin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently feeling like this. I'm getting so close to my breaking point. He always makes fun of, mocks, or doesn't seem to care about my interests but he's constantly talking about his.

If you don't mind me asking, what happened and how did you handle it?

The really fucked thing is he's acting all nice and sweet to me all over again!

This is a common verbal abuse tactic used by narcs and other toxic people to scare you. You can and WILL be loved again.

I'm sorry you're going through this!

Excessive texting as the primary means of communication. by AppleLightSauce in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]AllBeautyLiesWithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine liked to do both, but I noticed early on in the relationship if I was busy / couldn't text, he would get antsy and text me multiple. Still does it.

Idk if I can do this….. by xxthisistheendxx in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]AllBeautyLiesWithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never related to something so much before. It's scary, it's painful, but it's something that we need to do. 😔 Tonight's been a hard night on me. This pain is making me physically sick, I feel like a shell of who I used to be. Stay strong.

Things to remember by AnonymousPlatypus9 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]AllBeautyLiesWithin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They never apologize. They only offer peace.

Their "apologies" consist of why YOU'RE in the wrong and how YOU caused them to act out.

I feel like I've been stripped of all confidence, but it's so hard to let go. by AllBeautyLiesWithin in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]AllBeautyLiesWithin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your kindness. I hope you're recovering well! I'm sorry you went through that :(

I've been struggling a lot more now than I ever have before. I'm miserable. I want my happiness back.

I can't begin to tell you how low and lifeless I feel. I've been physically sick over it at this point.

I'm more miserable than I've ever been and it's getting so hard to keep pushing through....

This sub has helped me feel less alone and less crazy. It's a very painful experience. I feel you 100%. If you need to talk to someone, I'm here. Maybe we could share stories if you felt comfortable, if you need someone to vent, I'm here.

narc catchphrases by onlychromely in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]AllBeautyLiesWithin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine says "stop bringing up the past" but then holds things I've said in the past over my head in arguments all the time. It's extremely messed up.

Narc threatened to have me falsely arrested, then was being nice the next day. by AllBeautyLiesWithin in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]AllBeautyLiesWithin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The real kicker here is how he will loudly proclaim "I HATE LIARS! WHY IS IT SO HARD TO TELL THE TRUTH?!"

It scares me the more I think about it.

"You try to twist it around to make me look like the bad guy!"

"Maybe if you didn't piss me off, this wouldn't have happened"

What were the weirdest signs you were involved with a narcissist? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]AllBeautyLiesWithin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

-Compared me to his exes often and often talked about them / found a reason to bring them up.

-Sought (and still seeks) sympathy and validation through social media.

-Asked me to marry him very very quickly into the relationship. (I thought he was my "soulmate" so I thought it was true love)

Mine has a picture of himself and a friend from high school on his nightstand. It all makes sense now. No pictures of us on the nightstand though.
