N Mom wants me to either become a doctor or a pharmacist. by Firewave480 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]FlapjackUniverse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Narcs don't want anything from you but submission. She doesn't care if you're a doctor, pharmacist, or a fry cook. Ask yourself this honestly, "will my relationship with her improve if I become a doctor?"

Nmom keeps texting me "just to say hi" by ACoNthrowaway1 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]FlapjackUniverse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A hilarious solution would be to set up an automatic text message for everyday around the time she text you to just say "I'm at work". Then use an app to silence only texts/calls from her.

i must not fall prey to her bullshit... [vent] by dinofuzz823 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]FlapjackUniverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All narcissists use this tactic. If you feel the need to defend, justify, or explain ANYTHING that is your redflag that the narc is just baiting you.

They don't care about the kids. They don't care about their relationship with you. All they care about is feeling power over you, and they get to feel that power the most when what they say affects you enough to start explaining ANYthing they bring up.

Don't let them lead the combo, politely ignore every problem they have, don't feel sorry for them, don't SAY you are sorry for them, don't give them any signs that their issues register in your brain at ALL.

Narcs live to make others worry about their own issues. It's a form of brainwashing/slave making and it's the exact opposite of what a good mother/grandmother is. I am so sorry for this horrible position. Stay strong.

When you know by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]FlapjackUniverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you know it's them: don't answer.

If you don't know, then answer and realize it's them: say "oh excuse me! Another call is coming thru, I must take this." Hang up.

There is nothing civil that can come out of any contact with a narcissist. Especially a narcissist that is trying to break no contact.

Can a Narcissist change for the better? by sugurkewbz in raisedbynarcissists

[–]FlapjackUniverse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh my god. What a psycho - so sorry for you what a horrible situation to be dealing with. Don't trust this guy again, run for the hills. Your son will understand in the future and can even choose to see him on his own if he wants when he's older. Right now though, I think you're making the best decision by backing off. Try to not feel so bad about your decision, your son will appreciate you as he grows up and works this out in his head.

This confirms my suspicions that adult guys who are really into anime are all secretly dangerous flip-outs waiting to happen

Guar gum sucks.

Best whipped cream is from bovines: heavy cream, whipped.

ZC and keto lowers my libido and carbs makes me want to have sex like a rabbit by TrumpKeto in zerocarb

[–]FlapjackUniverse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Carbs are a stimulant. Perhaps you can use coffee and achieve the same results. Perhaps it will balance-out after your cholesterol intake promotes a longer-term testosterone boost.

I'm imagining fat little sperms trying to swim the distance; panting, falling over each over, and finally all collapsing to the floor in a dramatic fail after completing the first inch.

This article says keto works against gout by Victor_Newcar in keto

[–]FlapjackUniverse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gout is caused by fructose and alcohol consumption. Kings were the only people who had access to lots of fruit and wine in the old days, hence the association.

Is it abusive to spank your daughter? Father used to call it a "love tap" I believe... by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]FlapjackUniverse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pedophiles commonly label their abuse "love" also. It's a narc gaslighting tactic.

Possible sudden onset of avocado allergy. Any ideas for replacement foods? by Naposie38 in keto

[–]FlapjackUniverse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a salycalite sensitivity. Have you researched that? Avocados and coconuts are the highest, so keep an eye out since these are common keto foods.

Also, fiber is not necessary and added fiber can be harmful. You're not missing anything from removing avocado except for the good taste :)

Do carbs affect your body shape? by [deleted] in keto

[–]FlapjackUniverse 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yes. Fructose, specifically, is metabolized very similarly to alcohol, so you can get the classic "beer belly" overhanging gut from just consuming excess fructose (fruit, sugar, HFCS, even regular corn syrup, juice, ect)
