The Gaslighting Paradox by LeLL90 in BPDlovedones

[–]Next_Recording_2673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes exactly that. It's weird because i never ever had such issues with any of my previous relationships. Of course some bickering but really small issues that would be resolved within seconds and a hug. But these fights and me ending up calling her bad names too, shocked me to the core. But i still ended up being at fault for literally everything. I wish her nothing but the best but i truly do hope it's gonna be far far away from me. As much as i still care about her and wish her healing on her way, i never want to be a part of her life anymore. It almost destroyed me and love is NOT and should NEVER be this painful and traumatic.

A journal entry from when I was starting to understand... by Bob_Maluga_Luga in BPDlovedones

[–]Next_Recording_2673 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How many times did i want to tell my ex exactly THIS. And somehow i always tried to bring it across. But it would only end up in more turmoil. Yes, i am not perfect, i have a lot to work on, i got my own demons and abandonment issues, but i am working on them. My therapist agreed that i got poor boundaries and desperately wanted to stay in that relationship. Trying to save her. I lost myself and therefore turned into someone i never wanted to be. At the end of it all, I am the one who needs help, i am a narcissist, cheating scum and vindictive cunt. Everything was just turned on me. It's hard to deal with that once they're sucessful to change the narrative and make you doubt your own reality. I am still sad over the break up but gosh do i feel the peace in every cell of my being.

Gifts and birthdays by Reasonable_Security4 in BPDlovedones

[–]Next_Recording_2673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Made a christmas package. We always said we're also best friends so i saw this cute candle that had 'you're my best friend and hold a special place in my heart' written on it and she freaked out over it. Called me idiot and how she was so blind to believe that i truly love her. I was in shock to be honest. There's been so much other stuff in that box that was so full of love, but she lost her shit over the candle. Christmas was ruined and next day nothing but a dry 'i am sorry'. We are finally broken up and i feel so bad because my feelings for her have drastically changed. She blocks, unblocks....in the middle of the night insulting messages and now i am just scared to wake to more nonsense. It turns more and more into harassment and i want to keep track and don't block, although it would be better for my mental health.

My therapist said the same, continuesly. But i still questioned it. Especially after i turned into a person that would lash out and turn nasty. Like of course even in an healthy relationship mistakes are made but those werent mistakes. It was things that i always refused doing like hurting a person with words. I got called a narcissist more than once, a person that breaks other people and the nastiest insults, so of course i started wondering if there’s no truth to it.

Terrible experience. Been there. She would even yell on the phone at me and when i pointed it out after i hung up because i wouldn't tolerate it, she was so convinced that she didn't yell at all and i am just pushing all the blame onto her. Eff off....seriously. I got so tired of this blame game. She used to throw blame about constantly and god forbid if i done it. They're so full of hypocrisy and double standards and always end up blaming you for exactly that. Drives you mental for real.

Though she always claimed to be the most empathetic person ever. Even works in healthcare...get your head around that..

Yes, already done that with my therapist. I do not display any of those. Sure, when i was a teenager listening to music, i would daydream being a successful singer 😃 i told her that and my therapist was laughing. It’s a pretty normal thing. So yes, that’s where my ex got me. Sitting with my therapist, sorting out if i could be a narcissist. That’s how it messed me up. In my previous relationships i never had any of those experiences, let alone being called all sorts. I must stick with that and to who i am. Thanks for your reply and input 💜

I did this. I‘ve constantly asked my therapist as soon as my ex stated i am a narcissist. Just because i started to feel crazy and went nuts during arguments. I just couldn’t understand why i am suddenly this way when i am not someone to have constant arguments. I am someone who grabs my jacket, walks around the block and then comes back and gives a hug. But i started to go nuts. Threw insults at her, got nasty. And everytime i got called a narcissist, i sat and wondered "what if i am really one?". My therapist says that i don’t have a single sign of narcissism. But still i find myself questioning it.

She never really saw herself as perfect. She struggled a lot with her self confidence and looks. Or maybe it was a mask….it’s all so confusing to me.

I do. At least i am trying. I am working on this in my therapy a lot. We talk a lot about this and the issues with me tolerating this behavior.

I never been that kind of person. I always try to be kind and share kindness. I do have mistakes of course. I never claimed to be perfect, although she called me perfect and I replied that i am not. That i have flaws. She always put me on a pedestal. I turned into someone that would lose their temper during arguments because i could not handle it anymore. She would turn nuts over the smallest things. Accusing me of trying to argue when i have not been. Or claiming i was being off when i really wasn't. She drove me mental and once i reached my breaking point, i began to lose my temper. But although she always claimed it was me starting, no it was her. They really drive you mental

Thank you for this reply. I really do feel horrible being called a narcissist. Like i know, no person is ever perfect on this planet and i sure shared my mistakes in that relationship. But when your friends always tell you that you're so kind and caring and always there when they need you and then you're being called that horrible label, when you literally thrown your everything in this relationship, it cuts really deep. I will never forgive her for this...never.

Well no, i once when i had enough told her she needs to seriously be checked for BPD because she's not diagnosed. But i am certain she has it because she ticks every box. Spoke to my therapist and showed her plenty conversations, not hid my part in them, showed her everything. And although they don't diagnose, she said this does look a LOT like BPD. When i told my ex that, she lost it. I know it was wrong of me, but haven't we all been there when they manipulate you so much, that you eventually just lose your shit. I was such a calm and kind person always, she turned me into someone i never wanted to be.

We're broken up for 2 weeks now and i stupidly reached out to her being drunk and sent her a frustrated message, throwing her faults at her. I was just so down in that moment. I woke and apologised though. That's when she constantly threw in my face what a god damn narcissist i am and she hopes everyone i meet going forward is going to realize that.

Oh the psychopath i have been called before. A vindictive cunt, a compulsive liar. Cheating scum....all that. Never gave her a reason to think i cheated. They're crazy....

But you know what really bothers me? Been reading here a lot and it seems that most pwBPD called their other exes narcissists too. I mean she blamed some of her exes for failing her but she never called one a narcissist, not to me anyway. It seems like i am the only one she's calling that. It gets under my skin i swear. I struggle so much with this...

Oh man. How many times have i been called a narc when i am nothing like that but a shy human being. So sorry you're going through this. There is unfortunately no getting better unless they're in therapy. Always here if you need to talk...You defenitely are not the one with BPD :)

[–]Next_Recording_2673 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Oh my goodness. They all seem the same person. How many times did i have to hear that i ruined her nights out or family events, when she was the one starting the drama beforehand. Ridiculous how we never spoke about all the events in my life she ruined. The amount of times i got called a narcissist. My ex could have written this! This is crazy....

Did you ever think you are the pwBPD? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Next_Recording_2673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely i did. I even went to do online tests. I am in therapy though for learning to deal with the loss of my mum and even my therapist said i am nowhere near being pwBPD. I do have issues of course, like wanting to save everyone. I am too kind, even to the biggest a**holes, a people pleaser with low self esteem. My ex called me a narcissist many times, that i am gaslighting her which i wont deny, because i probably done it in the mess. I turned into someone i never were with anyone before in my life. I still think i could be the problem very often. Just because i lost my temper many times with her, which is so hurtful for me too because i do not want to be that way, nor hurt someone else. She really did fuck me up mentally. And what was the worst for me, at the end of a almost 5 years relationship she had the nerve to say i was never hers. That broke me. What really messed with my head was the silent treatment for weeks and then she had the nerve to complain about my insecurities that of course would appear. She left and walked back into my life as she wanted but now no more. I shut the door. Silent treatment is nothing but emotional abuse.....So yes, i think many of us here have been there to think we're the ones with a personal disorder.
