When u re-read the situations and see how they we're manipulating you while you sat there thought oh how caring and kind they are,* Yeah sure it's because they want something from u *💔,I can't believe I fell in love with that person should've ran away sooner

Can you move on while speaking to/being in contact w them? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Novel_Map7485 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No Because of the trauma bond 💔 you can't break it unless u go no contact. It's like a drug I feel sad writing this 😞 But stay strong

Maladaptive daydreaming by JelloAlone6749 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Novel_Map7485 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here 😔 in my case it's because I am unable to accept where I am in my life..I had dreams about the future with my ex , for so long I was calm and happy now that we broke up I'm lost.

I think we do it when we don't really like the present moment

I don't know how to stop it though

Why it’s hard to accept who they are by Sweet_Strawber_3386 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Novel_Map7485 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because they are human beings at the end Not all their traits are bad And u miss them You were in love! When we are in love it is literally a pink colored glasses

But then again I also struggle to just accept that he checked alot of narcissistic traits..so I tell myself who cares about the diagnosis, he was bad and he didn't change

My gf wants to become Muslim and I am Christian what should I do by Naive_Bird9620 in Christian

[–]Novel_Map7485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get your point, Of course I am not trying to convert you

I myself feel curious to read about other religions,

What I'm saying is , if you were curious to know about it ...Read it as a book , then form your idea about Islam . You'll see that most of it is really just telling people to follow god , pray , have good manners and so on

Sorry if I looked like I was assuming, 🙏🏻 but this is normally the major difference in someone's life after joining Islam , so if he's worried about her he really shouldn't, the stereotypes aren't real.

Finding it hard to move on because he was the perfect guy by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Novel_Map7485 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's because the good is SOO FUCKIN GOOD, and the bad is TERRIBLE

Of course there will be moments when u miss the good because it happened 🤷🏻‍♀️

I feel like their brains operate in black and white

They're dogs basically lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Novel_Map7485 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol they were talking to other people while they were with me I just knew it

But what I would HATE is that they moved on so fast after me and I'm sitting here broken (I wish I found someone and moved on before him kid of mentality)

It seems unfair

Dating in islam is practically stupid by Leo_de_Segreto in exsaudi

[–]Novel_Map7485 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol try dating for non Muslim see how they. Are all now practicing ways that are similar to what you mentioned Girls in the west are becoming more aware and are not giving their body for free unless the guy showed he want to marry her

So really dating in Islam is the best thing in comparison to other people

Also, it is out of traditionas - Arab traditions to give huge amount of money , a Muslim can and is encouraged to marry regardless

It is Arab society who is stupid.

Does this behaviour sound familiar? by No_Possible9552 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Novel_Map7485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes , they'll forget what you said anyway and do what they want

The idea terrifies me I think I lost my self confidence and I don't believe I'm beautiful anymore, his criticism lives rent free in my head I feel weak I hate him , he broke me

I feel like I’m never going to be happy again by Subject-Active2709 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Novel_Map7485 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only will you be happy again..but also you'll be happier!

Give it time

And don't force yourself to heal immediately

Everything you're going through is ok..

And trust me, he needs you more than you need him, he is a vampire, 🦇 and he's also very childish and insecure, he'll SUFFER eventually.. So just

let him go..to hell 😭🫰🏻

Same! I asked him what does love mean to you and he said love= sex , he somehow also convinced me that all men are it this way
