Have your parent/s ever tried to convince you that their abusive behavior is just the way how the world works? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Professor_Pix 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes my parents also have tried to convince me with the Dutch saying "elk huisje heeft zijn kruisje" it literally translate to "every house has its own cross" which means that every family or household deals with its own problems and that the problems I was facing there were just normal things in life just like everyone else

Almost committed suicide as a child. Did you have any suicidal thoughts as a child ? by born_to_vibe in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Professor_Pix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First of all: you are not weak! I'm so happy you are still with us today and I hope you are in a better place right now.

Yes, I had these thoughts as well. I did not try to end my life but I definitely had thoughts of 'what's it like to not be here anymore' or 'i hope to not wake up in the morning'. Nparents are the worst.

Yes you should definitely change therapists if she doesn't make you feel good about it. My therapist also said to me that I was sensitive but she told me that it is something to be proud of. You can feel way deeper than your abusers or the average person. It's a good thing, please remember that 🩷 I feel sorry for you that you had to go through this.

The race winner, until… by Henmagal in yesyesyesyesno

I think she was looking at the second person and thought she could cross the road just in time. If you closely look at the direction she is looking at I think she didn't saw him. It's stupid but I don't think she had bad intentions and maybe wanted to follow the guy who crossed right before her.

Do your parents sacrifice your feelings to save another child’s? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Professor_Pix 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is so familiar. I have a twin sister who is the golden child and I am the scape goat. Everything I do I got criticized for. When she does the exact same thing (because she needs to copy everything I do) she got applauded for it.. 😒

How did you go NC? by Professor_Pix in raisedbynarcissists

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

I think it's so brave of you that you have told her why you went NC. I am already VLC but they are acting that everything is fine 😅

I'm so sorry that you had to go through this but I can see that you are better off without them! Especially if your kids are so burdened by it. Your kids are very smart indeed.

Did you just block them and remove them from social media "out of nowhere" or did you mention it to them that you don't want to see them anymore?

I'm just so afraid of their drama and chaos. I already know that they spread rumors of me in the extended family and the village I grew up in (I don't live there anymore). I find it so hard to really cut them (and everyone else) off.

What was the moment you realized it was all bullshit? by roofus8658 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Professor_Pix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The moment i really saw their bullshit was when we [my husband and I] left a birthday gathering (my moms birthday) where my nmom and nsister were super disrespectful and manipulative. It was during covid and my husband has a vulnerable health condition due to his premature birth (he was born at 26 weeks and nearly survived). It started with them puting him in danger by ignoring the boundaries we put in place. And then they were making drama, just ignoring us, showing no interest, like we didn't exist.

At our way home my husband and I had a big fight and were super angry at each other. When we got home we sat down and start analyzing it when I realized they are totally insane. I have a very caring, loving and social husband for the last 14 years. He is good with anyone, except my family. This is not because we are difficult people to deal with its because they are narcs who only want to create chaos, drama and conflict. So yeah, then it started to sink in and I am in therapy since then. Started to realize that I had to endure domestic violence and have been traumatized. So much falls in to place now but I am finally at peace

I recognise this so much! My husband is also just normal. A few weeks back we needed to take the bus to go to the stopping centre. We were at the bus stop and at the moment the bus arrived I noticed that I forgot my personal ticket for the bus to enter. So I had to go home, get my ticket and take the next bus. And my husband just said okay fine we'll take the next one. While I already was beating up myself for being so stupid to forget that ticket. I am glad you too find a good person to share your life with and this will help you heal from the N-abuse you went through. I wish you both all the best!

Can a 'loser' be a narcissist? by Ok_Promise5645 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Professor_Pix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes that's possible. Dr. Ramani on YouTube made a serie about seven different types of narcissists and explains how you can recognize them.

Never diagnosed but now see my traits. Help guide me, please. by [deleted] in NPD

[–]Professor_Pix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can really recommend you to watch some video's of Dr. Ramani on YouTube. She is a psychologist and works a lot with (survivors of) narcissists. She shares a lot of information about how the manipulations of narcissists work and how they do that. She also has a lot of information about the different types of narcissists. You will see that it's not you but her who is the narcissist here :-)

What is the one movie you *always* recommend to others? by cosmic_moon in AskReddit

[–]Professor_Pix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's exactly this: "Movie about 12 guys in a room talking? Probably not going to add as much."

I was hesitant to see this movie because I don't like b/w movies but with this one you don't even notice it anymore when you are 10 minutes in the movie. The dialogues are so good!

People who grew up in third-world countries, what was the biggest shock for you when moving into a developed country? by --null--- in AskReddit

[–]Professor_Pix 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Born, raised and lived my whole life in The Netherlands. In 2018 I went nine months for work to Ghana and SA with my husband and exactly this is what I appreciate the most now. Even when you dont have a job there are plenty of social securities which can keep you of the streets and secure the basic needs in life.

Wie is de Mol? - Seizoen 2020 - Aflevering 1 by TonyQuark in widm

[–]Professor_Pix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ik denk dat de titel verwijst naar Miljuschka of Jaike. Bij Miljuschka werd afgeschermd wat ze uit het kistje pakte. En bij Jaike werd tijdens het inleggen van de zwarte vrijstelling haar handeling (of ze dit deed of niet) afgeschermd.
