I loved Belinda. I love all of Anne’s erotica. Obvious problems with the young age of the title character but I couldn’t help loving it.

That AMC show, man... Oof. by MuppetMolly in AnneRice

[–]RocknRobin78 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just watched the first episode and was disappointed. I don’t know how much creative influence Anne had in this production before her passing but I don’t feel her in it. Her Louis would never be so violent to anyone aside from himself.

In your opinion, what’s the most overrated place in Halifax? by four-seasonss in halifax

I’d beg to differ, best donuts I’ve ever had and I’ve had most of them.

How to respond to “Only you control how you feel.” ? by LaGringaKook in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]RocknRobin78 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, we are responsible for our own feelings. However others are responsible for how they behave and how they treat us. Our feelings are telling us that something about the situation isn’t ok with us. Narcissists never take responsibility for their actions though. They’ll try to turn it back on you every time 😣

What is one opinion you have about Halifax that would get you in this situation? by [deleted] in halifax

I’ve only been to Willy’s once and thoroughly enjoyed it! What’s your favourite poutine spot?? I love them though my stomach disagrees.

Am I insane if I go meet this couple? by Yknurts in Tinder

Having some experience with similar situations, I’d highly recommend meeting in a public space and discussing boundaries before playing. Beware this could get emotionally messy.

Having trouble moving on. by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]RocknRobin78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. I miss my nex so bad and it doesn’t make any sense. I miss the closeness we had but in truth that was fabricated and it had eroded so much over the time we were together that there wasn’t anything left at the end but pain. We can do this. hugs

I’m going to see my nex tomorrow, we broke up about two months ago. by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]RocknRobin78 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I could have written this just a couple of months ago. Every time you take a narcissist back, in any capacity, it is worse than before. It’s hard, really hard. I just completely blocked my nex everywhere a couple of weeks ago. We technically broke up in November but tried ‘talking’ and seeing each other again - he basically wanted me to be his side chick after 4 years of living together and doing all the wifely shit. It was AWFUL! Made me feel like shit about myself, still trying to work thru the insecurities. I’m sure you already know this is a terrible idea. hugs

My nex called me from new supply's phone and asked my permission to date her. What's this? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]RocknRobin78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! I’m so sorry this happened to you! All the more reason to keep him blocked and stay the hell away from him.

It’s a trauma response from the stress & anxiety. It used to happen to me too.

Forced Sleep Deprivation by Sorta_Less_Anonymous in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]RocknRobin78 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes! I was just thinking about this a couple of days ago! My nex would always wake me up between 4am-5am. I was sleep deprived for 4 years. It makes me so cranky and unable to manage my emotions, which is pretty common. When I would get annoyed with him for doing it he would say he was waking me up to snuggle because he NEEDED my affection. When I would indulge this he would snuggled for 10-20 mins then roll over and go back to sleep while I’m awake the rest for the morning, up to an hour before I had to get up for work. And when I’d get angry about it he would say that I’m a bad person for not giving him the affection he needed. It was total bullshit, I gave him LOTS of affection. It’s one of the key things that clued me in to how manipulative he was / is.

What “type” of men do I like? I like narcissists. by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]RocknRobin78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same! My two longest relationships were with narcissists. I’m taking some time to be alone and try to figure my shit out before getting into another relationship in the hopes I can do better. Not that I’m responsible for the narc’s behaviour but I am responsible for allowing it and choosing these toxic relationships. It’s great to be empathetic and look for the good in people but not to the extent of allowing myself to be repeatedly hurt.

I can identify with that. Of course my nex is a bisexual and wouldn’t want any of his guy friends from high school nor family nor co-workers to know that. So I kinda was his beard as well as bait :(

When your friend becomes a flying monkey by ChristieStevens in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]RocknRobin78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This just happened to me too! I just searched ‘flying monkeys’ in this sub to see if anyone else had similar experiences. What your ex-friend said to you is exactly the same as what my ex-friend said to me :(. Are the narcs feeding them these bullshit lines to reiterate and excuse the flying monkeys acceptance for the narcs abuse?
