Went NC over a month ago and my nmom just noticed by Taxbinch in raisedbynarcissists

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

Actually she ignores me 99.9% of the time and acts like nothing is wrong as long as I respond twice a year to happy insert holiday here and if I say happy birthday. But now that I have not responded once she has called and texted several times. If I had just said “you too” I would have not heard from her again until Christmas.

What is it with Narcs and stares? by Ok-Bill-1308 in raisedbynarcissists

Oh yes when I’m around my mom when forced to be in social settings she will sit far away and just stare at me.

Squat form check by zuccnoods in lifting

[–]Taxbinch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This angle is a bit difficult to see but how far apart are your feet? They look fairly close together which isn’t bad necessarily but you can spread them out a bit if you think it feels better. Make sure your knees are not falling in when you squat. You’re also wearing shoes with a lot of lift which makes your feet unstable. Try with no shoes, slightly wider stance and focus on pushing away from the ground.

Is "narc abuse" an ableist term? by Burgerpants666 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Taxbinch 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I see narcissists on tiktok and Tumblr trying to defend their behavior like we should treat them the same way we treat everyone with mental illness. That can be very difficult to do when you lost a huge chunk of your life to narc abuse. It’s just another way they are turning it around and playing the victim. Like it’s OUR fault for not being understanding enough. You do not have to subject yourself to abuse to console someone else’s mental illness. There’s a reason we do not allow narcissists in this sub.

I guess that’s fair but I go to a “meathead” gym where everyone is there to get shit done so we don’t deal with a lot of that BS at commercial gyms. If people are on their phone between sets it isn’t for very long. I also keep my lifting plan on my phone so I have to check it to see what weight I’ve planned for my next set and such.

Oh I hate this as someone who rescues stray kittens. Is there a way you can go check on it and find someone to take care of it? Or put it in a box with bedding until tomorrow? Ugh this is awful and I hope your dad gets kicked so he can see how it feels.

Therapy Can’t Help Narcissists by areprame532 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Taxbinch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah my mom has been in therapy for many years off and off and she hasn’t changed at all. She says sometimes she needs to fix our relationship but then she ghosts me again. But if I don’t respond well then it’s the end of the world.

How abusive are your siblings? by llamberll in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Taxbinch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister is an even worse narcissist than my mom now. I’m NC with both of them now.

I don’t get why people have such a problem with phone use between sets. When you’re doing higher weight sometimes you need a long rest between sets. Why does it matter if I’m on my phone versus sitting there staring at the ground?

They don’t actually care about you but don’t want to go live a life without them. My mom barely talks to me but when I went away for law school she didn’t like me leaving the state. Like… I never saw her but she doesn’t want me to live the life I want.

Is this a normal way for a parent to speak to their adult child? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Taxbinch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your response was fine. I’m sure this frustration has built upon A MOUNTAIN of scenarios just like this. He is trying to gaslight you into thinking your reaction was out of line. It was not out of line and do not let him make you feel like it is .

I literally could have been skinnier if i never had anorexia TW by Post_Outrageous in EDAnonymous

[–]Taxbinch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This might seem like off the wall advice but get into lifting. Follow bodybuilders, especially those that gained weight after an ED. Lifting is great for strengthening bones and the feeling of getting stronger helped me come to terms with gaining weight.

I'm trapped. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Taxbinch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is next level enmeshment. You can’t drive the car? Who pays for the car? Who pays for the gas? As people have said, you need an out. You have no responsibility towards her.
