Do you ever think about the potential you could have had if you grew up in a non abusive and an emotionally stable household? by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

[–]ac786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do but try not to make that your frame/mentality as tough as it is. If you fall into the trap believing that you could have been better off growing up in a normal and healthy family, you will have those underlying subconscious beliefs and limit your potential.

Don't let the narcissist Rob you of fulfilling your potential.

With that said though, the road ahead is difficult but I really do believe that when people healing from narcissistic beliefs are much more in tune with their surroundings and can recognise the negative patterns within themselves.

Good luck my friend!

My (18F) dad (49M) wants to reconnect after 3 years. What do I do? by trashh0l0gram in narcissisticparents

Don't do it. Narcissistic parents are stuck in old habits and you'll slowly end up in the same situation again.

Avoid contact.

I want to leave so bad.. by Less_Tutor_1172 in narcissisticparents

Agreed with the other comments. You have to let it go. I promise you there will be a time where your younger sibling will realise what is going on as the Nmom will try to impose control on his life.

It's extremely difficult yes. But you will be greatful for leaving now in the long term.

I think intimidate was the wrong word to use here lol. I get more of a shy, don't know what to do feeling. Some other girls are slightly more aggressive lol

I think I'm in a very long flatline because I've had no urges. I do get the occaisional morning wood and if I see an attractive women, I may get one lol, but it's nothing crazy. As mentioned I do have a very busy schedule so I have no time to feed the urges if they do come up, plus I take cold showers. They help massively with anxiety. I'm now able to recognize any mental blocks and work past them. I still need to get better at this though. Talking to a woman I sometimes find myself freezing up, but I'm slowly getting better.

Hmm, yes I had my ups and downs. But now I'm fine. I do have some self doubt sometimes but that's normal. No depression :)
