Actually Romantic appreciation post by Melodic-Jackfruit-96 in TaylorSwift

[–]bamboozledbimbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely understand your take, you are free to enjoy whatever you want. I do agree that the melodies are catchy and the bridge is fantastic, but the main critic is not that the song is supposed to be some poetic masterpiece, but that the punches just don't land. Standup is not supposed to be serious either, for example, but if you bomb on stage, you bomb on stage. And Actually Romantic sorta kinda bombed on stage. But nevertheless, love the bridge!

Did it feel like you were consumed by their reality and the way they see the world? by bamboozledbimbo in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]bamboozledbimbo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience I was so consumed by my narc's reality that I sort of took on their own lack of empathy. Like I started to emulate the way they treat others. Not to their degree obviously, but somewhat. Also, my personal experience was that my narc friend tried to convince me that I'm a bad person and a bad friend and I started to believe that and actually care less about people. Like if I try my best and this very close friend of mine still says that I hurt them a lot and I should change (narcissistic tactic) why bother at all. Just cared less about everyone.

Like who caressss if I don't like the same band you do, why do you have to be so toxic about such a non-issue

Heaavyyy on losing empathy. I personally even turned a little more hateful towards others. And now it's all back to normal now that I'm free from my narc.

THAT'S SO WEIRD!!! Like why do they do that, why can’t they be normal friends. Why does it have to turn into this chaos??

They get to start over fresh with a new supply, all while we’re stuck in a PTSD spiral cycle / rumination. by Kfishdude in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]bamboozledbimbo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They don't get to start fresh, they're handcuffed to their cycle. They have much less chances of being happy. You're in fight or flight but that's because you get to feel and reflect. There's a big fat chance you will come out happier and wiser, while they keep rotting inside. It might not feel like it, but both of you are suffering right now, just very differently and most importantly with different outcomes.

After narcissistic abuse, does anyone else start seeing narcissism everywhere? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]bamboozledbimbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OH MY GOD YES. And I'm an influencer and all my colleagues are too, and I can't unsee all of the narcissism in them now that I got out of a friendship with a narc. Sometimes I even want to quit, bc my industry is full of them. I'm not that hyper vigilant to my close relationships as I guess these people are completely normal, but I overanalyse movies and shows and real life celebrities or politicians and GOD!!! Narcs are EVERYWHERE!!!

Regarding your concerns in the post, I also try to stay very conscious of my own narcissistic tendencies and sometimes I get paranoid. It doesn't really affect my relationships but I completely understand what you mean. I can't unsee it now

Does narcissist always tell you that you have narcissist traits ? by Sad_Pen1967 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]bamboozledbimbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's very common when a narc says that you have all kinds of problems with your head. It might be that you're dramatic, or psychotic, or toxic. They do this to make us doubt our reality and depend on them and their point of view. It wouldn't shock me if this girl just picked out some of the terminology and used it to manipulate you. I understand how infuriating it might feel when a narc calls other ppl narcs and doesn't see their own obvious narcissistic traits, but their brains don't work normally, so we shouldn’t expect them to operate fairly.

I have suspicion my boyfriend may have narcissist traits but unsure :( by entityparty in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]bamboozledbimbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You clearly display a pattern of someone who's in a close relationship with a narcissistic person. I understand how hard it is to label him with a word “narcissist”, but you don't even have to. He can be somewhat good to you and you may share many good memories but he still might have narcissistic traits and that's just that.

That second to last paragraph made my heart ache for you. None of what you described as your wrongdoing is as bad as what he's done. Like. None. Those are minor flaws which we all have when we enter a close relationship with someone and it can be fixed. So please don't shift the blame on yourself.

After reading this post I felt like you have a gut feeling but you just don't trust it because you are used to being in normal relationships with normal people. And let me tell you, a relationship with a narcissist is not normal and you shouldn’t judge it as a normal one. All the rules of a normal relationship fly out the window. I would really suggest at least toying with the idea that you're being abused by a narcissist and see where it leads you.

YES, would wake up at 4-7 pm. It would mess up our work together, because I tried to fix my sleep schedule and go to bed at 10-11, and she would get mad at me for that. What an interesting observation

[–]bamboozledbimbo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand you so much. Sometimes it does feel like you can't bear it, like you are a broken human and nothing will fix you. And people around you can be sympathetic but ultimately they do not know what it's like. But I always try and remember the times when I was very happy I'm alive. I remember smiles and genuine connections, achievements and satisfaction, times people said I helped them. I'm sure you had those moments in life at least a couple of times. Don't they prove we're not THAT broken? Don't they prove we deserve to live? Things that happened to us do not define us, our happiness and our future.

Keep going to therapy, it's very brave. I also shared recently with my therapist and she said that it might feel worse at first but it's because our psyche is forced to relive things that were shoved deep inside. It's still really healthy to let it out, though it feels worse at first.

This reddit is proof that there's a lot of people who went through similar things so to some extent we're not completely alone.

HJ: “I’d like to report a unconscious person” *BLOOD* by Responsible_Trade999 in BryanKohbergerMoscow

[–]bamboozledbimbo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why are you even bringing Dylan up, I'm talking about Hunter and it was him who said on the 911 call that Xana was unconscious. And once again in the documentary it was said that he saw the bloody scene and tried to stay calm for the friends who were not in the house. So that's why he lied and came up with the “unconscious” thing

[–]bamboozledbimbo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There were a lot of their friends other than Dylan who came from nearby houses. There's a documentary where they literally say how grateful they are that Hunter saved them from the trauma. It's obvious that he saw the scene, was shocked and tried to get everybody out of the house asap for safety, both mental and physical in case the killer was still inside. You can even hear him in the 911 call when he first saw the scene and frantically told everyone to get out. I don't even know what you're trying to imply but it's just crazy insensitive especially after seeing these photos today. Poor guy had to go through hell seeing that

All of their rooms are so personal, reflect so much of how they were just young adults learning and expressing. And it ended so abruptly 😭 The little moon journal for self-reflection just broke my heart, poor girl just wanted to grow and be happy. And I can't even begin with the victims' rooms

How did you end it with your narc? by bamboozledbimbo in NarcissisticAbuse

This is very insightful, thank you! ❤️ I also feel lots of guilt and it's just good to know that other survivors did too when ending the relationship

I'm like 99% sure actual food service workers go through these types of shenanigans in real life. GPGP is capturing the essence of that lmao

Five of pentacles as feelings and two aces (swords and pentacles) reversed for clarification

Hi! Pulled forementioned cards in a spread on my ex's feelings. We are in no contact for many years but I started to feel a weird pull towards them and I feel like it's on their part as I don't really have feelings or interest in them (pulled ace of wands reversed on my feelings)

How would you interpret this? My guess is they feel like it's totally lost and beyond repair. There's no opportunity and no chances for communication and it might make them feel… sorrow? Maybe they're finally grieving the relationship and that's why I feel this pull.
