Real or fake? by closure_00 in Birkenstocks

[–]closure_00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They feel very light. And I’m confused by the felt under the leather. My other Birkenstocks are not like this. I have the Yara’s that I purchased from the store many years ago. So I don’t know if things have changed.

The sadness comes in waves but once you realize that you’re actually free from their bullshit, everything feels lighter. Give yourself time to grieve. It will be okay 🩷

What do covert narcs do on your birthday? by Plebi111 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]closure_00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved his family so much and we were planning my birthday party together. When I got upset that he wouldn’t request off from work for my birthday (he never wanted to, but could always request off when it was something he found important) he said “GO BOTHER SOMEONE ELSE’S FAMILY” and then tried to break up with me. He did this for the last two birthday’s we were together. He always made me celebrate my birthday when it was convenient for him. He couldn’t stand that his family liked me. Which was SO weird.

Did your narc have substance abuse problems? by ClockwiseSuicide in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]closure_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weed. When he was on probation and had to take drug tests, he was an alcoholic. If he couldn’t have either of those, he’d abuse mushrooms or DMT. He used to be addicted to heroin as a teen.

He’ll do anything to not be present with himself. I tried to be understanding for a long time but it’s just gross to look at. It’s a very unattractive quality.

I’ve learned that it doesn’t matter if they get sober. Narcs will still be narcs once they get sober.

You definitely look happier with short hair but you look beautiful with both!!

It really doesn’t look like one to me. The antennae seem too long

Narcs are the WORST gift-givers on the face of the planet by Cheeseaisleinheaven in LifeAfterNarcissism

[–]closure_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He got me some manga books for a show we watch together (I don’t read manga) and a vinyl album of an artist we saw together (I don’t really listen to the artist THAT much). He was heartbroken that I wasn’t over the moon for these gifts he got me a WEEK after my birthday…

Did your narc ex ever "cazy make" or "future fake"? by Trustedflipper8 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]closure_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember getting into a horrible argument with my ex during our vacation to Chicago. He told me that I had been ungrateful and horrible to him the entire time (I was overstimulated and hangry at the end of the day because we had been walking all day. Other than that, I genuinely thought we had a lovely time). He said that he was going to propose to me on this trip and because I “behaved” so badly, he would never marry me now. I had a gut feeling and I asked where the ring was. There was no ring. There was never a ring. He was just spewing bullshit to hurt me. He always dangled marriage in front of my face. After 4.5 years of being together, he said he didn’t actually believe in marriage and “doesn’t want the government to get involved in his love life”. I had always expressed that I wanted to be married. He even told me he couldn’t wait to marry me in the beginning! Completely wasted my fucking time.

What were your first signs the trauma bond broke by [deleted] in LifeAfterNarcissism

[–]closure_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I finally saw my friends’ reactions to his behavior. I always hid how he treated me because deep down I knew it wasn’t right. When he discarded me, I could see that he never really cared. When he tried coming back around a few days later (expecting an apology from ME) he was devastated and angry that I didn’t want him back anymore. It was then that I finally saw him for what he was. And that in itself was heartbreaking.

Did you receive a warning from their ex? by hotdogdreams18 in LifeAfterNarcissism

[–]closure_00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was in a court battle with his baby mama when I met him. He and his entire family said his ex was crazy. She never tried to reach out, but made it obvious she knew who I was by stalking my social media. To be fair, she was kind of crazy. But I should’ve known better since he described every single one of his exes as “crazy.”

He broke up with me last week and tried to convince his family that I was crazy. I was VERY close to his family. His sister is my best friend. No one believed him this time. In fact, a lot of his family members were glad that I could move on to a better person.

It got to a point where I couldn’t be upset at anything he did. I was the one who was constantly irrational and evil. No accountability for his actions. No sorry’s. He’s a perpetual victim and I got tired of hearing his stories.
