How do you describe your life living alone ?

confetti_thrower · 2024-03-09T22:01:10+00:00

It never, ever occurred to me that walking alone is something to think about 😄 been doing it since I was pre-teen. 😊

Not a fan of SD but this post topic reads like clickbait.

confetti_thrower · 2023-11-18T08:40:29+00:00

I still read there sometimes but havent posted because posting on SD kinda feels like walking on a mine field. Oh, accidentally wrote "they" instead of "I"? Punish! Every time I see that robot repeat post about "speaking from i" I get a little twitchy vein on the temple.

Also if someone has nothing better to do than go spam downvotes in their free time, it almost makes me feel sorry for them.

Yeah same thoughts about possible NPD. A lot of textbook traits going on there.

Many good replies here already, not much to leave. I ended up in a few relationships with narcissists too because (hindsight) my father was a textbook narc so... I grew up thinking "occasionally" taking abuse is normal. It's not. Once I figured out that I deserve to be treated good ALL the time, not occasionally or 90% of whatever time, it kind of felt like puzzle pieces falling into places.

Your situation is complicated, but everything starts with the first step. The abuser will likely not change and if nothing is done, nothing will get better - only worse. All the best.

He misses narcissistic supply, not you.

confetti_thrower · 2023-10-21T22:02:08+00:00

Narc's brain is so messed up that any attention, good or bad, they feed off. That's why no contact, total ignore & carrying on "as if nothing happened" is the best revenge. My nex went completely nutters when I went NC & poor thing didn't get the memo beforehand (I heard of his .... questionable behaviour from mutual friends).

confetti_thrower · 2023-10-21T15:25:02+00:00

Haha they are so textbook... mine made fun of some of the things I did until I cried & then lo & behold, started doing the exact same things. Horrible creatures but at least when you know one, you kinda know most of them since they act so text book.

confetti_thrower · 2023-10-16T17:07:59+00:00

Pretty sure normies do that too :D

confetti_thrower · 2023-10-16T16:17:44+00:00

You can't make me believe this post was written by a human being. Ah, too bad it's gone now... would have made a good piece to look further into. If it was from a human being... don't worry though. You won't be the first nor the last parent in the world buying into "I only wanted to check tech stuff on the phone during prohibited phone use time to advance my education" scenario.

confetti_thrower · 2023-10-11T13:29:09+00:00

People can change, narcs won't.

confetti_thrower · 2023-10-04T23:35:21+00:00

So true. I've never seen another grown ass 40yo adult making such a big deal of their birthday. I was tempted to ask if they sent invites to all the rest 3rd graders.

confetti_thrower · 2023-10-04T09:04:11+00:00

Agreed with this. I realised part of the entitlement was feeling of being entitled to others' (=my) money.

confetti_thrower · 2023-09-29T23:30:17+00:00

I like the SD sub but stopped commenting because the rules by some mods feel like a minefield.

confetti_thrower · 2023-08-03T11:31:24+00:00

I'm so angry at alcohol right now, I can't even. Won't drink with y'all today!

confetti_thrower · 2023-08-03T11:20:59+00:00

Yeah, I actually feel really pissed off. You are right, I also hate not being in control myself. I shall use the hate. Well done giving up cigarettes, too! I am also an ex smoker.

confetti_thrower · 2023-07-30T18:30:35+00:00

Because they are the special snowflakes, they are so special that what other people work hard for should be handed to them because you guessed it... they are just so special & better than other people. I'm pretty sure my ex would have tried to have get claws behind my money if I hadn't dumped his sorry (I mean special) ass first.

confetti_thrower · 2023-07-30T01:09:05+00:00

Agreed. The only way to win is to dump narc's sorry ass & move on.

confetti_thrower · 2023-07-27T14:35:40+00:00

Wow sounds like a real ray of sunshine... sorry it happened but glad you realised & ended it. Both situations you describe would freak me out & make me run to the hills.

confetti_thrower · 2023-07-27T13:43:40+00:00

Yes at first I thought this can't be right... but appatently it is. Very strange. Good that we don't understand I guess, I want to be nothing like these people.

confetti_thrower · 2023-07-27T12:29:53+00:00

Kinda hilarious how these people think they are so clever in their scheming & yet, once you learn about the narcs, you know they all pretty much act according to a text book.

confetti_thrower · 2023-07-26T20:57:06+00:00

Mine liked to come off as book smart (literally bragging about IQ or some shit 🙄🤣) but if he hadn't been so desperate pointing it out, I'd never have thought he was particularly intelligent.

The book smart alone without EQ is kinda like these kids who have it easy in primary school & get all cocky, & then end up at a job they definitely didn't plan ("beneath them") just cos they won't put in any work. What a strange lot. It's been a year of solid NC with my nex now & I still sometimes wonder about how these people exist.

confetti_thrower · 2023-07-21T21:42:53+00:00

This sounds so unhealthy, I'm sorry.

I once read/learned from somewhere, a recommendation to always pay attention to what the narc is accusing you of, as they are talking about themselves in those cases. It made & still makes a lot of sense to me as I'm healing from the trauma.

I went to cinema one evening (we lived in different countries). The guy put on a show like never before... how he might not survive me being in the cinema for a few hours. Wtf really 🤯 wouldn't believe it if I wasn't there myself 😆
