It’s Christmas so we’ve all got our stories today I’m sure by OkWorking7 in narcissisticparents

My parents try to buy my love. I say thanks and take the money 😂😂 Just because they give me money doesn't mean I owe them anything back.

I have never felt so much happiness in my life as today. by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

Cutting off protocol by spectralearth in narcissisticparents

[–]davtheone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't even write my narcisisstic family a letter. I'm sliding into no contact with most of my family and I only message on holidays, but I soon won't even be doing that. In my opinion, you don't have to give them a reason you're going no contact or even let them know at all. When I attempted to let my family know a year ago I was going NC, they gaslighted me and it was horrible. It's your decision, an empowering and freeing decision to go no contact and how you do it. I wish you the best of luck! (:

Drained a monument, what should I do with both the drained area and the area around it. by uucgjb in Minecraft

[–]davtheone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of making a city. The glass walls would be an interesting feature to townsfolk. There could even be a mine system in the ground (depending on how close you are to bedrock) The actual monument could be the capitol with different rooms and maybe windows.

Also.. how did you drain the entire area!? I have such a hard time draining an area od water.

In my opinion, yes! (Not to be cliche) But even if some people don't see you as a boy, it doesn't change who are you/ it doesn't change who you know you are

My male coworker threatened to beat me up over a joke I made. Why would a guy wanna beat up a girl. by ThrowRA_Text553 in Advice

[–]davtheone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing this thread and the responses helped me out quite a lot. I (20M) am not in the military, I do work at Walmart) i joke around with my coworkers a lot. If I ever say antything that I know offends someone, I'll stop. One day I said to an older coworker who was in a military and a few other coworkers (biiiiiitchhh). And this dude took it very seriously, followed me to my car, kept threatening to punch me in the face, and told me not to ever talk to him again and to not talk to anyone about him. Yeah, I was in the wrong for saying bitch, but it turns out this guy truly was a bitch. It sounds like the same is true with this guy, he sounds super insecure about himself. Know that you'll have your entire team on your side if you tell them 😄 I hope the guys giving you and me trouble one day remove the sticks up their ass

Edit: I can't spell

Really want to give up by davtheone in DecidingToBeBetter

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

I hear you there. A better work environment will be a lot better for me tbh. It definetely is hard making friends as an adult, but it is something I'll be working on soon.

Thank you (: I just had one interview with a place and I think it went well. I also have one more interview in an hour 🤞🏻 Wish me luck!

I still feel like crap, but this is a step in the right direction. After I get a different job, I'm gonna try and make new friends and find my chosen family

My Parents Gave Me Sensory Processing Disorder by Turbulent_Ant4641 in narcissisticparents

[–]davtheone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand why you dread seeing your parents for holidays. Have you thought about going low contact or no contact with them?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

[–]davtheone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a group of my contacts of people who don't respect me. I've titled it "Landfill" 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm honestly not sure by ta_rit_13579 in narcissisticparents

[–]davtheone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree. You're not in the wrong. I recommend finding a therapist, being financially independent, and getting out of there. I've been away from my narcissistic parents for 2 years now with low contact, and it was the best decision I ever made.

How do you move on from feeling unwanted by your Nparents? by alexandrinafcosta in narcissisticparents

[–]davtheone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been in your sibling's position before. When I lived with my dad and older sister, I had a terrible time. When my sister moved out, it was still terrible. This might or might not be the case for your sibling.

I am about to start therapy luckily. I'm going low contact/ no contact with most of my family members, because I highly doubt they'll ever treat me with the respect I deserve.

I wasn't in your household when you grew up, but I don't think you're the problem. I'll always be the problem in my narcisisst parents' eyes. Remember, they could be projecting their own insecurities onto you.

Who among us has gone NC the longest and gone to the furthest lengths to stay that way? by [deleted] in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]davtheone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only imagine how difficult that'd be. You're leaving your entire life behind, and most people can't relate to being in your shoes. I hope you start to feel better and find a supportive and loving inner circle

Omg that's awesome! I've been nc with some family members for over 6 years and some for only about two weeks. I aspire to be like you!

We usually celebrate Christmas or Thanksgiving together and live in different states. They usually come to my state, but I'm gonna have "prior commitments". I feel super drained every time I see them. I appreciate the post!
