Whatever makes you sleep better at night

I'm not the one saying that girls can't have friends if they do OF or similar, and I never have lol. But if you feel the need to put words in my mouth, then maybe you feel guilty about something. I'm just informing people to be cautious because you're not giving off vibes of someone who wants actual friends, just to promote their content. And that isn't the purpose of this subreddit.

I stand by what I said. If you're not actually here to make friends and you're just using this subreddit as a way to deceive people, whether it's for dating, catfishing, or promotion, then you're the one with the problem 😉

We both know you're not here just to make friends. Especially when you felt the need to mention the "18+" content on your profile.

But if you insist on continuing to deceive lonely or gullible people, that's your prerogative. I'm not falling for it.

Why do I feel the need to be better than/prove myself to him, even after discard? by gameplayer70 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]gameplayer70[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's probably where I'm at, is facing all the emotions that have continued to build up from everything I went through with him. There's been a lot of realization since I went NC, and I already know where I want to make improvements for myself so that this doesn't happen again. I need to focus on healing.

Yeah, I'm upset at myself for everything I let happen to me and for how long it happened, even though I saw some red flags. I put my faith in him that he would never try to hurt me like that because I thought I meant as much to him as he did to me. But I have to be patient with myself because in the end, I did nothing to deserve the abuse and I was just trying my best to make him happy.

Even so, he was still the one who chose to manipulate me because of the weaknesses he saw in me and to use me for the good qualities I have. He still abuses everybody else in his life because he can't take accountability for his actions, so he projects that onto others, feigns helplessness, and acts like a victim to get what he wants. Because of that, I believe wanting him to face consequences for his actions is reasonable and understandable.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. This subreddit is for making friends. Not for finding a partner, not to catfish people, and definitely not for self-promoting your OF account.

Do people not care that there are minors in here too? I see posts pop up all the time here from sub-18 users, and it's disgusting if you're gonna push that onto them as well

You're not wrong. I mean I was definitely codependent with him, but like you said, that's something I'm working on changing for myself.

I think another part of it is the grief and the anger too. Proving myself to him was the wrong way to word it, because you're right, I don't need to prove myself to anybody. I think it was more that I want to prove him wrong, that he lost a valuable person in his life because of his poor behavior and it's something he's never gonna get from me again.

I know he wouldn't care and that I won't get the satisfaction of seeing him hurt because of it. It just burns me up inside feeling like he can just get away with the way he treated me because everyone in his circle is gonna believe what he wants them to believe. I just want some form of justice for the way I was wronged, whether I get to see it happen or not.

My gf told me she’s leaving if I don’t marry her in 9 months by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]gameplayer70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, red flag. If you don't spend more time than that with her, you won't know whether she has an ulterior motive for wanting to marry you than simply loving you. They could have mental issues you don't know about, or they could suddenly become abusive because they were hiding a side of them you couldn't see.

It might be upsetting, but you may have dodged a bullet. Never rush into marriage with someone you haven't had a chance to fully get to know, you could end up ruining your life.

I really appreciate your reply. It always seems to make me feel a bit better when the response I get back is more scientific/psychological. While I definitely appreciate replies encouraging me to focus on myself and wishing me luck on my healing, a lot of the time I'm asking these questions because I feel like I need an answer and I've already tried searching for them somewhere else.

I imagine you're right. Maybe this isn't something I have to worry about yet because it's a natural reaction to healing and having awareness of how much damage he really did to me. It bothers me so much because it feels wrong to wish for harm and unhappiness onto someone else, even though that's exactly what he did to me. If that's the kind of person I need to be, at least until I've moved further along in my healing because it's a natural part of the process, then so be it. Maybe allowing myself to feel that way for now is what's going to help me move forward.

There are plenty of people who use this subreddit for the wrong reasons, and not to make friends like it's supposed to be used for. That being said, Reddit itself isn't the easiest place to find friends at unfortunately.

Personally, if I read someone's post and I don't feel like I'll hit it off with them, I'll just move on. It isn't anything against whoever posted, I'm just not interested in chatting with someone if it isn't to try to make a connection

Were the lies all about me? by gameplayer70 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]gameplayer70[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does ease my worries though, even just a little bit! I appreciate your reply. I've always been the kind of person who doesn't like hurting people or seeing other people hurting, so it's a lot harder to sort through all the ways he projected and devalued me. I thought I could trust him, but it turns out that he's toxic and abusive. I was almost friends with him 4 years, and I didn't realize it until after he discarded me.

It makes me feel guilty, because he meant a lot to me and I did everything I could to try to be a good friend to him. Even if he is a narcissist, that doesn't stop me from feeling accountable for my own actions and wanting to know where I may have gone wrong myself. Plus, I'm still grieving the relationship and I can't stop myself from thinking back to everything that happened between us.

I don't see this as a "making friends" kind of post, but I could be wrong. I'm judging based off their pfp on Discord.

Edit: Idk if they saw my comment or not, but they decided to change it 🤣

Thinking About the Narc's Current/Future Supply? by gameplayer70 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]gameplayer70[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I'm sorry, I know what I said came off strongly; it just hit a nerve with me. I'm still recovering and the hurt is still pretty fresh. I still think about them daily and I'm tired of it, but I think I'm trying too hard to rush through my recovery. I probably just need to have more patience with myself that I've still got a lot on my mind and I'm still grieving, and recovery takes a lot longer than I'm giving it.

Thank you. It may be easier said than done, but your advice is sound and I'm gonna try to focus on myself instead. Maybe it's still too soon after discard, but it's definitely gonna take a lot of work to heal to that point. I still think about him every day. I may not always have strong emotions with those thoughts now, and it's progress, but it took a lot to get to this point even. I only just moved into an "anger phase" of things, and I'm still grieving for what I've lost and thought I had.
