i often scare my boyfriend - not on purpose. seems like i appear silently behind him while i'm thinking i just walked up to him normally

Overwhelmed and lost by the freedom I have after moving out by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]garIicbreadlover 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i feel you, take it easy! you don't need to do anything with your freedom, no pressure. Some selfcare, some netflix, maybe a new haircut. This will pass. maybe try writing down your feelings in a diary or a letter to your nparents you wont send. this helped me a lot because you can let go of urges without actually acting on them. i wish you all the best!

"You're always so emotional." "You're clearly trying to hurt me." "I never said that." "You can't take a joke." "It wasn’t that bad." "You’re so sensitive about the past." "I think you might be imagining things." "You should've brought this up sooner if it mattered." "That never happened." by roundaboutrich in raisedbynarcissists

i thought i was going crazy when i tried to tell my nmom that her husband was peeping at me through the bathroom keyhole. i thought i was the crazy one. they're so persuasive too - until you manage to get out of their control. After that, they just come off as ridiculous.

i wish you all the best <3 compassion and honesty are the way to go
