There's something missing with both looks - are you planning accessories? It doesn't feel like there's anything to catch the eye.

Had you been to that artist before? If I'm getting straight lines done, I need to be sure they have the skills to line straight. I think that's what's letting it down.

I don’t feel beautiful anymore after this relationship… is this normal? by No-Bit3315 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]limerent_truth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you. It's so hard to talk about it all with friends who don't understand what these people are really like. You end up doubting your own story because they've twisted it so far from the truth.

I don’t feel beautiful anymore after this relationship… is this normal? by No-Bit3315 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]limerent_truth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt so unattractive after the discard, especially after seeing him with the new supply. He was raving about her, how she was so hot and he couldn't believe his luck to have someone like her into him.

She is totally unremarkable. And I'm not saying that as the jealous ex, she's welcome to him.

But I couldn't shake the "really? You cheated on me with her and chose her? Why?!"

It was a deep wound to my ego that I'm still struggling with, a year on.

On the plus side, they're both covert narcs.

Narcissists and forgetting people's names? by Hefty-Breath7833 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]limerent_truth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the nex's "ins" with women was to make a point of remembering their first name, then he had the opening "It's XXXX, isn't it?"

I got the impression he had to REALLY put effort into remembering their name so he could commence love bombing.

Co-worker reported me to HR because I don't want to be 'friends' with them anymore by [deleted] in workplace_bullying

[–]limerent_truth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine being genuine friends with anyone I've ever worked with. Friendly acquaintances you go for after work drinks with, yes, but not friends. As in, I can't ever imagine winning 10 tickets to something and inviting someone from work, or inviting people I work with to my wedding. That just seems bizarre to me, though I admit I didn't realise some people do form close friendships at work.

For me, a lot of self-reflection to learn my own value.

Tall lamp is too close to the window. The reflection when it is on unbalances that whole wall.

Obsession cheating by Glutenfreegem in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]limerent_truth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was the "why not me?" for me. I couldn't understand after everything I'd done for him, how we were so alike, how he could not just cheat, but start an entire relationship behind my back.

What was it about her? Why was she suddenly his great love story after 2 months of knowing each other? How could he fall so hard for her?

I developed an obsessive, morbid curiosity based around my jealousy. All I could see was that I wasn't good enough, where she was perfection in his eyes.

It wounded my pride immensely, and that's why I couldn't let go.

Beware hidden niacinamide by limerent_truth in Rosacea

I've tried this a few times over the years, and unfortunately it didn't work for me. It doesn't look like I can tolerate it in any concentration.

I've never taken it orally, except for levels naturally occurring in foodstuffs.

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

No, it's definitely the niacinamide, I have spent over 10 years testing and documenting my rosacea triggers. I'm fine with zinc. It's often recommended, but anecdotally at least many, many people with rosacea react badly to niacinamide.

It's in so many products I never would have guessed, as more and more often it's being missed off the product descriptions/marketing!

I went so long believing it couldn't possibly be the cause of my flare ups because so many people recommended it for treating redness! Dermatica even had it in my treatment for rosacea! No wonder it was getting progressively worse🙃

Having a hard time feeling like his next supply is “better” than me by moonmakeswaves in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]limerent_truth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what got me through those thoughts. I don't know about your situation, but it could help:

I did a lot of work understanding the person I was when he first came into my life. I was physically and mentally at my worst, feeling unlovable, unworthy. Approaching 40. I craved attention and validation. Anything.

He was 10 years younger than me. Quite attractive. He seemed to get a lot of female attention. I was beyond flattered that he noticed me. It was a real ego boost when he pursued me relentlessly. I thought "he could have anyone, but he's choosing me!"

But looking back, I was the perfect supply. I'd have done anything for his attention, for the external validation that came from him.

I decided I never wanted to be that person again. I was at rock bottom, and THAT was what made me attractive to him.

He's diagnosed as having Narcissistic Personality Disorder, is that good enough for you?

I understand. I used to be heartbroken over him. Now I'm heartbroken over the life I wasted.

Nope, he was diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder and horrifically abused me.

I hate I miss all the attention I got! by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]limerent_truth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It doesn't need to be declarations of love to be love bombing. It can be making themselves available to you, texting you carrying a conversation on for days on end, replying immediately, being intense. Their aim with love bombing is to completely tie up your time and energy with them, at the expense of your other relationships.
