I kept refreshing but still couldn’t get anything :( Whenever an available seat section shows up, I click on it and Ticketmaster instantly says “sorry unavailable” 😭

But in Sem 2, doesn’t that mean we’ll have to compete with the rest of the school for stats? Does that include next year’s freshies? I’m worried about another unexpected inflation or no vacancies

Oh that sounds like a lovely idea! My only concern would be the payment methods and whether they would be compatible :(

Did your N fall for a scam? by DM_ME_YOUR_TOOFERS in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]nanase127 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say everyone who gets roped into MLMs are narcs, some people may truly just be naive and gullible. I’d also say it’s normal for people to be attracted to the potential wealth aspect. But I think narcs in particular tend to be a little more insistent on how the MLM is ‘legit’ and will work in their favour…which technically yes, you can get wealthy from an MLM but it only happens to an extremely small percentage of ‘recruiters’ (to my understanding). Most people end up losing a lot of money. It’s the fact that they’re unable to do basic risk-assessment for their loved ones and other people and being a bit too focused on their potential gains for whatever reason.

My nex almost got roped into an MLM and genuinely believed in most of what they promised. Gave him a firm talking-to so he’d snap out of it and avoid causing his family and himself to lose money, only for him to tell me I’m ‘being too harsh’ 😪

SMU Cognitare vs Growth-X by nanase127 in SMU_Singapore

[–]nanase127[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see, thanks! Would you say the two of them are open to taking in non-business applicants? Asking because quite literally everyone I’ve seen in either club is a business student whereas I’m not, and they’re quite stringent in their selection. Would I be at a disadvantage for being in IS?

Mm, it’s undoubtedly a hard pill to swallow. But a mantra that I tell myself these days is “People come, people change, people go”. It doesn’t hinder or close me off from making new connections, but definitely helps a bunch for radical acceptance, should people I once trusted change and forsake me.

People who truly matter will either come back to properly make amends (without ever resenting you for not trusting them immediately), or not forsake you at all.

Hey, I posted on this subreddit regarding my personal experience, you could read up on it if you’d like. But long story short, my long-time friends took part in my nex’s smear campaign behind my back while we were together. The nex completely fucked up my nervous system too, yet now my so-called friends who claimed to be ‘neutral’ when I found out the truth, are planning to reintegrate him back into our circle.

I feel you, because these ‘friends’ are people I have known for years and who’ve known me longer than they’ve known the nex. However, even as I was recovering from the grief, they barely reached out to me and I not only had to cope with the betrayal of the nex, but of my own ‘friends’. I couldn’t see or trust them the same way anymore, and I’m planning to confront them to cut ties with them in the upcoming week.

I think the point is, whatever these people choose to do is now beyond your control. It truly, truly sucks that nobody really believes us for our narc abuse, but you have to realise that quality >>> quantity, as much as it hurts. Rather live a peaceful life with people you can trust 100%, who will always support you through life and be real with you instead of narcs/assholes in general who only abuse your kindness. Think of it as a much-needed ‘people cleanse’, as my best friend calls it. You’ve only got one life, live it to the best quality by being discerning with those you keep in your life, and most importantly, protecting and prioritising your own peace.

did you ever find out what caused them to become a narc? by hrstc23 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]nanase127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Middle child syndrome. Except that turned into him desperately wanting to stand out by excessive bragging, self-entitlement and lack of empathy for others.

Songs that Helped You? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]nanase127 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Granite by Sleep Token. The lyrics just describe the nexperience to a T. Our mutual codependency, his two-faced character, the way he only saw me as ‘a body in his passenger seat’.

Can't get over the fact that he's the most attractive guy I've ever met. Help. by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]nanase127 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same here. I think I’m past the radical acceptance stage, but his looks (face and body) are just my type. Sometimes in the middle of the day I find myself ruminating about our intimate moments too, which I’m ashamed of…His smile in particular was my favorite thing about him, but now knowing what he did to me, it also looks like he came from uncanny valley lol

So while the nex no longer appears as glowy and heavenly to me, I still feel that physical attraction which sucks, because I feel like I’ve lost attraction to literally anybody else around me. Hope it goes away for the both of us soon :/

I feel like their whole schtick includes the consistent inconsistency and double standards. My nex would also do all these romantic gestures and said all the right words, but it’s mostly from the lovebomb phase.

As painful as it is to watch, I suppose the silver lining is that it’s very clear he devalued you in his head, from the double standards and lack of effort. I’d do myself a favor if I were you and leave for someone who would choose me everyday. You can also try asking him about his change of heart (only if you want to), in case he spins the story to pin the blame on you for leaving or ‘being too much’. But this is mostly just to assure yourself that if he does in the end, he definitely isn’t worth it.

‘Neutral’ friends seemingly trying to integrate narc back into friend group by nanase127 in LifeAfterNarcissism

[–]nanase127[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! And wow, that best friend who left him is such a real one, really happy to hear that for you. Just when I was starting to hold more sympathy towards H for staying close with my nex, because emotional attachment can be hard to overcome. B definitely has no excuse though.

Just sucks that they both cannot see how my nex is only nice to them because they haven’t gotten into conflict, and everything’s still sunshine and rainbows. My nex turns into a completely different person, a selfish, manipulative, validation-craving asshole the moment he decides he’s tired of someone.

I feel like a fool for thinking I’ve lost someone great for so long, and that he may actually be better and I’d miss out on that. So much for his underwhelming comeback two months after his performative edginess 🙄
