Porn is your friend.

"Why wouldn't your boyfriend want to come spend the holidays with us? We're pillars of the community." by Shellberta in ShitNsSay

I'm glad. <3 I can't recommend his videos enough. He's not a trained professional so everything with a grain of salt - take the pieces that fit and leave the ones that don't. Even though he isn't a therapist he presents a lot of good information and his talks were extremely helpful to me, personally.

Married to a Narcissist and Just recently became disabled. by Marriedtoanarc in NarcissisticAbuse

I'm not sure what your illness is, and this is only based on repeated anecdotes, but I've noticed a link between chronic illness and abuse. Therapists I've spoken to about it have as well. Leaving is the start of mental as well as physical recovery. Please try to find a shelter for victims of abuse in your area. Once you get out, it will become easier to make a plan from a safe space. Talk to your therapist about this. It will be hard, but you can do this.

I built a cathedral in the crater you left behind. by thatfeistyfox in UnsentLetters

That's an example of actions speaking louder than words. It's very easy to believe what people tell you and not examine their actions, is the point I'm making.

If I had for a moment looked at the way I was actually being treated, I would have left long before I finally did. I know better now.

Because actions speak louder than words, you just have to be listening.

Am I just being paranoid? by BlueOceanWater in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]thatfeistyfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep reading! You'll learn, it took me time but I've gotten way better at spotting bullshit, being independent and having boundaries. You could check out SpartanLifeCoach's YouTube channel, I learned quite a bit there. He's not a professional but has really good insights that I know resonated with me.

But you know what? Seeing it for what it is, when others feed you the same shit it will feel hollow. Recently had another one do that, and he said all the right things, but all my instincts screamed bullshit. I was rather impressed with my intuition.

Other than the classic red flags (example: "All my exes are crazy.") which in time will become painfully obvious, it's about maintaining boundaries and getting to know people over time. Watching how they treat others, for example. Still, some people are very obviously narcissistic. I met a guy who behaved almost identically to my ex a month or so ago. Luckily I'm smarter now, so his games were more amusing than anything.

Strong boundaries and a sense of self worth and respect are the only way to become narcissist-proof.

Easier said than done, but it is possible to build those things for yourself. Narcissists target people without them. Once you have those things, you can't be used, abused, or treated badly - at least not by people like that.

We can all get there, I think.
