If your Ex was Narcissistic, you need to hear THIS

If your Ex was Narcissistic or self-centered or toxic, you need to understand how much that relationship affected you. Maybe it left you questioning your worth and value, maybe it left you questioning your ability to spot red flags, or maybe it just left you confused and sad. My point is, if we aren't careful, we could fall back into a toxic relationship again OR we could go deep into protective mode (understandably so) and actually sabotage our next relationship that might be with a good person.

I want you to have a mutually fulfilling, mutually respectful relationship with intimacy and friendship and emotional connection, that's the relationship you deserve, one where someone is consistent and actually has a desire for safety and closeness in this relationship. It's possible! But especially if we had a narcissistic ex, there's a few things we need to watch out for first.

When you’re raised with gaslighting and emotional neglect, it’s hard to recognize it as not normal.

[indiablue]

“Here I am, narcissist free. No one complaining. No one criticising. No one lying, cheating. Drama free.”
Thank God. There is light.

[DeborahThird-oguo]

A narcissist slowly poisons your soul.

[hotcomodity]

Narcissist say I’m sorry as a form of manipulation, not because they genuinely feel sorry

[KatWoodland]

NEVER EVER return to a partner who abused you in the smallest amount for ANY reason.

[Lotusawj]

You didn't want to leave the relationship, because you care(d) deeply about this person. But you have to leave in order to find someone who cares deeply about you…

[SannaNovaEmilia]

To everyone out there in the same situation as me! Please listen to yourself, trust your feelings and your own intuition. If a person constantly makes you feel like crap, unloved and unvalued. It's bacause the are treating you like crap and it's because they don't love and value you.

It's NOT because you are not tolerant enough of their BS. It's NOT because you have too high expectations of a partner and it's NOT because you're not good enough. It's probably the total opposite. You are TOO TOLERANT of their BS. You have TOO LOW expectations of your partner. And you are TOO GOOD for them.

Give yourself all the love you tried to give to them and you will live happily ever after! 🥰❤ Blessings from Sweden!

Worst part: it wasn't even a relationship. It was a situationship. But the damage he left. I'm going for therapy next week

[fionacollins]

Brilliant advice. A narcissist will never question their own behaviour, only yours.

[praisejesus]

These people make you die inside....we are the walking dead....I wouldn't have survived without Jesus...however, staying single keeps me sane. I pray for all of you to be free and healed!!❤🙏

[gailrosenberg]

Apathy is more cruel than hatred. I left to save my sanity.

[TheRockInnRobin]

Best thing that I have read this week is that loving unconditionally does not imply being unconditionally tolerant. That resonates so deeply and I hope it does for someone else too. It is possible to heal.

[TinaSellsLasVegas]

They think they are better than you. So let them be better without you.

[celenafenner]

I went back. Now im so depressed that i cant get out of bed. I pray God will help me to get away one last time. And this time be strong enough to stay away. It os hard with no friends or family.

[suzanne]

And physically. The damage to my health living in a constant state of fight or flight will take years to heal.

[PlantNews]

My heart goes out to anyone who had to deal with

[lindasolitz]

I was finally able to leave a 40 year marriage, just 2 1/2 years ago. Hearing you discribe what my life was like, makes my heart race. It took years to understand what was happening. These types of people mess with your whole psyche. They are so damaging. No one ever talked about this kind of thing before. It's hard to understand how someone can be so manipulative and unempathetic, like they have no soul. I was also raised by a narcissitic mother.

[kaylaperrin]

The discard and devaluing is devastating. It was never an equal relationship.

[sherryanderson-yp]

This intriguing video serves as a poignant reminder of the heartache I've been enduring since my 7 year relationship came to an end 4 months ago. My cherished partner, the love of my life, made the difficult decision to part ways, leaving me consumed by thoughts of him. Despite my earnest attempts to win him back, I find myself facing frustration and an overwhelming sense of emptiness, unable to envision a life without his presence. Despite my efforts to move on, I'm compelled to confess my lingering feelings and longing for him here

[lotuspoints]

He didn t call me names nor was he rude or aggressive, but the silent treatment, broken promises and ridiculus excuses said it instead of him.
