The Royal We has helped Millions to escape the grip of narcissistic abuse. Here’s a deeper look into what narcissistic abuse looks like and steps to heal from it:

Narcissistic abuse looks like:

Lack of Empathy: Narcissists often show little to no empathy for others, making it easy for them to manipulate and exploit. Narcissists use various tactics such as gaslighting, love bombing, and devaluation to control and dominate their victims.

Common Tactics Used in Narcissistic Abuse:

Gaslighting: Making the victim doubt their own reality and sanity.
Love Bombing: Showering the victim with excessive attention and affection to gain control.

Devaluation: Undermining the victim’s self-worth through criticism, belittling, and emotional neglect.

Isolation: Cutting the victim off from their support systems to increase dependency on the abuser.

Triangulation: Using others to create jealousy or competition, keeping the victim feeling insecure.

Thanks! I NEEDED this! Narcissist complain they were abused, but WE were ALSO abused, and WE don't CHOOSE to be like narcissists who abuse others, because we CARE about people.

For sure! Because they choose to treat you poorly while treating other people well!

True . . . It is a decision because they pick and choose when and to who they manifest cruel behavior toward

There is always a choice between right and wrong

Being a grifter, a manipulator, rude, impolite, disrespectful, hateful, rageful, incapable or unwilling to take responsibility or apologize for their cruelty and arrogance is their choice. They don’t care!!! You could die in front of them and they’d finish watching their TV program and somehow, they would blame the deceased for dying.

Yeah, I fell out of a tree on my head when I was a kid. I electrocuted my head, too. Ive been hit in the head by these creeps several times in my life. I'm still a good person! I care and its intrinsic.God is my best friend.
These demons have NO excuse for their disgusting behaviour.

Honestly you can extend this to all personality disorders. All personality disorders are a set of unconscious learned behaviors and limited beliefs from insecure and unsafe environments, not an actual disease.

The more people step away from thinking it’s a disorder, the more we can actually address personality disorders and stop excusing abuse.

I agree. And they destroy relationships and life's. But it just feels like they keep getting away with everything. My heart is broken in pieces.

I absolutely agree. You nailed it. They go out of their way to make one's life hell. Some victims of their abuse even commit suicide as they just cannot tolerate their torture and abuse anymore. Narcissists belong behind bars. They take no pity on what their abusive behaviour do to others, and they show no remorse or repentance of their sinful acts. They thrive on destroying people, especially the compassionate and vulnerarable, until life holds no meaning for their victims anymore and then the victim ends her/his life. What use is their to go on...???

I’ve always wondered because it’s SO meticulous and conniving it’s hard to imagine it’s a brain glitch. Seems like really freaking smart people who know how to manipulate expertly.

The decision to be cruel IS the disorder and compulsion to have power over people. How does the narcissist ever have friends?

YESSSS to me making the
"Decision" to go NO CONTACT ❤❤❤❤❤

You're right on this @the royal we. I've come to a conclusion that they are very conscious of what they are doing. They make the choice, decision, and calculative move to do all that they do to people. It's no disorder at all.

Correct.

If they didn't know what their doing then that would mean they are psychotic and don't know what planet their on.

Meaning they don't know what their doing, their totally 100% insane and cannot be held accountable before a judge in court whatsoever.

However, you watch them and they know exactly what their doing, they do know.

thanks Kevin dude.

I believe you!! They make a choice. If they like you they keep their mask on . If they don’t, the mask comes off and they will be mean and want to destroy you! Spot on👍
