8 Signs You Are Dealing with Narcissistic Abuse

June 1 was Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day. Narcissistic abuse can come in many different forms from examples of belittling comments, growing contempt, ignoring behavior (eg. silent treatment, passive-aggressiveness), triangulation, sabotage, downplay, and much more. Many people are not sure whether or not they are suffering from narcissistic abuse. Cognitive dissonance and the confusion that goes with abuse can have a lot to do with this. The purpose of this video is to help you identify subtle signs that you may be a victim of narcissistic abuse.

If you were to send this video to a narcissist, I imagine they would say “yes! This is how *you* treat me”.

[Priincesciita]

I never understood how people got into and stayed in abusive relationships until I was in one

[tommyparkerparker]

The thing with narcissists. Based on my experience with them that they expect you to be nice to them all the time and at the same time, they treat you like garbage.

[glimmerxp]

remember not every narcissist will match this 100% but if you feel a constant anxiety around a person instead of comfortability it’s a good idea to listen to what your body is telling you and to get away from that person

[pattyyycaake]

This is so hard to watch. To finally accept that someone you love and thought you wanted to spend your life with was just smoke and mirrors. I’m having all of the signs of anxiety I just want to heal I don’t want this ugly feeling of loneliness upon me. That man didn’t love me, he loved the way I loved him and what I can do for him. The day you realize you can’t change these people is the day of awakening. Currently almost 1 whole month of no contact. Please pray for my strength.

[pippipster]

The day you realise you just not taking it anymore ... is such a good day.

[dayjaferreira]

I literally asked myself yesterday “how bad does it have to get before I realize I need to leave?” Wow this is really confirmation. Only happy tears from here on out

[therealcookingwithyolanda]

The misinterpretation of my words and arguing was the worst. And they always say it’s you doing that. When it’s clearly them.

[queendementedvybe]

They never admit their wrong. And they love to push your buttons they hate to see you happy. Anything you enjoy they hate. They leave you so angry because they repeatedly disrespect and argue every single day.

[SofaKing_Gee]

As hard as it is and as much as I cry, I AM SO GLAD I FINALLY CHOSE ME AND WALKED AWAY..
Don’t ever let anyone dim your light, you are meant to shine ✨

I think one thing common with Narcissists is how draining they are. You can feel as if your life, joy, happiness, dreams get drained a way. Dealing with a narcissist is like being someone s unpaid servant

[YasiaAliyah]

Worst part is when the narcissist lies and flips the script so well to make themselves the victim, that they actually convinced other people that you’re the horrible person that they say you are. You don’t even get to defend your character😭

[Shibefu]

Narcissistic ex had me walking on egg shells, giving up my hobbies, my time with my friends, and even my time by myself by making me feel guilty for it. She didn’t have her own group of friends but made me feel like a terrible person for having my own. I tried to introduce her to my friends, but she didn’t even put any effort despite the fact they were so kind and careful when speaking to her and very welcoming. Before I knew it I had spiraled into a lifestyle where all my time was being spent with her, not doing any of the things I liked and me just settling for anything that would keep her from getting upset. My friends worked really hard to save me from that relationship. And they succeeded.

[latinlovervanvoorst]

One thing I learned after 17 years of dealing with a narcissist is they are always the victim, or the hero, but never the villain

[LMBOatU]

Getting tangled in a circular argument with a narcississt is one of the most draining things on earth. Its possible the argument will never end and you'll just end up confused and feeling like a horrible person.

[oliraceking]

I'm re-watching this video 48 hours after splitting from my partner whom I believe was narcissistic, but not pathologically so. To be reminded about trauma bonding was so useful as I've been wanting to reconnect with him already, despite 72 hours ago being suicidally low. I thank those who contributed to and produced this video, I'll use it as a reminder of what I went through and am working through... and I'm sending love to others out there struggling with this.

[kuribayashigio]

Fibromyalgia hit me like a truck during my last relationship, and when I started breaking free, it started stopping too. I cried so hard watching this. Thank you. I will never again forget how priceless freedom is.

"If someone in your life doesn't share your values and doesn't care about your feelings, then this is not a healthy relationships for you."

[daniellebeauty]

He always told me “you have no idea how nice I am to YOU.”

He tried to make me feel guilty for regular human decency.

I suffered severe anxiety and mental disorder 18 years ago as a teenage. Got diagnosed with OCD. Spent my whole life fighting OCD. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
