Any cost of disconnecting pays for itself real soon when you start experiencing peace and freedom from abuse! Anyone who believes the narcissist lies about you aren't worth it anyway.

[debragibbs]

The narcissist believes ANY thinking that is different from THEIR thinking/distorted reality IS "distorted thinking"!

No weapon formed against me shall prosper.

[Dr.Dark]

Just remember, no matter the cost of disconnecting from a narcissist, it is always worth the price in the end.

[andy.hello.]

Don't give a narcissist an inch ....give them nothing.

[anyways]

Grown people can't think for themselves, would rather talk about you than talk to you. Sneaky backstabbing cowards can have each other.

“The narcissist is a deranged individual.” That is a key truth.

[gazoo]

Do not let the Narc control you, no matter what. Its not worth it. Stand tall and be

I love the ending about love and peace. I am in the middle of breaking up and it's like a 4D chess game, and I just let him know I know everything he did. It's terrifying, but I needed to do that for my sanity. I want to keep focusing on the fact that this will end and I can have peace and stability again some day soon.

The world itself is saturated with narcissism from media to pharma to personal relationships to self doubt it’s quiet a lot to unravel I think that’s why people love animals so much.

It hurts when it’s family, your childhood friends and romantic partner. Woke up to narcissism 4 years ago. Thank God.

[everett]

It's a good feeling when you no longer care what they think or say about you. The high cost I had to pay was to get my mind back right after that chaotic, disturbing situation I was in, that I tried hard to save.
When I got tired of the hamster wheel, I jumped off and didn't look back. The work I did to restore my self esteem, self confidence and face and resolve my past issues was HARD but it was well worth the cost! Thanks to the Most High God and coaches like Dr. Carter. ❤

"Harsh". That sums it up. Cruel, dehumanization. When their messages seep into your psyche, they double down on their dosing and doling pain shots. Killers! They aim to rob your soul. Don't YOU take it out on YOU! This is the highest of costs, when all the collateral damage makes you self-doubt, self loathe, second guess all your abilities to move on. The strength you had before is still there, under those layers of pain, shock, trauma and sadness. From this day forward, dig down deep. Find yourself, find your good, and grow from it. My doctor told me it will take at least 3 years...Im approaching year 2, making progress, but triggered so easily...the pain remains...but striving for the daily gift available from God. The essence of love, dignity, civility, and respect.

I disconnected from my narcissistic mother in 2019. I have experienced so much lashing out and smear campaigns. Now 5 years later and my father and siblings don't speak to me any longer. They're convinced that they must protect our fragile, innocent mother.

[NikkiGRocksEver]

Yes there are high costs leaving the narcissist.
You will get through it if you persevere and don’t give up.

In the end, you will gain important things such as freedom from the abuse, peace of mind, your health, your self respect, your dignity, and fulfill your dreams, goals, and destiny.

[InvisibleWarrior]

Recovery is hard. There is just no way around it. But it still beats the hell out of the alternative which is accepting abuse for the rest of your life. Keep on keeping on folks!

[rascallyrabbit]

the narcissist is a deranged individual ... perfect

[douaa]

Being free from the narcissist
Creating your opportunities is priceless
Staying true to yourself 🙏🏻

[ambds]

And it isn't worth trying to defend yourself. :( it's like a finger trap, the more you struggle, the worse it gets.

[taniadolphy]

I ghosted the narcissist in my life. It seems to have worked for me. Hopefully, that person stays away forever.
