Giving Just the Bare Minimum to Manipulate

Have you ever felt like you were being led on by a narcissist, only to be left confused and hurt?

Tune in to hear the perspective of a self aware narcissist. That’s me - Ben Taylor a narcissist in recovery trying to promote awareness, healing, growth and change. I do that by these videos on here, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook.

Platforms I am on:

Such a pointless, exhausting and empty existence.

My Narcissists didn't use real Bread for their Crumbings they used old stale moldy moth-eaten dollar-store cardboard Genuine Imitation Garlic Crouton relics from 1946 rubbed out between their hands like flour so most of it flew away like dust in the wind. "Dust in the Wind" KANSAS circa era 1977

Honestly, my heart still goes out to narcissists. Like, it saddens me. I fluctuate between feelings of understanding the nature of the abuse and feeling sad for them.

Helpful video whilst waking up to the realisation that it was all a manipulation of my reality to suit his fantasy.

[tinababy]

He was breadcrumbing until I called him a scheming, cheating, manipulative, narcissistic, pathological liar. He literally disappeared. Crickets. Lol.

Waiting for him to buy us a house, spend more time with me, do more stuff together, have goals together, do keto together, take fun trips and buy a friggin couch!

Yeah he'd do this but the "trail" got shorter and shorter till it was basically just one little pathetic piece. Then it got really obvious to so once it got recognizable it rarely worked unless i just wanted to play along and didn't have the strength to argue about it. But i always knew he was up to something...once i caught on.

35 years in, with my narcissistic spouse. Hope is the catalyst that I tend to hold on to. Being married since you were in your 20's, now in my 60's, life moves so fast. Nothing the narc has ever said has come to past. Liar is the best descriptive definition for who and what my husband is as a person. I however am just as lacking as the narc. I am still here. What does that say about my level of mental health. Frankly nothing positive. Abuse, infidelity, financial and real abound. I am alone other than with the Narc. I genuinely do not see a better life in my future. How sad am I.

My sympathies on the mouse! I had that problem several years ago.

[Dragonwithagirltattoo]

Even better when they do this and then give it to someone else effortlessly.

[tinababy]

I didn’t mean to say that. I became so angry that he kept coming back through different means despite making myself clear that he needed to leave me alone. It really started to piss me off.

My nEx did this all the time!! Do you realize what you're doing or is it some sort of defense mechanism for your ego??

How about when things are going good I think my husband is hurting me o purpose. Trying to move on after his secret cheating life and things go great and he does thing o purpose breaks my boundaries
