Nobody talks about the angry stage of healing. The rage you feel when you realise how much and how long you were taken advantage of. The absolute disgust you feel towards the narcissist that harmed, misled, took advantage, and abused you!
The neurological damage of betrayal can cause early onset dementia, memory loss, symptoms of severe PTSD, psychosis, and permanent nerve damage.
Anyone with a soul knows betrayal is the lowest form of human behaviour.
Someone who uses your anger against you when your anger is justified due to their abuse is a person who is manipulative to their core. Beware of those who use your reactive outbursts against you. They will try to blackmail/gaslight you into believing that you're the true abuser.
Narcissistic abuse is not just that someone dumped you or who you had a little tiff with them. NA is psychological abuse and brainwashing using intermittent reward and punishment, coercive control and withholding normal empathetic, emotional reactions to lower your self esteem.
Your body rejects those who you are not meant to spend time with! All you have to do is listen. Do you feel uneasy? Do you feel safe? Your aura picks up on energies faster than your logical mind. Listen👂✨️
The narcissist will train you not to ask for anything. Every time you need something from them, it becomes a big deal, it's an ordeal, it's a drama! They make sure purposesly that you learn you, can't rely on them!
Narcissists only surround themselves with people who enable their behaviour, ignore their behaviour, or encourage their behaviour. Anyone who tries to hold them accountable will be accused and blamed of the exact things the narcissist is guilty of.
Narcissists confuse and insult you. Drive you insane and tell you you're crazy. Provoke and harass and then shame you for getting angry. Thry create all these scenarios to convince you that something is wrong with you, when the only thing wrong with you is being with them!
A trauma bond is suppose to be just as hard as drug addiction. I'm in my work toilets. My mouth feels dry and my chest hurts I feel like my whole body is burning up. I've reversed 2 years of healing in 1 weekend. I pulled the scabs off the wounds and now I'm bleeding.
If someone is willing to walk away from you without a conversation,
If someone is fine with hurting you and never giving a real apology,
If someone believed what they wanted to believe,
If someone doesn't value your words,
You don't owe this person anything except your SILENCE
When a Narcissists discards you. Pray for the discard 2 be permanent. It's the biggest blessing in disguise. It means they understand that U know who they really are! The mask was too exhausting 2 hide. They left because they needed a easier target, not cause U wasn't good enough
The worst pain is having no contact with the person you're still in love with, who, at one point of time, sent you texts that would make your heart melt. And now, you can only love them in silence from a distance. Slowly being forced to close this chapter to rebuild your life.
Cutting ties with someone who takes advantage of you and shows no concern for your well being is far less agonising than wasting more time attempting to make them value what they already disregarded. A fresh start is always possible, no matter how late it may seem 💓
Narcissists don't lack empathy they lack compassion, remorse, and humanity. Using cognitive empathy, the abuser is able to seek out and target individuals with highly compassionate, loving, and caring empathetic traits.

A note to anyone who needs to hear it: We don't "get over" or "move on" from our trauma. We are forced to make space for it. We carry it. We learn to live with it. And, sometimes, we thrive in spite of it.
I always thought that if I communicated enough, there would be change. But that's not the case. You can communicate until you run out of breath, but if there's no comprehension, your words are useless.
Recovering from a Narcissistic relationship is hard! I've had many good days where I've truly thought this relationship is behind me. But then there are the days when I get triggered. A place we used 2 go to. Music we used 2 listen to & your brain makes U think you want them back
🚩🚩🚩Red flags aren't always about the other person. When you start lying to yourself about who they are so that you don't have to face losing them, that's the flag to pay attention to.
A narcs manipulation is executed with such precision that the victim remains oblivious to their own victimhood until it's too late. The narcissists skillfully conceal their actions from the public, leaving the victim as the sole individual who recognizes their own victimization.
I've been torturing myself with finding out things I should have never known! Now I totally regret it. I'm sitting here in tears with more of a shattered heart than I think I already had. I don't know why I've done this to myself.
Toxicity is nothing to play around with as relationships with narcissists are deadly . You are literally playing with life or death with someone who intentionally causes you pain. You might not physically die, but the narcissist will spiritually & emotionally kill you if you stay
I was the girl who was there during his no job, no money, no princess treatment, his breakdowns, family problems, and I know I could have left and be -with whoever I wanted but I stayed because I believe in us and still got completely destroyed
Narcissists have an inflated sense of importance & seek admiration &attention from others.They manipulate & charm those around them, while masking their true intentions. Caught in the reflection of their own ego, they dance through life without a hint of remorse or accountability
I have attachment issues so instead of the "I'll leave before you leave me mindset it's"I'll stay until I hate you". I will forgive u until eventually I can't stand you anymore because I physically can't leave whilst I'm attached. Once I do tho ur never getting that love again
I've reached a point in my life where I can't be hurt anymore. But the scars of disappointment & pain still linger. I've felt every ounce of sadness & it's become a part of who I am. I'm tired of the hurt, but I keep pushing forward with the 1 goal to make myself happy everyday!
I saved his reputation by not telling my side of the story. I've learnt it's best to stay quiet during the storm. Holding someone's secrets even when they've done u wrong shows your good character & integrity. Bad people destroy themselves in the process of trying to destroy you
The person you see at the end of a relationship with a Narcissists is who they were along. Mine did so well at hiding his demonic side I literally felt like I was going 2 die of heart failure when he took the mask off. He was the complete opposite of who he protrayed himself 2 be
Disappear completely from the narcissist for the rest of your life, no exceptions. Erase the illusion you loved from your mind by fully accepting that your ex was a very sick creature, and the person you love/d was not a real person who really existed. Move on with your life!
You’re better off sleeping alone than waking up next to someone who shouldn’t even be in your home!
Don't allow loneliness to make you lower your standards of the people that have access to you and your energy. Make your lonely days the most enlightening days you’ll ever have.
I forgot how to be happy!I had spent the last few years surviving the truama & sadness of what I had been through. I took a break of social media to relearn myself. I actually liked the person I was before I met the Narcissist & I had to give myself time to find that person again
Delete conversations that hurt You whenever you read them. Delete phone numbers. Block contacts. Restrict. Mute. Unfollow. Remove Negative energy from your life. Do whatever it is that you need to do in order to heal and create a positive environment for yourself.
You shouldn't have to explain why you deserve to be spoken to with respect and treated with human decency. Do not allow anyone, even if it's someone you love, to talk down to you, hurt you, or strip you of who you are in order to gain power over you. That isn't love. It's control
As you grow, you learn that not everyone you love will love you in return. You realise that the people you support won't always support you. Then, you begin to accept that maturity entails losses and that growth is the revelation of the truth, eventually, everything changes.
Coming out of a relationship that was emotional abusive left me with anxiety and PTSD. The hardest journey I've been on is learning to re love myself again. Now that I've started dating again I will never be afraid to set high standards for myself or create healthy boundaries.
I use to wonder why people who were in emotionally abusive relationships didn't just leave! I use to b the person that would say it would never happen to me until I was tricked into one by a Narcissist. Emotional abuse I went through left me suicidal & in a consistent toxic loop.
Once you stop checking up on the Narcissist & finally get on with your life. The social media post they put out to subconsciously hurt you. The ones they know your watching. Yep they feel your presence gone. Let them feel like a person performing in a concert to empty seats!
The first step to healing is acceptance. Accept the true colors the narcissist has shown you, no matter who you thought they were or how they used to act
Stop romanticising people who are hurting you! Repeated mistakes aren't accidents. That's their behaviour, thats who they are
Don't ever feel stupid for loving someone who turned out to be everything they promised they would never be. But be proud that you still believe in the goodness of people, because that is rare. Don't let it harden you. Learn the lesson, but keep that soft heart.
I don't think I realised how terrible I was treated until I tried explaining it to someone else. I'm only putting myself in environments and around people who bring out the softness and the best of my character and not people or situations that have me in survival mode any more.
Before you get into the next relationship, take the break and heal. Don't be the traumatized person trying to enter into a relationship, hoping it'll be the solution to your problems. Take the break and heal 🫂 ❤️

I started counselling, which helped me to address my own issues first and how it was impacting my decision-making while being in a toxic relationship. I started to do things for myself, putting myself first. I think when ur healing, it's important 2 not concentrate on revenge
Unconditional love without boundaries is self-destruction. Just because you love them doesn't mean you should accept disrespect and be treated like a doormat. You gotta train your no to be stronger than your empathy. The bigger your heart is, the stronger the boundaries you need.
I want you to know that it's okay if you thought you were over it, but it hits you all over again.
It's okay to fall apart even after you thought you had it under control.
You are not weak.
Healing is messy.
There is no timeline for healing 🫂 ✨️
Looking at the comments so many of us have been through the same thing, and that makes me sad. I can only pray that we all make it and heal from our negative experiences. Meeting these sorts of people in life will really change how you preserve the world and the people in it.
My life got better when I realised I didn't have to be nice. Nice got me run over, stressed out, and disrespected.
I'm not nice. I'm a good person. There's a difference!
The person I trusted & loved the most, was the person who ended up betraying me, violated, disrespected, manipulated & lied on me in the worst ways possible. People I don't know have been set up against me. The aftermath of a narc relationship. Trauma feels at times, never ending
I've had the longest, hardest day at work. I've come home, finally got time to sit on my phone. I want to bust into tears I'm overwhelmed by every1 who messaged me & took the time to comment on my recent tweets. I appreciate all your advice and support. Thank you 🙏🏽💖 🤗
Things everyone (aka me) needs to come to terms with.
• No response is a response.
• If they wanted to, they would.
Timing will not always be in your favor.
• Not everyone has the same heart as you.
I remember my X

ghosted me 2 years ago while undergoing radiotherapy. Today I thank God for removing that person from life.There’s no doubt in my mind that I would be living a much more diminished life,if his actions, as cruel as they were,hadn’t forced me to wake up
If you don't value yourself, when people treat you badly, you think you deserve it. When a narcissist manipulates you, treats you badly, you begin to condition your mind that you deserve it. They don't just play with your mind but chemically they make your body become unbalanced.
Someone you love mishandling you. Watching them violate every bond you've formed, shatter every trust you've built, & betray your every confidence. Watching helplessly while someone you deeply care for repeatedly mishandles you until there is just no room left for genuine respect
I gave so many chances& forgave U too many times until I just couldn’t any more.
I wanted 2 believe- I tried 2 believe and I still ended up getting hurt.
When U pour yourself into someone U love, u always have faith that they’re doing their best not 2 hurt you. Sadly I was wrong
When I met the narcissist during the love bombing stage, I disclosed a traumatic time of my life years ago. When the narcissist discarded me, he opened every wound I thought I healed & then left me for dead! After a 4 year relationship, he just disappeared like we never existed.
When a narcissist discards you, it feels confusing and leaves you feeling unbelievably hurt & wounded. There will be times U just need to talk about what you have been through. Not to get sympathy or help, but just to kill its power by allowing the truth of things to hit the air.
One of the most underrated ingredients for having a good life is a clear conscious. To know you ain't out here doing people dirty, hiding who you are,or screwing people over let's you sleep peacefully at night.Karma is real,and energy is contagious. Live accordingly
#Narcissist
You won't meet certain people twice. Not everyone in life is disposable. Some people come into your life just to add value and not to take. As you wait for them, make sure you're adding value elsewhere, too, without expectations. Good always comes back around 💫
Narcissists lack empathy, emotional connection, and the capacity to love. Being in a relationship with these sorts of people will set you up for a life of a facade of lies, betrayal, and disrespect along with them seeing multiple sexual partners behind your back!
"I just want him to know how much he has hurt me"
Don't do what I use 2 do,sending messages 2 try &make the
#narcissist
understand.He knows.He knew when he did it&he does now he just doesn't care.Don't message him.Stop sending long paragraphs after he hurt U. Take ur dignity &run
Seeking revenge won't bring you relief or resolution. It only adds more hardship. Revenge is never the solution, no matter how much you've been hurt! You're better than that 🌟
Before you engage in an argument with a
#narcissist
remember they do not have the mental mentality to
grasp the concept of different perspectives. Don't waste your time, there’s no point! Save your energy and go no contact!
2024 is just around the corner guys. The best advice I could give anyone for next year⏰ 📆. Don't let anybody waste your time. Be intentional about your time and who you spend it with. Get aligned with your goals and be brave enough to make new choices 😉 💖
A mistake I am trying hard not to repeat, is allowing the feeling of loneliness to trick me into reconnecting with the ones who are guilty of making me feel alone.
Don't try and get the narcissist back after the discard. Just live your life and be happy. The narcissist goes through the same toxic cycles with everyone who crosses their path. They are secretive of past relationships because they dont want you to know how they break everyone!
Being stalked by the new supply of a narcissist is a crazy experience. If it's happens to you prioritize your safety and well-being. Take steps to protect yourself & adjust privacy settings. This morning the new supply tagged and untagged me in a picture of her and my ex! Yuk 🤮
To love another without first loving yourself will destroy you. Resentment will grow around your heart like vines as you give them what u aren't giving yourself. You will be devastated when it ends, because it will feel like they're taking a piece of you with them.
#Narcissists
are boring people.All they do is talk about themselves. They never listen. I’ve never met a narcissist that’s extraordinary.They are mediocre people. If they think you are outshining them, they become bitter and jealous🥱
