Grandiosity. Lack of empathy. Lack of self reflective capacity. Validation seeking. Projection. Denial of responsibility. Arrogance. Gaslighting.

I call this “tribe gaslighting” – when other people around the narcissist (who may be in the position of seeing only one side of the narcissist) – actually doubt your experience because THEY did not have it. This empowers the narcissist and disempowers you.

If you are in a relationship with a narcissist, you may find that your partner doesn’t support your mental or emotional growth. This is likely because your growth triggers their fear of abandonment.

3 signs a loved one is suffering narcissistic abuse:
1. They seem more withdrawn or sad
2. They don’t talk about their relationship
3. They look unwell or like they aren’t taking care of themselves
Look for a combination of these signs & a *change* from their past behavior.

People who suffer chronic gaslighting may slowly begin to destabilize and become stuck in a very toxic relationship for a long period of time. This is because they believe something is wrong with them instead of seeing that their partner is doing this to them.

When searching for a narcissistic abuse therapist, I recommend avoiding anyone who says you can heal within a certain amount of time. For a lot of my clients, healing has been a long journey and you don’t want to fall into the trap of self-criticism/comparison. Via

The point is that narcissistic folks are spoiled children on their birthdays and the rest of us can’t win -no matter what we do for them - it’s not enough (and they have no problem forgetting our birthdays!).

At
#SXSW
many had questions about how much bad behavior a person must exhibit to be considered a
#narcissist
.
As a general rule, if you’re dealing with 15+ of these traits with someone in your life, then you're likely dealing with a narcissist.

With toxic relationships & narcissistic abuse, our bodies are actually a little smarter than our brains. Our bodies usually feel that something isn’t right; yet our brains try to push us through the discomfort.

A lot of people have taken that fairytale and they’ve injected it into their lives saying if I love him enough, if I’m sweet enough, if I’m this enough, if I’m that enough, then I’ll please him and he‘ll go from being a raging beast to a prince. It is never going to be enough.
