Have you ever had a close relationship (friend, family, partner) with a narcissist?

@WildHeart sorry for whatever you had to go through. 10 years is pretty long. Happy that it’s long gone and you’re happy with your kids 🤗

@SW-User Name change I see :)

Thank you for that heartfelt response.

@WildHeart yes. Change is constant. Lol

You’re welcome. Everyone go through trauma in life. I can relate to it. Mine no way close to yours. Take care. :)

@muffinman it is imperative to exit if you can

@AliceMortem suppose so … hope everything works out for you. :)

Yeah like your hurting them or your doing things wrong and it’s their way which is the only way to do things and then they act like it’s the end of the world if it isn’t done their way and they really go to town with that emotion@AliceMortem

@Teggy You're exactly right! Even if you do things the way they desire, they will still pick fault with it, or completely flip it around and pretend you're doing the opposite of what they asked even though you know you aren't

@AliceMortem it’s a fast track ticket to your own personal mental issues like anxiety and depression if it’s a parent 😖

@SW-User Exactly, and it doesn't matter what you do for them you're never good enough

@Kayana They will never take responsibility for their actions

@AliceMortem Exactly. ☝ OR they cry and throw tantrums. Always trying to make you feel guilty. Sucks to deal with a narcissist. The mind is not open and the heart is not kind. Twisted mind. Drives me crazy.

@Novaturient81 They actually remind me of toddlers. Very self centered and unable to deal with criticism/always have to have all the attention and praise. It's like their brains stopped developing as a child when it comes to emotion etc

@AliceMortem Dang. They're tiring. Harder to deal with when they're family or close friends.

@Columbianpoppies it is, and often wrongly used

@Mrsbetweenfatandfit It's mentally and physically exhausting. Studies show you're more likely to get diseases dealing with narcissists long term as well

@AliceMortem if you can avoid them all together that’s best. If not limiting your time can help
