This is exactly what I need. Great post. I've been making myself small everyday for everyone, and I feel I have NO SELF. How is one supposed to live without a SELF???? TO STAND IN MY TRUTH too? I agree, Lady, no more shrinking!! I found this woman on FB and YouTube, called Memaw Talks. She makes advice videos and they talk about similar issues you posted here. I learned more from a few of her videos than I did a year in therapy!! 🪻

@Coralmist Now you got it! 🙏 🙌 Narcissists are good at making one feel that way. They program their victims. You're making great progress. Keep it up. You have EVERY RIGHT to be free and not infringed upon. Only a person like the narcissist, who has an extreme alter ego, thinks they have the right to control others, thinks like that.

Maybe this one will help you as well. You know sometimes it really does take a person who can look at the situation from the outside in, to help others. While you're in a mess, it's hard to be objective and see things for how they truly are.

@LadyGrace This was very eye opening. Thanks my friend. I think that's a huge part, that the narcissist wants CONTROL of you, and you absolutely become brainwashed. They twist your words, reality etc so that you believe you are defective. Yet THEY are the manipulator, enjoying every second of power they can unleash. It's why I'm quiet and make myself small .. thanks again for your insight 🐞

Yes!!! It's odd that you said that, because I just wrote an article about that very thing, this afternoon. Congratulations! You have found the victory and it will serve you well.

I’ve always chosen myself, but it didn’t win me any popularity contest.
