Digging deep into this narcissism shiz

I only realized in the past year or two that my Mom and older brother are narcissists. In a clinical sense. I know this word gets tossed around a lot but it's a real thing . I know we all have characteristics of narcissism in some way blah blah blah ...but I refuse to invalidate my experiences to make others comfortable...I'm not saying I'm petfect by any means ...I'm far from it ...but I won't not talk about it ...I will talk about it as I see fit . It makes sense to me per choices I've made in my past ....I just need some place to put this thought ....I don't want or need pity ...I just need to get these thoughts out of my head so I can move on ...

@OlderSometimesWiser I used to not want to talk about it ..
But if I can talk about it ...it means I'm healing from it and it means that it no longer plays center stage in my psyche ... maybe it means something different to others but that is what it means to me
@catastrophecarnival Sounds like talking about it helps clear the deck of the negative, which makes more room for the positive. And that’s a wonderful thing. 🙂
@OlderSometimesWiser That's my plan
