How do you heal from narcissistic abuse and become a normal person?

I was raised like a servant to my dad. My mom taught me how to be incompetent. Growing up I have anxiety, no confidence in myself, depression, and lack of social skills. I feel so damaged beyond repair in my early 30s now. I have nothing going for me. No relationship, no career, nothing!

I thought the right way to fix myself is by going out there to live fearlessly and to have minimal contact with my narcissistic parents unless I absolutely have to.

You can do it.
See if your community mental health has life coaching.
You may need to break from parents,that's sad,but if you can't function around them a break might be needed.
Don't expect perfection,be willing to learn new ways of being,and it will be good.
One day and one step at a time.
