  • It's getting a lot easier. I have a dream the world will one day know what this is. A core element of how it is maintained is now illegal in the U.K. and Ireland (coercive control) so the days are numbered for the tipping point to be reached.
  • This picture is a stunning reminder of how different psychopaths are and how strong our tendency to project our way of viewing the world is onto them. @neuroinstincts
  • This is a very good way of putting it. I recently read a book by a neuroscientist and psychologist who studied psychopaths and the changes in different parts of their brains in response to facial expressions of others. Their responses to expressions of fear and anxiety was abnormal. Did you ever show shock/pain/fear and it registered as absolutely nothing to the narcissist you were with--he or she just gave you a blank stare as if you were telling them what you had for lunch at work? There is a lack of emotional empathy. They don't feel it when you feel these emotions. The only thing they feel is perhaps victimized themselves. Why? Your emotions feel like a criticism of their core sense of self. They can't stand the idea that they've done something wrong. If you want to be around them, they will flip the script and demand you stop being emotional despite the absolutely outrageous things they did to elicit those emotions. #narcissistabuse #narcissisticabuserecovery #npd #psychopath #sociopath

  • This is the best list of 2019 goals and reminders for survivors I have seen. @dont_gaslight_me_bruh #narcissistabuserecovery
  • My partner in crime today. He has not really left my side since I returned from Christmas holiday. Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a peaceful day. ❤
  • Love this! Let's walk into 2019 with this idea in our hearts. @lifeafternarc
  • First of all, good for Cardi B for telling him to get his ass off the stage while she was doing her show. That was her night and he tried to pull his hoover and make it about him. Second, I wouldn't personally call her weak if she did take him back because I've been there. Plus, we put women in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation in society. Seriously. She would be getting criticism no matter what. And for what? He's the one that cheated and then went up on stage like an idiot. Well then.
  • This is both sad and validating. ❤
