Narcissists often prioritize impressing strangers over taking care of their families and loved ones. They would rather be superficially viewed as being “good” rather than actually doing genuinely good things and being a genuinely good person.

Neglect, emotional abuse, & verbal abuse can be as devastating as physical & sexual abuse-- but the response of our culture tends to be VERY different. This can REALLY f*ck w/ survivors' heads & keep people from thinking of themselves as trauma survivors. You are, you know.

then, one day, it clicks

full of love but low on trust

It's hard to let yourself feel love-- either love for someone else, or love someone is expressing toward you-- when almost every important relationship in your life has convinced you you're gonna be hurt or abandoned. That reflexive caution isn't a "choice." It's conditioning.

heal anyway.

be proud of how you’ve been handling these past few months. the silent battles you’ve fought, the moments you had to humble yourself, the times you picked yourself up. celebrate your strength.

I'm sorry if someone made you think it's hard to love you.

I understand everything happens for a reason, but wtf bro.

A reminder

Remember

The best revenge is none. It's healing and moving on, so you don’t become like the people that traumatized you.

My relationship with anyone is literally a mirror of how u treat me. I don’t over play my part anymore. People take advantage of the good hearted.

I can relate to this.. can you?

I honestly feel like I come into peoples lives to show them unconditional love and they come into mines to teach me self love.

for real..
