Npd Quotes

“Concerning the narcissist- after having been so seemingly incredibly loving and gentle, compassionate and caring- it would be like a light switch had suddenly been turned off and “all of a sudden” they simply did not care. They turned into a cold person, someone without love, compassion, empathy or regard for the subject’s feelings what so ever. It’s like they suddenly and literally stopped being human.”

“Have you ever noticed that a narcissist could do terrible things to you and by morning it's as if nothing happened. This is so confusing to the victim experiencing these 180 behaviors. It's grooming you that are required to forgive and forget and never discuss it again. In contrast if you do something to offend them, they become hyper focused and never let you forget.”

“In narcissistic abuse recovery you will raise your awareness of bad behavior. You will see people’s actions through a lens of protection and no longer tolerate drama and lower vibrational energy vampires. Of course knowing red flags is important but tapping into and listening to how someone makes you feel, is the key to happiness. A drama free zone must be the protection you deploy. If someone causes you to run to others to try to understand their behaviors, this relationship is not healthy for you. We need no labels, we need no proof they are a narcissist, you need to listen to your gut, and you need courage to walk away. No drama equals peace. Drama equals confusion, sadness, and fear.”

“One day you may get angry at yourself. Angry for staying, angry for allowing bad behavior without a stronger fight, and angry for not knowing exactly what this was. Getting angry at yourself is a stage you must go through as you look for answers. Anger propels change, without anger victims stay or allow them back. Your goal should be to move through the anger and not stay in anger too long.”

“HEARING THE NARCISSIST IN YOUR HEAD The voices, the words, and the devaluing messages will haunt you. At first you may hear the good promises or things they said that were seemingly loving. You cling, wishing they were true again. These messages are holding you to them. Other times the internal messages become haunting words. 'You are no good', 'you can't do anything right', 'you are not good enough'. These messages internalize as truths until we heal and accept the truth. They were lying to keep you controlled.”

“The scapegoat is the family punching bag. On a daily basis, you are singled out for all of the collective ridicule, made into the butt of every joke, and excluded from family events, holidays, and important legal matters. It doesn't take long for outsiders or other relatives to take note of your role and to be drawn into the destructive dynamics. Family scapegoats are belittled, humiliated, battered, rejected, betrayed, and treated poorly. It's a clear case of psychological abuse, manipulation, and harassment.”

“The narc has been living in denial of their humanity and normal vulnerable feelings for so long there is an entire life time of unexpressed, repressed emotions rotting in the depths of their psyche. This is why they cannot stand to be alone. In that stillness they start to notice the stink coming up from the basement.”

“As a child of a narcissistic mother I was never told I could do anything right. Disapproval was the “normal” of my life, I was never taught to believe in myself, nor was I guided to better choices. I was alone in figuring out life. Deep inside my self-esteem was uncertain and unsure, on the surface I looked confident because I was told to act that way.”

“The concern with sibling rivalry is when it turns into sibling abuse. The core root of sibling abuse is the intent to harm and control the other sibling. Instead of it being a periodic incident, the abuse becomes a repeated pattern. This could carry on for months, years, and even decades. Or it could last a lifetime.”
