    They show small doses of toxicity to see if you're paying attention and if you're strong enough to deal with them, it's like a child who pushes the envelope to see just how much they can get away with before you correct or redirect them. And if you continue to let them get away with it, they think you're ok with the abuse..that's why the 1st time you catch on, set the boundary, If they break it, walk away...No 2nd chances...

      I've known a few women who flaked or made up lame excuses to not meet up or call me back when meeting up or talking on the phone was their idea. Some of them I suspect are covert narcissists because of other bad things they did to me and others.

      Omg, this is so relatable. She told me I can go on a date tomorrow. I asked her that morning, what time are you available. She ignored me all day. I said at end of the day, okay I guess not today. She immediately responded like nothing happened. Sorry, not today😊 I said it takes a few sec to respond. She excused. I said I don't play games, don't act like a 16 year old or something. She went mad and told me she knows who to go for not responding on me asking if she was available on another day. Then I send her a memo saying I really wanted to date and excused for calling her childish.

    Yes they do test you with what is called narcissistic rage ……. This is the stage where the narcissist starts hating you more and has lost interest in you. Narcissists are unable to tolerate your presence because your presence makes them angry and frustrated. You are considered the most horrible person; narcissists will treat you like you did nothing for them in a relationship. Whatever you did in a relationship will never be considered.
    Narcissists love bombing new supplies. Narcissists don't want you to come close to them. Narcissists will pick up fights to give you silent treatment or will force you to leave them. This is the stage where narcissists are planning to leave you to focus on new supplies. The true face of narcissists is revealed when narcissists find new supplies. Narcissist is looking forward to replace you. I faced this …. In my relationship…. It’s like ???? What did I do to deserve that…. Questioning & thinking 🤔 did I just do something wrong… No not really….. but do you know what I saw this anger & hate in her face …. It was like a totally different person who I met ….. where she was kind helpful… but her mask started to slowly slip off…. & It was like ???? What the heck just happened her…. This is my only first experience with Narcissist… so yes I will put this down to bad experience… & continue to live my life ❤ with love support i will say that no doubt in my own mind If I would have carried on with this person… my mental & physical health would have been seriously affected…. At least now I can fully rebuilt my life … & put this horrible experience behind me…. But for a Narcissist they will always live they are lifes like a circus 🤡 clown … I Shall call them the street entertainer…. With there clown mask.. on

      If you listen to AM, they screw up on us, then they are totally unable to realize their mistake, they are emotionally dysregulated, and get angry without any good reason, for they are angry not being able to use and control others. They cannot apologize like normal people, and think everyone is out to get them, even you. I think they 'know' you did nothing wrong, but they cannot show or admit they lost their mask or cool. They will find new supply where it will happen again, or you might try contacting them, but they won't want to admit or talk about what they 'did', for they can't admit they lost control (of themselves). THus in my case at an impass with him as to what to do. I want to reach out, but I am afraid like he is.

    He went silent after I challenged him, I was not surprised, but I had been super polite in my manner, but still. The silence was going to make me second guess myself but then, he came back suggesting he had been in an accident or something. Don't think I believe him, but he had to look strong, like he wasn't affected by my 'words'. He was testing me for sure. I had to show my own strength and I will continue, it is the only way with them.

    • @janebraun4482
      @janebraun4482 8 місяців тому

      Not really calling him out, I was just be objective about what he was suggesting or expecting of me as not appropriate. He came back with just I love you. For me that's nice but huh? I had told him I was not feeling too great and dealing with some stuff, seems he didn't listen. Two week later I texted, but he had left me or read for over 2 weeks now. He saw an SM post I came back to edit or delete, but he erased it for me, also not appropriate, it was not bad what I wrote but he was triggered. Now He likely cannot answer my text, for 'what he did' as really striking at a woman this way, just like a sudden total discard. I want to text, just to tell him, allow me to edit or delete my own words, but, I am afraid, he won't even read it again. All of my good tossed out for one 'bad'? I, we all should be able to defend ourselves.@@alexwamser4571

    But later met a good woman who i now have been married for 29 years.
    We both right from begginning did at least one thing to be consider munipulating.
    I went to her house and i setting in living room alone, a young man whom her daughter was friends with and now wife was in kitchen , she was spending time teaching him asian cooking, I was there for an hour, I say’s to me self, b.s. and queitly left out front door,
    Then she called and started crying.
    I explained, i really was not there anyway, I aint letting any one disrespect me that way.
    So i donot in our case think either of us was being narssist, and i say this for newbies to jounal and donot be to quick to aay narssist.

As if nothing happened..??? She tried to go through the whole process of making her look as if she’s been the one who suffered…? Turns out we had the biggest argument ever.. I had the upper hand… put in her place for good.. she’s still in her not so good position… cause of the fact that she’s been in a relationship with someone.. secrets that I’m not to know… I’ve known for some reason that she’s not telling the truth about it … one of her friends that she had confidential talks with.. now a enemy of hers… told me of some of her actions…

    Here's a wacky one, my ex fiance, her mother is a narcissist and has my ex and my kids live with her, that dynamic was hell and even broken up still is to an extent, I'm in a rlationship with her daughter but I had to be present and available for HER MUM all the time, live by her rules, if you make a mistake punishment was instant removal of being allowed in her home or car, well that made life totally untenable because it was like living on borrowed time constantly. The gaslighting, the weaponizing of anything I'd told her about myself/family, the nitpicking of what I do/wear/say or how/why it was said, constantly having to be on guard to it or get blind sided and boom I'm on my home. I'm also autistic and she hated that, she found my autism both tiresopme and disingenous unless she was telling me how my genes were defective which then meant it was totally a real thing and made me a shitlord because I "gave" my son autism.... I could rant on and moan, that wasn't my intent here, I just wanted to highlight a rarely talked about subject that I think is probably way more common than it seems. I call it Ms Havishamism, because my ex's Mum uses her daughter to be able to get new people to punish, all my ex's freinds have left her because of it, she has very few mates now and obviously she gor rid of me when I stopped giving her the enjoyment of suffering for her and now she's begun on my son, they kicked him out his home at 12 years old as punishment and sent him to my place and asked me to make it hell for him.... I made it the best 2 days of his life, he had a great time, I'm no one's lacky or torturer especially my own kids, horrible woman.
