ARE YOU, OR HAVE YOU BEEN, IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE WHO MADE YOU CONSTANTLY
Question your reality through gaslighting?
Sacrifice your own needs and desires to prioritize theirs?
Feel scared, on edge, and as though you could do nothing right?
Experience humiliation and belittlement?
Feel paralyzed and unable to make decisions?
If you answered ``yes`` to some or all of these, you may be experiencing, or have experienced, narcissistic abuse.
WHAT IS NARCISSISTIC ABUSE?
While abuse—whether physical or emotional—can occur in any relationship, narcissistic abuse is characterized by a persistent pattern of manipulative behaviours, including humiliation, gaslighting, and guilt-tripping. These behaviours are often intentional, with the purpose of manipulating you to meet the narcissist’s needs and desires.
Narcissistic relationships often follow a pattern: an initial phase of admiration or ``love bombing`` (such as showering you with gifts or compliments), followed by periods of devaluation or discarding. If a narcissist appears remorseful, it is typically not genuine but rather a calculated attempt to regain control. Another hallmark of narcissism is a constant need for admiration and attention, often sought at any cost.
Experiencing narcissistic abuse over a prolonged period can:
Corrode your sense of self
Isolate you from your loved ones
Create ongoing and persistent anxiety or fear
Shatter your self-worth
Erode your well-being and may even contribute to autoimmune conditions
