@narcissimwithnina: Reactive abuse is one of the most misunderstood parts of narcissistic abuse. Here’s what happens ⬇️ 👉 The abuser provokes you with gaslighting, lies, insults, and control. 👉 Eventually, your nervous system hits a breaking point and you snap — yelling, crying, maybe even slamming a door. 👉 And then? They point to YOUR reaction as “proof” that you’re unstable, crazy, or even the narcissist. 📚 Evan Stark’s research on coercive control shows abusers deliberately create these situations. They want you to react so they can flip the script. 📚 Trauma research proves this isn’t “bad behavior” — it’s a fight-or-flight response. When you’re pushed past your limit, the amygdala hijacks your brain and survival mode takes over. 💔 Survivors walk away ashamed, Googling: “Am I the narcissist?” But here’s the truth: ⚡ Reacting to abuse does not make you abusive. ⚡ Your reaction was the effect, not the cause. ⚡ The difference between you and them? You felt remorse. They feel entitled. ✨ If this resonates, comment ENOUGH ⬇️ Or DM me TRUTH for resources to break the cycle and rebuild trust in yourself. #narcissisticabuse #narcabuse #reaactiveabuse #emotionalabuse #narctok
