@claireauden: Low self esteem is the by product of an abusive relationship, not necessarily the rain for entering one. #narcissisticrelationship #narcissisticabuse #narcissistrecovery #traumabond #narcissisticrelationshiprecovery
Personally, I think it was a lot of projection on my part. I project my good intentions onto them, I’m sort of blinded to the idea that someone can be nefarious, cold, calculating etc because those things just don’t occur to me. So when situations happen I chalk it up to a mistake, or I misunderstood what they meant. Cheaters think people cheat, thieves think people are thieves and good people assume others are good too.

👏 like they say oh you must have been codependent, people pleaser etc 😏, but really it was just trauma attunement —always on edge, scanning for anger or withdrawal just to keep yourself emotionally safe."🙏

What I hear a lot is that people who end up with narcs had families who neglected them which is why they fall for the lovebombing. I was and am loved by my family. Being loved and valued was NORMAL for me so the two years with him before he showed me the demon under the surface, I thought I was getting the love I deserved.
