I’m sorry to hear your ex was a narcissist; if it’s any consolation, mine was too.
Covert-malignant? BPD with high-conflict tendencies? Check check. I’m a recovering co-dependent so it figures — wait seriously, you too?
Okay, this is just weird.
What are the chances we should meet randomly on this algorithmic subscription-based platform? It’s like some strange force wanted to bring us together so our shadow selves could bond.
Wild guess: Your ex told you that you were the real narcissist, right? Ha, I knew it! That’s one of their stock moves. Narcissists always think they’re the real victim and the other person is the narcissist. That’s how they escape ever having to be accountable or learning from their mistakes. If they actually looked at themselves they’d have to confront their own deeper feelings of insecurity and emptiness. So instead they just blame self-aware people like us, feeding off our love the way vampires feed on mortal blood. It’s called narcissistic supply process, don’t take it personally. You were just their ego validation source for a while.
Wait. You. Are. Kidding me… I was just about to say I’m a mother-wound survivor with self-diagnosed ADHD too! How many of us can there actually be?
Tell me everything, I’m curious. Unlike your narcissistic ex, I actually feel your pain. This pub is a safe space; first date etiquette doesn’t apply to non-normatives like us. Hearing about what a grandiose bitch your ex was is helping me to understand what a sensitive feminist you are. And also forgive myself by finding new and interesting ways to hate my own exes’ guts. Win win!
Seriously? Who told you that? You don’t sound petty or bitter to me all all.
Sorry to tell you this but narcissists are clearly your shadow type. Dating apps are full of them after all,
