a lesson i learned this year is that a person's capacity for growth is directly linked to how much truth they can face about themselves without running away
Men don’t cheat up, they cheat where they feel safe being mediocre. It was never about her looks, he just couldn’t handle a woman who was confident, beautiful, and out of his league. So he settled for someone who wouldn’t challenge him, wouldn’t expect more, and wouldn’t remind him of how little he brings to the table. That’s not a preference, ladies, that’s insecurity in action. And the worst part? He’ll gaslight you like you were the problem the whole time.
Narcissists make their own reality. They literally believe they’re amazing parents and loving spouses.
The truth is narcissists are pathological lying manipulative assholes who only care about themselves.
