Breakups hurt, yeah. But you know what hurts even more? Staying. Staying and trying to “make it work” with someone who has shown you over and over that they don’t value you, don’t prioritize you, and don’t care about your feelings. Begging for bare minimum. Hoping they’ll change. Ignoring the proof right in front of you. That kind of pain drags out way longer than a breakup ever could. Sometimes the real heartbreak isn’t losing them it’s realizing you stayed too long trying to convince someone to love you the right way. THAT’S what really hurts.
Stop sending long paragraphs & messages explaining how you feel, just don't say anything. I've learned that it doesn't matter what you say, if they don't care they just don't. And nothing you say will change that. Keep your guard up. Don't waste your time & energy.
i hope i never date a narcissist again. My feelings were invalidated all the time. Everytime i spoke up on how i felt, it would be an argument. Everything i did was wrong but they was always right and doing everything "perfectly". I would react to how they would treat me and they would call me crazy & childish... shiiiitttt looking back at that situation that person made me get out of character so many times & hurt me the most. MADE ME LOOK LIKE THE BAD GUY. AND nos the disrespect i dealt with is crazy.
