Narcissists can be like parasites that attach themselves to you...

Empathy is good, but too much empathy can be exploited by narcissists...

It can be difficult knowing you're being gaslit when you're in the thick of it. Here's some signs you're being gaslit by a narcissist...

I fell in love with this quote:

No revenge. Their biggest punishment is who they are.

Some people never face themselves, and that becomes their pattern and their prison. You do not have to carry anger to prove you were hurt.
Protect your peace, heal, and let your life be the closure.

I just want to thank God in advance for it all.

For the things I’ve been praying for in silence, for the doors that are about to open, and for the peace that’s making its way to me. I’m thanking Him for the blessings I can’t see yet but already feel in my spirit. For the connections that will align, the opportunities that will find me, and the strength to keep going until they do.

I know everything I’ve been waiting for is already on its way, and I don’t have to worry about how or when. I just want to stay ready, stay grounded, and keep my heart open for what’s next. God’s timing has never failed me, and it won’t start now.
So I’m thanking Him in advance for what’s coming and for what’s already unfolding behind the scenes.

can't be submissive to a man that doesn't make you feel safe enough to be you. you're constantly in defense mode, your energy is withdrawn, your mind is anxious about what will happen next. there's no compliant heart in that environment, you just grow more indifferent with time

[Elizabeth Shaw - Overcoming Narcissist Abuse. @CoachElizabethS]

The toxic monster you saw in the end is who they are.
Never doubt yourself again when they play nice.

[🔮✨ @TheOracleReadsU]

Be careful what you tolerate. You're teaching people how to treat you. Every favor you do while running on empty, every disrespect you laugh off, you’re writing the manual on how they’ll handle you. Then you wonder why your time isn’t respected. Truth is, you taught them not to.

[Narcissisms.Com @JonRhodesUK]

Narcissists rarely give closure. So you're better learning about narcissism, as this will give you more closure than the narcissist ever will...

[Lottie Lewis @LottieHistory]

Imagine calling yourself a feminist and throwing away a close mentorship with one of the world's leading feminist campaigners just because you didn't like her refusing to pretend men can be women. She'll regret it even more in middle age.

I wish more people understood that not all autism is visible, but all autism is disabling.

If you don't see it, it's because we're actively hiding it. (Not for us, for others.)

But hiding our autism means our needs are also invisible. And unmet needs = inner turmoil. 😣

[Immortal Tessy @TheresaArueyin1]

God has already given you authority in the name of Jesus.

He’s not waiting to speak over your life — He’s waiting for you to declare His word. The power is in your mouth.

[Immortal Tessy @TheresaArueyin1]

David messed up, but he still prayed. Peter denied Jesus, but he still prayed. Don’t let guilt keep you from God.

[🔮✨ @TheOracleReadsU]

One of the loudest scars of childhood trauma is not knowing how to walk away from abusive people. Instead of leaving, you overanalyze every detail, convinced their behavior must be your fault. Truth is, your nervous system was trained to tolerate chaos instead of choosing peace.

[Libriscent @libriscent]

Narcissists and psychopaths develop an unhealthy fixation and obsession with people who they can't control, people who are unpredictable, people who surpass them, people who stand up to them, and people who evoke their envy. They fear these people so they try to manipulate and destroy them to regain control. However, such people are often protected by the universe in ways they cannot understand. Any attempt to take from and violate these people will only result in the narcissist's exposure.
