[Ryan Daigler - Exposing Narcissistic Abuse 🚩🚩 @Ryan_Daigler]

There aren’t “two sides to a story“.
There’s the truth, and there’s the abuser’s attempt to distort the truth.

[Dr. Jen Wolkin | ADHD + Trauma Therapist @drjenwolkin]

Love comes with side effects. The most human one is grief. Where there is attachment, there is loss. Grieving is not a flaw but evidence of our capacity to bond, and a reminder that connection is what makes us profoundly alive. XO, Dr. Jen

The reason why some men want women like their mothers is that they grew up watching them break their backs for men who did the bare minimum without complaints.

They feel that's okay and that's the standard.

None of their sisters would wish for a man like their father, but the men will gladly wish for a wife like their mum, and we all know why.

[Kingmaker @MindHealthMaker]

You showed them what unconditional love feels like, they showed you why self-love matters more

[Kingmaker @MindHealthMaker]

Unfortunately, you can deny your childhood trauma all you want, but your romantic life will reveal the truth every time.

This sentence by Van Gogh hits hard:

“If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.”

[Niryā𓆰𓆪 @ZenAndFire]

No one has a victim complex like a man
Who thinks he's a good person

[ຸ @fvckfemi_]

people underestimate how much damage repeated small disappointments can do

[Nkeonyere @AdaAkokwa1]

A narcissist wants you to respect their feelings, ignore your own, understand their anger, excuse their cruelty, and apologise for reacting to it.

[Watermelon Daquiri 🍉 @_vimzzzz]

The man you say yes to and the man you end up living with can be two different people. I’m always saying, having a good partner is pure luck. There’s no technique that puts you above the program.

[Bethel @Bethelofenugu]

People underestimate how much damage repeated small disappointments can do.

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

Tolstoy’s advice to achieve a long term goal:

[𝓢𝓱𝓪𝔂𝔂𝔂 🧚🏾‍♀️✨✨ @_iamhershayyy]

not enough people talk about the burnout that comes from constantly dealing with unhealed adults. always being the bigger person. always managing their triggers while suppressing your own. always explaining basic respect and accountability to people stuck in survival mode. that kind of exhaustion is soul tiring. protect your peace before you lose yourself carrying what other people refuse to heal within themselves.

[Workplace Mental Health Resources @Stopworkplacebu]

Toxic bosses are terrified high performers will expose them as incompetent frauds.

So they will do anything they can to discredit those who do their jobs well, including resorting to stereotypes.

[Naume Gloria Olana @gloriaolana]

Pregnancy and child birth changes everything about a woman and in the entire process if you do not have an understanding and supportive partner, family, friends you can run mad. Something inside you just dies, I can't find the right words to explain it, just guard your wombs.

[Dr. Jen Wolkin | ADHD + Trauma Therapist @drjenwolkin]

STOP gaslighting yourself with the narrative that you’re “lazy” when the truth is you’re exhausted from the trauma and grief you’ve endured. XO, Dr. Jen
