And like Miley Cyrus said:
“I didn’t talk badly about you—I talked about what you did to me. If that makes you look bad, that’s not my problem anymore.”
When I see the moves I do elsewhere, I only take it as a compliment. If somehow I inspired people to use them, I can only be grateful.
Besides, seeing the OWA on the WM ring was kinda neat, right? It’s all good with me!
A narcissist will be horribly abusive and hurtful to you, I’m talking about screaming and getting you emotional and not backing down until you are screaming back in anguish, maybe things are being thrown, until it becomes a nightmare so dark you feel like this one emotional expenditure has changed you permanently and you’re crying and angry and depressed and you can’t stand the hell you’re living in and don’t understand why…and then the next day they act like nothing happened — and expect you to go along with it.
No acknowledgment. No apology. No accountability.
Just a reset.
It’s coercion.
They know what they just put you through. They also know you’re exhausted and you just want one calm day.
So they offer you exactly that — accept the reset and get some peace today, but you’re also telling them they can abuse you like that and act like its normal. There’s something deeply humiliating about it — an unspoken contract where you forfeit your own humanity in exchange for one quiet day. A transaction the sadistic narcissist relishes.
