Manipulative tactics can often be subtle and hard to recognize. Insults, intimidation, isolation, monitoring, manipulating, gaslighting, and physical or psychological abuse were just some of the warning signs of coercive control. https://t.co/t1If5vRmnn

https://t.co/fLGHCh16i8 A narcissistic mother sees her kids as extensions of herself. To her, everything the kids do reflects on her. She makes everything about her. The kids are satellites who learn at a young age that they must contribute positively to their mother’s image.

COPIED FROM JOE BECIGNEUL: THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO TICK SOME PEOPLE OFF, AND I HOPE IT DOES. BUT I’M GOING TO KEEP ON SHARING IT AND SAYING IT. AND ONCE AGAIN, I AM NOT A SWIFTIE, BUT I AM A HUMAN BEING, A DAD AND, A MONSTROUS FOOTBALL FAN.
I am extremely disappointed in so many of you who think that "not being a fan" of someone means you're entitled to shit all over them.
I want to remind you of something.
Your children are watching you complain about Taylor Swift sitting at a football game, being happy, and cheering for a man she loves in what appears to be a very loving, respectful relationship.
Your Children are watching you judge a woman for literally just EXISTING and taking up space happily.
And you know what? Ms. Swift has won 324 awards? How many do you have?
She brought $5 BILLION dollars in consumer spending and boosted the U. S. economy so significantly, that leaders from other countries actually beg for her to play there?
Did you know that there are over 20 college courses about her skills as an artist, lyricist, and musician - including at places like Harvard, Stanford & UC Berkeley?
Did you know that Taylor Swift quietly donates mass amounts of money to local food banks in every city she performs in?
AND DID YOU KNOW …
That Taylor Swift was sexually assaulted by a radio DJ, and she got him fired? When he sued HER for over $3 million for defamation, she counter sued for a symbolic $1 in a court case that took 2 YEARS for her to win. And, she did that just to show women that fighting for what's right has no price tag & to never be silent in the face of oppression.
WELL IF YOU DON’T CARE BY NOW, YOU SHOULD.
Because your daughters, nieces, and your nephews are watching you run your mouth. And they are seeing the world hate a woman who does so much good, simply because she exists in their line of sight.
DO BETTER PEOPLE.
Teach your boys to respect women. Teach your girls that as women - they are ALLOWED to take up space.
Fix it. Become aware of your words. Because we all have the ability and the obligation to fight for the future of our children with simple moments. And we need to consciously choose to be better for them.

It’s a place to begin healing and moving forward.

Emotional abuse can take many forms, including making someone feel worthless or unsafe, humiliating them, calling them names, attempting to control them, isolating and gaslighting. To protect ourselves, let’s talk about how to identify abusive individuals.https://t.co/VckKCNacDQ

Those of us who grew up in an atmosphere of blaming, shaming, and humiliating, intimidating, manipulating, mocking consistently got the message that everyone else’s needs were more important than our own. #narcissist #narcissisticabuse #emotionalabuse #narcissism #gaslighting

https://t.co/p0UQrcdwTK Have you ever thought about the impact of someone’s toxic behavior on your life? I have. If you have too, you might have noticed the negative consequences caused by their distorted perspectives. But what if you transformed them into something positive?

GASLIGHTING: PLANTING THE SEEDS OF SELF DOUBT https://t.co/tdEweTX5m6

[Diane Metcalf, M.S.I.T. @MetcalfDiane]

Gaslighting grants significant control over an individual. It reduces their ability to think critically, leaving them feeling unsure of their reality. It is a most treacherous form of manipulation because it undermines one’s core sense of self. https://t.co/G3s5PWzYAY

If you’re being emotionally abused, there will be times that you’ll need to appear indifferent to the abuser’s words or actions to protect yourself and deny them any narcissistic supply.
