Things About Narcissists You Should Know
They use people to boost their ego and get what they want.
They discard you when you are no longer useful to them.
They rarely form genuine friendships- there is usually an agenda.
They often love bombing, devalue, and then discard.
They don't care about your feelings and never take responsibility.
They are often secretly jealous of you.
They may pretend to be charming and likeable, but it's a mask.
They play the victim and blame others to avoid accountability.
They exploit your kindness, use manipulation and guilt to keep control.
They can be arrogant, condescending, and believe they are always right.
Their biggest fear is being exposed for who they really are.

You are allowed to be both grateful for your survival and tired of how much you had to survive.

You are a survivor and that is something to be so proud of. It takes so much courage to move forward toward healing.

Abuse can only thrive in secrecy.

So use your voice.
Speak your truth.
Write your story.

You do not have to stay silent to protect someone else's comfort, false reputation, or lies parading as truth.

And if you can't scream it from the rooftops, whisper it.

But whatever you do, do not let anyone silence you ever again.

Watching this happen to someone else on a national scale hasn't been easy.

If you want to figure out who the bully is and who the victim is, notice who stands alone. The victim is frequently isolated, whereas the bully is backed by a crowd that laughs and enables it.

Processing the reality of another human harming you, especially one you trusted, takes time, and the time it takes is different for every #survivor.

#CPTSD #PTSD #trauma #healing #survivorstrong #abusesurvivor #traumasurvivor

Talking about what happened, what it means, how it affected you - that's NOT a "victim mentality." Putting words to it, trying to understand it, connecting with others who've also been impacted - those are all constructive, proactive steps.

It's the OPPOSITE of "staying stuck."

- Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays

Hey. I know it's hard. Thanks for sticking with it.

#depression #CPTSD #PTSD #mentalhealth #stay #hope #survivorstrong

Please never forget how brave it is to wake up and choose to stay.

Not the big loud choice. The quiet one. Your brain may still ask why you bother some mornings. You stay anyway.

#CPTSD
There is a moment in my recovery that haunts me still.
It is not the long inventory of parts ofme that I lost.
It is the realization
that I was the one to cut those parts away to survive.

A last note in September is #CPTSD awareness month.

To all those who fight to just live -
I hope you know that doing the work, as hard as it is, as exhausting as it is, as much as it hurts sometimes is a form of self-love.

Just in case no one told you today, I'm proud of you and you're doing a great job.

Narcissists don't work on themselves. They only go to therapy to attempt to manipulate the therapist to DARVO their victims and make false apologies. The behavior won't change.

You are not an energy source for people who refuse to do their inner work.

Reminding myself today to meet myself with compassion and turn my anger into determination to do the work to heal. Let it challenge and grow me.

Right now I, your greatest responsibility is getting your life back on track and becoming the strongest, healthiest version of yourself. Don't waste your energy worrying about who stays, who leaves, who understands you, or who changes. This chapter is about choosing yourself. Heal your mind, rebuild your discipline, protect your peace, and reconnect with who you truly are. The people who are meant to be part of your next chapter will find you when you get there.

@gardenlobster.bsky.social Sep 29, 2026, 12:38 AM

I thought I had to become a person I could be proud of, but what I'm learning to do is be proud of the person I am becoming.
