What It’s Really Like to Be in a Relationship with a Narcissist
Let’s stop sugarcoating it. Being with a narcissist is more than just “difficult” or “toxic.” It’s like living in a constant battlefield where your reality is under attack every single day.
Narcissists have the emotional maturity of a three-year-old child and that’s being generous, actually it's insulting to three-year-olds. Narcissist think the world revolves around them. No one else’s needs matter. They cannot bring themselves to care about your feelings. To them, you have none.
They can’t wrap their brains around the idea that someone else has needs, wants, desires, or dreams. This makes them absolutely furious, especially if you point it out. They don’t like being called out. They couldn’t care less about your needs, your dreams, or you as a person. Because for them, everything is about them, and it’s never about you.
They don’t just lie, they gaslight. Gaslighting is just a fancy word for consistently twisting the truth to confuse and manipulate you, to make you doubt your own memories, and question your sanity. It’s manipulation on a deep psychological level, designed to control and break you down.
They control everything in your life your emotions, your money, your friendships, even your self-worth. Decisions are often made for you, and every attempt to take back your independence is met with resistance, anger, or even silent punishment.
The loneliness is crushing. You might feel trapped in a nightmare were speaking up means being accused of “overreacting” or “being too sensitive.”
Yes, it’s exhausting. It’s confusing at times. It's mental gymnastics. Especially when they decide THEY are the victim and YOU are abusive and even crazy. It’s heartbreaking. It’s a slow erosion of the person you once were.
But here’s the truth no one tells you enough: You are not crazy. You are not to blame. Their lies don’t define your truth.
This is where a wonderful coach and a supportive community come in to help you rebuild your self-esteem, your self-worth, your life, and all the other pieces that abuse tried to steal from you. Healing your emotional wounds and reclaiming your identity IS possible.
