#CaptainAwkward having some very good advice again today and I think some of us need to hear it.
Childhood emotional abuse linked to workplace conflicts in power-seeking employees https://www.psypost.org/childhood-emotional-abuse-linked-to-workplace-conflicts-in-power-seeking-employees/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #ChildhoodAbuse #EmotionalAbuse #WorkplaceConflict #PowerDynamics #MentalHealth
Although both #men & #women are affected by narcissism, women are much more prone to this life-damaging abuse(abused by both men and other women).
These are just a few words from some women who went through it and survived, some dont.
"I am very old now but I have only just discovered about covert narcissists, and realise these are the people I have had in my life all the time, from childhood. I am now on my own but others think it is because I am the awful one because I do not have anything to do with these people anymore including my own children, who turned out like their dad, a narcissist. Life feels very lonely."
"My marriage was shaky from day one, but when I said to the narcissist that we could go into counselling to try and sort things out, he said, 'Why should I do that when it isn't my fault, it's yours.' You can't discuss anything with these individuals; In the end, after 40 years of marriage, I was the one that said 'Goodbye' to our fractured relationship."
"My son was recently in an accident where he was seriously hurt but will recover just fine. My sister asked me if I cried when I found out because she cried her eyes out. Like it was a weird, creepy competition on who was more hurt. Who the hell competes over something like that? The weirdness never ends
Very low contact. I look back at what I used to put up with and can't believe I'm sane."
Literally, you will go "crazy " trying to figure them out. Life is too short...RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN.

People in therapy are often in therapy to deal with the people in their lives who won't go to therapy.

We Can Hurt the Ones We Love When Recovering From Abuse
When recovering from abuse - particularly abuse from someone using narcissistic techniques - it's common for the recovering person to end up hurting the people who are in the healthiest relationships with them.

me: I was emotionally abused since I was a child for my weight by my father and turned into a makeshift therapist
unhelpful twat: it was all a part of God's plan
me: is this part of God's plan?
Raymond was convicted as well of placing his hand over the mouth of a four-year-old student until the child went limp.
Witnesses reported the punishment prevented the child from breathing “to the point of him going limp.” Afterward, the boy was “unable to stand.”
