34. I Dated A Narcissist For 6 Years
Manage episode 307083196 series 2986968
What is it like to date a narcissist? What happens when you get triggered by other people’s breakup? Living with depression and bipolar, we sometimes wonder if we are the “bad” person in a relationship. So when a narcissist who seems like the “perfect” person comes along and gaslights you, you might end up believing them. Angie shares how she felt during her 6-year relationship with a narcissist and how she was triggered by a famous YouTube couple that recently broke up.
Takeaway:
- Narcissistic people will always portray themselves as "perfect" so other ppl will be on their side
- Always go with your gut feelings; they're there to protect you
- You can never fully judge the quality of someone else's relationship just by looking from the outside
- Love bombing: when you're being showered with love and affection only to have the person stop so they can manipulate you with their "love".
- Trauma bonding: bonding over shared trauma without seeking other perspectives can be harmful
- Narcissists use tactics to control you and their own image
- It's better to offer a friend perspectives rather than always agreeing with them
- Overanalyzing a situation can cause you more pain
