If leaving feels impossible, that doesn’t automatically mean you’re weak or that you’re “meant to be together.” Trauma bonds are powerful because they’re built on intermittent reinforcement—the same learning process that can make addictive behaviors so hard to break. The craving to reach out isn

Yes, we are ALL dating the same guy. we all have been dating the same guy and we are not alone. These stories all feel same for a reason. These stories all look the same for a reason. These stories all seem the same for a reason. That’s because these stories are all the same no matter how you spi

If you’re going on “are we dating the same guy” and the guy has stories, pay attention. It doesn’t matter if all of the stories align or if it all makes sense. It never will. Trust the women who are reporting; believe us. #arewedatingthesameguy #narcissist #narcissism #bpd #npd

It doesn’t matter what sort of relationship you were making look good on social media. It only matters that you were making it look good. It wasn’t good. But you felt like you had to live up to the societal standard. You don’t have to anymore. Stop pretending. never feel like you need to play this

Replying to @itstartswith1 I made the original video to be a mouthpiece for the women who have never had a safe place to tell these stories. And the comments made one thing very clear: there are A LOT of them. Labor is one of the most vulnerable moments of a woman’s life. You shouldn’t also h

Here are the tales of the narcissist in the delivery room. If you haven’t had a baby with one, run while you can. If you have, comment your experience below. Let’s help people escape this life ahead of time. #laboranddelivery #narcissist #narcissisticabuse #narcissisticparent #narcissism

I’d love to know what your labor was like with a narcissistic partner. Let’s spread some awareness about what they can be like in the delivery room. Please share your stories if you feel comfortable. #laboranddelivery #narcissist #narcissisticabuse #narcissisticparent

Replying to @Hope Ferdabest Some people are so evolved being on the receiving end of these apologies that they understand what this manipulation is. They have been through it with a covert narcissist, and they understand they’re lying because they’ve seen and accepted it. Some people haven’t gotten

Replying to @Steven Protect yourself from the people who say they are going to change and don’t. Watch; be the observer. Just because someone can paint a pretty picture for you doesn’t mean they won’t repaint over it with their true colors. It shouldn’t be your job to make the distinction, but they

Here is why your children are lying to you; brace yourselves because you might need to do some self-reflecting, and you might also dislike me after listening to this. I love you still. #lying #parentingtips #HealingJourney #toxicparenting #toxicfamily

Sometimes the hardest part of healing is realizing you don’t know who you are without pain. There was I time I thought I was learning to love myself again, and then I realized something: I wasn’t learning to love myself again; I was learning to truly love myself for the first time. For a lif

#stitch with @ari If you grew up with a mother who was critical, emotionally unavailable, rejecting, neglectful, or simply unable to provide the nurturing you needed, your nervous system learns that maternal love isn't safe, and that's why you may find yourself feeling embarrassed when you receiv

Some people know what it means to have other people, even strangers, constantly pour their stories out to them without explanation. A lot of you see it as a gift; others may see it as a curse. Are you a person who seems to deeply know the people around you? If so, you might experience feelings of g

Relationships should move at the pace they should move at; it’s as simple as that. We should be honoring ourselves, the energy, and the connection that we feel with people as individuals. There is no rule book that can be moved from one situation to the next because all connections are different.

Replying to @rosypetal an explanation about manipulation. Sometimes people are manipulating without meaning to. It’s a learned and normalized behavior in some scenarios. We are all human; we all do it. Manipulation doesn’t always mean someone is a monster. #manipulation #apologies #forgiveness

Relationships take work, but not the kind of work that one person in the partnership keeps creating. #narctok #narcissist #manipulation #relationshippsychology #fyp

Replying to @Lady Gig Boss someone asked a really thoughtful question in my comments: how do you tell the difference between someone who is struggling… And someone who is manipulating you? The answer is more nuanced than people think. #narctok #narcissist #manipulation #relationshippsycholog
