Start by taking the time needed to get clear if you have experienced narcissistic abuse. This is critical to your well-being.
Below you will find 7 signs you may have experienced narcissistic abuse.
Victims of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) often experience a range of negative emotions and feelings. Some common experiences include:
Emotional abuse: Narcissists can be emotionally manipulative and may use tactics such as gaslighting, blame-shifting, and verbal abuse to control and manipulate their victims.
Low self-esteem: Victims of NPD may begin to doubt their own worth and abilities as a result of the constant criticism and belittling from the narcissist.
Anxiety and depression: Living with a narcissist can be a constant rollercoaster of emotions and can take a toll on a person's mental health. Some victims may experience anxiety and depression as a result of the abuse.
Isolation: Narcissists may try to isolate their victims from friends and family, making them feel alone and unsupported.
Confusion and manipulation: Narcissists often use manipulation tactics to control their victims, leaving them feeling confused and unsure of what to believe.
Trauma: Prolonged exposure to narcissistic abuse can lead to symptoms of trauma such as flashbacks, nightmares, and triggers
Difficulty trusting others: Victims of NPD may have a hard time trusting others in the future, due to the betrayal and manipulation they experienced in their past relationships.
