How to Open Your Heart Again After Narcissists Abuse
To heal fully, you must trust again.
It’s not easy, but when the right person comes along it adds a bit of comfort.
After years of toxic bullshit, and yea, I was just as much part as my ex. I am developing a nice relationship with someone I met over on Quora.
We’ve been talking a little over 5 months almost daily. We’ve seen the worst of one another for sure, but have always been there for each other when our wheels were falling off.
Our communication is something I thought didn’t exist.
I was becoming a cynical, bitter, asshole. That’s not who I am, but I was hell bent on driving that train down “that” track.
Something has shifted in this whole narcissistic bullshit. It’s not just her that’s helping me see it, but something else is shifting in me. It’s run it’s course.
I feel as if I’m beginning to “force” writings.
It’s come to a point where I write something, but 10–15 mins later I delete it. Narcissism is no longer serving any purpose in my life, I don’t need the validation any longer. I know what I experienced, and will NEVER experience that type of abuse again.
