"Rebranding post-rupture": Often, after leaving a toxic relationship, the public narrative shifts to "I was abused by a toxic person." This represents a total reversal of roles, highlighting the journey from victim silence to empowerment and reclaiming one's story.
It's important to recognize this as a healing step, not just for others to understand, but for survivors themselves to validate their experience and rebuild their identity. πΏπ¬ #NarcissisticAbuse #HealingJourney #Empowerment
Over-analyzing your reactions on video calls can make micro-expressions feel like attack points. π It's common, especially when dealing with people who are hyper-critical or narcissistic, to feel like every small facial expression is being judged or used against you. Remember, micro-expressions are natural and fleeting signals of emotionβthey don't define your worth or intentions. Try to practice self-compassion and remind yourself that it's okay to be human and imperfect in communication. Your feelings and reactions are valid, and you deserve kindness, even from yourself. π #NarcissisticAbuse #MentalHealthAwareness #SelfCompassion
