Re: [Psychopaths and Narcissists group] help.......

OMG....Bead Guy!!  I couldn't have said it better myself!  You've just taken the words from my mouth!  I've said the same thing about me now...."I don't trust myself or my boundaries..."  I am still waiting for me to trust myself again.  It's been 2 years of NC for me and I still don't trust my own decisions!!  I sure hope it comes back...I am working on it.  I am very guarded with EVERYone I meet now.  I was dating too, but I run from all of them.  I'm too careful or picky--whatever you want to call it!  I've dropped a girl who called me her best friend....and looking back now....she used me constantly and lied and caused drama.  Sad thing is...she has 2 young boys who need her and all she cares about is herself and partying.  My point is...is that I believe we will gain our trust back...once we surround ourselves with friends that are worthy of that trust.  We have to be careful...knowing what we know now.  Saba says it best!  I've never been so enlightened to people before.  I've always thought everyone was like me!  But they're not.....there is evil out there....and I've learned to be more cautious.  I'm not comfortable in my own skin either.  I still wrestle with the guilt of bringing my 3 children along with me for the hell-ride.  I will improve with time, however...and you have to believe that you will too!  Keep positive as much as possible!  Even if it means talking yourself up....straight into a mirror!!!     Gina

thanks.  I am trying, and I appreciate the advice from people.  I guess alot of people ask me what I am trying to solve with this in my head, and I ask myself this as well.  After reading all this, I am starting to beleive I was raised by a narcissist(father) .  He did the same emotional abuse on me for years and I could never figure out why he hated me so much.  I think my biggest heart ache is that I dont feel I have any value to anyone.  I will do anything for anybody I care about because I am their friend.  Instead of it being recipricated or even appreciated, I am thrown out like trash and replaced in a month.  I started dating again, but its hard because I have the Great Wall of China up around my heart and I am worried I will hurt somebody before I let them hurt me.  I dont want to live my life like that.  I care about people, I am empathetic.  I guess I just dont want to be stabbed in the back again.  I dont know if this sounds familiar or stupid, but I just dont feel comfortable in my own skin.  I dont trust me, and my boundaries anymore.  Does that ever come back?  I have never been this insecure in my entire life, but I am afraid to talk anymore.  Thanks for listening.

If you heard someone else tell you of a woman who said that to her partner, what would you think? You wouldn't think bad about the guy, but about how rude it is of her to say something like that.

It's hard to get over being used, I admit. But remember... she can't hurt you now, unless you let her. How? By believing what she said, by letting her comments get to you and so on. You can't change the past. I wish I could go back eight years. Even one year and do things different. I wish I had never let my abuser back into my life. But I can't change it. I just know that I don't want to be in the same place a year from now, wishing this year I had made the change. You can't let her haunt you like this.

It's all good in writing and I can write it over and over, but it has to come from within you when you are ready. When you are ready to draw a solid line and say from this point forward, I will be stronger and no longer let her hurt me, then the healing can begin. I'm also NOT a believer in revenge. That's low. The best thing is to cut these people out of your life. There actions will teach them a lesson eventually. You need not worry. Just get on with finding happiness for yourself. I know... easier said then done. I just hope that you can start healing soon.

Sending love and peace...
Saba.

It was because what he thought of me really mattered. So, this is what I needed to work on. I didn't want to care what he thought.

> Well, who cares what he thinks. In your case, try to train your mind to not care what she thinks. The more you care, the more she can hurt you. She's moved on. I believe in karma but even if you don't know that if she was abusive with you, she will be with someone else and leave it at that. You focus on you. Not in the negative way she wants but in a postive way. Again, each time you care what she thinks, remember how she didn't care when she was hurting you.
