The Worst Side Effect of Narcissistic Abuse
Don't stay until it's too late...
The worst side effect of narcissistic abuse is that IT KILLS.
Narcissistic abuse serves one purpose for the narcissist:
SURVIVAL.
The disorder operates on the denial of shame: it is an emotional disability.
The emotional part of their brain is stunted to the age of toddler years: they can only see the world in black/white terms: all good or all bad.
To survive, they must be all good.
PERFECT, IN CONTROL, ENTITLED, ADORED BY ALL:
The smartest, most beautiful, most righteous, most important person in the world.
Due to their split thinking, to be anything less than that is to be the most WORTHLESS person in the world.
Which means, to DIE.
Split thinking means things are all good or all bad — there’s no nuance, no in between, no room for anything but perfect superiority or utter inferiority.
