It also took me many unhealthy relationships and friendships before I started to realize that it all tied into how my mother treated me. Last year I turned away from a very close 2-year friendship because I realized that she didn't really care about me and kept doing things that were hurtful even though I'd asked her several times to stop. I was really upset for a few months, but ultimately was proud of myself for being better about not accepting that kind of treatment.

I'm proud of you, too! We can be so tolerant of mistreatment because it's been so normalized even though it really hurts. I, too, am learning to walk away from unhealthy relationships. It can be painful at the time, but I know it is worth it. Good job walking away from that relationship.

Ahhhh, i have misophonia toooooo! It's debilitating and my mum was my biggest trigger too. She was full of contemp over it. I gasped when you said that you have it too. I don't hear that every day, no pun intended, lol. ❤

Sounds like your friend has misokinesia, hatred of movement. I have that too. I'm so glad you two accommodate each other! 😊❤

Oh wow! Yes, definitely don’t hear that every day! Lol! Any time I tried to talk to my mom about it, she’d be livid and yell, “Well, that’s how I eat!” Once, I replied, “Well, can’t you eat differently around me since it causes me those problems?” And she told me, “The things you get upset about are stupid!” I’d get so angry because I was just asking her to have basic table manners. When I realized she is a narcissist, it dawned on me why she wouldn’t hear me out on it (or anything else). A narcissist never would. And why she took it as a personal attack. At least it finally made sense to me why she refused to do something so simple.
