YOU DON'T OWE THE NARCISSIST

#narcissistsurvivor #narcissisticabuse Narcissists can make us feel obligated to them for many things that keep us stuck in abusive and toxic relationships. Learning to see these traps for what they are can be the first step in setting ourselves free from the endless debts that narcissists feel we owe them.

    I recently reached out to a friend to check up on them, and got no response for a whole week. Then after messaging them on FB, found out they forgot to tell me they changed their phone number. Ok. Sometime after this friend went through a break up with a short fling, tried to reach out to vent and I was busy so I could not get back to them. I was going to reach back out once I got free, but then I hesitated. I realized I did not really want to talk to this friend. Because this same friend is someone who once called me fake when I was trying to offer sympathy to them, has insulted me about the things I'm passionate about and said I suck at them, and overall when we talk it just does not feel very uplifting. I realized this friend is toxic. I realized that I don't want this type of toxicity in my life and don't feel like having to explain anything to them.

    Thank you so much for saying we don’t owe the narcissist the truth. In the beginning of the relationship, I was very open and honest and truthful and it resulted in rage and name calling and I wish I would have walked away then but he came back saying I’m so sorry you don’t deserve this, this is how my dad treated me and because I hadn’t been in relationship in 10 years and thought he was my soulmate, I took him back, at some point months down the road after several breakups and getting back together, I had made plans to go Mtn biking with a male friend that was truely only a friend. He was at my house and I was telling him I needed to go meet a friend and when he asked who it was I tried to lie and say it was a girl since the first time he raged at me was when I was honest about someone I slept with 7 years prior!! That he knew. So I could feel the rage coming, he was in my house and I didn’t want to deal with it so I lied and said it was a girl friend. He grilled me and intimidated me and wouldn’t get out of my house til I told him it was a guy and then of course I got accused of having sec with him and the whole gammit, I felt horrible for lying but then tried to tell myself that I was actually trying to protect myself since he has raged many time before and is much bigger than me and in my bedroom overpowering me. I still felt bad for lying and he still holds it it my face on the times I. Have broken no contact and says what a lier I am which is so frustrating because his whole persona and life is a lie, ugh

    I grew up with some individuals with these traits and believe I am in a relationship with someone who has them as well. One of the hardest issues amongst all you discuss, is the double standards, their bondage to control and sense of superiority and entitlement. Regarding double standards… They expect you to be perfectly ok with things they would never be ok with and yet, if reversed, would cause WWIII. I’d really love to hear more about the double standards they place as rules and regulations within the relationship that are one sided, designed and reserved only for you while they expect and demand loyalty. You lose a piece of yourself every time they disrespect you with their double standards and lines they cross without consequences and then face their rage and blame shifting saying you are the problem, are crazy or jealous, etc. for simply asserting a basic healthy boundary.

    What if the narcissist claims that i owed him $5000 but i didn't borrow money from him. Its juet a favour that i had to pay him. I gave him $1400 last feb, remaining $3600. But i went no contact on 14 march 2023. I heard from his flying monkey that i apparently owed him $5000.: what the hell. What should i do?

    Anyone could call anyone and tell them that they owe someone $5,000. Why would it matter unless you actually do?
