Social anxiety is nervous system injury trauma

 -

@Jackdaw202
As a therapist I would never underestimate the effects of having a narcissist as a close relative or partner. It can devestate your personality and beliefs about yourself. It can leave you with PTSD. Yesterday I worked with someone who lost her children to a powerful narcissist. It's not a case of being stoic or changing your mindset, it requires action to free yourself. Distance above all is needed if you find yourself locked in with a narcissist, and changing your life to achieve that distance can be an enormous challenge. 
Like all hard things though, it can be done.

Self-isolating for more than a month slows down your healing 👇🏼
When you self-isolate a lot, it deregulates your nervous system more, and you’ll get to a point where you realize that your life has gotten  small and that you crave connection and joy again.

The reason why covert and malignant narcissists get away with their manipulation, is not because they are particularly smart. It’s not because their lies and manipulation tactics are “skilled.” 
It’s because their behavior is so detached from humanity that most people won’t believe they’re doing what they’re actually doing. It’s simply too inhuman.

Narcissists won’t just lie about you, they will say the complete opposite of the truth. You might be one of the hardest workers and they will accuse you of being lazy to everyone they speak to. You might be one of the nicest people and they will accuse you of being mean or being a bully. 
They’re trying to erase the person they feel threatened by with murderous motivation.
Make no mistake, the malignant narcissist wants anyone who threatens their ego dead. That’s their secret fantasy. Yes, they are that depraved.

Many of us try to see the best in people. Narcissists see a mirror darkly version of you that isn’t you at all and they’ll see it so firmly, they’ll try to make it who you are. It’s like they NEED you to be a diminished version of yourself. Over time, we might even start to believe their negative, abusive perspective of us.  And that’s their goal; spiritual murder

Ryan Daigler - Exposing Narcissistic Abuse 🚩🚩

Malignant narcissists will throw their own children under the bus to protect their false public image. They’re more concerned about what random people think of them than their own family. 🧵
Why? Because they exist entirely in their false self which means their sense of self is based entirely on what outside observers perceive them as.
When a person sees them for who they are, that person is deemed a threat to their reality and labeled a non-entity by the narcissist and must be discarded from reality, i.e. smear campaigned, sabotaged, or worse.
Most often this is the people closest to them that must be discarded because it’s the people closest to them who can see what they really are

Having to walk on eggshells cause the people around you can’t take accountability is a miserable life

Every time we try to establish a new belief, it would be useful if had all the available evidence and the time to make a considered decision. But in much of life we don't have that luxury (no time, evidence). We have to rely on our beliefs to guide our actions.

Ryan Daigler - Exposing Narcissistic Abuse 🚩🚩
@Ryan_Daigler
There’s a terrible moral reversal in narcissistic families: the psychologically healthy person in an otherwise toxic system is the one labeled as “mentally ill.” The person with intact empathy, moral consistency, and reality-testing, is a threat to the narcissist’s facade, so the toxic system has to neutralize them. The easiest way to do that is to pathologize them.
So the family flips reality:
The most psychologically grounded person becomes “the problem.”
Normal reactions to abuse are reframed as mental illness, instability, or defect.
Relentless pressure, gaslighting, and punishment are applied until trauma finally appears—and then that trauma is used as “proof” that the label was correct all along.
Meanwhile, the dishonest, cruel, or morally hollow members are declared “healthy” precisely because they conform to the pathology of the system. Their lack of empathy, denial, and cruelty are treated as normal because they don’t challenge the family’s false narrative.
What makes it especially grotesque is the circular logic:
We abused you because you were “mentally ill,” and the damage we caused now proves you were mentally ill.
This is deeply entrenched character assassination as a control mechanism. The scapegoat isn’t broken; they’re the healthy one who’s been broken down. And the family’s claim to health is not psychological health at all, but successful moral dissociation.

Malignant narcissists thrive on attention. Particularly that of being a victim or a hero. This elevates their irrelevance in society up to quick relevance. 
In order to do this, they must find someone to vilify and they must make themselves out to be a victim. 
They will look for someone they can scapegoat best. 
Who they can vilify. 
Who they can twist things around and make to look like a bad guy. 
This is their handicraft; their true profession. Once they’ve decided to scapegoat somebody, they‘ll take everything they can about this individual, even innocuous harmless behaviors, and make it look offensive. This is the process. 🧵
They’ll look for others they can manipulate into agreeing with them that this designated scapegoat is offensive or dangerous or absive. Some people will be hard to convince, other narcissists will see what the lead narcissist is up to and will be eager to join in on the scapegoating. The bandwagon effect begins.  It becomes organized character assassination: the sacrifice of a scapegoat to satisfy the entitlement of a mob of pathological narcissists.

One of the lesser-talked-about effects from spending years in survival mode, all of your energy is conditioned to activate when survival is at stake. You learn to function under threat, urgency, and fear—not desire, curiosity, or choice.
So when the abuse finally ends and you’re in a safe place, the nervous system doesn’t suddenly come back online. It often does the opposite.
You feel empty. Exhausted. Unmotivated.
Tasks that aren’t urgent or survival-linked don’t trigger energy release.
“Wanting” feels unimportant, not because you don’t care, but because wanting was unsafe or irrelevant for so long.

Now your system is relearning how to mobilize without the constant threat.
This isn’t laziness. It’s a predictable outcome of prolonged danger.
If this resonates, know this: your system kept you alive.
Show yourself some understanding — and respect.
You deserve it.

Just a reminder for every survivor who grew up being abused by narcissistic parents and are now living with trauma or CPTSD: please go easy on yourself.  Everything is harder for you. You’re not lazy, you’re not a “procrastinator.”  You are operating inside a storm of mental turbulence that most people don’t have to fight through. And we’ve been living in this storm for so long that we can forget that it’s still there.  So remember that and be gentle with yourself.  For what you’ve been through, for what you’re still living with, you are doing AMAZING 🙌 📷 📷🙂

Ryan Daigler - Exposing Narcissistic Abuse 🚩🚩
@Ryan_Daigler
Narcissists don’t just project their flaws onto other people — they install them. This is projective identification, and it’s one of the most dangerous psychological tactics they use.  1. They can’t tolerate their own flaws Anything that threatens their inflated self-image — envy, deceit, insecurity, cruelty, malicious intent — is impossible for them to admit. So instead of facing it, they shove those traits into someone else.  2. They pick a target who can carry the projection Usually someone empathetic, self-reflective, or vulnerable. Someone who second-guesses themselves. Someone with a history of abuse trauma. Someone who already plays the “peacekeeper” role. 🧵
5. And then the narcissist attacks, devalues, or discards the target Because now, getting rid of you feels like getting rid of their own shame, fear, envy, or cruelty. This is why the narcissist’s rage can feel disproportionate: they’re not fighting you — they’re fighting the part of themselves they refuse to acknowledge. This is also why the abuse feels personal and targeted: because it is.  6. Why they do it Because the narcissist’s entire psychological survival depends on: avoiding shame avoiding self-awareness avoiding responsibility protecting their fantasy self-image They project those inner threats to an external target/person. Destroy the target = destroy the evidence.
7. The tragic result The victim walks away confused, traumatized, and loaded with psychological debris that never belonged to them. The narcissist walks away feeling “clean,” reset, and ready to repeat the cycle with someone new.

Narcissists don't want to resolve issues or conflict. They want to win, be right, and be in control. You can't reason with someone who doesn't listen, manipulates, has to be right, think they know it all, is entitled, rages and disrespects, uses fear, threats, bullying, and intimidation, devalues, needs to blame you for everything, is committed to misunderstanding you, and is  emotionally immature.

If you expose a Narcissist. They'll attack you from every angle. Online, offline, anywhere they can reach. They'll try to silence you!
Narcissists thrive on control and fear. When their carefully constructed image is threatened, their instinct isn’t reflection, it’s retaliation. They’ll weaponize lies, manipulate situations, and turn allies against you. They want to make you question your reality, your courage.
But here’s the truth, their attacks don’t define you. Every smear, every plot, every attempt to intimidate is a testament to the power of the truth you dared to speak.  
Stand firm. Document. Protect yourself.  
Their chaos is a reflection of their own insecurity  not a reflection of your strength.  
You survived the deception.  
Now survive the backlash and rise stronger than ever before.

@Ryan_Daigler
Narcissists surround themselves with people who don’t question their lies. People who believe everything they tell them. This reinforces their ability to manipulate others- which is the most important thing to them. 
They often curate a circle of enablers—people who are either too naive, too dependent, or too afraid to push back. These individuals serve as reinforcement or validation, constantly affirming the narcissist’s delusions and boosting their fragile ego.
The moment someone starts questioning or exposing their lies, the narcissist sees them as a threat. That’s when the smear campaigns start, or the person gets discarded or gaslighted into submission. The ability to manipulate is their primary form of control—it’s how they feel powerful, significant, and invulnerable.

@hell_line0
When a narcissist realizes they can’t control you, their next move is to try to hurt you by controlling the narrative. They twist stories, play the victim, and convince others that you’re the problem, all because they lost control of you. It’s a deliberate attempt to rewrite the truth through manipulation.

After narcissistic abuse, isolation isn’t “withdrawing”, it’s your nervous system trying to feel safe again. You were gaslit, your reality was questioned, your boundaries were crossed, and your energy was constantly extracted. Being around people afterward can feel overwhelming.

Solana
@Solanar0
Isolation isn't just hiding; it’s your nervous system finally choosing safety over performance. After living in a war zone where your reality was constantly attacked, silence becomes a sanctuary. You aren't "antisocial," you're recalibrating your peace in a space where no one can twist your words.

Narcissistic abuse is psychological violence. 
Don’t believe that?
Here’s the damage long-term gaslighting and narcissistic abuse typically leave behind. 

Cognitive
- Chronic self-doubt (“Am I overreacting?”)
- Second-guessing memories and perceptions
 - Difficulty making decisions without reassurance
 - Mental fog, rumination, looping thoughts
Emotional
 - Persistent anxiety and hypervigilance
 - Shame without a clear source
 - Emotional numbness or shutdown
 - Sudden guilt when asserting needs
Behavioral
 - Over-explaining, over-justifying
 - Apologizing reflexively
 - People-pleasing / fawning
 - Avoidance of conflict at all costs
 - Freezing or dissociating under pressure
Relational
 - Expectation of bad intent from others
 - Trouble trusting kindness
 - Tolerance of boundary violations
 - Feeling responsible for others’ emotions
Identity
 - Eroded sense of self
 - Loss of preferences, opinions, goals
 - Feeling “hollow” or undefined
 - Confusion about what’s normal vs abusive

 - CPTSD symptoms
 - Startle response
 - Somatic symptoms (GI issues, headaches, fatigue)
 - Trauma bonding and grief for the abuser

This isn’t weakness, this is trauma from long term psychological abuse


The_Narc_Decoder
@NarcDecoder
A narcissist can walk away from someone they swear they care about without hesitation. The moment their flawless self image is questioned, they retreat. Call out a lie, ask for accountability, or name their behavior, and they shut down or vanish. Not because you’re wrong, but because truth threatens the fragile identity they’re fighting to preserve. Their ego will always come first even if it means sacrificing every genuine connection they have.

Narcissistic parents often pit siblings against each other through a tactic called triangulation. Instead of encouraging healthy bonds, they create rivalry by casting one child as the “Golden Child” and another as the “Scapegoat.” The Golden Child is praised and rewarded, while the Scapegoat is blamed and criticized—sometimes even recruited siblings will join in the scapegoating. This “divide and conquer” strategy keeps everyone competing for the parent’s approval instead of seeing the parent as the real source of dysfunction.
The result is that siblings who should be allies often become rivals or enemies, leaving the scapegoated child isolated and unsupported. Meanwhile, the parent sits at the center, feeding off the chaos and maintaining control.

Gossips are worse than thieves because they steal another person's dignity, honest reputation, and credibility, which are impossible to restore. So remember this, what comes out of your mouth can't fix the damage done to another person.  If you don't know the truth, stay silent.

Narcissistic Abuse Awareness
@AwareOfTheNarc
Narcissists don’t take accountability. They trigger you, then weaponize your reaction to avoid their own behavior.

The more you will forgive the
Narcissist, the worse their behavior will get.

your abuser’s trauma does not justify them abusing you.

“Chronic pain, from a Polyvagal perspective, is not simply a signal of injury - it is an expression of a body still in defence.” – Dr. Stephen Porges

The mental health industry’s idea of “compassion” is telling people that their suffering is due to individual biological/psychological problems so everyone can ignore the more difficult, often ugly truths.Nick Taber

How do you know if you're an Authentic Energy?
You naturally offend toxic people...
Toxic  people will go to the wildest extremes to shame you and reduce your confidence to compete with you. Meanwhile, you're literally just trying to exist.

Narcissists need to pretend you’re a bad person to validate the hatred they feel for envying you, so they don’t look guilty for the way they treated you.

“We do not want to be rich like Americans. Look how greedy they are, even trying to invade their friends. We would not sell ourselves. We know what happened to Indigenous people in Alaska and Native Americans. Their land was taken, and they were not treated well.”
— Greenlandic politician Tillie Martinussen

When the narcissist can’t control you, they’ll discard you. 
And to make sure they have no loose ends, they’ll smear campaign you.


@graveair
It is genuinely tragic to discover that the only way to live virtuously and remain kind is to ignore most people.

Your life has no value or meaning to a narcissist unless you provide them a service to their ego in some way.

People with high emotional intelligence don't listen to words. They read energies.

I think the hardest part of the political climate right now is realizing how many people around me are actually evil. Not stupid. Not misinformed. Just blatantly enjoying and relishing in the suffering of other human beings.

Normalize never speaking to people again after they disrespected you.

Abusers are far more motivated to control the narrative than victims are to defend themselves; victims are busy surviving.

Never argue with a woman who's first bully was her family. She will expose you in ways you never imagined. She's been defending herself from a grown adult since she was a child. You don't stand a chance..

Crazy how minding your own business and doing a fantastic job at work upsets people.

NarcissisticAbuse is covert psychological torture. And I don’t use that word lightly. The goal is to get away with causing as much psychological damage as they can. A victim’s nervous break-down is the abuser’s trophy.
