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.

And the people who gave them their badges know this and are not stopping it because this is what they want. This is how they operate.

Anyone who’s ever been smear campaigned by a malignant narcissist, who’s ever been in a relationship with a malignant narcissist, anyone who’s been scapegoated by malignant narcissist parent, knows exactly what she did. It’s predatory victimhood. And people need to understand how prolific this abuse tactic is among malignant and pathological narcissists. They are everywhere. And he’s right. No matter how ridiculously dishonest and detached from reality their accusations are, even if you can prove the allegations for false later on, the damage is real. It’s a form of violence. They’re trying to cause as much damage as they can cause to an innocent person. And people can argue whether or not Johnny is “innocent“ but I believe he was because I know these malignant narcissist attack innocent people for absolutely nothing other than ego preservation. A person needs to do absolutely nothing to be attacked like this by a pathological narcissist. And that’s what makes it so hard for most people to believe. People assume the victim must’ve done at least something, played some part in it, but no. Usually not. That’s what makes them so vile and sickening.

@Ryan_Daigler
Malignant narcissists aren’t driven by experience, wisdom, competence, or earned leadership. They’re driven by a compulsive need to be TREATED as an authority—to have their words carry more weight than everyone else’s, not because they deserve it, but because control soothes their inner instability. 
To them, disagreement is not dialogue; it is defiance. Questioning their claims feels like an attack on their existence. 
This hunger for unearned authority doesn’t stay internal—it shapes how they speak, how they position themselves socially, and how they quietly punish anyone who refuses to submit. 
What looks like competence is actually coercion, what looks like authority is actually manipulation.
It’s less about authority and more about unearned supremacy over meaning, reality, and perception.
—The internal need—
At their center is a fragile, chaotic inner state. They don’t experience a stable sense of self or legitimacy. Because of that:
Authority becomes a psychological prosthetic.
If their word is treated as “heavier,” they feel real. If it’s questioned, they feel annihilated.
Control replaces competence.

Real authority comes from experience, integrity, or contribution. They bypass all of that and go straight for dominance.
They need reality to defer to them.
Not just people—truth itself must bend. Facts, timelines, intentions, and motives must be redefined by them.
This is why disagreement doesn’t feel like debate to them—it feels like insubordination.
What this need causes them to do
1. Inflate their voice, diminish everyone else’s
-They speak with certainty even when wrong.
-They frame opinions as facts and facts as “just your feelings.”
-Interrupting
-Talking over
-Correcting trivial details
-Acting like the final arbiter of “what really happened”
This isn’t confidence. It’s forced hierarchy.

2. Weaponize “concern,” “expertise,” or “status”

3. Create informal tribunals
They love being the one who:
-Interprets events for others
-Assigns motives to people
-Decides who is “reasonable” or “problematic”
This gives them social authority without accountability.
They’re not leaders—they’re self-appointed judges.
4. Punish those who don’t grant them authority
If you don’t treat their word as heavier, they escalate:
-Subtle contempt → moralizing → character assassination
-“You’re difficult / unstable / aggressive / arrogant”
-Reframing your neutrality or boundaries as hostility
Your refusal to submit becomes their evidence that you’re the problem.

5. Obsessively control narratives
They don’t just want to win arguments—they want:
-Their interpretation to be the only accepted one
-Others to repeat it
-Dissent to look suspicious or immoral
This is why they smear in advance.
They’re protecting their illusory authority.
The more they posture as authorities, the more you see the absence of real authority.
-Real authority tolerates questions
-Real authority doesn’t need intimidation
-Real authority doesn’t collapse under disagreement
Malignant narcissists cannot allow horizontal relationships.
Everyone must be above or below—and they must be above.

—Why healthy people trigger this so strongly—
Grounded, self-directed people are dangerous to them because:
-You don’t need permission to think
-You don’t react to their posturing
-You don’t grant their words extra gravity
That exposes the truth they’re running from:
Their authority only exists if others perform belief in it.
Once you stop performing, the rage and escalation make perfect sense.

Ryan Daigler - Exposing Narcissistic Abuse 🚩🚩
@Ryan_Daigler
A very disturbing trait of narcissists, typically those with strong envy and psychopathic tendencies, is their ability to mimic the people they envy while simultaneously trying to destroy them.
Often called mirroring, where a narcissist mimics someone else's personality, mannerisms, interests, and even life choices. This isn’t done out of admiration but rather out of a need to consume that person’s identity and then replace them. It’s almost like psychological identity theft.
At the same time, they seek to undermine the original person through gaslighting, lies, and smear campaigns. They attack the very person they are copying, trying to break their confidence and make them question their own identity. 
By eliminating the original they ”take ownership” of the traits they are mimicking.
It is profoundly disturbing when you witness someone doing this to you.

@Ryan_Daigler
Narcissists are predominantly raised by narcissistic parents.
People raised by compassionate parents tend to develop a stable sense of self. They don’t need to dominate, distort reality, or feed on control to regulate their emotions. Empathy is integrated, not performative.
Narcissists are usually shaped in environments where:
-Love was conditional
-Emotional attunement was absent or inconsistent
-Image mattered more than truth
-They were either overvalued (“you’re special, rules don’t apply”) or devalued (“you exist to meet my needs”) — often both, unpredictably
That combination produces:
-External validation dependence
-Fragile ego + entitlement
-Poor emotional regulation
-Reality distortion as a defense, not a choice
Narcissism isn’t born from “showing too much compassion”, or “consoling an infant when they cry.”
It’s adaptation to emotional neglect, manipulation, or narcissistic modeling.

You are not the person the narcissist made you out to be. It doesn’t matter how long they held onto that wrong idea of you, that’s not who you are. That was never who you are. Don’t let them define you.

they can take their weird little fantasy of you and fuck right off with it.

When you respond to a narcissist calmly, rationally, and without emotional charge, you’re denying them supply.

When you’ve had to rebuild yourself from the ground up after narcissistic abuse, it’s more than just healing—it’s a complete unlearning of a lifetime of manipulation, gaslighting, and self-doubt. You relearn what your worth really is, recognize your own voice, and reclaim the boundaries that were stripped from you.
Once you’ve done this work, you see the world differently. You spot manipulation from a mile away, you protect yourself without guilt, and your boundaries are not to be trifled with—they’re nonnegotiable.
A survivor who has rebuilt themselves like this isn’t just healed —they’re a force to reckon with: strong, self-aware, and untouchable by those who once sought to diminish them.

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

Adult bullies often exhibit a sense of entitlement that drives their behavior towards others. This entitlement may stem from various factors, including personal insecurities, a desire for control, or past experiences where they felt powerless.
By exerting dominance over others, they may temporarily alleviate their own feelings of inadequacy. Societal norms sometimes condone hostile behavior can reinforce their belief that such actions are acceptable. 
Bullying in any form is not acceptable behavior.
