How to Lose Your Attachment To Narcissists And Emotionally Damaging Relationships
Stop regarding yourself as a victim and instead see yourself as the person in charge of your life. Victim status means being overpowered and weak, and it can make you take in more abuse believing you’re helpless. It also means waiting to be given permission to leave by the same person who is hurting you!
Accept that you have the power to change your life and you have the duty to protect your wellbeing, even if this person is threatening to cause harm if you attempt to escape.
Stop researching about narcissists, their attachment problems and their inner demons. Instead, start researching about yourself and why you have tolerated this situation for so long in the first place. Is it childhood issues? Or naivety and projecting your good nature onto other people? Or trusting people before they prove themselves? How can you outgrow these weaknesses?
Finally, plan and execute an escape intelligently and do not care what your abuser does to themselves after you leave. You should never be held hostage by anyone just so they can cause you harm and waste your time while you’re pitying them. A part of what you outgrow is being so soft and easy to manipulate.
