Whats a habit/trait you picked up that you suspect is a result of narc abuse or has been proven to be a result of narc abuse?
I'll go first.
- Always overexplaning things
- Always taking the blame for stuff even if it wasn't my fault
- Putting others needs before my own
- People pleasing
- Feeling the need to walk on eggshells around everyone
- Feeling like everyone secretly hates you
Edit: more physical symptoms since someone actually brought up an interesting side effect of the amazing narc abuse that was physical
Disregulated nervous system
Blurry vision
Hyper vigilance
Constant fidgeting
And another thing that isn't physical but being used by "friends" who actually didn't like me for me and once they got what they wanted decided they were done with me
Constant overthinking about what if what im saying is offensive
Always second guessing myself for the stupidest things. For an example: I'm having the hardest time choosing a bowl of cereal to eat because I don't trust myself enough to know if I'm making the right choice by choosing cinnamon toast as opposed to lucky charms
Oh and what's funny is that the same people who caused this are the ones who want to "fix" you
