4 telltale behaviors of people who have dated a narcissist

Yes. And learning these behaviors and causes is important. But back up a little in your self evaluation. Maybe much of your “low self esteem ” was from narcissist attacks. Maybe your self esteem problems were intentional manipulation. Narcissists drive wedges in our developing personality flaws. So instead of growing with you they used you to support the false image that they live in. Their core true self has been sacraficed. You were looking for real. Yes you experienced shame but you knew it and worked to improve. A narcissist doesn’t do that when they screw up and hurt someone. The illusion to them is all important. Destroying you is what they do to protect their false self. So yes you have low self esteem. But a lot of it is from manipulation. I also had a string of narcissist relationships. The new ones use the damage caused by the last like pre training. These things snowball. But you will survive and they are already cut off from their souls. They are zombies in heals lol.

I can never hear the word ‘humble’ after hearing my own parents, as a 3rd grader, were lying about me to my teachers and friend’s parents. My friends told me. When I confronted my parents they didn’t deny, they laughed and said, “it’s called being humble” like I was some uncouth idiot. I told them to be humble about themselves. I should point out this was a mainly Chinese school and culturally parents are usually the opposite, bragging about their kids in public. This behavior was so socially unusual my friends thought my parents were crazy.
