Number 7: You feel addicted disjoined and manic.

Perverse addiction happens with narcissists, this is also known as trauma bonding. Do you feel manic and unable to stop trying to contact our hookup with a narcissist? Even when you know how much you continually get hurt by doing so, we can be horrified by how addicted we are to someone who treats us so terribly.

It just doesn’t make logical sense, it is of course very serious when it gets to a stage where we simply can’t talk ourselves out of doing the actions that we know are putting ourselves back into the fire to get burnt again.

Number 8: You’re suffering from abuse symptoms.

Things are now very serious when your emotional inner being has been screaming out for our attention and we haven’t as yet pulled away and turned inwards to heal, and then we start breaking down physically as well. Likely, anxiety and depression and even greater issues like fibromyalgia, adrenal issues, PTSD, and agoraphobia start to develop.

You lose interest in the activities, people, and self-care that used to grant you energy as the toxic person in your life takes up more and more of your energy and focus. The shame and pain become so great that we may start hiding out from the world lying to people, covering up, and feeling even more isolated in our traumatic feelings and symptoms. This is when we have to ask ourselves how bad does it have to get before we awaken to the truth.

Conclusion.

There are varying degrees of narcissism, and there are also people who can just be clueless and selfish but are not necessarily afflicted with a narcissistic personality disorder. If someone in your life does not share your values and doesn’t care for your feelings, this is not a healthy relationship for you. As soon as we try changing other people, it’s time to pull away and say to ourselves and them this is who I am and what I need for us to continue.

We may lose a lot by leaving and as many of us have. However, by leaving we can achieve the greatest gain. Finally, we turn inward to integrate with ourselves so that we’re in a position of wholeness and can be in control of our choices and have the power to look after ourselves and create a happy, healthy, and truly loving life.
