You forced me to study narcissism. Now enjoy my educated ass. I didn’t become this self-aware by accident. You manipulated me, gaslit me, twisted reality until I didn’t know up from down. You made me question my worth, my sanity, my truth. But instead of breaking me, you activated something dangerous— A version of me that no longer tolerates bullshit. A version that sees patterns, red flags, hidden motives. You thought you were conditioning me to depend on you. What you really did was train me to survive you. I started reading, watching, learning— Every silent treatment, every blame shift, every love bomb. You were the perfect case study. And I took notes like my life depended on it—because it did. Now, I can smell manipulation a mile away. I no longer feel guilty for having boundaries. I don’t apologize for calling out disrespect. I’m not confused anymore. You don’t get to decide who I am. You don’t get to twist the narrative to make yourself the victim. You taught me to recognize emotional warfare. You taught me what a false apology sounds like. You taught me that someone can say "I love you" and still destroy you. So yes—thank you. Thank you for pushing me so far into the dark that I had no choice but to find the light. Thank you for showing me what love isn’t, so I’ll never settle again. I studied you. I dissected every word, every manipulation, every tactic. And now? Now I’m free—mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Not only did I survive you, I outgrew you. So yes, enjoy this version of me. The educated, evolved, untouchable me. Because this time, I see everything— And I choose me.
My favorite is when a Narcissist will try to argue all the ways they aren't one while behaving like one. If you don't want to be labeled as one, don't act like it lol
