Why is it that when you’re in the same room as her, she literally acts as if you don’t exist?...
Dealing with a toxic parent can be an extremely difficult experience. They thrive on getting you worked up, they are less than understanding, they seldom see things the way you do, and you often end up miserable. While this may just be happening on the home scene, dealing with such toxicity can take a toll on you both physically and psychologically. What even makes it more difficult is the fact that they are a family member, and you’re most likely near them....

Guys do hurt after a breakup, some of them long later after the breakup, some of them get struck by the pain at the moment the relationship ends....
Heck, you’ve enjoyed your coffee in the morning! Things and evenings took a different turn since he pulled away, didn’t they?

We now have another ingredient called overthinking, thanks to our guy pulling away! There’s this specific urge when he pulls away. It’s the urge to chase him, to want to make him yours, or make him chase after you....
Narcissists thrive on their narcissistic supply, it is the very oxygen of attention that they need. So, a serious illness or is like manna from heaven for a narcissist. They can demand almost unlimited attention from their family and carers, even potentially regaining control of adult children who have fled the nest and all of them have to, because who would ignore a sick or dying parent? Being seriously ill is no picnic for anyone and normally sympathy and help are due, quite rightly....

There’s no denying that you like her. She’s fun, interesting, and everything you’ve been looking for in a woman. And yet, telling her how you feel seems scary. What if she doesn’t feel the same way? What if she throws you in the dreaded friend zone? It used to be that people valued face-to-face conversation when sharing their innermost secrets. But today, with so many people relying on virtual communication to connect with others, there’s nothing wrong with texting her about your feelings....

It is not uncommon for them to be jealous of all previous intimate relationships that their partner may have had....

What are the effects of a Narcissistic mother on her daughter? When you imagine a picturesque mother-daughter relationship, what do you see? The compassionate, warm mother who can make every problem seemingly disappear? The daughter who turns to her mother with every secret? The loving, respectful bond that morphs into a beautiful friendship? For daughters of narcissistic mothers, the relationship doesn’t resemble anything like traditional love. Instead, it often seems like a constant, losing battle....
Think of a creature so full of self-loathing that they can’t bear themselves. A being robbed of self-esteem and internally at least, totally without redeeming qualities. In literature you have it marked out in characters like Tolkien’s Gollum, Dickens’ Uriah Heep, or Nils Bjurman from Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy. It is hard to believe from the selfish and grandiose behavior of narcissists, but if you had a magic mirror that could reflect how they feel inside, their mirror image would be something like one of these three, a kind of Dorian Gray of the soul....
Jokes aside, I understand that when he suddenly stops contacting you and comes back again can make it feel anything but fun. In fact, the feeling that such behavior gives is far from fun. You’re left feeling miserable for a while (let’s say he stops texting you for a few days) just so that he can suddenly text you again and give you that dopamine hit. Whether he does this too often, or he did it just once, he surely has reasons for doing so....

He seems like a great guy, but why is he sticking around if he doesn’t want to get emotionally involved? Why does he keep me around if he doesn’t want a relationship?...

However, there’s this one thing that exposes each one of us. It’s called subconscious.
