Narcissist play nice when it's convenient, Someone who runs hot and cold acting like your best friend one day and ignoring you the next, but we as injf's are looking for consistency,

The relationship between a narcissist and an empath is one sided as Empaths are attuned to others’ emotions and are sensitive to feelings of other people. We tend to prioritize the needs of others ahead of our own and give without being asked. We feel deeply and feel good about helping others so much so that we absorb others’ emotions. Empaths tend to be overflowing with compassion for other people.Given our great amount of compassion, we as empath are prone to absorbing the emotions and energy of others. When we meet a narcissist, the energy we sense triggers something in us that ignites our need to comfort the narcissist, it’s likely that we empaths have formed a trauma bond with the narcissist, which can be hard to break out of or even recognize. the narcissists will discard the empath instantaneously—adding insult to injury for us empaths. The narcissist will be quick to find another victim so they can continue to get their narcissistic supply.

Because Everything for them is surface depth.

What sucks is being manipulated, to believe they would never leave you and that their goal was the betterment of the relationship.

You’ve fucked me up.

Desprezível

Posso não saber de tudo

Mas infelizmente, sei o bastante

Sobre suas sujeiras, e isso dá desgosto

Você consegue ser tão decepcionante

Não era medo de ser trocado

Era desejo de me substituir

Não era medo de ser enganado

Era a covardia de decair

Engraçado, quando você falou

Que eu devia me ouvir mais

Porque, a partir disso, percebi

Foi você que me enganou

Posso não saber de tudo

Mas o que descobri foi o bastante

Para sentir nojo e frustração

Da sua atitude inconstante

Though Healy declines to talk about the specifics of his love life, in June, reports surfaced that he and art-pop star FKA Twigs had broken up after dating for two years. And there's a lyric from "When We Are Together"—"'I'm better at writing' was just a way to get you biting/Oh the truth is that our egos are absurd"—that certainly seems like it could be about another songwriter. "I don't wanna be obtuse, but that's not specifically about her," he says. "This record in particular spans a lot of relationships. And if you're in a relationship with a creative person, there is always a dynamic there. That line is about me having a monopoly on writing." The wind picks up, and Healy relaxes in his chair. "It's so nice, actually, being outside," he says. As he delves into more emotional intricacies, his chatter slows and his tone gets a little softer. There's another potentially loaded line from the song that I'm curious about: "I thought we were fighting, but it seems I was 'gaslighting' you/I didn't know that it had its own word." It's the kind of line that could come attached with one of Healy's patented eye-rolls, a critique of the woke lexicon. That's not the case here. "There's lots of neologisms that I don't think are needed, but once somebody explained gaslighting, I realized that I'd done that in my relationships and thought, Fuck," he explains. "Because I'm in therapy a lot, this is one of my new things: watch out for gaslighting. I didn't know that was a thing. Now I have a way of being aware of when I'm manipulative. Sometimes I'll do it and I'll go, 'Hold on, I'm doing the thing and I know what that is and I'm sorry.' It's growing up."

August 9, 2022: Matty clarifies some facts about his song 'When We Are Together'. (source)

puppeteer.

That kind man, forged from a generational habit of skillful deceit, found his way into the unguarded chambers of my mind; with his soft words, he carved and morphed the memories that his Hyde had inflicted on me; what resulted was near insanity, as what I knew to be truth, what I knew to be reality, crumbled. I had --- and still have --- moments where the very fabric of reality seems to be wearing thin, and I can see no difference between reality and these captivating, yet nonetheless dreadful, memories. As years passed, and Jekyll continued to wear thin the cognizant layer of my mind, I had more and more moments where I seemed to slip from my body; not in a paranormal way, but in the way of one who knows not who she is --- what she is. What she means.

Confusion. Hysteria.

An evolutionary and well-developed terror at the thought of my captor and those calloused hands that molded my torture. Delirium because the vividities of last night were mere dreams, mania because yesterday's twisted events never happened.

Half-assed apologies over text, disorienting "I love you"s slipped under doorways post-episode; a huge sheet of unlined, white paper, with crude sharpie scribblings and an effortless, three-featured smiley face. "Sorry if you think..." "Sorry that you feel...but..."

A doctor could say someone's guilty. A prosecutor would say you're guilty. Yet here I am, doing nothing.

An Open Letter to My Ex (Part 3)

This might be a six-parter on its own, so I'm sorry in advance. But this boy changed my life in ways that I didn't even think possible. We met through a mutual friend. Me, being the person I was, saw fresh meat. That sounds crude, but it's true. At the ripe age of 14, I was a serial romantic. I didn't want anyone; I just wanted everyone to want me. Listen, I get how that sounds, but I'm 26 now and have been through a ton of therapy. It is what it is. A couple days around the church group, and I had you wrapped around my little finger. It was hot and toxic from the start. The entire relationship was built on lies and distrust. I've talked a lot of sh*t, and don't get me wrong, you hurt me in ways that are unforgivable, but I was not a saint. I don't even think we were together for a month before I cheated on you the first time. Nothing too crazy; I was only 14 and a virgin, mind you. But I kissed my best friend goodbye; he was leaving for Arizona for the summer. Somehow you found out, and I lied my fucking ass off. I will gaslight you till the end of time. I cried, I screamed, and I got my way. Looking back on it, I have no idea why I did it. I don't know what about me wouldn't let you go. But unfortunately, this wouldn't be the first or last time. Thinking back on it, I used to say things like "Give a fat kid some confidence and watch him turn into a dick". I was the dick. Now don't get it twisted; you are still to blame for some of this. But boy, was I a toxic piece of sh*t. You cheated on me and lied to me from the start, too. Deny it all you want; I know the truth now. Women, drugs, you name it. But I was making out with all my friends, so who cares, right? I just so desperately wanted to fill a void I didn't know I had. I probably made out with half a dozen kids that summer; I almost lost my virginity to some kid I didn't even like. All while you were out with your friends getting high. I didn't, though; I lost my virginity to you a year into our relationship. Eventually I found out you were smoking pot, and I started smoking too, and all of a sudden, at 15, my entire personality was sex and drugs. I stopped cheating on you at this time, but that's because I was locked up in your basement more often than not.

WHAT DO YOU LET CONTROL YOU?

(Don’t be a ZOMBIE)

Where is YOUR “Locus of Control”?

INTERNAL or EXTERNAL

Doc Heath here:

Your friendly Neighborhood NeuroMechanic!

Locus of control is a concept that teaches we have a choice of what we allow to direct our lives; what’s INSIDE of US or what’s OUT THERE in the world.

Widespread woo-woo PSEUDOpsychological social media-baked FAKERY would have you believe you have NO POWER in the face of those LABELED “toxic”, “manipulators”, “controlling”, “gaslighters”.

These mucked up memes paint a picture of so-called toxic, manipulating, controlling, gas-lighting folks as possessing CELESTIAL, SUPERHUMAN, GOD-LIKE POWER over YOU and your very BRAIN cells.

HOGWASH!!!

DON’T DRINK THE KOOL-AID!!!

BTW … many of these memes are JUST trying to sell you their app!

TAKE BACK YOUR POWER!

Realize YOU have the ABILITY to DECIDE what YOU are going to THINK regardless of what ANYONE else has to say about it; even so-called social media ‘influencers’.

Refuse to be like the OTHER “SHEEPLE” swallowing the social media “toxicity” claptrap whole.

Your thoughts are YOUR OWN.

MASTERMIND YOUR LIFE!

You can begin developing your own INTERNAL LOCUS of CONTROL today by bringing awareness to your OWN thinking. Ask yourself, “How accurate & realistic are my thoughts? How well is this particular thought serving me?”

OWN your own THINKING!!!

Be aware that many on social media want to keep YOU under the THUMB of their POWER-DRAINING influence.

THINKING for yourself is a THREAT to them.

I know because I debate these individuals all the time on various PSYCHO-BABBLE social feeds.

But be of good cheer! I’VE GOT YOUR BACK! We’re in this TOGETHER! Reach out anytime you need a wingman to help you fly HIGH ABOVE the nonsense.

Welcome to the TBAL TEAM!

Gaslighting, what it really is and how you can prevent it:

The term gaslighting is a trendy term that many use and know, specially, across social media platforms. But even though gaslighting is a trendy term, the behavior it’s meant to describe is incredibly toxic. Gaslighting causes a victim to question their own feelings, instincts, and their overall perception of reality. And while many forms of emotional abuse present similar characteristics, pinning the term on just any emotionally unpleasant situation muddles the meaning for those who experience it firsthand, thus creating confusion and misconceptions about what gaslighting actually looks like. So how can you tell if someone is gaslighting you, or if it’s something else entirely? Let’s discuss.

Let us say you being misgendered and you tell someone: “I really feels so sad about this and angry.” And their response is: “You’ll be fine. Don’t be dramatic.” They are suggesting that your reality is inaccurate, that what you are feeling is not actual sadness or anger, you are just being “dramatic”. To label these feelings or concerns as drama explains the gaslighting concept, kicked up a few notches.

“Gaslighting is similar to the concept of invalidation. It’s undermining somebody’s sense of reality and denying the facts, and their feelings, to create what is a blatantly false narrative. It makes someone question their judgment, their perception of reality, their experience, and sometimes their sanity.” Over time, being gaslit breaks down the victim’s self esteem and their own ability to trust their own perspective on things or values. The main goal of the gaslighter is to assume and remain in control of X situation. They are in control because they have eroded the victims trust and perception of facts. In social media, we then experience the pack syndrome, in which people take advantage of the fragility of the victims reputation and try to further invalidated.

What would be the difference between a simple or complicated disagreement on a subject to gaslighting? Let me give you an example: A crime has been committed and the sole witness of such crime is a prostitute. The fact that she is a prostitute should have no bearing in her account of the facts; however the defense lawyer, “intentionally” brings up her sex-worker status to gaslight its validity. The operating word here is “intentionally.” The gaslighter wants and needs to undermine the victims validity. The prostitute’s choice of work doesn’t invalidate what she witnessed. Lying IS NOT always gaslighting, a person may lie or try to when they feel they are in a certain situation; for example: You catch your boyfriend - girlfriend cheating on a social ap. then they try to lie their way out of it by saying things, like I do not know that person or that is a fake conversation; this would be an habitual liars response. However, if the response goes: “You made that up”, “you faked that so you could have a fight” you are a crazy jealous person”, this is gaslighting.

There are several gaslighting techniques an emotionally abusive person can resort to, including countering their victim’s memory, pretending to have forgotten what actually occurred, and trivializing their victim’s needs, feelings and reputation. “This isn’t a big deal; this person is being dramatic”; “You’re so entitled”; “You’re going crazy”; “There you go again, bringing up *insert thing here*”; “No one else will believe you”; “You are toxic.” The real kicker is that most gaslighters have issues like childhood trauma, fears, control issues, power and dominance. In a social environment they want to give the impression of Money, Power and Fame.

For additional support, the person who believes they’re being gaslit should aim to keep proof of everything—texts, photos, actual receipts, recordings, and more. The documented info is helpful, not only to have proof against their gaslighting person, but to have something that grounds them in reality while confronting the person and eventually “the pack”. On social media a victim needs to find a safe place, do not be afraid to block or exclude people that gaslight you. Surround yourself with people that supports you. The most important part for a person that has been or is being gaslighted is not to win an argument or followers and likes; the most important part is to auto validate yourself, your feelings and emotions and moving forward learning that they do not need external validation to be on the right.
