❤️🩹They don’t always raise their voice. Sometimes, the most painful form of control is the slow erosion of your self-worth — disguised as normal behaviour. 1️⃣ They interrupt you mid-sentence like your voice is irrelevant Example: You start speaking, and they cut you off with a sigh or change the subject — like you never mattered. ❤️🩹How to heal: When someone constantly silences you, they’re showing you exactly how little they value your words. 2️⃣ They mock your insecurities and call it “just a joke” Example: They point out your flaws in front of others, then laugh when you look uncomfortable. ❤️🩹How to heal: Humour that humiliates is not love — it’s emotional cruelty wrapped in sarcasm. 3️⃣ They violate your boundaries and pretend not to understand Example: You clearly say no, but they keep pushing — until you either give in or explode. ❤️🩹How to heal: When someone repeatedly crosses your line, they’re not confused — they just don’t care. 4️⃣ They use the silent treatment to punish and control you Example: After a disagreement, they disappear — refusing to speak until you apologise for something they caused. ❤️🩹How to heal: That’s not needing space. That’s emotional abandonment designed to break you. 5️⃣ They constantly correct you to make you feel small Example: Whether it’s how you speak, remember things, or express emotion — you’re always somehow “wrong.” ❤️🩹How to heal: Constant correction isn’t care. It’s a power play to keep you doubting yourself. 6️⃣ They disrespect your time like it means nothing Example: They show up late, cancel last minute, or keep you waiting — just to prove they’re in control. ❤️🩹How to heal: You’re not asking for too much. You’re asking to be treated like a human being. ❤️🩹My Final Thought: The narcissist’s goal isn’t just to hurt you — it’s to make you feel like being disrespected is normal. It isn’t. ❤️🩹If this hit home, comment “Heal” and follow for more. You’re not broken — you’ve been disrespected for far too long. We’re stronger together. #narcissisticabuse #emotionalabuse #narcissist #healingjourney #selfrespect #boundaries #toxicrelationship #cptsd #mentalhealthawareness #empath #narcissism #narcissistic #narcissistsurvivor
