Following my last blog "Escaping A Narcissist's Web", I've received countless messages, emails, and comments from readers like you, hungry for more details about my harrowing experience....
But I've decided to change the format of my next post.
So here it is - the podcast you've been waiting for...
Sucking the life out of me like a vampire.mp3
Enjoy !!
Narcissism is a term that is often thrown around in everyday conversation. But I am going to provide a definition, just to ensure that we are all on the same page. Narcissism is a personality trait that is characterized by a grandiose sense of self-importance, an excessive need for admiration, and a lack of empathy.
As I discovered personally, persons who become involved with a narcissist often find themselves navigating a treacherous emotional landscape.
My journey with this particular narcissist was an experience that shook the very foundation of my self-worth.
This person was in actual fact my ex husband, and initially I believed that he was sweet and caring but litlle by litlle I realized that he had an insatiable hunger for control and dominance. Our relationship of 18 years, can only be described as an emotional rollercoaster, with moments of intense charm and affection juxtaposed with outbursts of demeaning behavior. Despite being on a path to success in college, with promising prospects, I found myself subjected to belittlement and derogatory remarks. His words cut deep, undermining my confidence and casting a shadow over my accomplishments. The emotional abuse gradually escalated into physical aggression, leaving scars that were not only physical but also deeply psychological.
Understanding the nature of a narcissist's behavior requires a closer look at the intricacies of their psyche. Often, beneath the facade of unwavering self-assurance lies a fragile ego, easily threatened by any perceived challenge. Their inflated sense of self-importance serves as a shield against their deep-seated insecurities, leading them to manipulate and control others to maintain their perceived superiority.
For those ensnared in a relationship with a narcissist, the toll on mental health and emotional well-being can be immense. Gaslighting, manipulation, and the constant erosion of self-worth become the norm, fostering a state of perpetual self-doubt. The toxicity of the relationship can bleed into all aspects of life, hindering personal growth and causing emotional distress.
Escaping the clutches of a narcissistic relationship is a daunting endeavor, often requiring strength, resilience, and support. The journey toward liberation begins with recognizing the patterns of abuse and acknowledging the need for change. Seeking guidance from a therapist or a support group can provide invaluable insights and a safe space to process emotions and regain confidence.
My own escape from the narcissist was a slow and arduous process. It involved setting firm boundaries, finding support in friends. Over time, I discovered the importance of self-care, self-compassion, and the power of reclaiming my autonomy.
Breaking free from the clutches of a narcissist is a testament to one's resilience and strength. It's a journey of self-discovery, a path toward healing, and a reclamation of personal power. While scars may linger, the experience serves as a catalyst for growth and a newfound appreciation for inner strength.
For those of you that are currently involved with someone like this, I know that it may seem like an impossible mountain to climb, but trust me when I say that you can escape. If I can do it, so can you. It may have taken me 18 years but in the end, I did triumph, and now I am in a much better place. My biggest regret is that his words, and action also affected our innocent daughter.
One day, I will tell you my story...but that's it for me today
Maybe as a kid I was too sheltered, but I honestly do not remember meeting the word overthinking, until way into adulthood.
Initially, I thought that it may have been a colloquial term but after some research, I realize that it can be found in the Oxford, Collins, and Merriam- Webster dictionaries.
It is an expression that has become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason.
Overthinking, as the name suggests, is the act of thinking excessively or dwelling too long on a thought, idea, problem, or decision. It often involves analyzing situations from multiple angles, considering numerous "what if" scenarios, and ruminating on past events or future possibilities. While some level of contemplation is essential for making informed decisions, overthinking takes it to an extreme, leading to mental and emotional distress.
For those of you who are not afflicted by this malady, let me give you an example. Your boss says to you one day “I am very impressed you actually gave a good talk”. And you immediately start thinking – What does he mean by ACTUALLY gave a good talk? I give presentations to my team weekly, aren’t they usually good? Is he being condescending? Why did he have to say it in front of the other staff? Are they laughing at me behind my back? Is it because I don’t have an MBA why he thinks he can talk down to me like that? Is it because I’m black? Is it because I’m a woman?
Unhealthy consequences:
Breaking Free from Overthinking
The good news is that overthinking is not necessarily a permanent state, and there are ways to break free from this cycle. Here are some strategies to help you manage overthinking:
Overthinking is a common but often unhealthy habit that can have a significant impact on your life. Recognizing its presence is the first step toward managing and overcoming it. Remember, it's okay to take a step back and simplify your thought process – sometimes, less really is more.
I am obsessed with true crime documentaries. This perverse (yes, I admit that it is not quite 100% normal) obsession started many years ago. One morning I was at home flipping through some channels on my cable, and came across a show called Snapped. Now, I don't know if you guys are familiar with it but it is an American based non-fiction series which was originally broadcasted on the Oxygen network. It featured the stories of convicted persons who either attempted or committed murder, for a variety of reasons. The usual culprits were infidelity, physical/emotional abuse or life insurance money. Unfortunately, the target of the crime was frequently the spouse.
After watching the first 10 minutes of episode one, I was CAPTIVATED. I then proceeded to binge watch episode after episode after episode, and before I knew it, it was night and I had watched at least 40 of them. It was as if I was coming out of a daze. I was so in love 
And to date, I continue to watch, listen, read everything I can about true crime cases.
So recently, my mind has been trying to figure out what would drive an individual to perform such atrocities to humanity. I honestly, do not believe that the majority of persons in the world are truly psycholic. I think that many times, there is an explanation behind an action.
I am sure that most, if not all of you have heard about the infamous Jeffrey Dahmer who was labelled a serial killer and sex offender. He admitted to murdering 17 males between 1978 and 1991. Apart from the fact that he killed multiple person, I think that the main reason, he became so well known is the fact that he indulged in necrophilia and cannabilism.
Even though, some may argue that this source is not always 100% reliable, if you want to read a synopsis of his life, please click on the following link: Jeffrey Dahmer
I think that some of his actions later in life may have arisen from issues that developed in his formative year. He was the product of two parents who at the time were more focused on their lives, and pretty much ignored him. This would have certainly led to feelings of desolation and abandonment. In high school he was also regarded as an outcast. He likely turned to alcohol as a means of coping with his awkwardness and alienation. People are meant to have other human beings around (sometimes). No one loves to be truly alone day after day after day. If feelings of aloneness can lead to depression and suicide, I am sure that they can have a negative effect on a young impressionable mind. I believe that these feelings haunted him throughout his early life and into adulthood. And this may be why he unfortunately repeatedly ended the lives of these young men. He wanted someone who would be always there, who would not be repulsed by him and leave him. He even went as far as to try to incapacitate some of them by injecting hydrochloric acid and boiling water into their brains, so that he could have a companion who he could control. One who would have no choice but to stay with him. This desire to have people around who would remain with him, is also evidenced by the fact that he hoarded the body parts of his victims. So that he could take them out and reminisce at a later date. Jeffrey's way of seeking out love and companionship was definitely unnatural and demented but I daresay, the intent was understandable.
I realize that I this post is not awarding me any popularity points. And don't misunderstand me, I am not excusing or supporting his actions, I am simply saying that pehaps, there was a reason (no matter how deranged) behind his acts. Or maybe the reason I kinda understand is that I might have been a serial killer in a previous life
In today's world, the pursuit of beauty has become an all-encompassing phenomenon. It seems as though we are constantly bombarded with images and messages that emphasize the importance of looking beautiful. This obsession with beauty has given rise to multimillion-dollar industries, including cosmetics, fashion, and cosmetic/reconstructive surgery (aka plastic surgery). But why are we so enthralled by beauty, and why does being called beautiful or handsome make us feel so good? The majority of us, if we are being truthful, would admit that we do get a little tingle inside or instantly smile when we hear those words
Lets delve into these questions and explore the complex relationship between society and beauty.
The Multimillion-Dollar Beauty Industries
1. The Cosmetic Industry
The cosmetic industry is one of the largest and most profitable sectors in the world. It encompasses a wide range of products, from makeup and skincare to haircare and fragrances. According to Statista (a German based data collection platform), the global cosmetic market was valued at over $500 billion in 2020, and this number continues to grow steadily.
The allure of cosmetics lies in their transformative power. Makeup allows individuals to enhance their features, hide imperfections, and express their creativity. It has become a form of self-expression, enabling people to craft their desired image and boost their self-confidence.
2. The Fashion Industry
Fashion is another behemoth in the beauty landscape. It revolves around clothing, accessories, and style trends that change seasonally. The global fashion industry was estimated to be worth around $1.5 trillion in 2020, making it a colossal economic force.
Fashion is not merely about covering the body but also about projecting an image. What we wear often reflects our personality, aspirations, and the image we want to convey to the world. It is an industry that thrives on the ever-evolving concept of beauty, offering a constant stream of new styles and trends.
3. The Plastic Surgery Industry
The plastic surgery industry is perhaps the most direct manifestation of our beauty obsession. It involves surgical and non-surgical procedures aimed at altering one's appearance. The industry's global market size was estimated to be over $45 billion in 2020, and it continues to expand.
Plastic surgery offers the promise of physical transformation, allowing individuals to change their facial features, body shape, and even reverse the effects of aging. While some turn to plastic surgery for medical reasons, many do it for cosmetic enhancement, driven by the desire to conform to societal beauty standards.
Why Do We Feel Good When Called Beautiful?
One of the most intriguing aspects of our beauty obsession is the emotional response we experience when someone tells us that we are beautiful. This feeling of joy and validation is deeply ingrained in our psychological and social makeup.
1. Social Validation: Being called beautiful often carries a sense of social validation. It implies that we meet or exceed the standards of attractiveness set by our culture. In a world that places a high value on beauty, this validation can boost our self-esteem and sense of belonging.
2. Positive Self-Image: Compliments about our appearance can contribute to a positive self-image. Feeling beautiful can lead to increased self-confidence, which can have a positive ripple effect on various aspects of our lives.
3. Evolutionary Psychology: From an evolutionary perspective, our desire to be considered beautiful may be rooted in the need to attract mates. Throughout human history, attractiveness has been linked to reproductive success, making beauty a desirable trait.
The world's obsession with beauty has given rise to multimillion-dollar industries that shape our daily lives. Cosmetics, fashion, and plastic surgery have become integral parts of our pursuit of beauty and self-expression. While these industries offer transformative potential, they also reflect the complex interplay between societal standards and individual desires.
Feeling good when called beautiful is a testament to the power of beauty in our lives. It is a reminder of the significance of social validation and the enduring human desire to be seen as attractive. As we navigate this beauty-obsessed world, it's essential to remember that beauty comes in many forms, and true self-worth goes beyond appearances......Doesn't it?
The one thing that I appreciate most in life is the fact that I have been blessed with a child.
Well, I probably shouldn't refer to her as a 'child' anymore, she is a young adult. She is an intelligent, beautiful, talented 23 year old woman. And honestly, at every single stage in her life up to this point, she has been more accomplished than I have been or ever could be, simply because I do not have her abilities or intellect. And no, I am not just saying this as a proud or biased parent. I am just stating clean, unadulterated facts.
This young lady has survived despite the fact that her dad and I messed her up mentally. It was unintentional but undeniable. I will leave the details of this for a subsequent post but in summary - excessive pressure in school, not encouraging her to have a life outside of her studies, me focussing on my work and not raising her, our separation, our divorce, her father having either a personality or a mental disorder, and being the one to raise her primarily because her mom was MIA, and the list goes on.....
Sometimes I like to sit and reminisce about how happy, talkative, and friendly she was as a child....but this was before she transitioned into a withdrawn teenager who was subsequetly diagnosed with clinical depression. Even though her mental health challenges have continued into adulthood, she tries to be okay. Tries being the operative word
What is the point of my story?
It is simple:
Raising a kid well is not as easy or straightforward as it may seem. Do NOT have a child if you are not financially or mentally prepared. Do NOT have a child if your living environment and support system is not conducive or suitable.
Take it from me, children are not as tenacious as you may think. Of course, everyone is different but young minds can be quite delicate and fragile. And trust me - you do not want to be the one responsible (whether partially or fully) for damaging your own offspring. They do not need that, this world is heartless enough on it's own.
I have a confession...I am a people watcher.
I must admit that It gives me pleasure to just sit and observe persons in their environment. How they relate to others, their antics, behaviours, emotions and interactions. So chances are, if you are at the airport, a shopping mall or the supermarket, and you feel a pair of eyes on you, it may just be me. Or, it could be a stalker......
(I'm just saying)
I do not pretend to be a psychologist, psychiatrist or any kind of mental health professional, but what I have observed is that the average person just wants to be happy. Even if it's only for a few seconds or minutes. Even if it results in actions that are potentially selfish or can cause self-harm. We will practically do anything for the release of those chemical neurotransmitters (dopamine and seotonin) in the brain, which scientist discovered allow us to feel pleasure.
This is why people smoke.....Everyone knows how dangerous smoking is. Everyone knows that it can lead to heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, lung cancer, bladder cancer, emphysema etc etc...but...all our only interest is the realease of those neurotransmitters. No matter how short-lived it is.
This is why people use cocaine, drink alcohol, have sex, bungee jump, exercise, dance, watch comedies, eat chocolate and the list goes on and on and on. I would even go as far as to say, it is likely why serial killers go after their prey. It's the excitement and happiness that they feel before / during or after the act. Nevermind, it may be viewed as being perverse, by the general populace.
Is it possible that we are all self-centered individuals, just searching for that next 'high' so we can feel good for a few precious minutes?
So, a few days ago, I was having a discussion with an old friend of mine about my self proclaimed introversion, and he said something which startled me....
And I quote, 'But Incognito, I don't really see you as an introvert. When we were in college, you were the one who would go to all the parties and dance up a storm with different people. You were the one who would be out front and center on the dance floor !!"
This stopped me in my tracks and made me say.....hmmmmm.....I have to admit I do love a good party where I can dance to good music and work up a sweat, but.....there needs to be lots of people around, so I can be lost in the crowd.
I also don't mind giving a presentation (sometimes). Let me explain. In my line of work, sometimes I am tasked with having to give powerpoint talks. But there are two essential steps that MUST occur before I am able to do this successfully
1)I have to ensure that I start my preparation for the talk weeks or preferably months before
2) I have to rehearse it over and over and over and over and over again (until i know it without having to look at the slides)
On the day of the presentation, I am ALWAYS a nervous wreck. During the walk to the podium, I am usually drenched with sweat, and my hands are shaking, cold and clammy. When I start to speak, many times my vision goes blurry and I feel nauseated. My voice may quiver for the first few lines. But then I usually take off my shoes (to get comfortable....Yes I hate wearing shoes), and I focus on a spot in the distance, and then as if by magic, I relax and the information flows out of me. And as a matter of fact, I have been congratulated on my prowess at delivering exceptional speeches. However, if something happens that throws me off, for example, if someone asks a difficult question that I am not prepared for, I become a jittery ball of jelly, once more.
So, the question exist, could it be that I am not 100% an introvert? Maybe
So I decided to do some research to see if varying degrees of introversions exist.
And my friends, I don't know if you know this but I have just discovered that introversion and extroversion are on a spectrum and there is such a thing as an ambivert, that lies between the two. The offical definition according to the Oxford English Dictionary is that an amivert is a person who exhibits a balance of extrovert and introvert tendencies or traits.
However, I wouldn't personally say that I have a balance, I may lie between the two extremes, but I trend towards the introversion end.
Where do you fall?
Have you ever felt that you are not be enough?
I mean, deep, deep, deep down inside....have you ever thought to yourself:
And if you do have a talent or gift, why is it that you can't excel?
Personally, I have thoughts like these constantly - feelings of self doubt and insecurities have been plaguing me from as far back as i can remember.
Obviously, I can only speak for myself, but I think that my issue lies in the fact that I have an innate fear of failing.
I have failed many times before and I hate that feeling. It gives me a sense of self loathing. So naturally I want to play it safe, and not venture out. Not take that risk.
But the question is, will I ever achieve anything if I don't try?
Which is worse? The feeling or self-hate or me never achieving anything (which in turn makes me feel worthless)? I really don't know
Another thing I have realized, is maybe if I stopped comparing myself to others, my feelings of inadequacy may be less. But then how will I know if I measure up to the minimum standard?
My thoughts.....
The other day I was on Amazon.com, just looking around.....No, I was not shopping...even though, I admit....I LOVE TO SHOP
Please ignore those items in my cart. I only put them there for decoration
Anyway, back to the story....I saw a book entitled- "How To Talk To Anyone - 92 Little Tricks for Big Success in Relationships' by leil Lowndes. It had a 4.5 star rating from over 11,500 perosns. So immediately my interest was piqued (that's not a word that i use often), so I decide that I am going to chance the $10.59 (inclusive of shipping) and try it.
I am happy to say that I received it... And it starts off with a quote which says:
There are two kinds of people in this life: Those who walk into a room and say, "Well, here I am!" and those who walk in and say, "Ahhh, there you are."
Ooooo, I am so excited to delve into this book. I will let you know how it goes. Here's hoping that I after reading this, I can transition to the first type of person that the book is referring to.....
So this morning I had an epiphany, I will do a bit of research on Chat Gpt on the 5 best ways to make friends. And surely this much talked about AI system will be able to clearly delineate a path that anyone (including me, a self proclaimed introvert) can follow. Making a couple friends is probably not the worse thing in the world, because it would be nice to have someone to talk to sometimes, instead of being so isolated ....Spoiler alert.....Boy, did AI seriously disappoint!!!
Anyway, this is what it said:
1) Initiate Contact...I don't even know if I should even justify this with a response. But I will. How in the world am i supposed to do this, when even the thought of approaching someone, puts me in an extreme state of panic? I can literally feel my heart jump out of my chest, my mouth taste like dust and all thoughts leave my brain. I am like a walking zombie!!
2) Be Approachable and Positive....what does it want me to do? Smile?....Ammmmm...no. Because then someone might just approach me and then it's point # 1 all over again
3)Active Listening.....well I can listen. I'm actually quite good at this, but......in order for me to have someone to listen to, i would have to be in an actual conversation. No one is going to come up to me and just start chatting so that I can listen, without any input from me. And what am i suppose to say in an actual converstaion?
4)Voluneteer / Attend Events...Now for this one I'm definitely not going to answer....Sigh.... Chat Gpt and I had such high hopes for you. I even started off by saying that I had an Epiphany. That's not a word that I use eveyday
5) Utilize Online Platforms....So this may be its one saving grace.... 1 out of 5 is what? 20%. So as you can see I am trying the online platform method. It seems to have some potential. Here, I can talk a bit about myself and have a discussion. There is no time line to find the right words. It's at my own pace. I can delete and rewrite sentences. And in so doing, I can read what I'm about to say as many times as I like before pressing save or publish. So it's less likely for me to say something wrong or completely silly. And if I just so happen to post something stupid, I can delete it, and save myself embarrassment
Anyway, thanks for trying Mr AI system aka Chat GPT.
What would be nice is if persons would actually respond to my post.... Maybe it's too much to ask
Happiness, that elusive and subjective emotion, has been the pursuit of humanity for as long as history can recount. From ancient philosophers to modern self-help gurus, the quest for happiness has remained a central theme in human existence. But could it be that happiness is nothing more than an illusion, a fleeting state of mind that evades our grasp? Let's delve into this question and explore the complexities surrounding the concept of happiness.
**The Illusion of Permanence**
One argument for happiness being an illusion lies in its impermanence. Human emotions are constantly in flux, and what makes us happy today might not have the same effect tomorrow. This transience can give the impression that happiness is a fleeting mirage, disappearing just as we think we've captured it. However, proponents of this view often overlook the nuanced nature of emotions. Just as sadness or anger can be transient, so too can moments of genuine happiness. It's the diversity of emotional experiences that adds depth to our lives
**The Hedonic Treadmill**
The hedonic treadmill theory suggests that humans have a baseline level of happiness to which they inevitably return despite positive or negative events. This phenomenon implies that no matter how many achievements or possessions we accumulate, our happiness tends to revert to a set point. While this might seem to bolster the argument that happiness is an illusion, it's essential to recognize that the theory does not account for the influence of personal growth, meaningful relationships, or the power of perspective. True happiness might not be about reaching a constant state of euphoria but rather finding contentment amid life's fluctuations.
**The Complexity of Comparison**
The rise of social media and constant connectivity has fueled the propensity for people to compare their lives with others'. This tendency can foster feelings of inadequacy and diminish one's sense of happiness. It's true that comparing ourselves to carefully curated online personas can lead to a distorted sense of reality. Yet, it's crucial to remember that genuine happiness is not found by measuring up to external standards but by aligning with one's own values and aspirations.
**The Pursuit of Meaning**
While fleeting pleasures might fade, the pursuit of meaning can offer a more lasting sense of contentment. Engaging in activities that align with our values, building meaningful relationships, and contributing to something greater than ourselves can infuse our lives with a profound sense of purpose. This purpose-driven happiness is far from illusory; it's a testament to the human capacity to derive satisfaction from the depth of experience rather than just the surface-level joys.
In conclusion, labeling happiness as a complete illusion oversimplifies the complexity of human emotions. While happiness might not be a constant, unattainable state, it's far from a mirage. It's a dynamic, evolving aspect of our lives that responds to our mindset, circumstances, and choices. Rather than dismissing happiness as an illusion, we should embrace the ebb and flow of emotions, understanding that the pursuit of meaning and the cultivation of contentment are integral to a fulfilling life. So, is happiness an illusion? Not entirely, but rather a multifaceted journey that requires introspection, resilience, and a willingness to find joy in the present moment.
Are you a cat person or a dog-lover? The age old question....And yes, you do need to choose
We all know that cats are:
1. Independent:
Cats are renowned for their independent nature. They're content spending hours alone, lounging in the sunbeam or perched on a windowsill, which makes them ideal companions for those with busier schedules or smaller living spaces.
2. Low Maintenance:
Cats are generally lower maintenance than dogs. They groom themselves diligently and use a litter box, making them a suitable choice for those who may not have the time or space for regular outdoor walks.
3. Quieter Presence:
For those who appreciate a more tranquil living environment, cats often fit the bill. Their quieter demeanor and softer vocalizations create a peaceful atmosphere that can be especially soothing after a long day.
Dogs on the other hand are:
1. Loyal and form strong bonds:
Dogs are known for their unwavering loyalty and strong bonds with their human companions. They thrive on interaction, often seeking out physical touch and play, fostering a deep sense of companionship and emotional connection.
2. Have an Active Lifestyle:
If you're an avid outdoor enthusiast or someone who craves daily exercise, a dog may be the perfect partner for you. Dogs require regular walks, runs, and playtime, encouraging a healthier and more active lifestyle.
3. Social Interactions:
Dogs are inherently social animals. Taking your furry friend for a stroll in the park or joining dog-related activities can lead to meaningful interactions with fellow dog owners, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie.
Which one do you choose?
In today's fast-paced world, finding meaningful connections can be challenging. The digital age has brought us closer in many ways, yet it often feels like we're farther apart than ever. The constant pressure of presenting a curated image and the obsession with visual perfection can hinder genuine interactions.
