Another Pointless Narc Moment
Or Why Your Comments are Always Wrong, Irrelevant, Ignored
Having a Narc in your life and writing about it on Medium can be a double-edged sword.
The good things: The ability to express your confusion and frustration; to learn more about the insidiousness of being enmeshed with a Narc; and to discover a supportive community.
The bad things (for me anyway)? Maybe dwelling on it too much? Or, when things are going OK, the guilt of feeling I have over-shared or been too harsh?
The result of the latter is that I go for long periods of not writing at all. Although I do compose hundreds of pieces in my head, the thought of committing them to paper mentally drags me down and seems just too overwhelming for words.
Also, the crazy-making of a Narc can sometimes be so hard to explain. The incidents can seem so trivial to anyone other than the person subjected to them that it seems itself crazy to commit them to writing. The incidents can also be unexplainable to yourself.
Trying to recall the word salad and the circular back-and-forth can put you in such a spin you start to wonder if maybe you aren’t the crazy one.
Did I “misunderstand”, Did I “mis-hear”. Am I “difficult”? “Argumentative”?
