Quote from Elizabeth Mika, like attracts like:
if you think having toxic people in your life is devastating, imagine the ones in power. Bandy Lee said dont give toxic people power, they wont know what to do with it so they destroy everything
This narcopath dude on twitter is always on a role:

interesting interview. I remember reading a quote on twitter: "Abusers are dictators without a nation"

Bandy Lee is an expert on the pathology of abusers. I always quote her.

you can tell i am on leave cant you...i have time to share more gems. had a bad week. i was feeling down so now I am sharing with you in the hope i can lift someone. This takes me back to my #narcissisticabuse twitter days. Notice it is all in 2020. I collected these while working from home during lockdown. One of the periods of growth in my life. I did not waste it. I hope this helps in some way.
for some people it is a game:
OMG this... THIS! (Quote from Ryan North)
Listen to your gut:
Niceness is an act. Kindness is a character trait:
When they chase you it may mean they like you, it may mean they want to control you...
I always wonder why people rev their cars when they drive past. They are telling on themselves:
power is a poison, a primitive drive:
Cats are like this. Learn from cats:
“About one in twenty-five individuals are sociopathic, meaning, essentially, that they do not have a conscience. It is not that this group fails to grasp the difference between good and bad; it is that the distinction fails to limit their behavior. The intellectual difference between right and wrong does not bring on the emotional sirens and flashing blue lights, or the fear of God, that it does for the rest of us. Without the slightest blip of guilt or remorse, one in twenty-five people can do anything at all.”
― Martha Stout, The Sociopath Next Door
Dont tolerate it. Learn to love yourself:
The way to win is to not play:

It is the one year anniversary of the physical DV incident.
It took a fair amount of self-talk to do the 2 hour drive south. I was scared of being triggered once I got to my friend's house.
It was the opposite no triggers, no panic attacks. If anything I had a feeling of calm and control. Which baffles me.
Any thoughts?
Had dinner with my friend’s loaded my car and drove two hours home. Arrived 45 minutes ago. I’m still very relaxed and happy.

@scruffypuffball I almost needed to call a catholic priest to exercise the Narcissist Memory Demon from post. So graphic it was disturbing to read, because all those statements are true and real.
It happened to us @scruffypuffball and I am very grateful to you for your honesty, for not letting me stand alone.
Grief is love that has no where to go. This morning my tears of grief are for the person I was. I kissed her goodbye as she died. I am not her, I am in progress of becoming, me.
