If you find yourself feeling like the victim of your partner’s disdainful actions day after day, year after year, chances are that you’re experiencing narcissistic abuse syndrome. If this is something that resonates with you then it’s time to do some serious exploring on what’s happening in your life and how to begin healing.
With help from psychologists and experts on the condition, we’ve put together a list of ten strong signs that could mean you need help leaving your toxic relationship.
1. You have a deep-seated feeling of being unloved, rather than being loved as yourself
If you feel as though you’re never good enough for your narcissistic partner then it’s highly likely that they are projecting their negative feelings onto you. All narcissists have a distorted sense of self-love and therefore find it all but impossible to love anybody else as themselves.
In order to do this, they first need to understand what true love is by healing their own inner wounds first and foremost. Until they do this, the narcissist is likely going to carry on making you feel as though nobody truly loves or accepts you for who you truly are.
