So the first part was written in the 2010's and the second part more recently when I started to realise that I'm surrounded by narcissists and their language is very different from ours.


You think the narcissist will notice?

You think maybe he'll notice that I tried?
No, he won’t
He’ll blame me if things go wrong
But he won’t notice
The effort it took to get this done.

So from today
Just accept silence as high praise
Feedback as interest in the process
And when he yells
It just means
He’s scared.

this is true.
accepting is first part, i will say.
there is more work to be done but the accepting part itself is so exhausting that there is little space left for much else but then other parts come in their own time on this path of awareness and self- care.

Oh dear. What a shame that a relationship should involve this.
