people seem to think that narcissists are fearless. But there are three specific words that hit me

like a physical punch, like a physical punch to the gut, like an uppercut from Rocky Baboa himself.

As a diagnosed narcissist, I'm going to tell you why these words trigger the rage you sometimes see

from a narcissist or a toxic person

y'all if you don't know what the three words are what's your guess got it okay the three words are

i am leaving like seriously when you say that to, my brain doesn't hear a boundary.

It doesn't hear that, right?

It doesn't hear just like you setting up a small, simple boundary.

My brain hears and feels and registers a total loss of power.

To me, being left means, it literally means that I failed. I, just thinking about it right now y'all is hitting me in the head right now being left being abandoned as some narcissists might say right as I might even say like being abandoned makes me feel like I failed like it makes me feel like I failed to control the

narrative it makes me feel like I failed to control you it makes me feel like a bad person so instead of

asking you to stay like a normal person would I I switch into attack mode I'll bring up your past

I'll blame your family, your friends.

Look, I'll make you feel like the failure.

I'll make you feel like you're the reason why this relationship failed.

You're the reason why this marriage failed.

Like, y'all, literally, it's a defense mechanism to make sure you don't feel better than me as you walk out that door.

I know it sounds, yeah, I know it sounds literally insane,

but that's how my mind works.

When you say I am leaving, my mind goes in a,

I, it's just like, it's short, yeah,

it damn near short circuits me.
