What It Feels Like to Experience Narcissistic Abuse
Living through narcissistic abuse can be deeply painful and confusing. Many people describe the experience as both overwhelming and disorienting - like losing your sense of stability, self, and trust in your own reality.
Constant Self-Doubt
Gaslighting and manipulation can make you question your own memories and emotions. You may find yourself wondering, “Am I overreacting? Am I the problem?”
Walking on Eggshells
It may feel like you can never relax. You might carefully monitor everything you say or do to avoid conflict, criticism, or silent treatment.
Emotional Highs and Lows
Narcissistic relationships often swing between affection and cruelty. One day you may feel adored, and the next you’re dismissed or devalued. This rollercoaster keeps you off balance and craving the rare moments of kindness.
Loss of Identity
Over time, your voice and needs may shrink. You may start to feel invisible, as though your wants, accomplishments, or feelings don’t matter.
Isolation and Loneliness
Narcissistic abuse often cuts you off—sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly—from friends, family, and support systems. Even in a crowded room, you may feel utterly alone.
Exhaustion and Emotional Fog
The cycle of tension, conflict, and manipulation can leave you feeling depleted. Many survivors describe it as living in constant anxiety, never truly at peace.
