The narcissists smear campaign, what do you do?!

The smear campaign is a classic form of abuse used by many narcissists, it can be brutal, cruel and leave you feeling deeply wounded.
It can also be the catalyst that leads you to fully recognising just the kind of person you have been dealing with, so it can be a huge part of your healing in recovering as its hard to deny or excuse an abuser when they go to your friends, family or colleagues and rip you to shreds.
My advice is, breathe, there is nothing you can do, the more you try to intervene or work with damage limitation the likelihood is it will get worse, and you’ll give the narcissist exactly what they are looking for, more drama, more hurt and more supply for their toxic needs.
Detach as much as you can from anyone involved with the narcissistic, enablers and anyone colluding with them, sometimes we have to step anyway from everyone in our lives, who is still connected to them, in order to find the space we need to fully heal.
Breathe, all storms will end. I have had successive relationships with narcissists and those with narcissistic traits, this has happened to me so many times, I have lost so many friends and had my reputation shredded many times, but I’m still here and now living a peaceful calm and contented life, you wil get there, it will end in time if you do all you can to heal yourself from your trauma. #smearcampaign #narcissisticabuse #cptsd #traumasurvivor #traumarecovery #advice #healingjourney #healingfromabuse #selflove #findingpeace #detachingfromnegativity #drama #enabler #steppingback #retreating #timeout

Ignore the narcissist trying to provoke. They desperately want a reaction so don’t give them it! Ignore, ignore, ignore and eventually you will reach the point of total indifference. At that point they have absolutely no power over you 🙂👍

Im sorry, i dont agree! I think its very important to speak about it, speak the truth! Dont enable anyone to smear you and ruin your life without accountability!🌟🌺❤️

Good luck with that. All you will do is fuel their fire. Wiser to totally ignore, no matter how unfair that seems.

Narcissists need ‘supply’ they create cruel dramas to feed it, if we pull away and don’t interact we are then not feeding their drama, it’s a delicate balance and anyone navigating narcissistic abuse needs proper helps from a therapist who understands what is happening, but the last thing you want to do is fight back, do that quietly with your close friends and family but walk away from anyone caught up in their attack on you, you’ll get nowhere ❤

Not all people are stupid! Almost the majority can see through a narcissist. The enablers are either NPD themselves, or carrying narcissistic traits or co-dependent or they just don’t care.
I have been victim of smearing campaigns and noticed how some people believed the NPD, some watched out and took distance.
With years I found out that smearing campaigns define who they are (smearers), not what you are.
Smearing campaigns are welcome 🤗 because they are a powerful mean to make a natural selection between mentally healthy and smart, empathic people and flying monkeys. 🙈
Learn how to take life more lightly. As long as we don’t get terminal diseases, life is worth to be lived in peace and delight.
They say you are a thief? Be it. A prostitute? Be it. An alien? Be it. Who cares?

@@MellulahYoga plus the side benefit of ignoring them is narcissists absolutely hate to be ignored - it drives them nuts 😁 but ultimately it’s not about getting back at them - it’s about eradicating them from your life and focussing on YOU. By ignoring them you take away any power they had over you. I know it’s not so easy to completely remove them in some circumstances like parenting together but if you don’t have that responsibility then GET THEM OUT OF YOUR LIFE COMPLETELY before they destroy your mental, emotional and physical health ✋ ⛔️ Claim your life back! 🕊

@@MellulahYoga well, in no way i am suggesting that you should confront the abuser, thus creating more drama, absolutely not! I was talking about accountability for, the many Times, Criminal behavior, of the abuser, and we can not have a culture of silence for narcissistic abuse and another for a different kind of Criminal behavior! It actually is very important for the victims of abuse to speak out, Holding the abuser to accountability ,its obvious that those Who do actually heal faster when they DARE to stand up for themselfs, when being smeared by this kind of horrible criminal behavior. , AND it is also important to remember that smear campaignes are actually against the law (in my country as well as in yours, i believe )! We Must get away from the mindset that there is nothing we can do because it only serves the narcissistic abuser!This is not about revenge, it is about reclaiming your truth, your voice and your life! ❤️🌺🌟
