  • Because you are good, kind, compassionate, or pleasing person, you may not realize the ways in which you are enabling a narcissist to continue behaving badly.
    You know that you cannot stop their behavior, but you can take positive steps to stop enabling their behavior, and take your own power back. Listen in for the how-tos!
    Here's an early episode of my podcast on this topic too:

    * * Remember, narcissists and other toxic people come in all genders and ages * *
    and toxic relationships can be at home, at work, at play... with your parent, boss, spouse, sibling, friend, co-worker.

    It’s just such a stressful situation because regardless of your decision, you’ll second guess and beat yourself up for it

    I don’t owe people anything and they don’t owe me anything either, rule number number one is don’t expect anything from anyone,turn people loose when they don’t reciprocate . When people show who they are first time believe them. I don’t enable people anymore.

    My husband said he should move back in with me because he will make my life better. 😆

      @ForRelationshipHelp  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well, how self-centered and narcissistic is that! I suggest you tell him to make your life much better for a year before you consider letting him move back in. Only sustained change over a long period of time will do, in my books. How are you responding?

    Awareness of how you might enable them, they are takers, make you wrong for not giving them enough, they wanted an over giver - you !
    Don't give them benefit of doubt !
    Don't be too ready to give them too much
    Have boundaries & don't go beyond them
    Don't rationalise or justify their poor behaviour because of their stress etc - they can get help if they need it
    Don't feel sorry for them when they run the victim lines by you - you didn't break them you can't fix them
    Don't make excuses for them as it's not healthy l
    Confront the behaviour (although they will never accept their bad behaviour )
    It means you will put upfront a difference of opinion
    Enable means give someone authority to do something or makes something possible for them to continue their bad or destructive behaviour
    Public picture - perfection
    Private picture - difficult rude bad behaviour and controlling

    I pulled back from a taker. I believe he. took my kind heartheartness for being a easy target. Met online...long distance. Never met. He took and took and i caved in. He was relentless. I am doing full break. Its my life not his.

    • @ForRelationshipHelp
      @ForRelationshipHelp  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It could be that you have a inbalance between compassion for others and compassion for yourself. You may be afraid of saying no to a Hijackal. You may need to be needed (co-dependence.) You may feel that having boundaries with consequences is "tough on people." (And, no. It's healthy!) SO many reasons.

    Enabling is helping that really hurts everyone - don't turn into a doormat,
    Where is the equality ?
    Plus they get away with poor behaviour & they can continue abusing you

    What if you feel you may have some of these tendencies when you didn't before you meet the narcissist? But my parents was also.

    • @ForRelationshipHelp
      @ForRelationshipHelp  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's what's known as Hijackal fleas. You get them from being around Hijackals. Because you can recognize that you acquired these, you can usually change these tendencies into some that are healthier and will make you happier with your self and in life. I wish you well.
