I have encountered so many narcissists. They have taken advantage of me for 2 decades. They all were the same but different faces. The same MO. Those experiences have taught me that their treatment of me was a reflection of their own self-loathing. It was never my cross to bear for them. As they slowly destroyed my confidence, I started to gain a different kind of confidence. The kind where no one will get to put those rose colored glasses on me again. I will stand my ground. I will fix the crowns of others and be supportive of myself and every victim that have their own pasts. God has us all and He proves it every single day He allows me to wake up to another day.
