Because you lost you! The damage of not being seen & heard as a individual, then the day in & day out of invalidation, criticizing, ridiculing, belittling, being held with contempt and having your needs, wants, and feeling minimize…everything you say and do is controlled and little by little you lose yourself. You are told Overtly or Covertly that you don't make any sense and you can't do anything right and everything is wrong with you…you are just wrong and after enough time passes you start to question yourself then you start to believe it. You were dehumanize!

Narcissistic Abuse is no joke. It robs you of everything that makes you-you! You might be told that you laugh to loud and it is annoying, so you stop laughing so loud, but then, you find yourself not laughing at all. You are mocked for everything

You learn not ...
