A Warning

This is a warning to those who continue to deal with toxic individuals such as psychopaths and narcs, that if you continue to endure and put up with them, you will eventually end up like I have -- paranoid

My first experience with a Narc was over 17 years ago, and he affected me so bad that all I was attracted to has been dysfunction.

I honestly don't think I would have tolerated all the abuse I received from men had it not been for him and it has taken some serious self evaluation for me to find out where this began.

I CHOOSE dysfunctional men because at least I know they are dysfunctional. Sounds silly but for me, I don't need to be blind sided by a charming man, who has my family fooled, me fooled, all of my friends fooled, and so in love then turn right around and be a low down dirty liar.

I stand here and admit (especially to Spinning because you remember my story and what I was like when I first got here), the LAST guy, you know the one related to the "celebrity", I SAW from the first words he told me that there was a problem because he told me from the jump before we even talked on the phone that he had a previous record, was/is an alcoholic.

That should have gotten me to step back and not put my heart into the situation thinking this man was my friend and was sincere.

I chose to tell him my personal business and believe him.

Anyone that can tell you from the jump that they "hate their mother and father", "has a criminal background", shows coldness even online PURPOSELY, uses their own brother (or family member) to gain their own little spot light, I could go on and on, but all of the warning signs were there, because why would someone, who is related to a public figure be so open with a complete stranger online if they didn't have an ulterior motive.

Now because of all of this shit I've endured, its confirmed to me that I suffer with a form of PTSD.

Every person I meet, male or female, I don't trust at all.

I feel like everyone has an ulterior motive or a personality that the are hiding from me, and now I'm so sick, that I would rather be around people that I know are messed up because its less of a fall when they do stab me in the back.

I remember when I was not like this.

Sure I had my up's and downs, but when I met people, I never had problems when trembling as if I'm about to get attacked.

When I'm in a room of people I have panic attacks, and now have become so phobic of being hurt again, that now I don't even deal with anyone.

If I don't take my medication when I sleep, I have shivers and panic attacks in my sleep.

I've had suicidal thoughts (which I'm very open with my therapist about).

I just don't care anymore.

This last guy was the icing on the cake, because like my ex-fiance', he left me hanging. I don't know which things that angered him so much caused him to discard me.

Was it me telling him my weight? His paranoid thinking I was phishing for a story or me taking him on my facebook friend list?

Now because of this, I'm even afraid to lose weight because if he did get rid of me because of my weight, I don't want to lose weight, become attractive then have the possibility of someone blind siding me again.

This is what you become when you keep allowing someone to abuse you.

You live your life in bubble, and no one should have to live this way.

Oh kizzy72, I wish I could

Oh kizzy72, I wish I could hug you. This is so heartbreaking. And I can relate, too. I was blindsided by a man I had been with for 15 yrs (married for 9 1/2 of those yrs). He had everybody fooled -- me, friends, family. I dated another who had an entire town fooled, including me. I was fooled until he told me I was basically his unpaid prostitute. And THEN there was CharlieSheenWinning who was the devil I knew and at least I knew he was disordered. Didn't help to know that. So, I'm here. I don't want to date/love/trust. No thanks. The thought of a guy wanting me makes me want to run away. Fast. I hope you learn to trust again -- I hope I do, too.

Thank you Lobo

For understanding. And yes that is what makes it so bad is how they have everyone fooled, then on top of that to use their own family to fool you and back-stab you. My ex-fiance' was married for two years in Germany, still writing me love letters and his father knew, and never told me. They both had me sitting here waiting for him. That's the thing that scares me the most and causes the biggest problem; the not knowing what they will do or are doing behind your back, and even after all he's done, he still blames me FOR HIM BEING MARRIED AND IN THE MESS HE'S IN. He told me two years ago that he would not be going through hell if "IIIIIIII" had married him. I only postponed our wedding because my mother got ill at the time. I hate that they blame everyone else, then leave you believing that something is wrong with you. I'm still sitting here obsessing on "What did I do or say wrong" with this last guy, and I can't understand it, I really can't because I NEVER MET HIM. I can't understand how he could sit there on the phone with me portraying himself to be a Christian/God fearing man, reading the Bible to me, yet curse me out, belittle me, then hang up on me and leave me hanging. I'm SO tired, because now I can't even trust people that go to church. I'm so angry that I told him so many intimate details about myself, that now even in my therapy sessions, I hold back a lot because I don't trust my therapist. I fear what he's done with the information I shared me him. And it hurts, because it was never about him. It was about my art work and my art work was dedicated to his brother, now he's probably smeared my name to him and never told him about the website I did. I hate feeling like this, watching others have a normal social life and wondering what is so wrong with me that I can't have the same. Why must I always be perfect and do whatever other people want me to do in order to be treated with kindness. I'm so angry and hurt right now I could scream. I wasted all of this time, 17+ years living and breathing thinking something is wrong with me that I have never had a REAL relationship with a man. My father died never being able to walk me down the isle, never being given a grandchild. This prick knew how messed up I am, and he took advantage of me. I just want some sort of payback. I want him exposed.

Also....

I should have known something wasn't right with him when he called me the second time because he asked me what I did for a living (which he already asked me), and I told him I'm a legal secretary, and became snarky saying "umm yeah, my mother was a legal secretary" -- you know the mother he hates. I guess he thought I was lying about what I did or he hates his mother so much that anything similar to her turns him into a raging maniac. Its like the minute he got on the phone he was paranoid and defensive, verbally abusive, abrasive and I can't figure out why. Then he went on and on about how "you have to listen to me, because my brother is not listening right now". Everything was a comparison to me and his celebrity brother. I should have stood up for myself, but I guess that's what I did when I asked him why he got fired a year ago. I just don't know why or which situation made him end the friendship.

"I'm still sitting here

"I'm still sitting here obsessing on "What did I do or say wrong" with this last guy, and I can't understand it, I really can't because I NEVER MET HIM." So true! You never met him -- and no one will. He's a phony behind a mask. I don't know if you'll ever know exactly what made him end the friendship. These guys are so nasty and confusing -- it's like trying to unravel the world's largest ball of twine. It hurts so bad. But you aren't alone. So many kind, intelligent, wonderful people are on this board. We all got fooled. Hell, one of my best friends who is a psychologist got fooled by a narc! Was happily married, the narc reappeared, and he sucked her in again! Now you are armed with knowledge, just as my friend is, and just as I am. I'm going to use it like a shield to protect me from anyone else who isn't a true and good soul.
