Narcissistic abuse is a form of emotional abuse perpetrated by someone who suffers from narcissism or sociopathy. These individuals have a tendency - whether conscious or unconscious - to use words and language in manipulative ways to damage, alter, or otherwise control their partner's behavior. While all narcissistic abuse generally falls under the description of 'thought control' or 'emotional manipulation, ' there are several ways that narcissists tend to go about this. Some narcissists use manipulative techniques like gaslighting to confuse and disorient their partners so they become more susceptible to their demands and their abuse. Narcissistic abuse can also sometimes be observed in codependent relationships. Narcissists are able to create a relationship with others in which they are dependent upon the narcissist. Strangely, the narcissist tends to be equally as dependent on the other individual - they require them as an outlet for their emotional abuse. Putting themselves above another person makes the narcissist feel good. If you are the victim of narcissistic abuse, the most important thing to keep in mind is that the abuse is not your fault! This is true even if you feel guilty, ashamed or unworthy. It really doesn't matter what you do, all that matters is that you do something - anything - that will lift your spirits and help you shake off the apathy that has set in. A good place to start might be to reconnect with those people you were told were off limits, as well as taking up any hobbies and interests that have fallen by the wayside. Reintegrate yourself back into your passion; get reacquainted with old friends, and introduce yourself to new activities. The golden rule is, 'Don't self-restrict, and if it feels good, do it!'
