 Narcissists will do this to you in the end. Narcissists will give you all sorts of lies and future faking. They will act as though they're on your side. And they're supporting you. And they will promise you a future. But whatever they have led you to believe you will never get that from the Narcissist. And in fact everyone who has dealt with a Narcissist has experienced the same thing. Not only do you not get whatever they led you to want from them or to believe in, but they also end up destroying your dreams of potential. Your cherished aspirations, ambitions and ideals. These visions that you created in your imagination. All of the things that you wanted to happen very much. And it has a long lasting impact and consequence. It becomes your legacy as a result of their past actions and decisions. It's something that you have to deal with on your own. Because they're not going to be there for you. Even though they stripped you of your potential. They limited your capacity to become something in the future. While you were still and realized and undeveloped. They robbed you of your future. Whether it was something you experienced in your childhood. Or something that you experienced later in life. Because they lied to you. They future faked. They made a false promise about the future. Something that they had no intention of doing. Which they used to control you so that they could get what they want. What it left you holding on as it restrained your freedom. And restricted your full potential. It tied you down and held you back. From being the person that you could have become. The person that the world will never know. The person that you were meant to be. Because they insulted you so many times. And it made you lose confidence in yourself. So you didn't think you were good enough for anything. You didn't take action. Or maybe you were just trapped in a relationship with this person who promised you the world. And said that they would do greater things than they could ever be able to achieve. While they invalidated you. Which only left you to think deeply about this confusing situation. They may have stolen your money or property. And you may have lost a career that showed signs of future success or achievement. They may have gaslighted you into doubting your abilities, knowledge and skill. And even your own sanity. To where you felt like you were losing your mind. You felt like you were going insane. You spent so much time thinking about the things they said. Because you just couldn't understand how they could have no ability to imagine how you feel. It was very confusing. It made you question everything. Until you ended up talking yourself out of your own ambitions. You stopped desiring and wishing for achievements and success. You began to feel hopeless and your level of confidence plummeted. As your situation showed no chance of changing or improving. While you were being gaslighted and validated. And you were experiencing a lot of shame. While overthinking everything that happened to you. Because you feel like you don't even have the right to follow your dreams. As though it's morally wrong or unjustified. For you to work towards something which you desire or hope to accomplish in life. Because you fear that even if you accomplish it. They would only shame you. Or they would try to destroy your success. Which left you feeling like you weren't good enough. So you didn't take the chance to advance your position. You didn't become the person that you could have been. You didn't manage to make your dreams a reality. When you initially had all of these ideas. But in the end you left with the idea that you're stupid. Or that you don't even know who you are. Because it's all just the silence your hopes and ambitions. They laughed at your desires of achieving something. They mocked you. They diminished your accomplishments. They minimized everything you worked hard for. Until one day you accept that you're just fighting a losing battle. You're trying to do something when there is no chance that you will succeed. So you stop trying. Which is exactly what they wanted all along. They sabotaged your dreams. Because they're very insecure. They couldn't tolerate your success. So they deliberately destroyed it. They undermined your aspirations. Because their fragile ego could not tolerate your success. They saw your success as a threat to their ego. It affected their identity and self-esteem. Which wasn't even a genuine sense of self. It was a false sense. Because it was tied to your success or lack of success. It wasn't independent of it. So it wasn't genuine. They kept you stuck to prop up their false character. Because what you had was real. You established something out of your own love. For wanting to give value and contribute something to the world. Which are incredible things that the world would never get to see. Because a fragile narcissist couldn't tolerate your success. Which is contrary to how a normal person would see things. Because a normal person would want to talk about your dreams. I know for myself. That there's nothing that brings me more joy. Than to know that I am making a difference in people's lives. Even though I may not have had the best start in life. But when you're dealing with a narcissist. It's like instead of running a sprint you're running a marathon. And not only that but they tie a weight around your ankle. They set you up to fail in life. They prevented you from becoming your best self. Because not only did they not care about the magnificent things that could have happened for you. They also didn't care about the impact that it could have had on the world. And it's a painful thing to accept. But yes the only person they care about is themselves. Even if it is at the expense of everyone else. So in the end you learn to accept less than what you really deserve. You're forced to limit yourself and give up on your dreams. Because they needed you more than you needed them. Which is why your success was so terrifying for them. And it's why they restricted your freedom. They limited your power to act speak and think as you want without hindrance or restraint. In the end they destroyed you. And they don't even give you an explanation. You're left to figure it out on your own. You're left to repair the damage that they caused. And not only that but they do it under the guise of a joke. In order to deceive you and give you a mistaken impression. So that you continue to trust them. And then they can continue to get what they want from you. Which is why they expect things to return to normal. They may even expect you to laugh along with them. Even though they were the cause of your own ruin. Because if you get upset or you show concern. Or even if you start crying. You're just too sensitive. You're too serious. And you have an inability to find things funny. They will continue to blame you. And they will never stop what they're doing. Or being actively involved in their mockery and ridgical of you. In order to think about what they have said or done. Because they don't see anything wrong with destroying people's dreams and limiting their potential. And their minds is a funny story. It's just a joke. And if you didn't get the punchline. Then the joke's on you. Thank you for watching. If you found this video helpful please give it a thumbs up.
