They change themselves for any person or group

What did you do?

The warning is real

Although he predicted it would end this way

Yes

This is a NORMAL reaction to abuse

And the longer you remain in these circumstances the worse the physical response in your body becomes.  I developed a shaking disorder and had panic attacks. 

The only thing that matters

I am dead inside.

It was very true.

No no. No

[REPOST] Why they don't change

The mask

With friends and coworkers, they put on the mask of everybody's friend.

At home, behind closed doors, they are bitter and angry and blame their partner for every bad thing in their life.

Is the apology real

Red flags

I only miss what I thought was real

I've been in this room many times

This is exactly what it looked like.

Yes. He did.

Real love does not die. It is killed.

Because it is all true

Because it is impossible to see when you are in the thick of it...

I tried so hard to convince myself that what I had was real

There was always a nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach.  I worked so hard to convince others and myself that what I had was a perfectly normal marriage.  Far from it.

They bring me right back to the truth of those moments

They know, but don't want anyone else to know.

They tell you how you feel

You lose all the time you invested with them

A question we ask every day

Anyone who has been discarded by a narcissist asks this question

No I did not enjoy crying
