Years after our relationship with the psychopath ends, we are still left with a fear and anxiety inducing uncertainty that if we were to ever run into our narcissist ex again or get involved with another toxic person, that we would suffer thru the same torment and psychological torture all over again.
In the past we never had the confidence or ability of calling out the narcissist and instead would enable them more and somehow ignore our intuition and convince ourselves that they were innocent. This questionable behavior was most likely developed thru the psychopath’s many tools of manipulation such as gaslighting.
