Toxic relationships

People who manage their lives effectively are generally those who work internally who know that success and well-being comes from within (internal locus of control). Negative people generally work externally – i.e. blame others or outside events for everything that does or doesn’t happen (external locus of control).

When emotionally strong people feel good about something they’ve done, they don’t let anyone’s shallow opinions or spiteful remarks take that away from them.

You are in control of keeping yourself safe emotionally. If someone shows you that they aren’t emotionally safe, you have to take initiative and protect yourself. #selfcarequotes #mentalhealthwellness #mentalhealthrecovery #vulnerabilityisstrength #vulnerability #toxicrelationships #toxicpeople #toxicfamily #sherrynafehlmft #toxicrelationship #selfawarenessquotes #selfconfidenceboost #selfconfidenceiskey #selfcarethreads #selfcarelove #womanempowerment #womancare #mindfulnessquotes copingskills101 #mindfullnessmoment #mindfulmft #parentingquotes #parentinglife

Are you in a toxic relationship?

Are you in a frustrating #relationship with someone who expects constant attention, but doesn’t seem able to take your needs and feelings into consideration? Do they lack empathy & compassion and disregard your wants and needs? 

Someone who thinks they’re better, wiser, smarter and ridicules your family and friends? Are they charming to the outside world?  Does he insult you and if even try standing up for yourself, fly off the handle. If so, your in a relationship with a #narcissist.  Those with don’t actually #love themselves but are in love with an unrealistic, magnificent image of themselves. These individuals  pop confused and neurotic in love with this self-image  because it allows them to repress deep feelings of hurt and pain. Living a double life, and feeding in to the their delusions takes a great deal of effort and that’s where the #dysfunctionalattitudes and #behaviors become problems. People with narcissistic personality disorder are extremely resistant to behavior change, even when it’s causing them problems in all areas of their life. Their tendency is to turn the #blame on to others, than to take ownership and work on that wounded part. For the people in the narcissist’s life, it’s often easier to surrender to  their demands to avoid the consequences of their behavior. If you see yourself in the description above reach out and get help. #narcissist #narcissisticabuse #narcissisticabuserecovery #narcissticrelationships
