Do you feel like you have to share the same opinions with someone else to keep peace? Do you walk on egg shells? Do you avoid speaking up when you feel controlled? Do you feel guilt when thinking about doing things for yourself? Is there someone in your life who is shaming and critical of you if you don’t meet their demands? Children who are raised by a Narcissistic parent, grow up choosing relationships that are conditional. They believe others care for them if they meet certain criteria. They are trying to accomplish what it takes to feel worthy and may become narcissistic themselves. Those who don’t feel confident in their self worth, choose relationships with abusive people. See this MedCircle video on recognizing the behaviors of those raised by Narcissists & how to overcome by seeking out an emotionally healthy person who has your back. Some people won’t love you no matter what you do. Some people won’t stop loving you, no matter what you do. Go where the love is. -Eleanor Brownn
