This 100% hits home for me. I’ve just recently gotten out of a very emotionally abusive relationship with someone with npd and moved to a new state to be closer to my sister and nephew. Even though I have not let fear win all the time, I still think I’m “protecting” myself and overthink mostly everything. There was a “friend speed dating event” in a local city. I’m currently unemployed so I used the excuse that I shouldn’t spend the money right now when it really was the fear taking over. Totally disappointed that I didn’t go. I could’ve made connections, maybe even met someone who knows someone who’s hiring. Could’ve made an actual friend- wow 🤯 🤦🏻♀️ thanks for this post. So needed right now.
I wish the man I care for deeply could read this…
