Avevo finalmente trovato la pace e stavo ricominciando a essere felice.<\/p>\r\n<p>I was finding myself and loving myself and felt a sense of comfort that only God can provide. I wasn\u2019t looking for anyone new because I had finally accepted the fact I was alone and was actually okay with it.<\/p>\r\n<p>Then he came along\u2026 and my world flipped upside down.<\/p>\r\n<p>There is so much to say, it\u2019s going to be hard for me to stay on track but I am going to start from the beginning when it was amazing because, without that part, you won\u2019t understand why it ended the way it did &#8211; you won\u2019t understand what a narcissist is unless you know it all.<\/p>\r\n<p>Like I said, I wasn\u2019t looking for anyone. He found me\u2026 he CHOSE me.<\/p>\r\n<p>I got a message one day, asking when I would let him take me out on a date and show me how I\u2019m supposed to be treated.<\/p>\r\n<p>He would have me, \u201cThrowing rocks at all the other guys.\u201d Well, that sounded real smooth but at that point, I was still not ready, so I turned him down.<\/p>\r\n<p>A month later, I got another message; this time he wasn\u2019t asking me out, just making small talk. He needed a favor and being the helpful person I am, I agreed, not knowing I was opening myself up to one of the biggest lessons I would learn in my life.<\/p>\r\n<p>After a month of talking and him making himself out to be a really great guy, we decided to go out one night. It was game over from there\u2026 I was hooked.<\/p>\r\n<p>Mi ha fatto sentire come se potessi parlare con lui di qualsiasi cosa. Aveva passato cose simili a quelle che avevo passato io, un brutto divorzio, un matrimonio tossico, la perdita di un genitore.<\/p>\r\n<p>He made me feel safe, something I hadn\u2019t felt in so long. He was like walking into a house and feeling at home. It would take me almost two years to realize that place that felt like home was <a href=\"https:\/\/herway.net\/it\/love\/lettera-narcisista-non-piu-prigioniera\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in realt\u00e0 una prigione<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15152 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/christopher-windus-92825-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Donna dietro la griglia\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/christopher-windus-92825-unsplash.jpg 800w, https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/christopher-windus-92825-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/christopher-windus-92825-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>My friends tried to tell me I was stupid for letting my guard down as fast as I did but it just felt right\u2026 he felt right.<\/p>\r\n<p>It was nice to laugh with someone instead of fighting with them and that\u2019s what we did.<\/p>\r\n<p>Ridevamo sempre. Ci piaceva la stessa musica e gli stessi programmi televisivi, condividevamo interessi simili in cos\u00ec tante cose che non eravamo mai a corto di argomenti di cui parlare. Potevamo rimanere svegli per ore a parlare.<\/p>\r\n<p>Era misterioso in un certo senso e silenzioso, ma potevo dire che c'erano tante cose che gli passavano per la testa e io ero determinata a sapere tutto.<\/p>\r\n<p>I tried to learn about him without him knowing\u2026 I wanted to know why he was the way he was, his quirks, what made him tick, I wanted to know about every scar, every tattoo, every story he would give me bits and pieces of.<\/p>\r\n<p>I kept telling myself not to fall so fast because I know how I love\u2026 I love hard so when I fall, it\u2019s swan-diving into it without any second thought but he made it so easy to fall.<\/p>\r\n<p>Ha reso cos\u00ec facile far cadere quel muro che avevo passato mesi a riparare e ricostruire. Il muro per il quale avevo giurato a me stessa che avrei fatto lavorare qualcuno.<\/p>\r\n<p>I tried to play hard to get, I really did. But he flipped the script on me so fast. Before I knew it, I was the one trying to break his walls down and prove to him I wasn\u2019t, \u201clike the rest of them.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>All'inizio ho visto delle bandiere rosse, ma pensavo di essere solo io insicura e di proiettare il mio passato su questa relazione attuale. Continuavo a ripetermi che stavo pensando troppo alle cose e che lui meritava una possibilit\u00e0.<\/p>\r\n<p>Even though my gut was telling me something wasn\u2019t right, my heart was telling me yes it was. So I fought harder for him than I ever did for anyone in my life, even the 5-year marriage I had just gotten out of.<\/p>\r\n<p>Ero determinata a far funzionare le cose perch\u00e9 lo amavo con ogni fibra del mio essere, volevo sistemare tutto ci\u00f2 che era rotto in lui dal suo passato e volevo non commettere gli stessi errori che avevo commesso nelle mie relazioni passate.<\/p>\r\n<p>Ho fatto tutto per lui e anche di pi\u00f9.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Non c'\u00e8 una sola parte di me che pensi che avrei potuto fare meglio, sforzarmi di pi\u00f9 o amarlo pi\u00f9 di quanto ho fatto, perch\u00e9 so senza ombra di dubbio che ho dato 110%, se non di pi\u00f9.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Ci \u00e8 voluto circa un anno prima che il suo vero io cominciasse a manifestarsi.<\/p>\r\n<p>Il ragazzo che mi faceva sentire al sicuro, che non alzava mai la voce e non litigava mai con me, stava iniziando a mostrarmi un lato di s\u00e9 che era oscuro e poco lusinghiero. Tuttavia, lo amavo, quindi ero disposta a passarci sopra.<\/p>\r\n<p>Ero appena uscita da una relazione in cui litigavamo ogni giorno e ci parlavamo male, quindi mi rifiutavo di farlo di nuovo.<\/p>\r\n<p>Quando voleva litigare, io me ne andavo senza badare a quante parole sarcastiche e <a href=\"https:\/\/herway.net\/it\/relationship\/segnali-relazione-passiva-aggressiva\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">passivo-aggressivo<\/a> commenti che avrei voluto dire, anche se avevo imparato a capire cosa lo spingeva.<\/p>\r\n<p>Gli dissi che non avevo intenzione di fare il lavoro sporco per lui, che non avrei ceduto al suo tentativo di litigare e poi di tirarmi fuori la follia per poi rivoltarla contro di me. Avevo gi\u00e0 percorso quella strada e mi rifiutavo di tornarci.<\/p>\r\n<p>Instead of fighting with him, I would just apologize for things that I didn\u2019t do.<\/p>\r\n<p>Cercavo di migliorare la situazione, ma mi tenevo le cose dentro e questo mi uccideva, perch\u00e9 non sono mai stato il tipo di persona che tiene a freno la lingua o si allontana da un litigio.<\/p>\r\n<p>One of the things I liked about him was that he didn\u2019t like to go out and party and I was totally fine with that but it became a bit much when we couldn\u2019t even go out to eat at restaurants or go to places we were invited with family or friends.<\/p>\r\n<p>Siamo diventati eremiti e ogni volta mi giustificavo per lui. Ben presto mi resi conto che questo serviva solo a isolare me, non lui.<\/p>\r\n<p>Mi sono persa tante cose perch\u00e9 mi sentivo in colpa ad andare senza di lui. <strong>Ero ai suoi ordini e mi aveva completamente avvinto al suo dito.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Sono sempre stata una persona forte, molto intuitiva e in grado di capire le cose abbastanza facilmente. Quindi, come ho permesso che tutto questo andasse avanti per cos\u00ec tanto tempo prima di iniziare a mettere insieme i pezzi?<\/p>\r\n<p>I fucking loved him, that\u2019s why.<\/p>\r\n<p>Narcissists use empathetic people as fuel. They choose their prey wisely. I wasn\u2019t special to him, I was merely a target.<\/p>\r\n<p>Quando ho iniziato a portare il suo <a href=\"https:\/\/herway.net\/it\/citazione-di-luce-e-buio\/\">dall'oscurit\u00e0 alla luce<\/a> e mostrargli che mi stavo accorgendo di ci\u00f2 che era e di ci\u00f2 che stava accadendo, non ha fatto altro che peggiorare le cose e alla fine \u00e8 stato il vero motivo per cui se n'\u00e8 andato.<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15153 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/umit-bulut-143016-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Uomo in riva al lago\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/umit-bulut-143016-unsplash.jpg 800w, https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/umit-bulut-143016-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/umit-bulut-143016-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>Ogni giorno mi sentivo esausta perch\u00e9 lui mi prosciugava la vita.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>All of my time and energy was spent on trying to please him, not provoke him, tiptoe on eggshells so I wouldn\u2019t hurt his fragile little ego.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>I had never met a man who was so sensitive when it came to someone joking with him. It seemed like anything I said or did was offensive and eventually, I just didn\u2019t want to talk at all.<\/p>\r\n<p>Non sono una persona stupida, ma ho lasciato che la cosa andasse avanti molto pi\u00f9 a lungo di quanto avrei dovuto.<\/p>\r\n<p>Una volta che ho iniziato a capire con cosa avevo a che fare, sarei stata dannata se avessi lasciato che continuasse. Passai giorni a documentarmi sul suo comportamento e sugli schemi che stavano diventando sempre pi\u00f9 frequenti.<\/p>\r\n<p>It didn\u2019t take me long after that to realize <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thealternativedaily.com\/6-scary-signs-you-are-in-love-with-a-narcissist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ero innamorata di un narcisista<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p>It\u2019s definitely true when they say hindsight is 20\/20 because all of the signs I had ignored in the beginning and all of the things I thought were great about him came crashing into my mind like a burst dam.<\/p>\r\n<p>I realized that this man could never love ANYONE, much less me! All of the things he did in the beginning, the person I had fallen in love with\u2026 that was ME!<\/p>\r\n<p>Aveva rispecchiato le mie emozioni, la mia personalit\u00e0, i miei tratti, e li aveva usati per farmi innamorare di lui.<strong> I wasn\u2019t in love with him\u2026 I was in love with myself.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Quando ha deciso di lasciarmi, c'\u00e8 stato un momento in cui mi ha spezzato il cuore.<\/p>\r\n<p>Then it was like I\u2019d had an epiphany. I could either let this make me or break me and come hell or high water I was NOT going to let this man take any more from me than he already had.<\/p>\r\n<p>L'ho rigirata e l'ho usata come carburante. Non mi avrebbe trasformato in una donna amareggiata. Ero migliore di cos\u00ec. Sono migliore di cos\u00ec.<\/p>\r\n<p>Mi \u00e8 servito che se ne andasse per capire che mi ero innamorata di me stessa molto tempo fa.<\/p>\r\n<p>He tried to break me but he didn\u2019t. He left me but I found me.<\/p>\r\n<p>Ho preso il fuoco che avevo dentro di me, che una volta combattevo per lui, e ho iniziato a combattere per me stessa.<\/p>\r\n<p>The day I watched him pull out of the driveway, I didn\u2019t even shed a tear. It was almost like a weight had been lifted.<\/p>\r\n<p>I\u2019m not going to lie and say that I didn\u2019t have my moments or that there weren\u2019t times I thought I missed him. We had several good memories together so of course, I missed those but I couldn\u2019t allow myself to stay in that feeling because even though those moments were real, <a href=\"https:\/\/herway.net\/it\/ricordi-di-un-narcisista\/\">i ricordi sono accaduti<\/a>\u2026 the person he pretended to be during those times was not.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Dovevo rendermi conto che avevo dormito accanto a un uomo, per quasi due anni, a cui non era mai importato nulla di me e non gli dava fastidio quando piangevo, non gli dava fastidio quando mi faceva del male. <a href=\"https:\/\/herway.net\/it\/love\/never-loved-loved-idea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Non mi ha mai amato<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>We all want closure after a break-up, but sometimes you just don\u2019t get the closure you want or think you need.<\/p>\r\n<p>A volte la chiusura consiste nell'andare avanti e migliorare se stessi.<\/p>\r\n<p>A volte non ci sono spiegazioni o razionali.<\/p>\r\n<p>Sometimes you just end up with a shitty person, a heartless man, someone who is incapable of feeling love or remorse. So as much as we want to believe that these types of people will realize what they had and lost one day, it\u2019s bullshit.<\/p>\r\n<p>They will not miss us, they will not think about us and they will never regret doing what they did to us because they don\u2019t feel love like we feel love. They had every intention of leaving from the moment they picked us.<\/p>\r\n<p>Non fraintendetemi, non ci hanno scelto perch\u00e9 siamo deboli; ci hanno scelto perch\u00e9 siamo donne forti che sono state trovate in un momento di vulnerabilit\u00e0.<\/p>\r\n<p>Narcissists have very fragile egos, they need someone with a strong mind, strong personality, someone who\u2019s likable, emotional, empathetic, and driven so they can feed off of us like a parasite needs a host.<\/p>\r\n<p>What I\u2019ve come to realize after loving this kind of human is that I am stronger than I give myself credit for and I will never let another person make me think otherwise.<\/p>\r\n<p>Quello che pensavo fosse il pi\u00f9 grande amore della mia vita si \u00e8 rivelato invece una delle lezioni pi\u00f9 preziose. Ora so di cosa sono capace dal punto di vista emotivo e non permetter\u00f2 mai pi\u00f9 a nessuno di portarmi via la pace.<\/p>\r\n<p>I am now more aware of people\u2019s intentions, red flags, and subtle signs.
