Karma & Diamonds

A narcissist never truly sees the woman in front of him. He only notices the parts of her that feed his ego. This is how the damage happens quietly and over time. 1️⃣ He treats your love as fuel not connection When you give affection he doesn’t feel closer to you. Rather, he gets an ego boost. He feels powerful. Your warmth becomes something he believes he deserves, rather than something to be cherished. 2️⃣ He mistakes loyalty for weakness The more committed you are the more secure he feels that you will stay no matter what. Instead of appreciating your loyalty he tests it by crossing lines - to test how much you will tolerate. 3️⃣ He uses your pain as reassurance of control When you cry or withdraw, he doesn’t feel remorse. He feels validated. Your reaction tells him that he still has power over you. 4️⃣ He drains your kindness without noticing the cost Your empathy becomes something he leans on to regulate himself and to avoid being accountable for how he treats you. He takes your understanding freely without acknowledging what it’s taking from you. 5️⃣ He only recognises your strength when you pull away That’s when fear appears. He never respected your strength while it served him. He only notices it once it threatens his comfort. 6️⃣ He never truly sees you He sees what he needs reflected back at him. Not the woman who tried, who cared, who carried the emotional weight of the relationship. The moment you understand that you were never the problem is the moment your power begins to return. You were not asking for too much. You were simply asking the wrong person. #narcissist #narcissism

Here are 5 ways a narcissistic mother treats her daughter: 1️⃣ She dismisses your emotions. If you cry, she says you’re too sensitive. If you speak up, she calls you rude or disrespectful. Instead of comforting you, she criticises you. You learn that your feelings are a problem rather than something that deserves to be treated with tenderness. 2️⃣ She competes with you instead of supporting you. When something good happens to you, she minimises it or shifts the focus back to herself. Your achievements don’t feel celebrated, they feel like an inconvenience. Over time, you start downplaying yourself, sharing less and sometime you might even question whether it’s okay to feel proud of your achievements. 3️⃣ She uses guilt to keep control. She reminds you of everything she’s done for you even when you didn’t ask. When you set boundaries, you’re called selfish or ungrateful. She may say you’ve changed or that you’re “breaking up the family” when you try to live your own life. 4️⃣ She becomes the victim when you raise an issue. When you try to talk about something that hurt you, she cries, gets angry or goes silent. You end up apologising for bringing it up. She rewrites what happened so she doesn’t have to take responsibility. In the end, you’re left doubting your own memory. 5️⃣ She doesn’t treat you as a separate person. Your choices, appearance and feelings are expected to reflect well on her. You weren’t encouraged to discover who you are, you were shaped to fit what she needed. When you step outside that role, you’re met with criticism, distance or shame. If this feels familiar, you’re not imagining it. This isn’t “just how mums are.” It’s a pattern and it has tremendous impact on you. #narcissisticparent #narcissisticpersonalitydisorder #narcissisticabuserecovery #motherwound #motherwoundhealing #narcsurvivor #narcawareness

This is not about judging anyone’s sexuality. Being gay is not the problem. The real pain begins when a woman gives her whole heart to a marriage, only to discover later that her partner was never capable of loving her in the way she needed. These signs are not for blame, they exist to help you recognise patterns early and protect yourself from years of confusion and self-doubt. 1️⃣ He avoids real intimacy He’s beside you but never with you. Physical closeness feels distant, almost mechanical. He’s there in body but his soul is elsewhere. You feel the rejection long before you ever understand it. 2️⃣ His emotional world belongs to other men, not you Friendships are healthy but when his every emotional need is met elsewhere, you become invisible. You’re a partner in name but not in connection. 3️⃣ He shows no instinct to protect when other men notice you Instead of care or presence, you’re met with indifference. His detachment feels strange, almost hollow, like something vital is missing. 4️⃣ His attraction toward women feels rehearsed The compliments, the affection, even intimacy can feel like performance. It’s not desire, it’s obligation… like he’s playing a role he never truly wanted. 5️⃣ There’s always a distance No matter how much love you give, he never fully lets you in. It’s like living with someone who keeps the door locked to their true self. None of this makes him a bad person. But it’s heartbreaking to pour your love, loyalty and years into a marriage where you were never truly chosen. Recognising these signs early brings clarity. It helps you understand that you were never unworthy, the connection was simply never aligned. Do you experience any of these signs? #marriage #marriageadvice

One thing a narcissist will often do in an argument is ask: “Give me one example of when I did that.” And suddenly your mind goes blank. You know the pattern. You know how it felt. You know it has happened before. Yet in that moment, under pressure, you can’t pull up one clear example. That doesn’t mean you’re lying. It doesn’t mean you imagined it. It also doesn’t mean it did not happen. This is a tactic designed to take power away from you. They drag you into a courtroom you never agreed to enter. They demand perfect details, especially knowing that you’re emotionally reactivated. Your nervous system is in fight or flight. When this happens, the part of your brain that retrieves memories doesn’t work in the same way. They know this, of course. By forcing you to produce one perfect example, they shift the focus away from the pattern and onto you. The second you hesitate, they use it as proof that you’re just exaggerating, being dramatic or unstable. The harm isn’t in the question. The harm is in their putting you on the spot. They pressure you to provide evidence while you’re overwhelmed, worn down and doubting yourself from their constant denial and invalidation. That’s why later, when you’re calm, the examples come flooding back, when your mind finally feels safe enough to access them. If you struggle to recall details in the heat of an argument with someone who constantly denies your reality, do NOT see this as a flaw in you. Just see this as great information, a torch that’s shining a light on how unsafe the dynamic between you and them actually is. #narcissist #narcissism

One of my favourite Sadhguru quotes ♥️ ㅤ #karma #sadhguru #smitajoshi #karmaanddiamonds

Narcissists don’t break when you confront them. They break when they realise they’ve lost access to you, your energy, your attention, your willingness to keep explaining yourself. And the most powerful part is, you never have to raise your voice. Here are five things that quietly unravel their control: 1. Your silence You stop explaining, stop defending, stop reacting. Why it works: Narcissists thrive on emotional reactions. Silence leaves them powerless. 2. Your indifference You no longer flinch when they try to trigger you. You’ve stopped caring and they know it. Why it works: They want to be the centre of your world. Nothing feels more threatening to a narcissist than becoming irrelevant. 3.. Your glow-up You start healing. You’re smiling again. You’re no longer stuck — and it has nothing to do with them. Why it works: They hoped you’d stay broken. Watching you rise without them is a truth they can’t escape. 4. Your boundaries You’re now able to say “no” without guilt. You leave without a speech. Why it works: Boundaries remind them they never had as much power as they thought. 5. Your peace You don’t argue, you don’t retaliate — you simply move forward. Why it works: They don’t know how to survive without chaos. Peace is the one thing they can’t control. They don’t miss you. They miss the version of you they could control. And when that version no longer exists, they’re left with the one thing they’ve spent their whole lives avoiding: themselves. #smitajoshi #fyp #narcissisticabuse #narcissist #narcissisticabusesurvivor #emotionalhealing

He doesn’t see her as a partner. He sees her as something he owns. In his mind she’s there to support his image, not to be understood or valued. People rarely talk about this part… 1️⃣ “She’ll never leave me” He weakens her sense of self until she believes she cannot manage without him. He chips away at her confidence until she feels small. Reality: She can leave. The moment she chooses herself over his control is the moment his power disappears. 2️⃣ “If she walks away I’ll pull her back” He offers whatever sounds convincing in the moment. Therapy, change, affection, anything that keeps her close. None of it is about healing. It is about access. Protect yourself: Believe patterns not promises. Consistency of behaviour is what reveals truth. 3️⃣ “She exists to keep me feeling superior” He needs her to be unsure and doubting so he can feel certain and strong. When she grows, he cuts her down. When she breaks, he feels in control. Heal by remembering: You were never the problem. You were with someone who felt threatened by your strength. 4️⃣ “No one will believe her” He prepares his audience early. He labels her unstable or dramatic so that when she speaks people doubt her first. Protect your heart: You do not need to convince anyone who chooses his version of events. Truth reveals itself with time. 5️⃣ “I’ll keep her off balance” He shifts between cruelty and affection, guilt and comfort. The inconsistency keeps her hoping for the version of better him but he flip-flops from one to the other. The way out: Clarity. Write down what you experience. When you see it in your own words the pattern becomes undeniable. 6️⃣ “She still cares so I still win” He measures control by the emotional energy she gives him. Pain, confusion, affection, it all feeds his ego. Heal by reclaiming your energy. You do not need to hate him. You only need to stop giving him access to the parts of you he misused. #marriage #narcissist

Say it with me - “I love you but this is my boundary.” ㅤ Setting boundaries is never selfish. ㅤ #boundaries #smitajoshi #karmaanddiamonds
