Look Closely
There will be a time when you look through old photos of you and your ex. maybe thinking about how happy you were, but look again, closely. Were you genuinely happy? This may not be understood now, especially if this breakup is recent. But let me tell you, behind the eyes it can reveal so much.
The Narcissist’s expression in photos is very telling as well. It almost looks like they are putting on a show, fooling everyone.
As you begin to heal from the emotional abuse, mind games, and trauma bonding, you’ll gradually gain a clearer understanding of your experiences over time. Looking at photos will no longer trigger painful memories, and you’ll understand that the relationship or marriage was never genuine; it was only perceived that way by you.
Yes, this is a painful lesson, but one that you will grow from, understand, and know your worth. It will be an awakening, a realization that you deserve much better.
You were in a fog for so long and now you moved through it, stronger, aware of the red flags to watch for.
The person in the photo is not the person you are right now. You have changed and grown and gained knowledge about Narcissism.
