Narcissistic and psychopathic individuals misuse common phrases togaslight others.

They may devalue or idealize their ex to you depending on their specific agenda.

I gaslit them and deliberately tried toprovoke jealousy.

They cheated on me and betrayed me.

Ill misrepresent and distort what really happened to play the victim, so you sympathize with me.

They were so insecure and controlling.

Translation:I was thejealous and possessive one.

They were the love of my life.

I cant get over them.

I am so broken.

That way, you always feel like there is someone you need tocompete within order to gain my affection.

The truth is, I never really appreciated or treated any of my partners well in the long term.

Those are the exes I am truly obsessed with.

I wish I could have them back just so I couldpunish themfor daring to leave me first.

Were just friends.

I just want the best for them.

I am happy for them.

Ill feign joy at their new relationship and their flourishing life without me.

After all, I wouldnt ever want anyone to truly move on.

I never move on, either.

You are not alone and help is out there.

You deserve freedom and healing.
