What simple lies have you been told your entire life?
I’ve been told that a woman with masculine skull structure, abnormally tall, with a thin frame is the most beautiful - stunning - breathtaking - a supermodel! That was really drilled hard into me back when I was naïve enough to allow myself around major media (which I now view as brainwashing for the most part). At a certain point in the past, I really did start believing that there was something wrong with me as a female for being so far outside the “ideal”.

I would recommend a hero’s journey over a maxed out credit card trip but the following advice is useful
Imagine the world if narcissists were told a bit more often, no more abuse. End of story. I’ve put a hard boundary between me and abusers. No matter how they have moaned and blamed me for being cruel and disrespectful to them - it’s quite pleasant and peaceful now.

The importance of being positive
When I started to expose a new age conman, his coconspirators (they seem like they’re all in a big secretive cult to me) would send me messages trying to shame me into silence through demanding that I become more “positive”. I went on the positivity group on Reddit and all these miserable sounding people were telling each other to be positive. If I told my father in my youth that I was fed up with all the abuse, he’d tell me to be positive.
The existence of an entire group who rely on the same dishonest and abusive tactics in order to function is hard to deny if one is willing to acknowledge it.
Shelly Knott on Quora wrote this of narcissists:
Most narcissists just can’t acknowledge when they are at fault in an honest way. It’s a defining trait of this personality type.
This is why when this type starts up with me, I don’t respond to them. I identify them through the incongruity they present (they seem full of BS) and they seem to persistently want something from me (usually my time at first). It feels to me like a vampire who won’t stop knocking at the door. It usually takes a while until they finally stop knocking.
I wish I knew how to really help them but nothing I have ever tried really did help unfortunately. My best terrible move with this type is boundaries to keep them away. I sincerely wish healing for all. I simply have learned by now that only people who really want fully truthful help - have the capacity to learn and grow as humans.
