(Came From Abroad)

this is an interesting trigger coming up now:

i'm remembering now when my abuser was attempting to sabotage my job interview a little over 2 years ago

abusers like to do this - instigate unnecessary fights to rattle you; ensure you are not confident or independent

i'm glad to be made aware of issues / ableism in order to change my behavior, so am appreciative of suggested edits - i have grown since first learning/posting about this when it was happening to me in an acute form, and since then, learning best language to use

but, def welcome better ways to engage than saying narcissistic abuse isn't real (*my understanding is that even people without NPD can engage in this specific pattern of abuse, and that naming it rather than just saying "abuse" is important for awareness, and has been important for me, in understanding what to look out for and avoid*), publicly telling me not to use certain tags and engaging in intimidation/mocking campaigns, or screenshotting and reposting my personal thoughts with incorrect interpretations.
