💣💣 DR. RAMANI’S NARCISSISTIC TRUTH BOMBS 💣💣

“Gaslighting is saying there's something wrong with you. You must have some sort of memory problem or some other psychiatric issue. You need help."​​.

"Having any form of relationship with a narcissist is like forever having to listen to an annoying podcast because they're not listening to you."​​.

"They want to dominate you. They don't want to understand you.”

"Narcissistic people are very, very sensitive...They react very strongly to any form of feedback or criticism."​​.

"To become gaslight resistant you have to give yourself permission to own your reality."

“I'd say to anyone in a narcissistic relationship, if you're going to stick it out, then you do what feels right to you. But you better have a plan B in place for when you get sick because I can promise you one thing, this person ain't changing your adult diapers."
