There's a kind of pain that doesn't leave bruises, no black eyes, no visible scars, but it cuts deeper than most people will ever understand.

You don't notice what's being chipped away until you're standing in the rubble of your own identity, wondering how you got here.

If you've been second guessing your reality, questioning your worth, or constantly feeling like you're walking on eggshells, this video is for you.

Here are 8 signs you're dealing with narcissistic abuse, and why recognizing them could be the first step toward getting your life back.

You're always the problem, even when you're not.

If every disagreement somehow ends with you apologizing, if you're always the one expected to be the bigger person, you might be stuck in a toxic pattern.

Narcissists are masters at shifting blame.

They weaponize your empathy, twist your words, and flip every situation to make you feel like the aggressor.

You could catch them lying red-handed, and they'd still spin the story so well, you'd start doubting what you saw.

Your nervous system is always on high alert.

You're not just stressed, you're in survival mode.

Around this person, your body feels tense.

Your heart races at the smallest criticism.

And you can't relax even during the good moments.

Those moments are designed to confuse you.

Intermittent kindness is part of the cycle.

It keeps you hoping, investing, believing maybe this time, things will change.

But healthy relationships don't feel like constant crisis management.

If someone loves you, peace shouldn't feel like a reward.

Your boundaries are treated like inconveniences.

They'll push, guilt trip, mock, or outright ignore your limits.

Narcissists treat them like obstacles in the way of their agenda.

Soon enough, you stop setting boundaries altogether.

Not because you don't want to, but because it never ends well when you do.

So you silence your voice to keep the peace.

But real peace doesn't come from shrinking.

And if your boundaries aren't allowed, neither are you.

You feel like a shell of who you used to be.

The hobbies that once made you feel alive now feel pointless.

You might even find yourself isolating from friends or lying to cover for your abuser.

Because somewhere along the way, your life became about managing their emotions instead of living your own.

You're hooked, and you hate that you are.

It's an emotional addiction created by cycles of abuse, followed by fleeting affection.

The more you're hurt, the more desperate you become for validation.

And you're responding exactly the way your brain was wired to respond to inconsistent care.

By clinging to crumbs and calling it a meal.

You're constantly explaining, defending, or justifying yourself.

Ever notice how you're always in damage control mode?

You shouldn't have to submit a report for every word you speak.

You shouldn't have to prove that you're a decent human being to someone who claims to care about you.

When you're constantly on trial in your own relationship, you're not a partner.

One minute they're cold, distant, or cruel.

The next they're showering you with praise, affection, or grand gestures.

The praise feels like a high after being starved of it for so long.

You forget what steady love even looks like.
