Can Narcissistic Abuse Kill You?
People can ‘live’ with narcissistic abuse for years, if not decades. The damage being done, in the meantime, is like a slow-acting poison that slowly kills you.
As shame increases and self-esteem plummets, your curiosity and willpower slowly wither away. To fit into the narcissist’s rigid role, you have to restrict your natural flow of life energy. In short, you deaden the dynamic and spontaneous elements of the Self. You question yourself, judge yourself and hold yourself back. In time, you stop ‘living’ life to the fullest. We all die eventually, but for targets of narcissistic abuse, the process starts much sooner.
