Narcissist Behavior Q&A
🌱 My worth feels like it's hit bottom
Years of being diminished inside gaslighting can convince you your worth has truly run out. It hasn't.
The short answer
Criticism heard long enough can linger as your own thoughts, even after the relationship ends.
Scenes like this
- Even doing well at work, you're anxious it wasn't really your ability.
- Looking in the mirror, their sneering words surface.
How to tell the difference
Separate the criticism echoing in your head from what you have actually accomplished.
When this happens, try this
- Write three small, precious things you did on your own strength today — made the bed, woke on time.
- Each time their sneering voice passes through, draw the line: "That was their forced verdict. My real worth hasn't changed."
