Narcissist Behavior Q&A
🫁 They've choked me or kept me from breathing
Even with no visible mark, there can be injury inside. Even without symptoms right now, the safe move is to get medical care first.
The short answer
If they pressed on your neck or blocked your breathing, even once means securing your safety right away.
When this happens, try this
- Even with no mark or pain right now, get medical care without delay.
- If you're short of breath, your voice changes, or you feel dizzy, call 911 immediately. If their threats continue, don't hesitate — call 911.
Scenes like this
- They grabbed your neck or pressed a pillow over your face.
- They called it playing around and said you were too sensitive.
How to tell the difference
Even if they call it a joke, anything that made it hard to breathe or move was dangerous.
