Vox and the Pack :Fire_Enby:<p>How does one recognize whether or not what one experienced was narcissistic abuse?</p><p>It's not like one can ask the hypothetical abuser. They will deny it. Is learning about the patterns of narcissistic abuse and subsequently recognizing them as how they show up in one's lived experience the best one can do?</p><p>I find that a very unsatisfactory conclusion but it does seem like the best one can do. I probably lived in a relationship with at least narcissistic abuse patterns. And the unsolvable ambiguity of it all bothers me.</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/abuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>abuse</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/psychologicalAbuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychologicalAbuse</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/narcissisticAbuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>narcissisticAbuse</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/narcissism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>narcissism</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/relationships" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>relationships</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/trauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trauma</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/healing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>healing</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neurodivergent</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/neurodivergence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neurodivergence</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/actuallyADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>actuallyADHD</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Autism</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>autistic</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/actuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>actuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AuDHD</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/actuallyAuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>actuallyAuDHD</span></a></p>
