They say the sweetest sound spoken to a person in any language, is their name.

When you deal with a true narcissist, your words are temporary responses until they can evoke the response they want to hear.

Your words are theories and ideas (that may be giving a little too much credit to a narc) that have no relationship to you as a person.

One of Stef’s analogies was you are a broken machine and they’re trying to fix it.

To a true narcissist, that’s all your words are, you’re not a person you’re an object, who needs to be fixed until they get the response they want… The very least of all things that you have with a narcissist, is a NAME.

If you’ve dealt with narcissists too long, say your name. Say it over and over again, until you can say it with pride.
