How your personality changes after surviving narcissistic abuse
The effects of narcissistic abuse don’t end when you make the decision to go separate ways. This is how your personality changes.

Narcissistic abuse is one of the hardest tribulations we can overcome in this life. It completely destroys our sense of self and erodes our confidence over time. Even if you manage to escape narcissistic abuse, its effects are long-lasting and can follow you for years and years to come. It shifts our world perspective and can even result in major changes to our personality — changes which can have a major impact on our lives.
Surviving narcissistic abuse requires us to engage in active self-healing, and that often begins with internal acknowledgement. We have to look at the way we’ve allowed ourselves to be changed, and compare those changes against the person we authentically desire to be. By arming ourselves in understanding, and getting set on protecting the wellbeing and needs that are rightfully ours, we can find our way back to freedom. It’s a process that requires us to dig deep, however, and look at the bigger picture that’s waiting for us on the other side.
