>>5819529Idk if you're still around but
> the people who have emotionally used me would read your words and say it actually pertains to them, not me. People who are so mentally fucked up constantly paint themselves as the victim no matter what. I’ve been gaslit in the actual sense many times beforeYes they will, and I have been too. Let them. In a practical sense, there's nothing to be done with something disingenuous or whose authenticity is in doubt.
>Without communication there is no relationship. Without respect there is no love. Without trust there's no reason to continue.That last bit, especially, flies against human nature. "See a problem, solve it." But without mutual trust, it simply becomes an error of thermodynamics. Which is an everyday problem if you have a very high intolerance of trust issues. Which describes PTSD in a nutshell. Personally I try to limit who I place such a high burden on to those who I think would be actually happy to entertain what they'd have to. And for the rest, in order to go about life if nothing else, I try to be forgiving, externally, of that which I can't match internally. (Until I can't.) Also in doing this, you leave room for people to bring whatever they feel and think to the table, which is necessary to build anything honest and worthwhile.
And yes, narcissists are attracted to people with high EQ, and it tends to work out a lot like you describe. They're simultaneously jealous of what you can so "easily" sincerely offer, self loathing because they can't, and at the same time desire what you offer. And the high EQ person will likely want all the more to offer that warmth, understanding it intuitively, how living that coldness must feel. It can make for hell on wheels.
I'd suggest taking some time to read about it to get to know yourself better. So you know what your limits are and how to spot these kind of things/safeguard yourself.
