Why Narcissists Are Doomed to Mess with a Chosen One on a Healing Journey
In the first official episode of *Surviving Narcissists and Healing on Purpose*, host Jenn ( MamiSoTrue) shares how childhood rejection shaped her adult relationships and what healing has helped her change. Her story offers survivors a compassionate reminder: you can stay open-hearted while setting boundaries, trusting yourself, and choosing peace. - MamiSoTrue reflects on how emotional disconnection in childhood and separation from her father left her with questions about being lovable, chosen, and worthy of care. - She describes accepting inconsistency as chemistry, attention as progress, and brief good moments as proof of someone’s character. - Intense attention is not the same as intimacy. Trust takes time, and actions matter more than promises or imagined futures. - Healing means noticing when anxiety, uncertainty, and the rush of receiving attention are being mistaken for love. -MamiSoTrue shares questions that help her assess a relationship: Do I feel safe? Can we communicate through difficulty? Am I able to be myself? - Leaving an unhealthy relationship can involve grief for the person, the promises, and the future you hoped for. Missing someone does not mean leaving was the wrong choice. - Boundaries are not revenge. They are a way to protect your peace, believe what you see, and stop negotiating for basic respect. - Healing does not require becoming cold. Jenn encourages listeners to remain kind and open while taking their own feelings seriously and seeking trusted support.
