Don't Belong Anywhere

I was raised in a narcissistic family, which led me to accept the behavior I now perceive as unacceptable. I also had at least two narc partners (the latter narc relationship was short-lived after identifying him for what he was). Several friends were narcs or narcissistic borderlines. I'm working ferociously on my reluctance to acknowledge red flags. I notice them and then I turn away because I always wanted to give that person the benefit of the doubt. I wanted to be nice. No, I feel differently nowadays. If there's ANY doubt, I just run and screw the need to be nice! My intuition is rarely wrong.
 
I apologize for taking so long to respond to all your kind words. It made me feel less alone. I find social media to be a poor substitute for true human contact, which is hard for people with obstacles such as ours. I am truly and deeply sorry for your losses. If I could hug you I would. All of you. You can correspond with me if you like. Just please understand, that I have 3 children on my own, that have to come first, even before me. Thank you for your courage to speak to me. Often, it is not easy to trust. I am sure you of all people know, that it is easy to be taken advantage of due to your condition. Case in point, I was conned by someone I considered a friend for 7 years. Never gave me a reason to distrust him. He flipped a home for me, paid to have it "inspected", then I closed on my very first home loan. I had a contractor come out to do some minor work. I ended up finding out this place, while it was adorned with pretty disguises, is in deep disrepair, and would cost over half of what the loan I just took out, would cost. Mandatory repairs, for safety. So, I must pack my home, put it in storage, and be homeless with 3 children in tow. One of my children has Autism and does not deal well with change. You get the idea though, choose wisely. Sometimes, you are so desperately lonely, you'd have a conversation with the devil. Which is why I feel I stayed in my unhealthy relationship for so long. I am still very unsteady right now. I am hoping to convey to you, that some of the most beautiful hearts and souls, are sometimes the most hurt ones, and sometimes, beauty, attracts bad people. You all have beautiful souls, and have kind hearts. Thank you for your kind words. My favorite quote is by Winston Churchill "If you're going through Hell, keep going". But shit, isn't it so damn hard sometimes. Thank you
 
I fit in no where. My oddities make me unappealing to be around. I don't want to exist.
Thanks for the post. I have felt the same way for decades also. I don't fit in very well. It makes me very anxious when I have to go around people. I mostly isolate at home or out in nature, depending on the weather. I can relate to lots of the posts here. I think I have found somewhere that I feel I may fit in, here in this forum.
Peace Be Safe
