Living with a narcissist often leaves you feeling like you’ll never be enough. No matter how much you give, they always find a way to make you feel inadequate. This is a key component of trauma bonding, where your self-worth becomes tied to the narcissist’s approval.

Narcissists are skilled at creating an atmosphere of constant judgment and criticism, making you feel like you need to earn their affection. Over time, you begin to internalize their negative messages, believing that the problem lies with you. This emotional manipulation keeps you trapped in the relationship, always striving to prove your worth.

Breaking free from this emotional hold requires recognizing that you are enough as you are. The narcissist’s criticisms are a reflection of their own insecurity, not your value. Once you detach from their validation, you can begin to rebuild your self-esteem and heal from the trauma bond.
