A special thanks to all the warriors who gave me their stories so that they could inspire others to also find the strength to leave, live their lives the way they want to, and to have the strength and courage to be happy despite what the narcissist wants for them.
Introduction
––––––––
It is better to laugh at the absurdity than to cry over the insanity.
As children, we are told that it is good to care about others. That it is our duty and our privilege to take the weight, the burden, and the world off of other people's shoulders.
We are taught to be caring and understanding of our fellow man, because as we so often hear, "people are fighting battles to which no one else can see."
This statement has some truth to it.
As empaths, we have a strong desire to help out as many people as we can because it is something that is inside of us that cries out, pulls on us, and tugs at our heartstrings to do good for others—and to do good for others without them ever PAYING US BACK.
A real hero doesn't expect to be thanked or even recognized.
― Tom Collins, When Irish Eyes Are Sparkling
We don't seek praise when helping others.
We don't need rewards or accolades for doing what we just think is natural.
And we don't need others to think highly of us.
We do what we do because it just needs to be done.
Just seeing a sad person smile and finding their worth again because of our actions is our own reward.
Compersion best summarizes what empathy really is, which is feeling happy for other's happiness and success.
This truly is a noble and honorable quality to have.
Being empathic is not a weakness or a curse, although, at times, I know it can feel that way—especially if you have just left a narcissistic, toxic relationship.
There are people out there who are the complete opposite of us.
In every sense of the word, they are our polar opposites, and they seek to do to others things we could never even imagine doing.
These people are, what many of us are now waking up to, called narcissists, toxic people, and what I like calling them entitled kidults.
The world is perishing from an orgy of self-sacrificing.
- Howard Roark
We are currently living in an epidemic of entitlement, unjustifiable selfishness, and narcissism on a grand level that has never been seen before.
As hyperbolic as the sentence above may sound, this does not take away from this truth, that narcissists and toxic people are the norms in society, and their numbers are increasing at a tremendous rate.
It can also be argued that awareness is becoming more prevalent, and they can no longer hide in the shadows like the energy vampires they are.
Either way...
If you are reading this, chances are you have decided to give this book a read because you are looking for strength, testimonies of others who have lived with these walking Chernobyl's
and have come out of it much more robust, wiser and better because of it.
Narcissist, and their legion of fools, the flying monkeys, can genuinely destroy lives.
Nothing makes these monsters happier than knowing that they are the reason for a person ending up on medicine, losing their job, or winding up in prison, or worst (you can fill in the blank here).
Because they have such massive hatred for who they are, these people have a monstrously desirous need to make others feel as low, like self-loathing, and as unimportant as they are.
They are, in every sense of the word, kidults.
They are the kidult version of the bully in junior high.
And why do these junior high bullies pick on other kids?
Because they are picked on when they go home, and these bullies need others to feel like they feel.
Or they need to feel a little bit better about who they are by putting other people down.
The purpose of this book is to offer you stories of other warriors who have been in a narcissistic relationship and have come out of the relationship better, wiser, and more robust.
Difficulty is what wakes up the genius.
― Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder
This book offers you eight stories of other WARRIORS
who have been around these walking Chernonbyl's
and came out of the toxic relationship better.
These stories range from a guy finding out the girl he was dating was a narcissist in disguise and knew how to play her victim card to a tee.
To a woman who had to deal with a toxic boss during the covid epidemic. How she needed that job to survive financially but soon realized; a check is not worth her sanity.
To a guy who created a website dedicated to educating and spreading awareness about narcissists and how we should laugh at their insanity.
The quote above, "It is better to laugh at the absurdity than to cry over the insanity," is taken from his site.
We must never give in to the insanity of these people.
We must never give up fighting for the life, the goals, the dreams, and the PERSON we want to be.
We must stay steadfast in our principle and remain true to who we are.
We must not ever fall to their low level because the day we do that is the day they ultimately win.
I know how frustrating it can be to lose so much of your time and life trying to prove to these people we care for them and want the best for them.
The anger and hatred that you may feel for YOURSELF are normal.
But know this, you are not the only one to overlook red flags.
You are not the only one to put up with nonsense time and time again.
You are not the only one who thought your love and understanding would help them change for the better.
How do I know?
Because I have done all the former.
We weren't foolish for trying to help them; we were just naive.
And to be naive is not a crime; it's just a lack of intelligence.
So, stop beating yourself up for being human.
We are all learning the best way that we know how to learn, which is by trial and error.
And in this book, you will read stories and testimonies of other empaths who were just as naive but later evolved and became more assertive, wiser, better, and grew to become Empathic Warriors.
We were bent by their insanity, not broken by it.
