You've likely spent years doubting yourself and suppressing your needs to keep the peace. The narcissist in your life may have conditioned you to believe that asserting yourself is selfish or wrong. But it's time to reclaim your voice and power.
Standing up for yourself is an act of self-respect, not aggression. Advocating for your needs is about being honest with yourself and others. Sharing your feelings makes you human; emotions are essential for mental health and genuine connections. A person who dismisses your feelings reveals their own emotional limitations.
Saying no is a powerful act of self-care. It’s about recognising your limits and honouring them. Every time you say no to something that doesn’t serve you, you’re saying yes to yourself.
If someone consistently disrespects your boundaries, remember that the problem lies with them, not you. Healthy relationships are built on mutual respect and understanding. Anyone who can't offer these basics is not capable of a healthy connection.
As you heal from narcissistic abuse, embracing these truths can be challenging. You might feel guilty or anxious when asserting yourself, but each time you honour your needs, you're reclaiming your autonomy.
Your feelings are valid, your needs matter, and your boundaries deserve respect. You have the right to say no without explanation. Surround yourself with people who celebrate your growth and respect your boundaries.
You are worthy of love, respect, and understanding. Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise. Your voice matters, your feelings are important, and your boundaries are non-negotiable. Keep standing up for yourself and sharing your truth; you're learning to thrive after surviving.
