[quote:QueueCumber:MV84MTYzNThfMTI2MjIxNTFfQkMxQjFFNEY=] [quote:My Take 673609] The initial reaction is to run from these people. And eventually, if the relationship continues to be abusive, is a good idea. But someone else will soon take their place because there are mean-spirited people everywhere and they can smell someone with low self-esteem. They seek them out to try to bolster their own false self-esteem. So what has worked for me, and it's no quick fix, is to start to learn to believe your own truths more than you believe anyone elses's. In order to do that you need to practice not only talking your truth but also walking it. Self-esteem comes from not only thinking you are a worthy person but also becoming worthy, by your own definition, of the word through action. Go for it! [/quote] I've found that to be true in my own life as well. Estimable acts build self-esteem. [/quote]

Some people make you feel like a failure. Warning: don't be "in love" with one,
but love them all the same because we all need love
, and some people just have their coping mechanisms that we need to understand, and show then loving kindness. Watch Dr. Orloff's video linked here, as it may give you relief from blaming yourself for failures with a narcissist.
