You open up. You try to get closer. But the more you reach out… the more they pull away. They need space. You need reassurance. And suddenly, what should be a relationship—feels more like a chase. You overthink every message. Every pause. Every “I’m fine” that doesn’t feel fine at all. And deep down, you wonder: “Is it me? Am I too much? Or not enough?” This is what it feels like to live with an anxious attachment style—especially when you're in a relationship with someone emotionally avoidant. The connection feels real… but so does the pain. And the confusion. And the exhaustion.

In order to overcome a narcissistic relationship, there are two ways out: Be discarded for the final time from the narcissist, or go no contact and cut yourself away from your abuser. Neither option is pretty, and I can’t deny that both are painful.

When a parent singles out a child for special privileges and attention, that child is often unaware that the relationship is unhealthy - even incestuous. As adults, these children struggle to feel validated, because while they have not been directly abused, they feel a sense of violation and crossed boundaries - usually done in the name of 'love' and 'caring'. The parent's love feels more confining than freeing, more demanding than giving, more intrusive than nurturing. Yet these children suffer from what psychologist Kenneth Adams calls The Silent Seduction.
