I like to think about things. I also like to question things – sometimes just for the sake of it.
I nerd myself into some things. Other things I am extremely uninterested in.
I have also become a climate change aunt, despite mine so far, in the context, young age.
On this blog you can read most of what fits in my world of thought. From social criticism to beauty 40+ to embarrassing stories to…
Welcome! 🙂
I completely forgot to tell you about my new project. The last fifteen years or so I have, due to my bipolar diagnosis, had extremely difficult to complete projects I started. Therefore, I am a little extra pleased to have actually come a long way in my project on narcissism. I grew up with a narcissistic parent, and have reached the stage of recovery where I feel it is worth sharing.
My mother was a so-called hidden (covert) narcissist – a person sees himself as perfect (like any narcissist), but who also sees himself as a constant victim, who is completely incapable of taking responsibility for their own actions, who blames everything on everyone else, where self-righteousness abounds in abundance – and on the whole is a completely impossible human being to have a relationship even.
To grow up having such a person around is incredibly stressful. Especially if you do not have another adult around you who understands what it is about and can balance the trauma caused by the narcissist. My dad did his best, but he did not understand what was behind his mother's strange behavior, and therefore he did not really choose the right way to compensate.
No matter what – I have spent my whole life healing in different ways, recover from co-dependence, and become whole as a human being. Lately, I have gained a lot of insights – among other things with the help of yoga, actually, and this is what is behind my new project.
On Youtubekanal.
I'm going to start a Youtube channel where the content will be about just the recovery from growing up with one, in my case, hidden narcissist to mother. I want a positive focus on recovery, rather than “It's such a shame about me because I had a narcissist for my mother”. It does not benefit anyone, and I would like this to be useful to more than myself.
The channel itself already exists, but it is still empty of content (in addition to a short intro video). However, the associated blog is already up and running, and there I am currently pumping out posts about various things. It still attracts more readers than I thought, so I hope that more and more will come. I share it in both Swedish and English groups on Facebook, as well as on Twitter. These are the social media I feel comfortable using.
And yes, just. Everything happens and will continue to happen in English. There are many, many more than me in the world who grew up with one, or in the worst case, two narcissistic parents. Not everyone obviously speaks Swedish.
My projects usually usually be delimited and have a distant time limit, but this project I feel will last for a long time, long time. I do not think it will be unbelievable, always, but on the other hand, I think it will be important and worth spending time on. In addition, I see it as a huge part of my own recovery, and for me it is only positive.
There are many things to say about this, such as that my mother has been dead for twenty years – but all such things will be said on the blog. Do you already want to start subscribing to Youtube channels it's going great too, of course. It kicks off with weekly uploads in January 2022.
I'm getting really happy if you want to help spread both the blog and the Youtube channel. They can be divided both to the right and left so that as many as possible have the opportunity to take part in it.
Many thanks in advance. ♥
