The way that a narcissist cannot consider your feelings. You do not matter. They love you. Loving them. There's never an oh I love you, it's. Do you love me? How much do you love me?

Being a drug addict with mental health issues is already a heavy burden, but adding a narcissistic partner to the mix can feel like the final straw. In her candid retelling, Paigeyyy exposes the hidden signs of narcissistic behavior that she wished she had recognized earlier.
Narcissists often hide behind a mask of charm and charisma, making it difficult to see their true nature until it's too late.

Paigeyyy emphasizes the importance of having a support system and prioritizing self-care and self-love.
