    “Don’t ever delude yourself into thinking that you should have the ability to stay serene no matter how you are treated. Your serenity comes from the knowledge that you have a fundamental right to a nurturing environment and a fundamental right to affirm your boundaries.”
    Patricia Evans, The Verbally Abusive Relationship: How to Recognize It and How to Respond

    “Not to know is bad; not to wish to know is worse. — Nigerian Proverb”

    Patricia Evans
    “The victim of abuse is taught to believe that although she is hurting, she shouldn’t be, or that she is in some way responsible. From childhood, she is conditioned not to understand her feelings and so not to recognize the truth. This truth is that she is being abused and blamed for the abuse (as if it could be justified) and for feeling bad about it (as if her feelings were wrong). The typical partner believed the abuser’s denial and so became frustrated and confused even while she searched for answers. Unable to reach clarity and understanding, the partner was left with feelings of inadequacy and confusion. If her mate was not wrong, if he was not lying, if she did take things wrong, then she could believe only that “something must be wrong with the way she was — how she expressed herself, how she came across, or possibly with her feelings and experience of reality itself.” Thus the doubts of childhood rose up once more. She kept her mind open to what she might hear that would reveal what was wrong — why she suffered. She became, therefore, the perfect victim.”

    Shannon L. Alder
    “Narcissists will never tell you the truth. They live with the fear of abandonment and can't deal with facing their own shame. Therefore, they will twist the truth, downplay their behavior, blame others and say what ever it takes to remain the victim. They are master manipulators and conartists that don't believe you are smart enough to figure out the depth of their disloyalty. Their needs will always be more important than telling you any truth that isn't in their favor..”
    Shannon L. Alder

    Abhijit Naskar
    “No other being is lesser human than the one who thinks of others as such.”
    Abhijit Naskar, Human Making is Our Mission: A Treatise on Parenting

    Shannon L. Alder
    “You will never get the truth out of a Narcissist. The closest you will ever come is a story that either makes them the victim or the hero, but never the villain.”
    shannon l. alder

  • #7
    “pathological narcissists can lose touch with reality in subtle ways that become extremely dangerous over time. When they can’t let go of their need to be admired or recognized, they have to bend or invent a reality in which they remain special despite all messages to the contrary.”
    Bandy X Lee, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President

  • #8
    Shannon L. Alder
    “Maybe, the lesson we can all learn from the inner sadness of a Narcissist is to see through our own fabrications, our own illusions so that we can be set free to be real once more.”
    Shannon L. Alder

    Robin Sacredfire
    “Most people seem to get bored easily when having an easy life, and need to feed on drama and conflicts to feel alive. They are like vampires and zombies, that feed on the anger of others. The flesh and blood is replaced here by life energy. Now, the main point here is that toxic women and toxic men do make us sick. And life goes nowhere around such decadent souls. Alone, we have choices. With a mentally sick person in our life, you can’t make plans for the future. It's impossible to make long-term plans when teaming with people that are too obsessed with conflicts and selfish needs. And hopefully, there will come a time when such individuals are segregated from society and put in mental hospitals. Until that moment comes, we can only avoid them and label them toxic personalities.”
    Robin Sacredfire

    “Intuition - When shit just doesn't add up and you are confused about something, that is your intuition pointing out for for you to stop, look and listen because something is wrong.”
    Tracy Malone

    John Joseph Powell
    “It is an absolute human certainty that no one can know his own beauty or perceive a sense of his own worth until it has been reflected back to him in the mirror of another loving, caring human being.”
    John Joseph Powell, The Secret of Staying in Love

  • #13
    Jodi Picoult
    “If you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it’s not because they enjoy solitude. It’s because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.”
    Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper

  • #14
    Dan    Brown
    “Even the technology that promises to unite us, divides us. Each of us is now electronically connected to the globe, and yet we feel utterly alone.”
    Dan Brown, Angels & Demons

  • #15
    Kim Stanley Robinson
    “And in this curious state I had the realization, at the moment of seeing that stranger there, that I was a person like everybody else. That I was known by my actions and words, that my internal universe was unavailable for inspection by others. They didn't know. They didn't know, because I never told them.”
    Kim Stanley Robinson, Icehenge

    Mokokoma Mokhonoana
    “People who smile while they are alone used to be called insane, until we invented smartphones and social media.”
    Mokokoma Mokhonoana

    George Bernard Shaw
    “It exasperated her to think that the dungeon in which she had languished for so many unhappy years had been unlocked all the time, and that the impulses she had so carefully struggled with and stifled for the sake of keeping well with society, were precisely those by which alone she could have come into any sort of sincere human contact.”
    George Bernard Shaw, Pygmalion

    Solange nicole
    “There comes a time when something changes you... No matter the impact... Where the world no longer beats in time with you. You no longer feel amongst the fray.. And the feeling of loneliness is a brandished armor you wear the rest of your life.”
    Solange nicole

    John Geddes, A Familiar Rain

  • #23
    Greg Carlisle
    “Anything that inspires addiction or obsession - substances, entertainment, beauty, secrecy - is dangerous in that it can lead to isolation, self-absorption, and disconnection, to paralyzed stasis: an immobility that gathers like a force.”
    Greg Carlisle, Elegant Complexity: A Study of David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest

  • #24
    Stephen Christian
    “If isolation is the furnace of transformation, I could be ashes by now.”

    Stefan Zweig, The Collected Stories of Stefan Zweig

  • #27
    “The worst kind of loneliness in the world is isolation that comes from being misunderstood. It can make people lose their grasp on reality.”
    Shyza Chaudhry

  • #28
    “If it is your fault that your mother is miserable, it becomes a potentially fixable affront. Taking blame means that at least the hope of love is still there-all you have to do is deserve it.”
    Victoria Secunda, When You and Your Mother Can't Be Friends: Resolving the Most Complicated Relationship of Your Life

  • #29

    --Alice Little, No Contact Survivor”
    Alice Little, Healing the Traumatised Adult: Abused as a child and an adult? How to claim your life back now

  • #30
    “Adults raised in a narcissistic homes cling to the fantasy that they can somehow manipulate or control their parent/family of origin system to get the recognition and approval they require (that is, to get their needs met.) They had this fantasy as children, and they maintain it as adults. The reality, though, is that they had little control over their parent system as children and have little control over it now.”
    Stephanie Donaldson-Pressman, The Narcissistic Family: Diagnosis and Treatment

  • #31
    M. Wakefield
    “Children of narcissists learn that love is abuse. The narcissist teaches them that if someone displeases you, it is okay to harm them and call it love.”
