The Narcissist and You: Relationship abandonment issues

Everyone has abandonment issues, but when there's a narcissist involved, we often think they're immune to feeling alone and abandoned. The part that most people don't understand is that abandonment issues (and fear of abandobmebt) are quite normal and very common - it goes all the way back to early human history, as Angie Atkinson explains in this video.

Abandonment issues are an often unspoken and undiscussed psychological wound that is common in the aftermath of a narcissistic relationship. The truth is that feeling 'abandoned' is actually a very different form of pain, than being 'left' by someone (or even DUMPED- so that you hurt and need to accept them breaking up with you.)

If you have abandonment issues the first may feel more like a deep betrayal, an identity crisis, the second more like- playing out your normal routine of interactions with people who are self centered.

If you are dealing with abandonment issues due to having been raised by a narcissist or even a sociopath, you're not alone. In fact, abandonment issues are common among people who have been in relatinsips with narcissists - and it doesn't make you weird or in any way crazy, believe it or not.

The psychological wound that is common in the aftermath of a narcissistic relationship, whether it's a romantic or platonic relationship - even toxic friendships can make us feel abandone.

Feeling 'abandoned' is actually a very different form of pain than being 'left' by someone or a typical breakup where you have to come to terms with what happened
