if you ever lived or worked with a narcissist, you may have been brainwashed into thinking your normal wants and needs make you a bad person
and you may have a huge fear of being a bad person, either from receiving overly severe punishment or because you can’t ever imagine inflicting the kind of pain you experienced on others
so because you associate basic needs with being bad, you’ve actually attached a deep fear to simply being alive
healing this pattern is one of the most valuable things i’ve done, and i noticed a massive improvement in my anxiety after doing so
