Trust the Off

October 5, 2025

If something feels off, it is. That quiet signal in the body isn’t drama; it’s data. Ask: Why am I not listening to myself? Sometimes the answer is an older wound, years of being taught that other people’s certainty outranks inner knowing.

If a covert narcissist is in the mix, the confusion is by design. They’ll dress harm in ‘good intent,’ polish a resume of virtue, and then gaslight the senses until reality frays. The result is self-doubt, second-guessing, and a fog that makes basic truths feel far away. Don’t overestimate the presentation or underestimate the pattern. If the inside says no, honor it. Trace the places where love was conditional, where confidence was slowly undermined, where condescension wore a smile. Then choose the body’s truth over their story.

When you know, go!
