Yes! This! And I can't force myself to feel trust for someone I don't.

To the trust point - I've seen this come out on dating apps a lot, where a dude will suggest you have trust issues if you don't START from trust. But Trust is like a paycheck, or PTO. It accrues over time based on your record. And if you aren't showing up doing the work, you don't accrue it. If you screw around and overdraft, you go in debt. We can choose to afford someone the opportunity to ACCRUE trust, but no one is owed immediate trust. I certainly don't expect them to trust me until I've shown who I am.
Narcs are so difficult. Have you read or listened to anything by Dr. Ramani?
