Gaslighting, manipulation, love-bombing, devaluation, or control can slowly chip away at your self-trust until you barely recognize yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This lived experience is often described as <strong>Antagonistic Relational Stress (ARS)<\/strong>\u2014the ongoing psychological distress that comes from being in a relationship with someone who has an antagonistic personality style, such as narcissistic traits. ARS captures the reality that this isn\u2019t just conflict or occasional mistreatment\u2014it\u2019s a cycle of confusion, invalidation, and emotional harm that wears down your sense of safety and self over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This kind of abuse doesn\u2019t only happen in romantic relationships\u2014it can come from parents, family members, friends, or even work environments.
