It’s not about crafting the perfect post or imagining their reaction. It’s about letting go of the need for validation altogether. True freedom comes when you stop caring whether they see your happiness or not. Joy becomes genuine—not staged for their benefit, but real and fulfilling for you.
Next time you’re tempted to post something with them in mind, pause and ask yourself: “Am I doing this for me, or for them?” If the answer is “them,” put the phone down. Take a deep breath, and remember: the only way to win with a narcissist is to stop playing their game. Let your life be about you—not their reaction.
Sharing is caring!
