Title: How to Know If You're Dating or in a Friendship with a Narcissist !
Date:3/16/2023
Greetings to you!
- Welcome to my podcast journal where I share my awakening from my narcissist induced nightmare!
- Hornswoggled means “to trick or deceive (someone)” and ohhh let me tell you, I have definitely been Hornswoggled and by someone so close to me, for at least the past 20 years.
- I have decided to share my experience to offer support to others who are going through the same thing my family is.
- The content I have found surrounding Narcissistic abuse by professionals and fellow survivors has brought me so much comfort in knowing we are not alone.
- This Podcast is meant to share my experience, information I have found helpful and the sources so you can check it out on your own, and share my feelings as I unpack this huge blow, as well as share content that has helped me find answers.

- Here are some narcissism red flags to look out for:
- Lacking empathy. They seem unable or unwilling to have empathy for others, and they appear to have no desire for emotional intimacy.
- Unrealistic sense of entitlement. They expect others to cater to their desires and may get angry when corrected, put out, or treated as if they’re “common.”
- Needs to be the center of attention. They may get unreasonably distressed if they feel ignored or if someone else gets more attention than they do.
- Displays arrogant behaviors and attitudes. They may constantly talk about their successes, romantic conquests, or money. They might “complain” about how much they get hit on.
- Exploits and takes advantage of others. They use others for their own gain. For instance, they might be “friends” with someone just so they can use their pool or get rides to work.
- Regularly talks about their fantasies of power, success, or beauty. Conversations often revolve around material things and never get too deep.
- Behaves as if they’re exceptionally “special.” They feel like they can only be understood by other “special” people.
- Envious of others or think that others are envious of them. They may gossip about people they’re secretly envious of, or make up their own reasons for why that person is successful, attractive, well-liked, etc. (“She only looks good because of all that plastic surgery.”)
In closing
- I hope each episode I record helps someone else who may be going through a similar situation or knows someone who has. It can be discouraging to many because they feel guilty for airing the dirty deeds done by others, but we should never feel shamed into silence.
- I would also Like to add, that I feel it is very important for us not to take on the identity of what was done to us, but instead identify as a person who is overcoming what was done to us as we grow closer to our true self and not the victim role our abuser wants us to be imprisoned in.
- We don’t want to become the same monster we are trying to heal from.

Abandonment:
To abandon, leave, or desert someone—either physically or emotionally. The word is typically used in the context of narcissistic abuse when referring to childhood desertion from primary caregivers or another key connection where stable and continual dependency is a legitimate expectation.

Because narcissists have such high levels of insecurity, they are unable to handle the loss of control that results from using strategies like gray rock, no contact, or setting boundaries. They can take advantage of any amount of anger or annoyance and channel the victims' rage to their own ends via baiting.
Remembering that narcissistic relationships are surface-level is crucial when understanding narcissism. Narcissists hate the vulnerability and connection that come with healthy relationships. For narcissists, partnerships serve as a mechanism for controlling their emotions. Emotional instability is unfortunately one of the worst repercussions of being among the world's most self-hating people.
Narcissism, in my opinion, can best be understood as the projection of one's own emotional instability onto another person.
- Baiting is just one of the many cunning strategies narcissists use to take advantage of their victims. Because narcissists are unable to deal with their own feelings, they often become violent toward others, both physically and psychologically.
- As a result of the intricacy of narcissism, the abuse is frequently quite illusive to the victim in narcissistic relationships. However, it's typical to see strategies like gray rock or creating boundaries being used once a victim of narcissistic abuse is able to recognize narcissistic tendencies and that what is occurring to them is abuse.
- The use of these strategies prevents the narcissist from controlling their victim, thereby removing their source of narcissistic fulfillment. The narcissist's insecure need for approval, adulation, and even mayhem is known as narcissistic supply, and it gives them the power to dominate the relationship and ignore their own emotional instability. This is why they spend months, years, and even decades employing a barrage of manipulative techniques to drive their victims' self-esteem to the point where they don't think they deserve any better in the abuse they are going through.

HOOVERING:
- Hoovering– To restart the supply of the narcissist, the narcissists will try to reintegrate an "escaped" or abandoned victim.
- They will do whatever it takes to “win” or “Suck”the victim back and resume their Narc supply much like a Hoover vacuum cleaner, which is why it is referred to as “Hoovering”.
- Many narcs that were previously ignoring you may suddenly become curiously interested in you again. Slithering back into your inbox, knocking on your door, calling you out of the blue and leaving sugary sweet voicemails as if they have forgotten everything cruel thing they have ever done or said about you.
- If you were successful in realizing that you were being treated poorly by a Narc and you decided to set boundaries or you went no contact and removed them from your life… you can definitely expect them to come back around in order to weasel their way back in. This can be within weeks, months , and then years. They will once again try and do anything to get you, their supply tank, back in place to begin the creepy narc abuse cycle all over you. This can or will be done with gifts, apologies given out of the blue, and if they are not willing to apologize they will try to shame you by saying that you are being stubborn by not forgiving them and allowing them back in.
- They have one goal, and that is to suck you back into being under their control so they can stick their nasty narc straw back into your happy healing life and begin suck that life right out of you.

I hope each episode I record helps someone else who may be going through a similar situation or knows someone who has. I can be discoruaranging to many because they feel guilty for airing the dirty deeds done by others, but we should never feel shamed into silence.

There's a quote by Iyanla Vanzant that goes, “It’s important that we share our experiences with other people. Your story will heal you and your story will heal somebody else. When you tell your story, you free yourself and give other people permission to acknowledge their own story.”

"I was Hornswoggled!" : Waking up from a Narcissist Induced Nightmare! Entry 1: THE JIG IS UP!
Welcome to my podcast journal where I share my awakening from my narcissist induced nightmare! I go by Ha'Rainna on the interwebs.
You may ben wondering what hornswoggle means? Well it is a synonym to bamboozled. Bamboozled is how I feel , Hornswoggled means “to trick or deceive (someone)” and ohhh let me tell you. I have definitely been Hornswoggled! And if you are here, there's a chance you may have been too, or you know someone who has, or you just really wanted to know what hornswoggled meant :) Either way you are welcome here!
I will start right off , sharing a bit about myself.
I am not a therapist, a counselor, or even a life coach. I am just a freshly 40 year old woman who is a wife and a mom of 2 and currently waking up from a nightmare I didn't know I was having. You see? If you were to ask me if I had a good childhood, I would have answered you yes. It had its ups and downs as much as anyone else's . Nothing stood out as abnormal as far as I could tell, or did it? I'm not sure now. Now I question everything.
I thought about how to start this journal entry of sorts, and i decided chronological just would do. I might as well start from the day all of the puzzle pieces fit together and things really started to make sense.
Listen to start the journey with me!
