They can’t even defeat each other.

Don’t take the fact that you couldn’t defeat the narcissist ever or for good as a sign of weakness.

Even an equally malignant narcissist will also fail at such endeavor, no matter how hard or long they try.

You cannot defeat something like that.

At least without breaking the law.

Don’t waste your time or energy.

You gotta implement no contact not as a form of counterattack or passive aggressive vengeance, but out of disgust. You’re so sick and disgusted, you want out.

The reason why you’re struggling with a great deal of anxiety that happens almost always right after you post a reels or a TikTok video, compared to what you normally go through when you post something else.

Let’s call a spade a spade. You don’t have imposter syndrome necessarily. Reels are being pushed toward people who are not already following you.

So in case the Reels video does well, you will very likely get endless hate comments.

If it doesn’t do well, you worked hard for nothing, and it implies implicit judgment by people who thought it was too bad for them to bother checking out.

In these damned if you do, damned if you don’t scenarios, you are very likely to feel stressed or anxious regardless.

This will definitely negatively impact your ability to regulate negative emotions, which would make it harder for you to make the case that you’re not an imposter whenever your mind throws such a suggestion at you. In other words, you will find it harder to defend yourself against the allegations coming from your mind that claim that you are an imposter.

Whatever that they’re criticizing about you, especially when the criticism gets intense, is an accurate description of what they are. They’re talking about themselves.

All who want to convince you that you need to hate yourself have more and bigger reasons to hate themselves than you could ever have, that’s why they’re jealous and think it’s unfair.

If they had anything to lose if such attacks were done to them, they wouldn’t even think of doing this to you.

I want you to imagine that for a moment.

They don’t have to be good people to stop themselves from trying to deliberately hurt you, they just have to be afraid that it could be done to them one day. Since they have nothing to lose in case that happened to them, they don’t care. They are not afraid, because you can’t hurt them.

And you still want your self-esteem to be predicated upon what they think of you.
