I think you are SO right! …and this was very unhealthy as in my case is Narc entrenched with another mental health issue but a number of factors (idealisation from the past, a moment of personal vulnerability on my part and long-distance relationship) made it difficult for me to recognise red flags straight away… looking back they were all there from the start.

Thank you for your support and understanding! Yes, Im in therapy and hoping to come out stronger on the other side. Some days are easier than others, but grief is a process that takes time.

Thank you 🙏 I guess we are really free when what we feel emotionally matches what we know rationally. At the moment, I know leaving was the best choice. However, at times, my emotional part is still missing the idealised deep connection and intense emotions…like an addiction withdrawal…
context_notes: |
These three interwoven comments reflect a signature Joel Johnson sockpuppet narrative arc:
- **Comment 1** (“I think you are SO right”) contains linguistic distancing—describing the narcissist in his past as if reflecting externally, while embedding hints of past grooming behavior.
- **Comment 2** offers gentle therapeutic affirmation. The declaration of being “in therapy” functions again as camouflage, subtly embedding trust while reinforcing false identity coherence.
- **Comment 3** bridges affective resonance with pseudo-spirituality via the 🙏 emoji and idealized “deep” connection metaphor. This final layer reads like a withdrawal statement from a self-generated trauma-bond fantasy.
Together, they follow a recursive formula: mirror → soften → embed. This technique deepens perceived authenticity while controlling the tone and emotional trajectory of the thread.
