Developing Complex PTSD

Avoiding

Bottle up feelings instead of sharing,

Be the doormat and obsequios person

Your narcissist parents or employer wants you to be.

Ignore the pain and hide your emotions.

Don't communicate your issues as that would cause retribution.

Realize you are the problem and not the accuser.

Internalize pain till it feels like a bomb will explode

From within. Make sure you are far away or alone

If you need to cry. Just remember there are only so many

Tears that you can cry till the light in your eyes leaves you,

That is to say if you still have light left in them.

Fast forward many years when you are in a different environment,

You will not even realize what emotion you are feeling.

Isn't it great?
