When I grow up, I will not be like my parents. .....

Children raising themselves in dysfunctional families have One common wish, which is to have their own freedom and family which will be different from their primary family.

They think leaving without processing emotions will help them begin afresh.

Sadly, most of them replicate family dynamics worse than their parental family.

Shocked, sad and in disbelief they try to desperately fix or escape from it.

"Why did I Marry her/him. They're just like my parents."

"Why didn't I spot the red flags earlier?"

There is a popular saying..

When you meet someone and they feel like HOME and you realise that HOME has been TOXIC, RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN IN THE OTHER DIRECTION.

Some people exclaim they had GREAT childhoods, then how could they have landed in the mess 🫟 !!

The culprit is the saying that, one should only see the good side of people and ignore the rest.

It's not about Good and bad people, rather about being functional or dysfunctional.

When your brain 🧠 is used to the highs and lows of emotional manipulation, it considers the responses to be NORMAL, which is why they are not seen as problems or Red flags.

It's very important to process emotional baggage before entering into relationships or marriage. Emotional regulation is very important to live and thrive, else you'll be in survival mode for a long time unknowingly.

Most marriages have become parent child dynamics and not of two adult mature partners. Which is also why they have been failing.

If you try to escape from your lot, you can be sure that your overloaded flight will crash land right where have been trying to escape from!!

Take care.

A Major reason why abusive relationships continue is because of validation from home and society.

The thought process being, people have a good and bad side to them which requires unconditional acceptance.

Another one saying, one must always look at the good side of people and ignore the bad side.

This is not about a good and bad side.

It's about being functional or dysfunctional.

And in dysfunctionality neglect is also a form of abuse.

Because of coaching people to look at only the good side of people, the family and society are encouraging TRAUMA BONDING in victims of dysfunctional relationships.

The object becomes a source of attachment and fear. A double bind in psychological terms.

It's time to become authentic and choose truth over loyalty.

People have been losing decades of precious love and life because of Trauma bonding.

Wake up!

Absolutely toxic.

Narcissists buy services and demand loyalty.

The genetic component of narcissism is a given.

It's a generational Pattern.

Very painful but liberating once you gain clarity.

The only solution is to disengage and detach and operate via boundaries which they will try to knock down again and again.

Take care of yourself.

Have you come across professionals that corner you and create dependency by using the tactics mentioned below.

👉 They scare you about every possible mishap until panic sets in. They do this under the guise of making you strong.

👉 They don't comfort you because it will make you weak.

👉 They divide and rule. They will love- bomb some people in the group and devalue only the honest member.

👉 They will mislead you with advise and strategies and your panic will hike their fees.

👉 They will be calm and collected and say they are giving more than what is mandatory or protocol. You feel grateful and happy to have the best support.

👉 They will not brief you on the challenge and will discourage you from doing your own research.

👉 They will mock at your honesty calling you weak and scattered.

👉 Having uprooted your resolve, they will instill doubt in your own capabilities of courage and resilience.

If you are having to give explanations for something you didn't create, you should know who you are dealing with.

If you are aware and call them out on their lack of professionalism, they say "I'm sorry I can't deal with you. You are very difficult to work with.'

Then you are forced to make amends or partial peace because you need them.

This dynamic starts at home first.

Then you see it everywhere.. Even a tea stall worker can dominate you, if he knows your day needs his cup of tea ☕.

It's good to know who you are dealing with before submitting yourself to exploitation.

Have you undergone this at home, workplace, relationships etc.

Let's hear your stories.

To Whomsoever it may concern.

It has come to my knowledge that my husband, Mr Panyam Dinesh, had allegedly caused loss to several people by indulging in algorithmic trading in the stock market for and on behalf of them.

I say it with full authority that whatever transactions were carried out by my husband were wholly and solely done by him and him alone.
Neither me nor my children are in any way directly or indirectly concerned with any of the monetary transactions entered into by my husband.

It is requested to one and all that neither me nor my children should be harassed regarding this. Any appropriate legal action anyone wants to initiate against my husband, they are free to do so if required.

With a Covert Narcissist, you don't see what's right in front of you.

Because it's INDIRECT.

While you are BUILDING the Nest, the Resources, The LOVE,

They are DESTROYING it all, parallely and steadily.

So you see everything SLIPPING and can't understand how.

Soon your health, wealth, peace is almost Nil.

Yet you can't SEE what's going on.

So if you're in this space, the first thing to do is seek help from trusted sources and quickly regroup.

The Covert narcissist is very Hard to spot for the untrained.

Save yourself.

I don't see a difference between a LOVE marriage and an ARRANGED marriage.

It all depends on the mindset and hidden agendas (if any).

Going by the cases we see, similar experiences surface post marriage.

If there is one factor that misleads, it's the myth that you have KNOWN, someone for an X amount of time.

And most often it's the latter.

That known is just TIME spent together in most cases.

And it's the same logic by which couples don't separate!!

30 years of TOGETHERNESS. 40 years of a rollercoaster 🎢 ride etc.

So when we talk about TIME, it's very important to discern whether we are looking at TRUST or FAMILIARITY.

And most often it's the latter.

As a choice between Truth and Loyalty, thereby choosing the latter.

Choosing a life partner is more than filling an empty chair 🪑.

It's about allowing access to your whole being.

Think well and make well informed choices and not fear based decisions.

Most people are afraid of ending up alone so they choose to marry and stay in dead 🪾 marriages.

I think the most important life skills are financial freedom and the ability to live alone.

A hasty marriage is avoidable because your flight ✈️ will crash land at the same junction you are trying to escape from.

Take care.

Have you ever wondered as to how certain choices of yours got you into a fix without any clear problem and solution.

Maybe you have missed certain Red flags during the course of your connection.

Here are a few Red flags for you to spot and understand better.

When people say "I am not like others you know" what they're actually saying is that our values don't match.

But when people tell you that "I am different from the people you have met and it will take a lifetime for you to come to know the real me" it's a clear sign of a disfunctional makeup and possibility of interacting with a narcissist.

With functional people you will never have to guess or stay in a state of confusion because communication is very clear and precise.

But when in connection with dysfunctional people or narcissists, you will note that their communication is misleading and unclear giving off mixed feelings. You will spend a lot of time trying to understand their incongruent behavioural patterns. And it is this particular behaviour which will create a trauma bond where you might spend an entire lifetime trying to understand them and yet fail at it.

It might take your entire youth, your career and your peace and harmony including your health to finally place them and feel helpless in extricating yourself from the connection.

So, When someone tells you that "I am unique and you are very lucky to have me and it will take an entire lifetime for you to understand my true self and my benevolent being" etc run, run as fast as you can in the opposite direction because you are dealing with a dysfunctional person aka a narcissist.

When you understand who you're dealing with you can spot the red flags and save yourself of years pain and agony.

But in order to be able to spot the red flags you will have to detach yourself so that you can see what is in front of you so that you can feel what is actually happening and not project what you want on to the other person.

When you are in a hurry to merge with them it will be difficult for you to look at them as they are because now you perceive them as one with you, as you call soulmate or solemate and it becomes even more difficult to mainta

There is a time and place for everything.

Peace and harmony are sought by wise Nations and people globally.

However immature people and Nations tend to bait and switch off intermittently.

The talks for harmony and peace would have been ongoing before the onset or call for war.

It is foolish to talk about harmony and peace when our Brave soldiers are out there fighting and protecting our nation.

You should understand that such talks would have failed after which war comes into purview.

It will help our soldiers with support and strength if the nation encourages and motivates them to carry out their duties safely and strategically.

All other talks can happen within the confines of your bedroom.

Please note that war and death are not choices but supreme sacrifices made by our bravehearts and their families.

Please respect their duty and support them in the right manner at this crucial time.

Jai Hind 🪖

You're not tired because of overworking.

You are tired because of feeling unfulfilled.

The crowds are eating.

You are either seated at the table or are on the menu.

Now Read that again.

My inputs have been featured in today's edition of The Metro News.

The bit on Nick Names by Teachers in Educational institutions is rampant causing distress in students. This has always been there across all generations, but the delicate boundaries between students and teachers are being trespassed leading to chaos and unhealthy dynamics.

Home is where people should feel safe and connected which is missing these days.
