I noticed a pattern in my life that I want to curb and learn to cope with.
Recently, I got into a conflict with a coworker over something trivial. There was an issue with the shared refrigerator in our break room and I asked her not to go through my lunch bag as she proceeded to "deep clean" the fridge. This escalated to a lot of passive aggressive behavior like victimizing herself and silent treatment (classic emotional abuse tactics).
As this continues to happen, I'm reflecting on how this happens fairly often everywhere I go. As a HSP (highly sensitive person), I know my empathy is like candy to narcissists, but also being raised by Nparents/Nsister I think makes me an easier target.
Has anyone ever experienced this? How did you go about breaking the cycle? How do you cope when the narcissist is in shared space like work?
