As a child I did not know that I was going to be a victim of narcissistic maltreatment and narcissistic abuse. It is clearly a consequence of the presence of the mental illnesses PTSD, (open and hidden) narcissism, codependency, gaslighting (cunning manipulation technique of hidden narcissism) and TPS in the family in which I, as HSP, grew up. It has turned out to me personally that many people use their positive sides to discover other people's weaknesses with the aim of abusing them to their own advantage and to the detriment of those other people. I thought I was in love with my second ex-husband from Algeria who had the marriage of convenience (fake marriage) as purpose to obtain a residence permit and a Dutch (European) passport. No, I was needy. I was looking for the attention and love that I did not get from my parents at home. As HSS, I now recognize the characteristics of people who have negative intentions more quickly, even if they give a positive impression.
