Can narcissistic abuse affect you even if the connection only lasted three weeks? Is it normal to still feel impacted by how someone treated you?

I experienced every stage of narcissistic abuse with him — the idealization (studying me, learning my trauma, saying all the right things), the devaluation (disrespect, throwing my vulnerabilities back in my face), and the discard (ghosting me and acting like I never existed). This wasn’t a normal “we talked and it didn’t work out” situation. It was deeply damaging. My mistake was being open about my mental and emotional wellbeing from the start, and he still chose to proceed anyway.

Or is this a normal dating thing? I’m so curious to know

Researchers looked at 530 million spelling attempts by children in the UK and concluded many would benefit from a clip around the ear. The ten most commonly misspelt words were,
• Sketch
• Mischievous
• February
• Couldn't
• Mustn't
• License
• Definitely
• Indefinite
• Convenience
• Preferred

I suppose we can forgive children. After all, they're still learning, and for most of them, emoji is their first language. But how many on the list are you confident at spelling?
