Before my GF left me [52f], she said I am [30m] manipulative narcissistic psychopath. That left me...fucked up.. she poisoned my mind...

Excessive interest in yourself. Extreme selfishness.

I honestly felt like I was more interested in her fucking life, in what she did and talked about than on mine. She even asked me once what the hell do I do when she's asleep and I told her that I simply watch Netflix, play video games, watch porn, or read anything that's on Reddit. I told her, I feel embarrassed to even tell her this because I feel like a loser every time I tell her the same thing because that's the only thing I've ever done in my life.

Self-centred. Self absorbed. False image projection.

That is the complete opposite of what I've always told her how I felt about myself. I've always said that I have self esteem issues, I'm very self-conscious, very self judgemental. I get anxious, I get paranoid about stupid shit. Hell, to me, it was a big deal meeting her kids and family. It was like a major step for me...

False sense of entitlement. Manipulative-

Our last fight, she broke a stupid promise about going to watch a movie I was looking forward to for months.

It isn't the fact that we couldn't see the movie but the fact she disregarded a promise and didn't talk to me about it. She texted me that morning "I'm sorry. Look, we'll talk about it tonight".

I felt disrespected, disregarded and pushed away. I wanted to talk to her and hope she'd say something to calm me down, make her see that she's being a damn bitch and I'm hurt. Nope, nothing, she just continued on her day.

Her attitude, her pissy, annoyed attitude just made the situation worse.

Can you call that me having a high sense of entitlement? Because she forgot about our movie night and I was upset about that, but instead of making sure we're ok and that everything is fine. She just pushed it to the side... Which I got even more upset, I didn't even get even pissed or anything. I just felt more baffled by the fact she's acting this way.

using others as an Extension of Self. Making decisions for others to suit your own needs.

I guess I can be blamed for that one. There were moments where I felt like "we have this issue, what's your suggestion?" She gave none, so, I suggest this or that. She follow it for a while until we completely disregard it and slowly go back to our old habits.

We fight again, I'd tell her "how about we communicate this way instead of that way?" We both would follow this idea, then we slowly stop doing it and then go back to our habits.

I kept doing this on and on, she just felt like we weren't getting anywhere. At one point in the end, I suggested we need to get professional help, she had absolutely no reaction to it.

I felt miserable, I felt horrible but I kept pushing, I kept trying to give her hope and tell her that everything will be alright. Did it? No. She just snapped and took on this hostile attitude.

I said "why do you hate me??" She kept saying "I don't hate you". She even said "I'm sleeping better, I'm happier, I'm much calmer now." While I'm balling my eyes out, feeling devestated. She looked at me and said "you're crazy. You need help."

This is the woman who broke up with me and then casually talked to me as if nothing happened. Then, I tell my friends and family and everyone said "either she's crazy, immature or she's cheating on you."

But, at the end, I came out being the narcissist, psychopath who manipulated her. Fuck, some dude in here said "her expectations and reactions probably stems from her marriage. She probably snapped after her divorce. Even though she's probably over her husband, she probably still has the same expectations that were similar to her exhusband qualities, especially when they were in love. That's her basis and you couldn't meet them."

Then I watched some videos on avoidant attachment and they describe her current attitude exactly as that. It said that depending how a person is raised and interact with people at a young age, that's how they'll be when they're older.
