For some reason my Uncle Eric decided to contact me after several years of not talking. I've been seeing YouTube videos about narcissism and how to deal with it may have brought this about. Kind of feels like the universe is testing me and I'm feeling all kinds of anxiety and discomfort. Questions are racing through my mind like "why is he texting me now?" I feel kind of bitter about my family not talking to me or going out of their way to say anything. Honestly if I had to choose I would just rather not talk to a lot of them. I'm just afraid that if I don't text back that my Uncle Eric will try to call me. I really just don't want to talk to him. Both my Uncle Eric and Uncle Danny are the most narcissistic and abusive people in my direct family. It kind of feels like after my grandmother passed they took up the narcissistic mantle. They went from being flying monkeys to narcissists. They're not really physically abusive but they inflict the mental kind of abuse. Which to me feels worse because it sticks with you. Scrapes, bruises, broken bones, etc all heal over time. It's harder to heal damage done to your mental state. I'm feeling a lot of anxiety right now and I am confused as to why after 2 years of no contact he wants to talk to me all of a sudden.
