Dear Narcissist

If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that by the mouths of two or three witnesses every fact may be confirmed. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
Matthew 18:15-17

You have accused us of hating you because we disagree with you.  But you're wrong; we don't hate you. Your beliefs and opinions are yours to keep, and we'd prefer it if you didn't continually try to shove them down our throats, especially when we have repeatedly asked you not to.

Deep down, we know that we will never be able to earn your love, for you will always withhold it from us. It gives you pleasure to break our spirits and our hearts.  We are human beings and you have injured us. You delight in the misery of others.

We will never be able to understand what makes you so bitter and so resentful, nor will we comprehend why you find pleasure in turning people against each other. We are angry at you for using us, as a weapon against others, and others as a weapon against us.

We will dethrone you in your kingdom of tyranny and lies. We will no longer keep your dirty secrets.  We will no longer keep our mouths shut and look the other way when you exploit others the way you exploited us.  We will no longer allow you to have power over us, or anyone else you have used and abused.  We will present ourselves as a unified fortress that you will not be able to penetrate or conquer, no matter how hard you try.  And we know you will try.  We know all your habits, your persistence, and all your strategies by heart; we have memorized them all.

We have strength in numbers, Narcissist.  We learned this from you.  And when we have finally had enough of your mind-f***ing games, we will avoid you.  Hopefully forever.

Do not try to retaliate against our shunning you, Narcissist. You will only succeed in sabotaging yourself if you try.  We are on to your manipulations and your deceptions.

We don't hate you.  The truth is, Narcissist, that we don't want to think about you at all.  We want to forget we ever knew you.  Our imperfect lives are perfectly fine without you in them. And most of us would rather eat dirt than be anywhere where you are.



Sincerely,
Your Victims
