alright guys I need help. I have no self-control. I lasted for a good few days ignoring her messages. I caved today. she knows all the right things to say to get under my skin and initiate an argument. why can't she just leave me alone? Why did she have to constantly antagonize me? she's doing this on purpose so I can't detach just like she provoked me on purpose the day I got the restraining order. I obviously understand it's my job to exercise self-control in these situations, and I was doing pretty good at that until she just found the right crack in my Foundation. Logically I want nothing to do with her but yet my emotions are still so volatile that if she chooses the right words I can't help myself but to respond. She belittles me, I know it's just more narcissistic gaslighting abuse and she's doing it for fun. How can I make myself immune to this type of provocation?
