Need some advice. I was seeing someone, and the relationship ended up being extremely toxic. They were narcissistic & gaslit me into falling more & more in love. We haven’t really spoken since.

I’m planning on keeping my distance, but with my luck we’ll be on a project together. Any advice for a narc-ex at work?
