Narcissistic body language

The body language of an abuser is an important tool in his box and sometimes can be over looked and not considered important as a form of abuse .Its well known that body language can be used if a person feels or wants to look dominant over another and if you are living with a man day in day out that is using such body language it takes its tole out of your self esteem with out you even realizing it .
My narc loved to speak to me with his hands locked behind his head , or he would rub his cheast in a goalrilla type fashion when he addressed me . I always thought my narc was very tall and i would describe him as being well over 6 foot but in reality he is about 5 foot 9 ish , the reason i thought he was tall is because when i spoke to him he never looked down enough to reach my gaze so i was always straining to look up at him (which was the way he liked it ). When we where sitting in the evening talking he would sit straight ahead never turning in to me , it was always i who had to turn to him , i noticed this one towards the end of our relationship and stopped turning into him on the sofa , he never once realised we where having a conversation like book ends both staring out at the room instead at each other , if it wasnt so sad it would have been funny .
So body language is another thing we can begin to label and notice in the future as a very big red flag that you may be dealing with an abuser .
