A narcissist will always try to exit leaving you feel as if you are the one to blame for the failed relationship. This is just in case they decide later down the road when they need you again and want to recycle you like all others before, that you will respond with with open arms and legs to allow them back in for more destruction to be had.
They cant fathom you hating them when they did nothing wrong that was not just deserved. They just dont think like that unfortunately.
Constantly remind him you are equally important.
Narcissist can be sadistic, it feeds their ego and gives them a sense of power to devalue and discard.
no. a sadist would want to hurt you. a narcissist would want to be hurt.
What is the usage of the term "narcissist" and how does it reflect upon this situation. I do not understand. nar
He probably was right New Answer- No is not you.Thats what they do,blame shifting.They want us to feel like that when they devalue us and discard us .They are very manipulating and want the ones they leave to feel guilty.Is all about them.don't blame yourself,that is what they want.
If you want to punish one, just ignore him. They hate to be ignored!!Answeryou be nice to them and praise them then get them to do what you want. Bust them in every lie, which basically means every thing they say to you, not being brash, but I have been with a narcissist for 10 years. There is no dominating a narcissist. You will have sex with one of their friends, to get back at them. They will have sex with your brother, or sister. There is no feelings of remorse, from them. If you are not doing exactly what they need, then they don't need you, or will make you feel like crap.
Affirmation
By definition, a narcissist loves himself. Sometimes his self love interferes with other relationships. It has been called the condition of our time. Is it a disease? That's just a label. If someone is unable to maintain a relationship because of self love, do you pity him or hate him? If he feels that he is able to live his life the way he wants, it
Whatever you provide that feeds their own needs.
Yes very much so. A narcissist hates not being in control. They also hate to be judged and seen as the problem. When in prison they lose their narcisstic supply.
OF COURSE! Mines is doing that now. They'd do anything to make themselves look like the saint. That is classic narcissist behavior. You have to be pretty careful in knowing who your friends are and who the narcissist has gotten to. I hate to say it but in order to figure out what the narcissist is up to, you have to think like a narcissist. Of course that makes you look bad, like you ARE a narcissist (you've probably picked up some narcissist behaviors being around one anyway) so BE CAREFUL. My narcissist called this game "Ex Caliber" after King Arthur's sword. He said people who were pure and of good intentions could slip past his defenses. Translation: You better make yourself look better than the narcissist and dodge the mud he's flinging if you want to keep your friends!
Why would ANYONE want to be with a narcissist? A codependent would be about the only type of personality that could tolerate being with a narcissist, and they will pay a terrible price. Dump the narcissist and get some help with the codependency. ACOA, CODA, Al-anon and Nar-anon are as close as your telephone.
