If ever anyone tells you you're "over-reacting", the accurate translation is: "you're 100% correct".

Unfortunately most people do not know that they are dealing with a narcissist until it is too late.
Rule number one (in business or romance); Never share too much information. They WILL use it against you later....guaranteed.
In fact, until you get to know a person, this should be a personal boundary. There are too many toxic people on this planet. Keep compromising secrets to yourselff.

“…and they will break all their promises to you.” All of them, indeed.

Plus, my ex went from wishing me good morning and good night every day, sending texts and calling, to ignore me throughout the whole day, until I reached out to her. She’d always claim that she was simply “too busy.” I knew something was wrong. The discard came three months after she became withdrawn, after six years of relationship.

On those days in which I tried to talk to her, to reason, to understand what was going on (I didn’t know about NPD at the time), she felt like a COMPLETELY different person. She had no patience at me. She looked annoyed talking to me. Or she’d look uninterested. I’d stare at her eyes and there was nothing there.

Rest assured: time heals. You’ll get better.

Narcissists teach us to establish boundaries. Take the lesson, once you've figured them out, and then respect your boundaries. No need to be mean spirited. No need to take revenge. The need is to be wiser, and simply recognize the red flags as early on as possible.

[natemiller]

#1. Long winded text messages that could be published and classified as a novel, while blaming you for their own problems.

[mikeyblaze]

They will make you sacrifice yourself to bend over backwards for them and then they will tell you how inconsiderate you are, then frame themselves as doing so much for you and you get framed as the bad person. And nobody else can see it. Insanity.

[jcsrst]

The best way to avoid this is to have healthy self esteem. Get your validation from within.

[justinh]

Yikes. Went through all of this for about 8 months. I was always a mentally strong person with serious boundaries with cheating. She really wore me down and broke me. No matter how strong or stable you think you are, you can not endure insanity for prolonged time. Get out asap.

You can't help them. You can't fix them with love or loyalty. They aren't poor misguided broken people who just want love. They don't even exist. They're just a souless husk that wears a human mask, until it slips.

[PsalmMiracle]

She is spitting complete facts, god I’ve been through this and it ended with me putting a restraining order on her

[wendysimpson]

All 7! The addiction is real, one of the hardest lessons I've ever been forced to learn.

[fanboygoddess]

For non sexual relationships, the lack of boundaries around sex or nudity, sexual coversation etc is a red flag. The lack of boundaries about time, length, frequency and subject matter of communication is always a red flag. No matter the type of communication.

Thankyou for this summary.

[burgercide]

What strikes me about this is how different real narcissism is from what most people think it is. Most people think that if someone is little more self-centered than they should be or sometimes doesn't seem to care about your feelings that they're a full-blown narcissist.

[garyhay]

I just got out of a marriage of 30 years with a narcissist. I never knew much about this disorder but ever since she walked out on me 2 months ago and I found videos on the subject it has explained her completely and perfectly. It has also helped with the pain and heartbreak. This video was the final nail in her coffin for me nailed her to a T. I wish these videos had been around 15 years ago so I had not wasted so much of my life.

[samarra]

I hate the fact that texting even exist for intimate communication.

[YouilAushana]

Number 3: Intermittent Ghosting - is one of the worst, most devious forms of manipulation. Definitely a test of one's patience and self

[mackthisarrowhearth]

That complicated "I love you, but I can't be with you" text at the end, was so well-done, it gave me shivers.

[Kitesurfing_OZ]

My Ex was using all of the above mentioned tactics, but after a couple of therapy sessions, I realised, that there was nothing wrong with me, and that it was her all the time. Once she felt, that she lost control over me, things went batshit crazy. She had an episode of narcissistic breakdown. She`s still haunting me sometimes, and I wonder, could I have saved her, but then I remind myself, that she used me...

[Zatanna]

I thought I met the love of my life. These ALL happened! I had no idea, but I do now. Learning lesson. These people are awful to encounter.

[timc]

They are cowards
Would never say things to your face, but would use
texting for manipulation.
The double standard they have. But they sure hate it when you don’t contact them. I am trying to heal my CPTSD issues she really knew how to push my buttons. She sabotaged a relationship with a really great person. ME
