I dont want to talk I want to be alone! It's way better than being abused

[corasteidinger]

AS a compassionate individual it is easy to fall for this.. It takes great Strength to run away ..but for your Own wellbeing...run!!!!
Put yourself first🙏

[debracappiccille]

Thank you Mr. Rosenberg for explaining these people in plain English. They are dangerous and terrifying and capable of destroying lives.

[Mari-lvrd]

Never fall for the bait. Nothing makes them happier than stirring things up so you look “nervous”. Then they will say “oh look how unstable she is”. Been there and it’s no fun.

[Christine-iogq]

I'm trying to break it off with my narc and suddenly, he's being really nice. I know though that a leopard does not change their spots and as soon as he thinks he has me where he wants me he'll just revert back to the nasty control freak that he was before

[salliegallegos]

Show no reaction whatsoever! It drives them batty. Better yet walk away and GO NO CONTACT FOREVER!!!

[Truth-matters-vz]

Mine did tell me, before I knew what he was, that he was afraid of ending up Alone.

[jacquelinefroehle]

Very true....NO CONTACT THEM. Don't explain why or what or anything to them.

[AngelaBally]

They discard over and over.. yet fear being Alone.. such a sad pointless existence

[dmcsunshine]

This is definitely a key component. I think it’s being called baiting. As soon as you take the bait and tell them everything they can switch everything you say around.

[christinajackson]

“Wrestling ring”. I love your words and the imagery they conjure up. I find it very helpful as such images stick clearly in my mind. (My fave is still “don’t fight with pigs…”. It makes me laugh too, which is always beneficial.) THANK YOU 😍🙏❤️

[BikeLife]

Going through this right now. It's hellish. I'm trying to put distance between him and myself to reduce conflict for our kids, but he just will not stop. And then he manipulates the attorneys, therapists and others involved in our divorce to take his side, and I'm left with an accusation of alienation. It's a nightmare.

[mac-juot]

❤❤😢😢😢ty I knew my dad suffered a lot as a child. His biggest fear was being forgotten.

[The.Indian.Goddess]

so true ...right in the nail head .... its so tiring

[christinav]

They’re afraid of being alone because they’re too lazy to function on their own they want a Cinderella to do all the work and maintain them.

[susanblain-bbyw]

Exactly what I'm going through now...day 6 of stonewalling. Gaslighting. But I know why he's doing this...and I will never own his behavior or join in. Its exhausting being treated like a ghost.

[markmeadows]

Welp. I not afraid of being alone. I enjoy it. I don’t have to compromise with anyone.

[sweetrose]

This crazy neighbor witch always stalking caught me off guard this morning yelling a bunch of crazy stuff trying to drag me into her drama, saying she's taking pictures of my front door and blah blah I said I'm going to call the cops on you and she said something else profane and I said shut up witch. What else are you going to do when somebody catches you off-guard! You got to do something to shut them up

[benjamintoms]

Narcissist want to devalue and discard.

[errollharper]

A lot, and I mean a LOT of responders here have seen or are seeing this syndrome first hand.
Not pretty.
Worse; there is at least some danger to you involved.

Do not underestimate this.

Way to go; Ross.
