Why a Narcissist Blocks You!

In this short I discuss one reason why a narcissist blocks you!

What does it mean when a narcissist blocks you? The narcissist blocks me when he doesnt get his way because the narcissist must always be in control. If the narcissist blocked me everywhere this means the narcissist is feeling like they need to use one of their many narcissistic punishment tactics to manipulate and control. The narcissist blocks me when mad and the narcissist blocks me when he doesnt get his way. Why the narcissist blocks you is because it is another way in which they refill their narcissistic supply. How long will a narcissist block you depends on how long the narcissist needs you to be punished. The only person who can determine when the blocking is over is the narcissist. The narcissist blocking game is determined by their own needs and wants and nothing else. The narcissist blocking and unblocking might seem arbitrary, however, it is well thought out by the narcissist and dependent on what works best for them and no one else. The silent treatment is in essence able to be enacted with the narcissistic abuse tactic of blocking you on social media. Do narcissist give silent treatment for any reason other than control and manipulation? No. Silent treatment in relationships is abuse and narcissism is marked by emotional abuse in toxic relationships. Why do the narcissists use the silent treatment to punish? Because they don’t have the communication skills to actually address an issue. They are passive aggressive and would rather avoid an issue due to their lack of object constancy than to actually address the issue. Narcissists are masters at deflection and blame shifting.

If a narcissist blocks you, you are lucky 🤔

People block narcissists so they don't come back also.

90%of the time they block you because they spend time with other supply and don't want to be bothered by you💀

See it as a blessing folks, enjoy the silence, give your brain a break from the gaslighting

Just recently found out a friend of mine was 1. I thought she was just a victim suffering from NPD from her narc mother until I saw signs of covert. When called out about it she discarded and said she was hurt. Came back a week later like nothing happened, I fell for it and counseled her. She got triggered when I set up boundaries and showed her your video of narcissist discard, said I was hurting her and tried to justify and blah blah. She made 0 sense. I said wow, I can't believe I was narcissistic supply to her so long. In reality trying to help and time invested in a narc is pretty much a waste.

I've experienced both sides. I had to block a narcissist who kept reaching out to pick fights. And I've been blocked by a narcissist who didn't want to hear how they had been hurting me.

Once you've been abused and victimized by a narcissist you also learn to set healthy boundaries...to protect your own overall health 💪💝

[Elonmuskateer]

Your mental health is everything folks,
Never let anyone control YOUR mental health 😄👌🏻

[syrexscuse]

And also so their "side piece" won't accidentally find out you exist.

I'm not the narc. I'm rhe victim and I had to block them everywhere to protect myself from the spell they had over me.

[irisjasmincook]

I blocked them first... No contact, peace, no more drama

[spintheglobe]

The funny part is, he blocked me only on Facebook where we were not even friends, both of our accounts are very private so we couldn't see each other's stuff anyway. But he didn't block me on Instagram, where both of our accounts are public and he could see all my stuff without even following me. It was definitely to send a message and punish, it served no logistical purpose.

I block narcissists. They don't block me. I know their BS. I can see right through a narcissist.

[amandalee]

It seems perfectly healthy to assert whatever control you have to better your life, if blocking someone to prevent yourself from seeing the painful and insensitive things they post, improves your mental health- DO IT. And move on - but don’t unblock them the next week.

My ex narc of 7 years very covertly removed me from every aspect of her life until our relationship was just a job for me doing all her work and chores. I've never been a big social media person and she lived on her phone 24/7, after a few years of being run ragged by her I started to question our relationship and THAT was the end for me. She had very convincing reasons why she blocked me from her social media and why she would leave me out of catch up's with her friends etc. Covert narcissists are truly evil. I'm free now but 18 months on I'm still trying to heal but I know now I'm better off without her in my life. I like your style and info in your videos, thank you for sharing.

I so agree. I know a narcissist too will block in between texts because he wants to let me think that he doesn't want to hear back from me. I block him for a couple of days so he emails me. It's a push-pull game that is not cute. Especially from a man that old. He's a senior citizen. It's passive aggressive and as you stated is used to reassert control, I wouldn't waste my time on it ever again

[life-is-recovery]

I have blocked the narcissists in my life so they'll have a harder time snooping and (hopefully) get bored. And then! I closed accounts in my real name and opened anonymous accounts when it became clear that blocking them wasn't enough.

Blocking their phone number still allow them to text and call, I'm just not notified and can then choose if I want to read or listen to their messages. (I don't.) But here's the thing: They don't call or text, they seem to prefer snooping on social media.

Via email, their messages are auto-directed to the trash. Email is also a preferred torture device for the narcissists in my life. So, now they can email me whatever they want and I am blissfully unaware that the messages exist and can honestly say I never saw, received, or read them.

This is an effort to preserve my mental health.

GREAT INFO! 😊 you're right. seems like they try to control others communications since they cannot have any self control.

[dougstobaugh]

I have been through a lot with dealing with Narcissism and Narcissistic Abuse and I have worked in Construction most all of my life and now I am Divorced and single and Retired and for right now I have set boundaries and I just need to say focused on my life and I text my daughters information on Narcissism and Narcissistic Abuse thanks. GOD-BLESS.

[babyhandgrenade]

This sounds exactly like my ex. He blocked me on everything after I called him out for stealing from me. That's fine because I have him blocked as well.
