5 Tricks Narcissists Will Try On Valentine's Day

If you’re just starting a relationship with a narcissist, it might seem pretty amazing at first because they’ll shower you with grand romantic gestures. They’ll make it look like they’ve done something extraordinary for you, like bringing you the most expensive flowers and doing all kinds of romantic things for you. Their idea of romantic gestures is quite different, which is why they tend to do extravagant things. You might think this all sounds great. But in reality, their grand gestures are mostly just to boost their egos. They love the idea of being seen as amazing people, so they’ll do whatever it takes to keep up that image. They might go all out with expensive gifts and fancy dates, but it’s often just for show. And usually, it’s not really about you or what you like. That’s why you end up at their favorite restaurants or doing their favorite activities, even if it’s not what you want. This kind of love-bombing is their way of making sure that they have power over you. Now, here’s something interesting.

Number 3: They’ll expect grander gestures from you.

Remember, narcissists always crave admiration and validation. That’s why even if they do something big for you on Valentine’s Day, they’ll still expect more from you. They’re not really into doing things for others. They’re all about being the center of attention, especially on special days like Valentine’s Day. So, they’d rather receive gifts and attention than give them. And they might not be thrilled about doing something for you that day. In fact, deep down, they resent doing things for you because of their desire for all the focus on themselves. That’s why even the things they seemingly do for you are really all about them. Think things like going to their favorite restaurant for your Valentine’s date, instead of where you actually want to have dinner, as we talked about before. Narcissists crave being the center of attention on Valentine’s Day. So, they’ll be expecting special treatment and anticipating gestures from you. And if you don’t meet those expectations, they won’t let you live it down.
