Number 6: Seeking Revenge
If they still can’t get to you, they’ll escalate their tactics and seek revenge. If they have any leverage over you—financial, legal, or emotional—you can be sure they’ll use it. They might drag you through legal battles out of sheer spite, even to their own detriment. Narcissists are the epitome of “cut off your nose to spite your face.” As long as they hurt you, they don’t really care who they hurt or inconvenience in the process, including themselves.
Additionally, they might sabotage opportunities in your career or personal life. They’ll definitely try to ruin your credibility if they can get away with it. Why? Because narcissists see boundaries as a form of betrayal, and in their twisted mind, betrayal deserves punishment. Your job in a situation like this is to take away any power or leverage they may have over you. Be smart and be proactive: protect yourself before they strike.
Remember, narcissists move on, but they never really let go—not really. Even when they’re in a new relationship, at some point, the narcissist will shift their focus to a new target, a new source of supply. But don’t be fooled—you’re still on their radar. Again, they might circle back many years later. They’ll pop up unexpectedly, seemingly out of nowhere. To a narcissist, people aren’t people; they’re playthings, possessions, targets to manipulate, dominate, dupe, deceive, exploit, and control.
