3 Predictable Moves Narcissists Make When You Cut Them Off for Good -

When you decide to cut a narcissist out of your life for good, what can you expect? Surprisingly, quite a few things.

First, their attraction to you will likely skyrocket. Narcissists tend to desire what is out of their reach. For them, the allure only grows when something is unattainable, creating a “forbidden fruit” effect. People often crave what is forbidden, but narcissists take this tendency to an extreme due to the deep void within them.

Additionally, narcissists spend significant time in their imaginations, often to the point of delusion. They have inflated views of their value, abilities, and skills, leading to a sense of entitlement and superiority. Once they realize you’re truly gone, they will feel your absence deeply. They yearn for what they can no longer have, especially if they previously perceived you as someone who enhanced their image or fulfilled their needs.

This is true not only for romantic relationships but also for friendships, family, or professional connections. As a result, you can expect narcissists to engage in hoovering—tactics designed to pull you back into the toxic cycle of abuse.
