Finally, it’s crucial to understand what “missing you” means to a narcissist. Narcissists don’t reflect on their behavior or regret losing someone because of genuine love or connection. Instead, their “missing” is tied to a loss of power. They miss the control they had over your emotions and the ability to provoke reactions.
When they see you moving forward, living your best life, and becoming emotionally untouchable, it unsettles them. However, this doesn’t mean they’ll change. A narcissist’s response to “missing you” is often to try to lure you back into the cycle of love-bombing and discarding. Recognize this for what it is: another attempt to regain control.
Final Thoughts
These five steps—practicing emotional discipline, breaking contact, keeping your plans private, focusing on yourself, and understanding the narcissist’s mindset—are not just about making them miss you. They’re about empowering yourself. If the idea of “getting back at them” motivates you to take these steps, that’s fine. But the truth is, these actions are for your healing and growth.
By cutting off their control and focusing on your well-being, you’re reclaiming your power. And yes, the narcissist will hate losing that power, but more importantly, you’ll finally be free to thrive.
