If they were to truly relax, they would become aware of what is going on in their body. When we fully let go, drop our muscles, and come back to our body, we notice discomfort. This discomfort is a message from our body telling us something is wrong. That is why they don’t like sitting with themselves. The moment they try to let go and relax, the discomfort starts surfacing, and it scares them. They run away from it instantly, always moving on to the next thing. They never rest, and unfortunately, they do not let you rest either if you’re their partner or child. You have to keep running with them.

Their need for distraction translates into materialistic addiction, which drains and chronically fatigues you. If you try to rest, they call you lazy, boring, and ridicule you for being human. They don’t believe in rest and expect you to act as their extension, doing what they do. Imagine being married to such a narcissist for decades. The chronic fatigue you experience is because you’re constantly running and doing things. If you don’t, they put you down.
