When you decide that your interest in perpetuating this dysfunction has waned, you should expect that narcissists will react negatively. They may resort to blame, accusation, and attempts to manipulate you into feeling guilty. Your reaction to this behavior should reinforce your decision: “You are proving my point.”
This realization might not resonate with the narcissist, but it’s essential for your self-awareness. Trust your instincts and practice self-care. Although it would be ideal to resolve these issues interpersonally, you can also find strength within yourself. Use your disinterest in the relationship as an opportunity to develop your integrity and character.
