You’re not dealing with someone who sees relationships as mutual or healthy. No, they see you as a supplier, someone they can draw emotional energy from. It doesn’t matter if you’re their chosen one or just another pawn in their game. You’re just another emotional battery, and they’ll keep you hooked, hoping that somewhere inside you, there’s still that flicker of desire. You see, it’s never really about love; it’s about power and control. They thrive on it, and that’s why even after a relationship crumbles, even when it’s beyond repair, the narcissist still keeps you on their radar. They don’t want to let go of that power they once had over you.
- The Narcissist’s Emotional Turmoil and Confusion
Narcissists leave emotional wreckage behind like a tornado tearing through a neighborhood. When they discard you, it’s never clean; oh no, it’s deliberate. They leave behind a trail of emotional debris designed to keep you confused, questioning everything. Wondering, “Did I misread this? Was I wrong? Could it work again?” And here’s the dirty little secret: they want you to feel that way. They don’t want you to walk away with clarity; they want you stuck in that emotional purgatory where hope and despair blur into one.
Think about it: they drop you like a hot potato but leave enough breadcrumbs behind to make you doubt yourself. A text here or a little gesture there—just enough to make you believe that maybe there’s still a chance. They want you to keep longing for them, to play that game, always wondering if you’re the one who made a mistake, always wondering if things could go back to the way they were. It’s a mind game, plain and simple. And don’t kid yourself; it’s all intentional. The confusion, the mixed signals, the back and forth—they’re playing you like a fiddle, weaving a web of doubt and emotional chaos that keeps you stuck in their orbit. It’s not by accident; it’s strategy, and they’re damn good at it.
- The Narcissist’s Need for Self-Validation
Narcissists don’t just want validation; they need it like oxygen. You can’t get through a single day without them fishing for compliments, checking for any sign that you still see them as worthy of attention. And here’s the mind-blowing part: even when the relationship’s over, even when they’ve burnt every bridge, they still need to know if they still matter. They need you to still want them. It doesn’t matter if you’ve cut ties, if you’re miles away emotionally, or if you’ve built a new life without them. Deep down, in the pit of their narcissistic soul, they crave that one thing: the feeling that they still have a hold on you. It’s like a drug to them.
